Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: Kabbalistic Secrets of the Red Heifer

[Music] welcome everyone to the i m welcome home to Torah with a warm oh a past po a post Corona hug we wish we could Embrace everybody warmly but we'll do the best we can verbally and uh with a with a great smile so tonight is parat and I began to give this class like two years ago and I never got through all the information it's just so rich and deep and fundamental I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try again and get through six pages of of just delicious information we're talking about the red heer the par aduma and as we will see that it was privy it was a secret to almost every human being that roam the earth except for one that would be Moser Renu according to the clear number one and number two the clear is going to give us some deep insights that you may never have heard before at least you've heard all this information but not tied together right some of the things that we're going to reveal to you you already know but you never heard it in this fashion so I beg you I'm not really begging you I'm I'm I'm I'm it's for your benefit okay to stay awake until the end okay so let's begin like this in Chapter 19 Verse it's really verse two but we have to read verse one because it says laymore in verse one and laymore we're going to see what it means the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron laymore saying what's the next verse this is the statute of the Torah which the Lord commanded Layar saying why is it say lay more twice let's hear in the Hebrew okay laymore means to say over so what is it that Moses and must say over to the Jewish people this is the statute of the Torah which God actually commanded to say this is crazy that Moses and Aaron are obligated to tell over something and what is it this line This is the statute of the Torah which the Lord commanded again the word laymore now they have to say over again something else so it's very interesting because you don't find the word laymore twice in almost any other place there may be one or two exceptions but they also have meaning and the meaning here if you stay tuned you will find out what do you have to bring speak to the children of Israel and have them take for you taking for Moshe it's mosha needs it a perfectly Red unblemished Cow which which upon which no yoke uh was laid so the Hebrew is right speak to the children of Israel they shall take for you this cow fine let's look at the CLE and he begins by focusing on this idea that Layar is said twice and he wants to know why and he he strengthens the question just by letting us know if you look back at verse one it says as we said El mosha theore so he begins by telling us rashi rashi says because the nations of the world the umos are going to mock or taunt the Jewish people by saying what is this commandment what purpose does it have because we have to understand the difference between a mishpat and a h and this is the hul of all HS what's the difference between a mishpat and a h a mishpat is basically a a mostly a civil law a law that has to do with obvious and reasonable logical Justice a has more religious meaning let's say it has metaphysical meaning there are meanings that are attached to them but it basically let's give an example shess right don't make a garment of wool and linen you're going to wear right or maybe right different religious uh objects or Mitzvah that don't have a purely logical or it's not based on logic okay so this this Torah is basically that and since the H the meaning was hidden especially before schlomo King Solomon who is the wisest man of the of them all the right and we're going to see here he even said couldn't grasp it so what do we expect from them they're not going to understand it either therefore the Torah actually uses the word statute to tell I have decreet it me who's I Hashem so we're going to see how the word hul and or the word Torah let's say the word Torah and the word King are going to be interchangeable because it was God who decreed it where does theim come from it comes directly from God just like the Torah comes comes directly from God the second part of that Rashi is going to become very important although we won't really understand it but anybody who's read this Rashi and never thought twice tonight is the night to think twice because it says it will always be called on your name meaning the cow which Moses prepared in the desert you looked at me what do you mean I never heard Mo I heard Moses has a Torah I heard Moses has a people right Amo or the Torah mosha but right Israel's considered his people the Torah has his name on it but since when does this cow the paruma have Moses name stamped what is it stamped like The Branding on the back on the hind of the cow can't do that anyway right we know that but so what does that Rashi mean we're going to investigate this tonight and um we'll continue now in the actual clear so basically he says this is what the Torah is teaching you ready when when God told Moses to say over to the Jewish people this statement that this is the hookah of the Torah that in Proverbs 265 you will find that and number two on the sore sheet do not answer a fool according to his folly lest even you become like him I mean there's a lot of fake news out there a lot of crazy stuff going on be very care careful only use the Torah as your basis for really finding the truth but anyway the rest of the verse says answer a fool according to his folly lest he be wise in his own eyes in his sight as it says in Hebrew in the last part anal answer a fool according to his foolishness lest he walk away from a discussion thinking he's right and allowing him just to continue in his in his F Folly at least you can try your best to set him straight what does Rashi say on that do not answer a fool with words of quarrel and contention lest you become like him you have to answer with wisdom answer a fool who comes to win you over to idolatry God forbid let him know his folly lest he be wise in his sight that the meaning of these two verses is explained in the verses themselves do not answer in a matter in which you will become like him if you answer him but rather answer a fool in a matter in which he will be wise in his sight if you do not answer him meaning don't do that make sure right answer a fool in a matter this is what you should not do all right don't answer the fool okay in a matter which he will be wise in his sight if you do not answer him if you do not answer him he will think that he is correct and walk away thinking he is correct okay so what is the clear why is this so important because if you don't give him the right answer the he will consider the entire Torah foolishness fake news and he'll ascribe falseness to it and therefore there's no value right you want to give over a good answer now you can always I'm going to tell you you can always say I'll get back to you right you can always do that because if you have nothing to say except foolishness better not say anything right so the best thing is to do is to if you don't know say you don't know and you will get back to him okay and that's why it says which God commanded saying meaning that you need to answer to to the mocker who is mocking you this is what you say right that's what we say after the first lame this is Theus of the Torah this is the statute of the Torah meaning to say it's the statue of the king I just love the Hebrew God's name is right is on the on theim and we have no R this is a famous statement about theim we and then Rashi mentioned that we don't really have any right to question obviously anything of mish we ask and we we tear it apart and we try to understand every piece of it but when it comes to the we can only go so far okay so once you go so far you don't you can't really question it like Rashi explains and that's what it means the Torah is actually telling you the language the version the verbage you should use El malig to the heretic who is mocking you that's why it says those this is the statute of the Torah you know what it doesn't say it doesn't say this is the statute of the cow which you would have expected it to say it says all over the Torah this is the law of this this is the law of that there's only one other place where it says Those Who T all other places this is the law of this the Ola of this or that but it doesn't say this is the law of the cow and the reason is the reason is because this is the exact terminology that God wants you Moses right that God wants you to answer those who are mocking the Jewish people this is what you say to them that what it's the it's the decree of the king blessed be his name why because the word Torah and the word King are interchangeable I'm just reading the words you you want to understand what it means he goes on and says why is it that the word Torah and