Parshas Parah: Rav Asher Weiss Unlocks the Connection Between the Parah Adumah and the Korban Pesach

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay as we prepare for parashat shimini and parchas para and of course the umptif of pesach let my heart be wholesome in your statutes so i should not be embarrassed says let my heart be wholesome tamim what are these plural says the madrid [Laughter] why these two why these two lama shashnayam doi mim zeloza they're both similar to each other they both say the word for example look in number three impartial the positive says and of course we're going to lane the shabbos according to some president it might even be a mitsubishi torah so they're both called khukem so when david and alex says he wants his heart to be wholesome in the khukem the khukami refers this past shabbos i had the great honor and pleasure of eating the shabbat sudah with hagon revasher weiss one of the great poiskon today he's a plastic for shariatic hospital he's the head of the min and he told over for so remarkable story about all cans before please he told a remarkable story about his father who had passed away like three months before and he said he has many brothers many of them are mamish he has a brother who's i think uh chief rabbi montreal and he said over that um his father was like to this because after the war father risked his health and went around in an army jeep burying the bodies that were infested with typhus and he risked his health his life to bury the bodies of the kadosham and he was zoyja to and this was especially meaningful to me because i know uh my grandfather also was very involved in kuras bringing to us israel these but anyway at the table he set over an amazing dwarf torah that he said is printed in his haggadah i went to four stores on thursday could not find the haggadah but i was able uh to find somebody who had it and uh it's on your sheet and maybe we could add our own uh very beautiful okay so rabasha wise and this he said over at the shabbos table even he asked that it's rather strange that david amella is putting under one umbrella the hike of the para duma and the hike of the carbon pesach considering the fact that these two mitzvotics are the two most polar opposite mitsvice in the torah of the pesach well we know when it comes to paraduma it's the quintessential it has no rhyme or reason not only are you not allowed to ask a question you're not even allowed to think a question about the para duma rashi says in number six on the the rational meeting why is [Applause] [Music] the whole year what's special about well say there one of the answers is let's say there is not enough to remember you need to ask i mean that a jew needs to say no you need to ask everybody go around the table ask ask ask ask everybody ask the question even the tongue even the simpleton even he gets out the words so when it comes to para duma chamemos ain't rashes lahara you can't even think of kasha and by the time everybody around the table managed standard the whole the whole midst of super utilities with time is asking even the energy what about you have a kid who doesn't ask you feed him a question say how in the world without enough grouping together these two mitzvos the choice i'm exaggerating in the way it's asked but but it's kadai to exaggerate it that by by i i don't mean exaggerate i'm just emphasizing emphasizing the polar opposite nature of them by paradise he says what's the common denominator they got two crowns one for nasa and one finished question cesar vasher wise the gemara doesn't say they got one for nasa one for nishma you know why they they got the crowns because they were mocked in nasa well you don't have to be a mathematician to know that if you're getting a crown for every good thing you do how many good things did the jews do by being mocked they're nasty one they were maximum so one plus zero you could try it on the calgary if you don't have a calculator they have phones people have i'll let you take out your phone now by the way everybody could turn on the phone you could turn on the phone and you could put on the calculator as long as you turn it off afterwards and one plus zero equals one so then why did they get two crayons another kasha this is in the hakktoma of the pesach number three an amazing kasha but it's akasha we've already asked maybe at least two years ago on arashi rashi says you know at the end of the al-qaeda hashem comes to him he says [Music] i don't get you. let me explain myself yesterday you told me your future ladies and gentlemen then you were joined you tell me your future is the answer then you tell me to shake the assault now you tell me not to shut your son i never will desecrate my covenant i will never change my words when you told me take it i never changed my words i never told you ella you bring them up a sector you brought him up okay bring him down fracture about your wives but we're gonna see if this question proceeded contemporary uh poiskin if avraham had a problem with what god was telling him then when hashem said um didn't you tell me yesterday that uh i'm gonna be walk down my kid down to the huppah and my grandkid down to the what are you telling me if abramovino had a kasha he should have asked the cash show when hashem told him to shake the truck why is he waiting to when hashem tells him not to shakthi i mean if you have a son then the question should be when when