The Importance of the Kiyor - Rabbi Ari Waxman

as we're looking ahead towards parashat ki tisava's week right now we're standing at the top of har ha carmel hara carmela is located near haifa that's the general area connection to the parsha is through the haftarah the main story in the parsha itself of course is the story of the keta ego and in after we have a kind of a fixing flipping around with the story of the ego the story of elio bahara carmel seifere malachim alev when elio navi challenges ahavendi 450 neville bell and eliot tells benedict it's time to decide are you going to continue following the ways of the nivea hao bao or are you going to follow the ways of hashem the nivea about except the eliya navi challenge here at the top of hara carmel they attempt to bring a fire down from shamayim to burn the power of the ox that they chose they are not successful elio navi asks hashem to bring a fire down a fire comes down from shamayim burns the power that elio navi chose and then israel recognized proclaim hashem who hello that's the end of the half torah but if you keep on reading the next couple of sukkim then elio navi told renesal to take the nivea ball from near the top of hara carmel and go down to nagal kishon you're at the bottom of hara carmel and kill the nivea habal there we find in the yalquit a whole list of connections between moshirabeno at the time of and elio anovi at the time of hara carmel it's interesting to note an additional connection is bene israel went from harass sinai to the ego after harassing and here we have the order flipped around here we have elio navibhara carmel bringing beneath all to the point that they recognize hashem well kim and then the continuation of that the next paragraph test and say from elio navi leaves hara carmel and he heads down all the way down south to har sinai if events are flipped around the shlock writes that if nasa would not have been choked at the time hashem would have taken us directly from mahmud harsinai straight into eretz israel we would have then built the base based on mikdash bazaar through us removing any barriers between us and aka we should be zoha to see all of ammicho entering ere to show rebuilding the basa megashikara viameno have a wonderful shabbos [Music]