the word King interchangeable because where does the Torah emanate from The King The King The King of Kings sh so they will not say because they could possibly say look I get your nice laws right don't jwalk don't go through red lights right don't steal right don't murder I get it but when it comes to this this is all superstitious this is Hocus Pocus this is witchcraft no they'll understand but that what that it's part and included in all the mitzah of the Torah but we're not finished this is one of the statements that I believe the Torah is telling us and I know there are B no watching this that they have every right every right to try to understand this book the Torah then they have every right in fact what it sounds like they're obligated listen to this in you can find that in Deuteronomy chap 4:6 this is talking to the Jewish people us you shall keep them and do them right why because it is your wisdom and your understanding in the eyes of the non-jews in the eyes of the Nations which listen which hear and we know what the word schma means just hearing no really understanding is it doesn't mean hear isra or listen isra it means understand okay understand what which will understand which the non-jews right the Nations they will understand all it says all of theim of these the theu and what will they say when they understand them they will say Ro they will say only this great nation is wise and understanding what kind of people are these These are the Jews they are wise in understanding and look at Rashi so what does it mean to keep them that's that's for study what about um um to be interpreted according to its apparent meaning for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the eyes of the people through this you will be considered wise and understand standing in the eyes of the people now at this point where are we standing we saw Rashi and Rashi told us they're going to mock us they're going to say you're fools correct by just looking at the paruma and yet there's a PK straight up black and white in the Torah that says they will see what we do and they'll think that we're actually wise what's going to be the difference the word all all once they learn all they'll see the truth if they only look at a partial picture and they only look at the paruma they will think we're absolute fools listen to his words listen to the clear it's amazing what he says so he just brought the verse in chapter 4: 6 in Deuteronomy but thean mmaa right we all know what the word ad it's a good word to know quite the opposite what we said here so far in h Torah right about the paruma that it's quite the opposite that they're going to mock us about theim so the answer is there are I have to read it in Hebrew but I I'll try my best there are there are types of that a person is actually able to grasp and understand understand their meaning except for aside from parts of some of the reasons which are totally uh sealed off from the masses and they are and they those secrets are revealed only to Unique Individuals of each generation however when it comes to the it seems like it's sealed off the secrets are unknown to every human being because we know by King Solomon schom Shalom peace be upon him he was able to understand everything except for whatever it is that had to do with this most secret understanding of the paruma he talked to the animals he knew the language of the animals it says in Calis which is Ecclesiastes am I right chapter 7: 23 and but it was far from me you really have to see the whole thing because I did bring it down if you guys want to look at it on your own I want I don't want to spend too much time on it but if you look um cuz I quoted verse 23 24 and 25 in 25 he does mention something here I don't know where the can begin and end but I turned about with my heart to know and to search out and to seek wisdom so look in the Rashi and again I turned about to know and to search out and to seek the wisdom of the passage of the red heer as well as to know the end of days okay so the secrets of the paruma were not known even to King Solomon I thought he know no no no that's what we just got done saying mosha I mentioned that mosha knew but King Solomon himself did not that's what it means when it says but it was far from me the Hebrew is and we just got done reading the other Rashi on I think it was verse 25 which says I I again I turned about meaning I saw it out but he never he never he never grasped it you understand okay so now he says therefore what happens this is the CLE it's so amazing for the non-jews okay the umos they hear meaning they try to understand only the only the law or statute about the paruma for sure they're going to mock us and that's why it says remember in Deuteronomy 4:6 it says all that verse was the one where they praised us and understood that we were wise where do they mock us if they only were looking at this particular hook why why does it say Co they actually heard or tried to understand and maybe understood all theim now I'm not saying it made total sense to them but at least they they made the effort and it probably resonated there are that do have revealed reasons then they would they would basically testify whatever you know is going to testify and Proclaim also on that which you don't know how does it how does it do that you're looking at me okay so when you I'm not talking about Blind Faith and I'm not talking about leap of faith but when you have a system let's say there's a system of justice you're not a law professor and everything you looked into this system of justice seems w wow fascinating and the best type of system so even those few laws that are Beyond you whether it's the the language the vocabulary the meaning behind it you will accept that's probably also just you follow what I'm saying now so basically having a a good understanding of this book called the Torah a basically good understanding of it you know that it's just and you know that it's true you'll accept the few little uh CRS s that make no sense whatsoever like this I'm not going to call it a crumb like this like this Mish like this one particular detail you'll accept it as part of the package the package is so rich and nourishing for your soul and for society that you know that even that which you don't understand is totally acceptable even though you don't get it I think that's what he's saying because this particular has a secret and you know what you're going to chalk it up to you know what you're going to hang it on you're going to say it's me who doesn't have the ability to grasp it right you can sit and learn law all day long and everything you get and one one thing you don't get but you know these were wise people who were involved here we're talking about hasem himself but here you know that the people that that wrote it were full of integrity and um and were wise so when you don't understand something what's the proper I'm going to use I think it's proper it sounds normal that you should come to the conclusion I need to study more right the reason I don't get it is because there's something lacking within me as opposed to ah I just throw the whole thing out since that one little thing I can't understand or it doesn't sit right with me I'll just what do you call it throwing the baby out with the bath water you ever heard that expression perhaps okay so that's the first paragraph So the the clear Contin continues remember how we saw that Rashi it was Moses's cow wait till you hear this wait till you hear this Rashi says what does that mean always it's going to be called by your name hello what in the world is so great what is so dear and great that this cow was given over to Moses is going to be called by his name so the CLE car Begins by explaining the COV L listen closely listen to what I have to say that a concept of a Mitzvah any Mitzvah is usually going to be called on the name of the person that finishes it so I have an I mean I have an idea also a war who finishes the war who actually wins the war right like The Six Day War it's like the Israeli conflict we right we won right when you have a winner of a war that's how the war is going to be called by the winner here we're talking about a Mitzvah so if a bunch of people started Mitzvah but one particular person finishes it or vice versa it's going to be called on the name of the people that finish it so look at this piece of gamarra let's find it it's in um so 13B am I right so listen to these two verses in Exodus 13:19 it actually says that Moses took the bones of yoseph with him and we know that Moses is the one that took them out of Egypt correct he's the one who took him out of Egypt who brought him into Israel the Jewish people Joshua did so look in Joshua 24:32 and you know what it says over there it's says in the bones of ysep which the children of Israel I would expect it to say brought into EGP brought into Israel