emotion wants you to harm the son now when hashem says no no leave it alone now he's asking the kasha he should have asked well they sarah now when the star is over so happens to be reverse your wife says kasha number eleven lama hinton abram when he asked immediately i found this kash from the taz and previously also this cache is the kasha it happens to be at the table we're sitting around the table so i asked i took took the luxury of asking him the following question what is the job of a rub today what's the rub what are you supposed to do keep out of trouble no harm no question the triggers the questions what's the job of the right what's the primary job yeah keep it on the tape keep it on i'm just joking so he said like this this is an age-old question and they posed this question to three good idle that's why i mentioned it and to rev itself and they all gave three different answers the great paisa kadar said that the job of arab is the pas conchalus kashur the job of the rub is to teach torah londos torah and of course if it's earlier he was a big lamb and he wrote the zara yitzhak so raphael brisker said no java rub is not to be a poised sake and not to the job of the rub is to be avihin the father the father of the call and raphael was known for his legendary chesad when the town of brisk burned down did not sleep in his bed house was open people you'd had a neighbor sleeping in abraham's bed which i'm would sleep elsewhere so ravashivai said and who are we to stick our heads into this of all-time greats so he said um you got to do all of them okay i just mentioned to you guys didn't want to ask any questions you know why because then it would look like it was very difficult for him it was too hard in his eyes to shake the sun but now i'm saying adorable you don't have to shake him so now avraham aveeno was saying now i could have a legitimate question in other words without looking like i just don't want to be making that's eva um says more of a londish a way of answering this question and we'll see how russia wife says it over rokham says like this hashem is giving him correct but doesn't matter who knows what but he has a cash up question tell me now fine but how does avraham reconcile the fact that yesterday so why is he asking now whatever you want me to do why is it whatever you want fine so why is he asking he's asking akasha he's saying russia i don't get you you tell me give me usually then you tell me uh about layla and now you tell me [Music] so he's asking kasha so he asked him cassius ask at the right time be sure kenyan so if i'm says like this when hashem told them he was tarred by mitzvah he had no time to ask shilos but now shem said don't do anything sana ravino has a vacation day so now he has what are you doing on a day off you sit and learn what's up what's up with you right away after he told him he didn't have to right because uh that was his own volition to bring the carbon and he asked hashem to accept it listen to what i'm says he says this is more correct he says like this there was once the best stories are stories of hasidim and muslim right there was once a faucet and he answered him you must snag them the whole day you're visiting with kasha's this cash that kasha what's shad what's this what's that who are you asking cashes on we want to show them being you're busy asking cashes hello who who your cash is on god you're asking caches on god but the taurus says uh the tarsus is the way it is so what are you asking cashes says brisker really the custard was right but you need to know when you're allowed to ask akasha and when you're not allowed task and what are the guidelines for the guidelines you have to look at the price of rabbi shema in the price of ishmael we say snake suv is that means like this until you find the cost of actually she you're not allowed to ask akasha on snake supermarket [Music] tarsus this way this way this way that way all questions are off you can't ask until you have the answer of the cost of association once you have the third pass hook now the torah is saying i'm giving you an answer i'll give an answer let's try to ask the question and figure out how the answer answers the question the only reason says that we're allowed to ask questions on torah is because the torah was given that you should be mafeal and ask and try to understand and then the question becomes okay look at the torah now the question is not a challenge to god now when you try to understand twice this is kasha on the gemara that's taro that's what hashem wants if a question is legitimate the question is torah if the question is not legitimate the question is abhikarsas therefore when hashem came to abraham aveeno and he said and then the next day when hashem says because you don't understand something you're allowed to ask a question but now hashem comes with the third passage and the third pasta because you brought him up now bring him down irino says oh now there's a turret to the snakes now i'll ask the kasha what's up with sound possibly and let me understand how the third pasik answers the question that's how raphael explained why abrahavino originally did not ask the question because then it was and why now he asks the question comes with usher wise and i believe he's saying something pretty similar to the taz and pretty similar to rabbkayam and back to the original question why is david amella comparing the hookah of para duma in and carbon