The Late Parsha Show with Eli Weiss Featuring Fitche Benshimon! TZAV.

so it was delayed to the give us this box and receiving a box around this time made me think of matzah Muramasa so refuel your jets of faith and each more matzo get your sh more matzah today swara handmade matzah you can't have a compare the quality of handmade to mass machine made masses if you're going to do it do it right hi my name is fitzy Bensimon welcome to the late by 4 so this week's portion it's a passion stop this week's Torah portion you learn about sacrifices killing animals alright so let me just warn that this video is not for the faint-hearted this video is not for the faint-hearted if for whatever reason you have a pet cow or sheep or goat that you are very fond of and feel very attached to you might just want to stop watching the video actually don't because tour is the tour of truth and of sacrificing animals is one of the things that God requested we do for him that is because it is right and is moral us as human beings feel that we decide what's moral and we decide what's right and wrong when really it's God who does so but don't kill your pet cow that's not at all what no truth is though killing animals and reading them as sacrifices to God actually seems to counter so many of the tour of values not the least of which is that it involves taking a life away from a living being and from a cold and technical point of view why would God require us to get rid of good and valuable property that we own burn it up for no apparent benefit God obviously values life and the obviously values property is there's actually a mitzvah to not waste anything so how does this Mitz of sacrificing animals fall in place the answer lies in the fact that only the sacrifices from all other misses in the Torah are called pleasing to God what's up with that why are the sacrifices from all mitzvahs in the Torah the only Mitzvah which is called pleasing to God aren't all the mitzvahs pleasing 11th century Rossi's already a regular on the lake boxes over explains that what's so cool anything to God is the fact that we commanded this and we do it the fact that his will is being implemented there are a lot of mystical and allegorical explanations and reasons given for the sacrifices Arashi is giving us the most basic reason why it's so pleasing Tasha to God because what he wants done is getting done because he said something and his will is being implemented finally took all morning there are plenty of mitzvahs that we don't understand and we do them anyway but the sacrifices are something special a mitzvah like keeping kosher doesn't make sense to us but there's no reason why it shouldn't make sense it makes sense to us that there's a reason we just don't know we can even sort of have this ulterior motive that it's self-discipline is what I believe God wants me to do and this is what I'm gonna do regardless of whether or not I understand it by the sacrifices there's no such thing not only we don't understand it it totally doesn't make sense to us because it seems immoral it counters what we know to be right and good it contravenes logic and nevertheless it's through us lucky Jews that God's will gets implemented in the world and may it be God's will that mushiya his ultimate will come now [Music]