the children of Israel brought the bones of ysep into Israel it doesn't look at the verse it says the bones of ysep which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt they didn't bring him up out of Egypt they brought him into Israel Moses brought him up out of Egypt so the answer the gorah brings even though you see a contradiction says who in fact took Joseph's bones R the son of said anyone who performs a matter but does not complete it and then another comes and completes it the verse ascribes a credit to the one who completed it as if he performed the entire act that's what it says you understand the principle it's the way the Torah describes it and it probably we do as well okay so that's the first part just to get the principle so we're going to now compare the that Moses finished the product called the paruma remember we asked how is it called by Moses's name listen carefully so kazal tell us in the medish that the paruma atones for the sin of the golden calf and this is a famous thing that you've all heard these words that the mother comes and cleans up the feces the dirt of her child so too what Moses did he began the kapar process he began the um what did he do he he burnt this AEL zah he burnt the golden calf and he grounded up very finely so too yarar so too God gave him a chance he started it and he finished the job remember the word says they're going to bring it to you right speak to the children of Israel and have them take for you this cow this uh paruma we're going to have to find the relationship between the eah between the golden calf and the paruma so I'm telling you if you already know these ideas we're going to go deeper than you've ever gone before okay what that that Star Trek we're going to places we're going to uh parts of the universe that you have that have never been explored me mean by you obviously by others just as most Moes began the atonement process when he burnt the agle and he grounded up very finely into uh dirt into into ashes so too he finishes the kapar so too it will be called by his name so we have to see ready for this the reason for the matter is Asal describes in the medish that when Moses heard now this is I'm not going to go deep into this but Moses when he went up to to um receive the Torah he saw the future he saw all the arguments that we ever had in the gamorra meaning the principles he heard and perhaps even the details I should say of who said what and he heard in the name of RAB elzar you can find this in um number six in the mishna in parad Duma where it says a in the name of rezar that a paruma has to be over a year old but less than two years that's called B sh means it's more than no when you reach one year in one day you're in your second year of Life correct okay so let's use those terms it has to be in its second year of life and what about an UA what's an UA just a short very short synopsis if God forbid a corpse is found between two cities and we don't know um there's no M we don't want we don't know who committed this crime so the Elders of the two cities that are closest come after measuring it and then the the ones who are the closest take responsibility perhaps because they did not escort the person to safety or show him the the route that he needed to go this is a very deep concept I I will tell you now just quickly that if God forbid someone is in such a position where they were probably killed eaten M mold by wild animals or by humans I know this is this is metaphysical okay that when you leave this when you leave someone's home and you don't know where you're going or you don't have the confidence of where you're going that stays with you you know if you saw a dog or a bear and you stared it down I'm I'm not I'm not telling anybody to do this okay but there's a good chance that it might stop right and not Maul you right but if you run away or you have fear within you they smell it and you know what so do human beings robbers they know who is vulnerable and who's easy prey and who might fight back and who has confidence so when you walk someone home and you walk someone out of your house walk them a little bit like your your presence is with them and they feel your presence with them until they arrive home now that could mean you're going to give them proper dire directions it means that when they get to a certain point you just point them the right way and they're on their way but you being there escorting them will add to like I'm not saying it adds to their soul but it adds to their level of security in hasem by another human being showing that they care okay so we can talk about that another time I want to get back to this idea that this particular calf whose neck is broken in this ritual when the Elders of the city say that our hands have no blood we did not shed this blood so this is a special type of I call a service a ritual and that's what reab elzar was talking about we call an egala an egua It has to be less than a year old but sh means in its first year of life and when Moses saw this in heaven when he went up to receive the Torah he said a prayer that this particular r by he hoped that he would come from his loins and happens to be that he was a Ley R elzar was a Ley so as it says in Exodus 18:4 when Moses names one of his child which happened to have been before this the receiving of the Torah nevertheless one of his kids he did name elezar now what does elezar mean and the one this is number seven 184 and one who was named elezar because Moses said the god of my father came to my Aid and rescued me from Pharaoh's sword so this is going to come in play shortly El okay so what did Moses see what what what did he see that he desired so much that what that this particular law should come from somebody who comes from his loin remember we asked why is this cow called The Cow of mosha he saw something in this law by rebi elezar that he desired the rabbi the one who who um put this law out into the world explain this law should come from his loins more than any other law in other words there's so many laws how many laws do we have hundreds of thousands of details of laws and this was the law that he wanted to his progeny to bring into the world and from all the rabbis that ever existed why I'll tell you why this is an amazing concept it was the actual AEL was it was the golden calf that Moses gave his life for us for do you remember God wanted to wipe us out out totally he wanted to do away with the Jewish people after the sin of the golden calf and Moses is the one who said I will take their place remember that wipe me out if you're going to wipe them out wipe me out go God would God wanted to start a whole new nation with Moses Moses in God's eyes was equal to all the Jewish people and he was willing to give over his life that that shouldn't happen that the so we owe our life to him but just think now the connection between the agel the calf the golden calf Moses's willingness to give his life then he's the one who's involved in the beginning stages and the end stages of what we call the paruma the this this red heer and we also made the connection that what so we saw the connection between this medish that says it's like the mother who's coming to clean up for her son right you had this made in the Palace of the king and she brings her kid for the day for daycare because there's Corona or something right so the kid makes a mess in the palace who's going to clean it up of course the mother's going to clean it up so it's like Moses is the mother cleaning up for the Jewish people in this case we're actually saying the the paruma the mother she's the mother she's more than a year old is cleaning up for the agel Which is less than a year old the agle meaning the definition of an agle and we're talking about the agav the golden calf so that's the comparison that we need to concentrate on and he says like this look in 32:32 of Exodus Moses himself says so that you find in number eight right and now if you forgive their sin that would be great but if not Erase Me Now from your book which you have written which is in Hebrew why is that important that the book and the people of Israel are called by his name I think he's talking about the people because it says Shar we we're going to see later that the book is called the Torah of Moses but the people are called the people of Moses look in Isaiah 63:1 and his people remember the days of old the days of Moses so in Hebrew we are called the people of Moses that's for sure therefore he wanted that also theuma this red cow this red C the red cow should be from the very beginning until the the very end called by his name because the power this par its reason is it's reason what's the reason for the paruma ultimately it's because of idol worship again it's the mother that's coming to clean up for her son what's her son the golden calf which is idol worship but not only