pesach not only in your if you don't ask you're not making the mistless i say the rise of superintendents and you don't know you feed him the question says reverse your wife the reason why groups these two hook them together is not because of their similarity it's because gufa they are polar opposites we're commanded to ask to darshan [Applause] [Music] well if somebody asked the casual we'll reward them we'll give them bazooka gum put it on put tell them to right already advertised advantage which he could trade them in for money right it's a well-known minogue right affilo even the time right david mello says the tongue the tongue should ask even the time in life there are times you can't ask questions like and there are times you're obligated to ask questions like pesach so what do you do says give my heart the tumimos and the perfection and the wholesomeness to know when to ask and when not to ask reference to karma passage and the paradigm in other words what wants to know is you need tamimos to know sometimes the question is wrong and sometimes the question is a mitsubs and the they're grouped they're both and what's the rule says rashford what's the rule when do we when are we supposed to ask when are we not supposed to ask this sounds like a very difficult achievement a very difficult madriga you're telling me sometimes you're not even allowed to think of the question sometimes you're obligated to ask well he says let's follow in the footsteps of avraham avino where avraham avinu in the beginning he didn't ask and at the end he asked why says rabbashaw as follows look in this paragraph and i think this is what rob khan is saying you see number 14 left hand side second paragraph de close man shaho yahoo when you have a mitzvah in front of you is that the time for for papoolium and shurim you have a mitsu don't ask any cashes but when the mitzvah's over and you're not gonna sue the last songs now you could be like very important in life if the question you have is to try to observe better it's a good question if the question is you know i'm not understanding i don't get this stuff maybe it's not for me that's the wrong time to ask when you have a mitzvah in front of you you just do it no questions asked when it's when the mitzvah is not in front of you you're entitled to ask that's the clown so yeah we learned the part of doom your lady escobar when the question brings to greater observance you ask when the question breathe brings to lax you don't ask yes yeah we'll see the gomorrah says they got how many crowns two crayons one for nasa and one for nishma and we asked one they only rewarded for being mocked him the mahadam was only one out one good deed says you ready what does nishma mean is understand we'll do and then we'll understand there's a major difference between trying to understand before you do something and trying to understand after you do something when you ask akasha before you do it what kind of cash is it what what is this in other words i'm not sure if i do it or should not do it you're not you're asking akasha of incredibility you're incredulous when you're asking after you do it is i want to understand i want to understand the mitzvah so when kaiser were mocked in the nasa to the nishma two things happened first of all they're willing to do it right away and number two they transform their nishma they transform their nishma from what is this to let me understand what this is whenever you ask ma because ma i guess nah right so in other words the nishma was transformed he says like this venera the kashmir magdee nasir nishma tarty israel there are two parts you're doing first that if that's the immediate action without any understanding and then the nishma after the nasa is the passage it's the rad sign lomi therefore they got two crowns one for the pesach one the desire to understand and one for the para the nasa we should do all the mixers related to the seder first and then we should talk about why we did it and understand it and this is in front of us why are we asking questions i hear so maybe i want to address that there's another piece that i saw in the haggadah also similar to this idea that fits in very well you know the gemara says in magilla valois from here darshan bikshu malachi hashem the malachi how do you see from here they wanted to say shira because we say by kadusa vicara here it says elsa that's it they wanted to say ashira hashem say no masayodayam everybody in their first cousin asks kaiser saying shira they saying why didn't hashem tell claudius [Music] they asked huh you're asking you can't do it claustro never asked they spontaneously sang shira if you say shira as a spontaneous expression of your joy so we're not going to hold you accountable yes the myths from our are are dying but you couldn't contain yourself you're just bursting forth with shiro but now you're asking you're asking hashem with an intellectual shiloh is it the right thing for us sasham says you obviously don't feel the shiro so much that you just burst forth with shira you don't feel that you're asking the answer is no you can't sing sure it's like pink we do too much it's like kanon pokemon right it's like um it's also interesting aspect of asking you know asking is different asking is a different type of thing well beneath what were saying they had what to sing about the molokan were never in danger the gemara doesn't say that though okay don't tell you a