that so too also the UA during the sin of what we call the golden calf there's another place say we sinned in all three we did idol worship we did um we did murder and we performed uh in illicit sexual relations not going into that he brings down two that we also besides ID worship were involved in murder when I say we I'm talking about the Jewish people because who did they kill I know you heard everything I'm saying you guys have heard before but he's putting it all together in such a nice way so basically you have both remember we talked about the UA and that is atoning for sin I'm the sin of murder and the the the paruma is atoning for um idol worship so here in this case when we were actually involved in the Sin of the golden C we actually performed both these sins so he just mentioned what I just said in in the act of the sin of the golden calf we also transgressed murder that's why it says the again that verse that says that the paruma should be taken to you Moses it should be taken to Moses in order that the finishing of this Mitzvah of the paruma should also be called on his name so now only from the very beginning throughout as we already mentioned now why this is going to because it says T and we said it doesn't say it says this is the statute of the Torah and it doesn't say this is the statute of the cow what do we hear that the Torah and the cow are one idea one idea not one thing God forbid right obviously not but we will see that both purify so it's one concept both purify this is the goal of the Torah this is the goal of the parad so too the Torah itself is called the Torah of Moses as it says in Mali that's Malachi for all those who don't understand the word I'm saying CH 3:22 remember keep in remembrance the teaching of Moses what is it says in Hebrew Tas mosha it's we call it the Torah of Moses I'm sorry let me just read the whole verse my servant um keep in remembrance the teaching of Moses my servant the laws and ordinances which I command him commanded him for all of Israel just you should know in Hebrew okay so too the par is also called right we already established that the par is called by his name and he wants to tell us the reason is the same the same for both of them that this is a little bit deep but we're going to do some numbers but it's real simple just remember the number seven and 7even time so because with 50 Gates of wisdom or understanding that the world was created now that's Hashem Hashem has all 50 all of them were handed over to Moses except for one not we're not talking about the parad we're talking about out of the 50 Gates of wisdom Moses got 49 you can find this in uh nadarim 38 a if you want to see where it says it okay how do we know Moses was very wealthy right our leader should be wealthy but he he when he chipped away at these I call him Sapphire special rocks that the Ten Commandments were written on God told him that he can keep the the chips can you just imagine the wealth that those chips forget about the sentimental value the actual value right sapphire stone of sorts okay from which it was derived you can find right that's in Exodus 341 the waste of the tablets of the Covenant shall be yours okay that's what it means H that the waist consisted of precious stones Moses was wise how do you know so R SCH and the statement of Ren schm who both say they both agree 15 measures of understanding were created in the world all were given to Moses except one you can find in Psalms 8:6 yet you have deprived him of little of God meaning he basically had almost everything he lacked only the absolute complete knowledge of God Moses was humble okay so what does that mean he knew about the the the paduma because it only certain little aspect of God he didn't have full comprehension that through the okay this is going to be a little bit of a tongue twister but we'll try our best it's through the meet meet is 49 pame that through the 49 levels of understanding that Moses was was able to grasp he could then enter into the the secrets of God in order to expound the Torah in 49 ways this way and 49 ways that way meaning anything that is considered permissible he could explain in meaning each detail he can explain the same detail 49 ways in a permissible fashion 49 ways in a forbidden fashion or a purified fashion or an imp purified fashion and anybody sitting on the Sanhedrin could actually do the same thing in order to get on the Sanhedrin they would put a Sher in front of you right the Sher I don't know what exactly type of animal but try to imagine it's either a a rat or a weasel or somewhere in between okay something that is considered impure it's certainly not Kosher and it actually imparts Tuma guess what to sit on the San hedin you would have to be able to explain 49 ways that this is a kosher animal or it doesn't impart impurity and 49 ways that it imparts impurity now listen to these words it's in Mish that's Proverbs 2:4 this is talking about wisdom if you seek it like silver and hunt it like Treasures okay you desire it like silver now this word focus on the word you have to look at it inside what's the word and like me like 49 moaning moaning means to count but it's plural like you count twice so 49 is 7 * 7 and you're going to count it twice meaning you're going to desire to understand the Torah on the level where you will be able to explain everything in 49 ways to the side and 49 ways to the other side now if you think I'm making all this up listen to this so we see the wordan so if you look in Psalms 12:7 the sayings of the Lord are pure sayings in Hebrew imem right the lay the sayings of the Lord are pure sayings like silver refined in Hebrew and it's it's exposed to the Earth M now shiv we know what it means it means Sevenfold Sevenfold means 7even time 7 which basically means 49 okay so the sayings of the Lord are pure sayings like silver refined exposed to the Earth clarified 49 ways okay so rebi Kanan bar happens to be that REI Kanan the son of Pap he interpreted and he explained this idea between behind the the the paruma that there is in it 7 * 7 now if you look in so look Ina number 16 this is the ordinance of the Torah the sayings of God are purean Bena elus the verse of the Psalms Psalms I mentioned is 12:7 and that it says has seven seven sevens there are seven time sevens they're mentioned seven cows seven fires seven sprinkling seven washes seven times unclean is used seven times pure is used and seven Kim seven times priests are used now the truth is let me just read it in the Hebrew here it says like this there are find there 7 * 7 seven cows seven sprinklings seven burning seven Washings seven impurities seven times uh purities and then seven times kimer used but guess what I actually went and counted it before I read this and I came to the same conclusion that gamorra did that's not true five of them are 7 time 7 the other two are missing a few and it says fill in the names Aon and Moshe wherever those those are missing and you will complete because they were basically the Kim they basically complete the number to a full 49 7 * 7 and that's what the gamor actually says okay so if someone would count them like I did and said hey they're missing you know you sat even Moses and Aon are included and that's the end of the fine if you carefully examine what comes out from this number what do we care what's the Practical difference right or as we say now when Iron's ever around what does that have to do with the price of te in China okay so when you actually care look at the verse carefully it says it's clarified seven times seven so actually with absolute certainty the the the author of this medish wanted to give a good reason why it says in a different medish in a different Med it says right the it takes our verse they shall take to you Moses this par what does it mean this is what God is telling Moses to you and you alone I'm going to reveal the secret but to others it will remain aul it will remain a mystery so why is it remain a mystery to everyone else because since it has 7 * 7 or the 49 this hints that what that the only way to understand it is if you is only if you were able to understand all all 49 levels and that was only revealed to mosu as the Torah said as we saw earlier that he received just short of 50 he received the full 40 that's why it remained a to everybody including schlomo but not to mosha I know you thought and I always thought even mosha was included according to the CLE card the way he understands it is that Moshe absolutely knew and the Balada that writes in the book he brings a medish and he says you do do you know the mother of schlomo right SCH loo H King Solomon everyone knows what his mother's name is Beva her name is Bev the daughter of seven now what does the mother do to the son she controls him she she is the authority of the son so he goes okay you have to hang in there MIT that's what she's called she's called Beva and he explains in this what is quite obvious which I will tell you like this just as the mother has the authority controls the the child so too the par this cow this red heer is actually somehow controlled all of his wisdom all of King Solomon's wisdom because he wasn't able to he wasn't able to delve so deeply and understand the SE Secrets right in other words it had control over him he desired it and couldn't get there he didn't it the opposite in other words he didn't have control over it it had control over him you follow because if you understand something you make a kinion you acquire it and it's yours but if it's beyond you then it rules you so basically he says this resolves the fact that it does not say Torah except in one other place I mentioned there's one other place do you know where that is in in pares Matos and that's dealing with what the purification process of of vessels that you take as schl as booty in war remember they belong to non-jews they most likely were of course they were you they weren't vegetarians right they most likely had non- kosher uh ingredients so in right you have to bring your vessel not only to purify them to make them kosher but they also have to go to the Mikvah they have to be purified why this is going to be the Crux of what we're going to be discussing from this point on because the purification process of the paruma is let's just say overreaching and all inclusive and that is n it is either we call compared we're going to compare that to the torah's ability to be overreaching in it all its ways through whatever all the wisdom that's hidden in it just like all the wisdom is hidden in this paruma the seven time 7even so too the Torah has all this hidden wisdom in it and they both act as purifiers do you understand now we're going to begin to discuss about the purification process itself and how it works okay so for bity sake I'm going to now attempt just to use the English in other words you can follow in Hebrew as best you can um I will only refer to the Hebrew if I get a little confused with a translation but now we're at the paruma tamima meaning a perfectly red unblemished cow and this was compared to a child a son of a uh some who cleans cleans up that that the the child made a very uh disastrous uh dirty area in the house of the king in the palace so what we've already said was that the mother comes to clean up the feces of her son you've heard this already why listen to these ideas that if anybody ever wants to get rid of the cancer anybody wants to get rid of a a a bad growth something that is destructive so it's not enough just to cut off the branches of a tree you let's talk about a cancerous tree right you want to just cut off the diseased branches that's not going to help the tree survive because the whole time that it's still in in the ground the the main bra the main what do you call trunk so um k there's this idea that it's not going to really get rid of the disease because it's it's enrooted with like this gal and these are different types of diseases on trees that he mentions because in the end it's just going to grow back the way to get rid of this diseased trees to get rid of its main trunk and The Roots okay but to get rid of The Roots if you actually get rid of the roots then the bad branches as well come away so in other words if all you're trying to do is get rid of the cancer by cutting the branches it ain't going to do nothing okay it's not going to work you want to get rid of the cancer you got to get rid of the actual tree itself you have to uproot it and then as a result the branches will also come the disease branches will also be taken care of looking in Amo you'll find this in number 18 Amos 2 verse 9 right and I destroyed the amorites from before them whose height is as the height of the cedar trees and they are as strong as Oaks and I destroyed his fruits from above and his roots from below you want to get rid of the cancer you got to go into the roots down below so basic basically it's like this it's not enough to get rid of the fruit from above but you got to get into the roots that's why it say that if you want to get rid of ID worship you need to get into the root meaning to say you need to investigate and find out the actual reason for the cause of the Ida worship because it's actually the cause itself that is that is deep in the roots that causing that's causing all those bad fruits right so once you get rid of the original reason the the root cause then all the fruits all the uh the resultants will fall to the Wayside so you want to get rid of a disease you got to go for the cause not just treat the symptoms so the real cause is compared to the mother that gave birth to the the child which in our case we talking about the paruma is the mother as opposed to the the golden calf the golden calf is not the root okay what's the real root the mother which is the parad Duma now I have to tell you and you guys have heard this before I was new in Israel and I heard there was a candidate for a paruma a paruma has to have all red hair and has to be less than 2 years old anyway so what happened was I went up to K I went on a field trip I brought my kids we went all the way to um kired ATA and there was a fence area and on top of the hill was a was this young calf that they told us we're not going to go around it we're not going to touch it it was guarded was a paruma and it was late in the afternoon and the sun was reflecting off this red cow it was red meaning it was um it was a brownish red but the way the sun was hitting the hair I'm telling you it was like gold it was so red flashy red and it was like gold so this is the idea here that what it's all going to be related to gold gold is right let's say too much wealth is going to be the source of the downfall I know that there's a lot of wealth he Jews but it's what you do with it okay if you're using it to serve God if you're using it is to to help people you're using it for Mitzvah okay and you're donating the money whatever it is of course you can live a good life but if you're using it for good and not for bad that's very important so basically listen to these words that's why God commanded what the burning of the paruma right you burn it and it becomes what like blackish Ash what you're you're burning the mother of the ego you're burning the par which is the mother of the calf in order to what to teach you this important law that you must uproot the idol worship meaning you have to go after the root and then you won't fall back into the foolishness and that's why it says in par ktis so over there in Kisa which is where the golden calf takes place in the that it's explained over there the main reason was because of all the gold we brought with us out of Egypt it had such right God had such uh love and Providence and uh Prosperity he gave to us but guess what at the same time that was our downfall right God constantly warns us don't forget you're going to be prosperous and you God forbid you forget you have to constantly remember look in uh tomed Bley 32A why does it say the zah that's talking about one of the the places that the Jews were in the desert so the sages of the school of RAB Yan said that Moses said the following can you imagine Moses says this to God regarding atoning for Israel after the sin of the golden calf he says Master of the Universe because of the gold and silver that you lavished upon Israel during The Exodus from Egypt until they said die enough in other words it's a PL the words DAV enough gold it was with this wealth that caused Israel to make the golden calf so Moses in our defense was trying to say that if we didn't have all that gold it probably never would have happened partially God you should take some responsibility for the Jews fall because they had all this wealth okay so basically what are you doing when you're burning it the what is gold since gold is it's very red the gold has a reddish tinge and um and and it's brought about right they came to do this action with the golden calf therefore you're going to take this paruma the red heer and burn it and get rid of the color red by burning it there's no longer any red okay maybe through forensic science they can discover what the original color was but in most cases when you look at Ash you have no remnants of the original color and the in other words it was almost like a promise or a warning don't acquire too much of this thing called gold then you won't come to making a golden calf again or hopefully not doing any more other worship ever again this idea is very deep and we're going to really look and examine this whole idea behind the uh the golden calf because it itself it's the golden calf that caused death to come into the world now I know this is what we all hear that when we accepted the Ten Commandments on Shu the Jewish people were going to live forever we made