story it's a story that's well known but here it's actually documented where it occurred where it happened the ravager white writes that he heard from the gareba the leif simcha who heard from his father the imayamas something that happened in the court of the sasemas this is a famous story but we're going to say it the way the way exactly the way it's reported over here and that is when you say in halal hashem you could accomplish with that fill more than any other feel in the whole time it's a well-known thing the sasama says when you say in halal hashem you could accomplish you could the words are absolutely so the next day after hallow a big macho kiss broke out in the gara based matters between the zika halloween it's when you say ona hashem the hello they're both wrong okay that's not what my father said it's not when you say no it's not when you say it's when you say hashem famous story what's the meaning of this why is the most opportune time in davoning when you say the word hashem like this you say in the shabbos morning i why do you get a crown i want to get a crown actually do i want to get a crown what does a crown do for me it'll be hard to give sheer a wearing crown that would attract a lot of attention maybe we'll get more hits but what's the indian moisture binocular got a crown it says when a person is an aved who are they inevitable it's an evidence in other words the more you make yourself an evide and your hashem what does a crown represent hashem says you make me a melech i make you a melee me i make you a mella you want to accomplish in this world you want to have shlita power you want your words to carry weight you want your brachos to have meaning you make me was the quintessential ever hashem right what is the plastic said moisha [Music] because the highest madrigal doing something is what everybody knows so much who made himself in heaven hashem raised him up to the heavens and he made him a melech in the greatest way well halal on yamtif and the highest possible way for god to raise a person up is what make him a mela so when you say and hollow the words some raises you up to shamayim he makes you a malef that's why the most opportune time in the halal is when you say when you declare basim hashem you are my melech says assassins you could be piled varmin the mail says of ashwais now we understand the two crowns that claudius got on harcina and this fits he doesn't make the connection but it fits beautifully into his understanding of the two crowns of nasa nishma the crown of nasa is the crown of the in what way do we declare that we're hashem and hashems when we're able to surrender our safal and say you know what no caches so when claudius said nasa nishma what were they saying we are your avodah said oh i'm your mela two crowns you're a melafosa makes sense that he should get a crown and that's why claudio got crowns on har sinai as well so let's just add one two small ideas no no don't go anywhere nothing will happen good it's good to know this dude says we want to say like this [Music] every year the hakutama to the yum tuf of pesach is parasha's para why is pasha's para hakdama to yams it's all about kashas that's the homicide right everybody has to ask the manistana ever you don't have akasha i will feed you the kasha but you have to have a hakama the hakdama to be able to ask questions is that you can't ask questions yeah you know what you can ask when you're able to have rich madriga then ultimately para duma you have a parasite now we're ready for partial sachoiders now that's the preparation for the umpta for pesach all the questions have to be based on the principle that ultimately gaze once you have that you saw it like avraham avinu ahmavino in the beginning there are no casuals don't ask anything when you have tarot sim right somebody once came over there there was once an happy kairas he came to the brisker he came to him said no you don't have kashans you have te rutzim for all of your your behavior you have answers for and justifications and rationalizations in other words you have to know what what akash is is it a kasha or is it a terrorist so you know when it's akasha it's only a legitimate kasha zoisa we understand that we have the ability to surrender our safe hands render our minds now we're ready for manish interestingly i just uh also thought you know they just started mishna yoimasan wednesday they started uh two mishnais today so the first mission on shas masai karnashma is he was always the first one in shul so i need to connect him either he's rewarded he gets to be the first one in sha's night he says like this there's a madrish para that says shabbat went up to shamayim he saw somebody was darshaning rebellion came from by the way the matter says what was he learning why did mashraf why was it so important to myself that he should be mispowered that this individual rabbi kivo he was doris ramosa says i want this man he he i want him to come from me this is the type of uh you have to have the torah and that maybe that's why we're blessed that's why he's the first hannah in chas why so the night of this says to give kawaii to myshrabenu but maybe we could say because since the whole reason mushra being wanted rebbe lesser to be from zero is because of the concept of para duma of tumimos the mela we start shasta we start mishnayas with the tana rabbi leather who understood this idea of para dumas gazer himalafanai kharashos