a tikun on the the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve in other words the sin caused us to die and the rec the the the tikun of accepting the The Ten Commandments meaning the whole Torah was a tun for what we call death do you remember we were in Kon and we talked about this the four types of death we're going to talk about one of them right now so basically it's like this that the way he's going to describe it is no you always thought that death came back into the world once we sin with the golden calf it's true but not true what really took place we were still go right we were never going to live forever when we accepted the Ten Commandments and accepted the Torah the only difference about death was we were never going to die through the angel of death the angel of death was not not going to pull our souls out of our bodies to kill us but rather the kiss of death which is the highest level Kon it's the highest level it's like pulling a hair out of a cup of water okay it's when God breathed into US life and he would remove that life with his own lips so to speak so now let's hear his words that the ago the sin of the golden calf is but caused the impure purity of death not death itself but the impurity of death why because at M Torah at the Revelation Israel became free through the which is a little bit of play on words it literally is a play on words because the word to engrave on the tablets the same words with a different realization means that we became free through the tablets it means yes the engraving on the tablets is what caused us to become free through the Torah meaning free from what free from the angel of death not from Death itself but from the angel of death and it's only the death that's caused by the angel of death that brings impurity into the world in other words we have a u we have a tradition a completely righteous person who dies he didn't die through the angel of death and therefore there's no Tuma that's why it's a m Locus but many people believe and hold that in the marak where Abraham Isaac and Jacob and Adam and their wives are buried go can go in priests go in and do the blessing re May Balan people go in and do the blessing there's so many other Karim the the cemeteries that have only sikim there's an opinion that what the con can go in there okay and it's widely held don't think it's so strange now don't think as most people do that the idea the intent was there was no death at all but rather the idea is there's freedom from this which we talk about the Mal the angel of death that you wouldn't die except through the nishik the only type of death if for all righteous is through the kiss of death through Hashem the mouth of God and then when he does that to us that kiss there is no tumor you cannot expect that kiss of death to carry any tumor uh impurity that the main point of the I Tuma the main point of that uh impurity of the Dead is only coming through the Mal it's only coming through the angel of death which is coming from the Dark Side the other side but those who die through the Nika through the kiss they don't have any impurity and in fact the day that rebi that rebi udaasi died you'll find this inami in Bros that it says that the on that day the Kahuna the cohain shouldn't worry about Tuma that they should be involved in going to the funeral there was no t on the the day that re Yuda died therefore they permitted even the Kim to involve themselves in his funeral so it comes out you know what comes out from this that when we received the Torah we became free from the angel of death and there was no tumor there was no impurity but guess what when we resorted to making the golden calf then it returned and we became ruined and guess what had authority over us the angel of death if that's the case it's the agle itself that causes the tumas it means that is the agle is what makes the mess therefore comes the mother which is the the the paruma which is the red heer and cleans up the feces of her son in order to remove the Tuma right and in order to remove the Tuma it's going to come through the the ashes of the par and he concludes at this point this is a very dear explanation but we're not finished yet I implore you to stick in there we're now going to verse three it's kind of short and then we're going to go to verse 21 which is a little bit long but I I I I tell you that it's very good stuff so verse three says that they should give it over to Eleazar so you'll find this in numbers 193 and you shall give it to elazar the Coen now the question is why not Aon it was not through Aon but it was through his son and why because Aon was involved as being part of the reason for the golden calf we find that Moses prayed that Eleazar he prayed El we saw that Moses prayed that this person this Rabbi elezar who in the future would be the one who brought forth this law into the world he wanted him to come from his his loins so here it says also elazar I know elazar and elz are not the same but it doesn't matter that we hear from here that this hints to the idea when remember when Moses named elar elazar because it means means that God is my helper so what does it mean now this is going to go in lead into what the answer about the paradom is it's only through God that we can find this Purity in other words this whole idea of the impurity and Purity is nothing physical it's purely metaphysical it's only through Hashem that we can find the Purity as it says listen to Ezekiel 36:25 and I God speaking I will sprinkle clean water upon you and you will be clean right if it had not been for the help of God blessed be he you would never have this could not have happened on our own there's no way we can create this Purity it's only with the help of God and now we understand what it says that a paruma is going to be a 2-year-old cow meaning above a year and the egua is less than a year what comes out from this what do we understand that the original reason reason is greater p p then the product then the resultant therefore that's why a person has to work very hard to uproot the reason the reason is going to be much harder to get rid of than the resultants and that's why the paruma is twice twice is strong in terms of um its power and in age so the age is giving you this idea now he asked the question he answers it really why do you have the sprinkling on the third day and on the seventh day and the reason is because we find and I believe this is in MO cuton it talks about when we mourn the first three days are the worst the most difficult that's when there's really crying going on and then there's eulogy going on for 7even days and then there's a 30-day period and then there's a whole year it's constantly going and minimizing so when we're mourning until a year is finished it's still on our minds and it starts with a great and we can't think but uh the pain we feel But as time goes on it becomes diminished and diminished and that's why there's a comparison to morning um in the sprinkling because there's a diminishing the third day and the seventh day since Tuma is the Tuma itself is diminishing behold they say in M cuton three days are for crying seven days are for eulogizing that's why the sprinkling is during these two times let's go to verse 21 now this verse 21 is speaking about H number 24 in the in this or she this shall be for them as a Perpetual statute the one who sprinkles the sprinkles W shall wash its clothes in other words what we're learning here is the person this the paradox the person who's clean and picks up the ashes and uses them to sprinkle someone else becomes impure himself do you understand what's going on here this is very unusual why is it that the person who is pure picks up these ashes in order to purify someone else becomes impure themselves so many of the MIM have gone out to try to explain it and he claims they never found a reasonable explanation for why that the why the cleans or cleanses from impurity those who are impure while at the same time is while at the same time it is causing impurity for those who are pure so he ask you to lean over your ear and listen well that we find now this gets a little complicated when it comes to food called o food is not fit for receiving tumor unless or until water falls on it the truth is there's seven liquids but he's focusing on water when that water falls on the food then it becomes a receptacle it becomes like activated in order to receive Tuma it's still not t but it's only the water that activates the food remember these are food stuffs that you would bring to Coen or Ley and they can't be in state certain States let's say the Coen can't be in C certain states of impurity uh when they re when they eat this food so it's a problem so if you have impure food number one it can't be given over to the coin so the question he poses is how's it possible which is water water is what makes the Mikvah water is what purifies things water is what cleanses things and yet it is going to be the source listen to this how is it this water is going to cause someone who's clean to become unclean so he says this is how to explain that this is through nature it's a natural result now the way he explains it I thought about Homeopathy but let's put that aside because that has been basically proven to be untrue but perhaps there's a little bit of Truth in it so this is something we call nature that anything that is not any everything is always activated through that something that is opposite it now the the thing that I that comes to mind is a man and his wife I don't believe that a man can reach his full potential unless he has his opposite his helpmate opposite him that's what I believe and I think this will prove it but let's think more theoretical and metaphysically anything or everything is only activated by its opposite that we don't find this true by its own type if it's his own own type it's not going to help him like the way the Yates har the evil inclination provokes this is going to be hard to swallow everybody but we all know it's probably true that the the the Yates the evil inclination is more powerful in a Jew than a non-jew it has more power it provokes more Israel than the non-jews and guess who's worse guess who has the worst okay do I have aorus 52a so basically it's an amazing story Abaya once overheard a certain man say to a certain women now he didn't know they were brother and sister he didn't know that he so he's he he thought that they were going to do something um un un unseemly so they said let us rise early and go on the road upon hearing this a BAS said to himself oh I'm going to go and follow them basically and prevent them like if I ever see them start to do something hold hands kissing I'll jump in and say oh you know I'll save them from sin he went after them he kept a distance okay and then when they were leaving each other now they didn't do anything wrong the whole way and they were taking leave from each other and he heard them say oh we went far enough we had Pleasant company so abayas said in that situation If instead of that man it had been I in other words he was attracted let's say to the woman or he knew he wouldn't be able to trust himself this man whether it was the sister brother relationship or just total strangers because is an issue that's why I mentioned brother sister relationship um being alone in a forest could be a problem but anyway so let's say they they they were unseemly they didn't do anything wrong so what happened what did he say about him self he said that if he was there he would not have been able to restrain himself he would have fallen for the girl and sinned so he went and he leaned against his doorpost feeling regret and at the same time the certain Elder came and taught him anyone who's greater than the other his evil inclination is even greater than his meaning they might not have had a problem but you would have been um you might have had a big problem if you went and we understand now why a a Jew has more you know commands Okay we're not going to go into that we'll save that for another Shear but apparently we're talking about the ability um let's say uh when you're once you're commanded I think everyone understands this point when you're commanded to do something there's more resistance to do it right you're on the way out to take the garbage and your wife says oh can you take the garbage so when it was your own idea I think Rabbi Bri brought this up the other night it's your own idea everything's fine but once your wife asks you to do it then all of a sudden there's this built-in hesitation maybe I won't right and this leads us back to the original thought that it's the opposite that activates you that's why the can be so great that's why the Jewish people can be so great because when you have the opposition that is what causes the greatness it's only when you have the opposite therefore L if you want to overcome it you you're obligated to overcome it now this is the reason that that's why it's always darkest before the dawn have you ever heard that expression it's darkest before the dawn because as the dawn is about to come that is a transition towards light and yet right before that moment of dawn it's the darkest the same concept here because everything is going to be activated from its opposite that's why all food or seeds is only activated to become T um to make in it some type of impression until right there's no impression until the water which we already said is the source of all Purity it's actually going to come now this is still going to be a problem because why should the water be the one then the t is going to that's why once you have the water which is pure which is represents Purity comes on that's when the tomb is activated and wants to overpower the purity and it will overpower it and then make its Roshan just like so too like going into the Mikvah or the purification Waters in this case by the sprinkling it has what it really has water in them which we said is All Pure but guess what there's also a little bit of the ashes of the para and that is all impure and they're mixed together therefore if the purification waters are thrown on a man who's impure so then a the person is not being activated meaning the purity of the person is not BEC coming from the ashes side because the ashes is basically what he is it's it's it's mimino it's the same um type it's not water it's impure he's impure the ashes come from impurity but if he is but what but if but how is the purification activated it's coming from the water side which is opposite what he is so he's impure it's the water side because what he is T but the water is pure therefore the water is poimo therefore the water is the active ingredient and it's not it's going to overtake the impur but a man who's already pure who's basically carrying right we already spoke about the person who's pure who is going to sprinkle or carry the purification Waters so he's going to become T right so it's he's not being activated from the water part because that's going to be from the same men mean the same type he's pure and the water's pure both of them are pure but what's activating him he's going to be activated from the the ashes part because of the opposite of him because they're impure therefore he is pure but the the ashes are impure therefore the ashes are activating within him and making him the impression for impurity now if you're going to ask what's if that's the case what do I need the ashes just use pure water and then there's no problem of anybody ever having a problem let's let just use pure water right let's just use pure water without any ashes so the answer is you actually need there is a need to sprinkle the ACs on the person because you're not able to purify the person until it's known the source of the Tuma in other words part of the educational process of um part of the educational process of causing the Purity and to because we have to go back to the original idea of removing the reason meaning when you have a document of debt you know what needs to accompany the document of debt the receipt that it was paid otherwise you're going to be stuck paying the bill and because of this mixture they remember we asked the question why don't you just lose water therefore you have this mixture on account of this mixture you have the power of the water that's coming to make known that right that um it's going to become for Purity shame that it's coming to overpower the source of the Tuma now from the aspect of a hint he feels This Is The Place To Say by what the B explains regarding this is what it all comes down to this is the lesson it's going to teach us about do doing Chua about repentance so if you were confused up until now this is where things will become clearer that it's all about repentance as explained in the book of the aada and he's going to now explain it that there's a concept called healing of the soul is just like healing of the body so we only know from our you know science and medicine how to heal a body but how do you he heal the soul so basically you know that if someone is sick they say that your your taste buds are off right what is bitter is sweet and what is sweet is bitter right you don't really feel the the nor like a normal human being when you're sick but guess what the medicine that you prescribe for a sick person can actually help the person whereas if a healthy person took that same medicine it could or might cause damage so what is normally given to an unhealthy person physically will um will help him but it could do damage to a healthy healthy person tell us in gorus page 11b I'll just tell you outside basically um if someone sins and they want to repent it could be a good idea to fast but someone who's a Yeshiva B someone who's a Tor scholar in the academy if he fasts on these days that everyone else is fasting guess what could happen he's not going to be learning Torah properly it's actually going to it's actually going to cause more damage to him and to the world so the the actual phrase is R said the student of the Torah Academy who sits in observance of a fast has let a dog eat his portion in other words his fast weakens him and prevents him from studying it's considered as though a dog ate his meal and the student derived no benefit from it so what do we see that if we're calling him a healthy person spiritually if he goes about doing something like this it actually has a ruin ruination a a detriment this is what kazal tell us in Yuma 50 I'm sorry 86b this is gor Yuma 86b which says like this tell us what exactly is the what what is someone who repented who's considered about Tru a master of return when he comes to the exact same situation and he doesn't act on it he separates himself from it he did sins in the past with in a certain with a certain woman in a certain place with a certain desire and in this case he doesn't do it comes Ruda and he clarifies that exactly that same time with the same woman in the same place fight because the source the M sorry the place of the Sino and the gate that he passed meaning all the desires and all the details that's where he needs to strengthen himself to go against his evil inclination that he already tasted there in that place that sin and he he seeks to remedy this by learning from his his actions and not do it again listen to hosiah 2:1 chapter 2 verse1 listen to the listen to the words and the number of the children of Israel should is the sand of the sea which shall neither be measured nor counted now this is the important part and it shall come to pass in that place it really means it should come in that place we'll see the Hebrew that instead of saying them you are not my people meaning this is because we were sinning you were not my people but now in that place rather it's going to be said to them you are the children of the Living God so let me explain that it's specifically the place of sin that's where we are considered um not his people okay but in the place where there's chuva where repentance takes place that's where we are called the children of the Living God now some will say that the intent of the rabbis you can find in Bros 34b there's a very interesting Gamora that says the very place that Bal Chua people who were Sinners and repent stand theik the people are completely righteous are not able to stand there it's very interesting because the word makum is used the same idea the place that since B Chua needs to stand in the place how do you know you're about Chua how do you know that you actually accomplished this repentance because you're standing in the very place that you originally sinned where you were alone with that woman and which you sinned in but you're not going to sin again but what's the difference s gum or the person who never sinned at all he would actually be forbidden to be in that position so this sounds very strange and I spoke to many rabbis about this this is what the clear is saying that apparently even though a man is not allowed to be with a woman who's not his wife alone in a room right so the S would never be there in the first place and he wouldn't be there in the second place but apparently the about tra who was there in the first place I'm not going to say I have a hard time saying it may maybe it means he may find himself accidentally but it sounds like he may even be in that same situation in order to overcome it's a real stretch we'll leave it for a further discussion but that is what he's saying because the would be forbidden to bring himself to such a n such a trial but the boua seemed seems to be permissible it comes out just being alone again a second time is proof that he did chuva so therefore what are we saying the same principle we said all along this being alone will pu will purify those I'm sorry will make t impure those who are pure such as the G whereas it will make pure those who are T which would be the baa okay I believe this is the final stretch yes okay so too every B Chua needs to do what how do you become a b Chua you have to go to the Other Extreme in eventually to find your middle if you're a sinner the way to find the middle path cuz the truth is it's the middle path that you seek so what you need to do is to go to one extreme from the away from what you sinned with in order to find the middle path so too like a Craftsman now I'm not a um a naria I'm not a what's naria Carpenter a carpenter I'm not a carpenter but a Craftsman that wants to make straight a piece of wood that's a little twisted he needs to bend it in the other direction right and eventually I can just imagine I have to use my ination for this eventually then it would be straight so too a completely righteous person but a completely righteous person he's not able to follow this way because he was never bent to begin with he always needs to go constantly in the middle path so there's a verse in Ecclesiastes Ecclesiastes is um yeah go where it says the truth is I want to look at the whole verse over here don't be overly righteous don't be overly wise why should you bring desolation upon yourself be not overly Wicked be not a fool why should you die before your time what um King Solomon is saying is you got to find the Middle Road you want to be a sadik you want to be righteous don't be too much this way don't be too much that way find the middle path this is the this is the Golden Rule the golden means so too some say that this is hinted to now this is an interesting idea when you in this in the paruma you take and I believe this is the 196 numbers 196 the go the Cohen is going to take Cedarwood Cedar what is cedar cedar is one of the largest strongest trees and the his IP which is a very lowly Bush and he's going to dip it into the the ashes into the water and he's going to use that to sprinkle why these two extremes one is the cedar wood which is the biggest of and strongest of trees and the um the his which is a very lowly Bush and very weak Bush and you're going to put them into the Safa sapara you're going to put that into the burning of the cow meaning what you're burning the extremes you're getting rid of the extremes that's the goal meaning even for the even for the balua who has to in one sense went from one extreme go to The Other Extreme but the goal is the middle the sadik has to stay always in the middle the goal is the middle why to remind yourself not to raise yourself up like a cedar tree and not to lower yourself too much like the therefore the paruma which is going to make impure those who are pure in order to teach in order that everyone should learn from this that this whole idea of doing repentance there are several concepts of as we just spoke about of the whether you were impure or or pure to start with it it it does the opposite right it acts the same way that any change is coming from you me this is a very deep concept we'll we'll discuss this further but we discussed this before a blessing and a curse the bless there's nothing the evil that emanates from God think about this Aon listen to this there's a sun in the sky and it has heat it has right there's rays of light and there's heat emanating from the Sun when you have wax which is hard but the sun is hitting it it becomes soft if you have an egg which is soft talking about the inside the Sun hits the egg it could I'm talking about in in a lot in August okay you put it on the sand I don't know how long I don't know if it's 3 minutes or 20 minutes or 2 hours there will be a hard boiled egg so it's the sun which represents the the concept of God is em ating okay it's the maim it's us we're on the receiving side what is our attitudes how are we perceiving things so in the future when God bestows blessings and curse it says that he will remove the sheath from the sun and it will be a blessing it will be a healing to those who are righteous and it will burn those who are evil how is that possible it's the same Sun the same heat that's affecting two different people in two different ways it's called ma the one on the receiving side so this is what it comes down to why is it that over here the one who is impure becomes pure the one who is pure becomes impure because it's on the receiving side and I just want to leave it at that this is very deep we have to meditate on it we have to go over and over and over this there were a lot of deep ideas we shared tonight and I hope this is life-changing because listen we all want to do truva properly we we all want to live a righteous lifestyle and hopefully this will give us some insight into uh the beauty of the Torah so we can learn more and become even more righteous so with that shabbat shalom and uh have a great life [Music] some here e
