Rabbi Avrum Kowalsky - Consequences of Casting out a Jew

the uh camera's working yeah it's uh it's charged up everything is good yes yeah don't we're on the air I know good evening everybody my name is abam Kowalski I want to thank you all for coming coming and giving me this opportunity to address you tonight I'm going to cover an air an issue that troubled me for many many years without a solution and we'll see what I was able to come up with the topic of this evening's uh lecture or Shear whatever we'd like is the consequences of casting out a Jew and the focus of this of course is this week's para and para Emar the Torah tells us and I'll just say it in Hebrew it's in Source One and a man the son of a Jewish woman and he is the son of a man who is a mitz an egypti he went out amongst the children of Israel and he engaged in a fight by and he got into a fight benis this son of a Jewish woman is isi and and a Jewish man and the son of the Jewish woman cursed God by Moshe and they brought him before mosuo and the name of his mother was SCH his mother's name was schlomit the the daughter of DIY from the tribe of dun and they put him into they incarcerated him until they would know what his punishment was from God now words mosh Renu was going to seek the counsel of Hashem to find out what would be the appropriate punishment for this blasphemer right the Torah goes on to say and this is in um in Source um one and two take out the the blasphemer to the um edge of the camp and let all those who heard him blasphemy God's name Place their hands over his head ramu Al call and and stone him to death and so they did they took out the to the edge of the camp also they stoned him and the children of Israel did everything that Moshe that Hashem commanded to Moshe that's a very brief description of what happens there's a blasphemer well first he there's a a Jewish woman who has a son by an Egyptian man she consorted with an Egyptian and she bore a boy a young man he grew up to be a young man the raban goes out of his way to tell us that he was absolutely Jewish because his mother was Jewish and um our tradition and H is that um we pass jewishness on by the mother and tribal affiliation by the father so if a person is born born to a Jewish mother he or she is Jewish as to which tribe they they belong to that depends on the father that's before Torah too that's before Torah that's in the time of of this story in the ramban says it's before Torah to but this story already is after the Torah we this this is in bikra the Torah was given in in shamos so we're post Torah there's an issue of petrol lineal descent before before the Torah that's um yeah that's true there was patol lineal descent before the Torah but now there's matal lineal descent after the Torah but also there is an aspect of patal descent to determine the tribe from which the person comes now this is very cryptic why did this man go out where did he go out from what is happening here so the metc tells us the Safro actually tells us in par zor and it fleshes in the story and this this is what the this is what the sa which is one of the M tell us as follows and that's in Source three and this man the son of a Jewish woman went out says or ask the sa where did he go out from where did he go out from where is he going out says the saf he emerged from the court of mosu the B of mosu shab he came and wanted to set up his tent in the in the midst of the camp of dun you know the tribes Camp 12 separate camps and each tribe had its own camp and he wanted to pitch his tent in the camp of dun they said what is the purpose of your setting up your tent in the midst of the tribe of D Omar he said to them my mother is from the daughters of dun and I want to associate and pitch my tent in the in the tribe of they said to him each man to the flag meaning to his camp but it goes It goes by the father it goes by patrilineal descent you are not a member of the tribe of dun your mother ISM uh came from dun but your father is not from dun your father is an Egyptian he demanded a trial before m a hearing he went out moshu um passed judgment that the tribe of D was right he had no right to pitch his tent amongst the tribe of dun because he was not a descendant patrilineally from anyone in the tribe of dun and therefore he could not keep his tent there was there a separate area he could have right so he goes out and he curses God that's what happens now what you just asked is what bothered me he this Jew was the uh a product of an elicit relationship between an Egyptian man male and a Jewish woman by the way the gamorra tells us that that this was the sole illicit um consort that took place in the in the while the Jews were in M the that's an amazing statistic if you know um we say that in the Merit of four things the Jewish people were redeemed from Egypt one of them is is that there was no promiscuity that the Jewish women did not sell their bodies in a sense to the Egyptians in order to to obtain any um you know favorable treatment they were pure and they kept themselves to themselves and they did not consort with the Egyptians this says the gamori is the sole case of an illegal relationship and we're not sure from the gamorra if the woman was raped or not raped but basically this was the only instance in which this happened so here's this young man he's grown up together with his mother's tribesmen obviously he was an infant and and ultimately he he becomes an adult when he becomes an adult he wants to have his own family his own tent and he pitches his tent among his mother's family and his mother's family tells him no remove your tent why would they say no they said no because they were afraid that if he kept his tent among the tribes of the tribe of dun when they would get to the land of Israel and they would divide their um the land would be divided amongst the tribes and then within each tribe it was a it was divided amongst the the Clans the Bas ofam he would then demand a piece of land he would say I grew up with the tribe of dun I had my tent with the tribe of dun I want a piece of land in the tribe of dun supposed to go you had 12 tribes he doesn't we're getting there we're getting there this is what bothered me I would say for 10 years to permit him to share they will diminish our portion in the land of Israel hence we cannot tolerate his presence in our camp that's what they say this young man of Egyptian Jewish descent responded that he too is full he's a full-fledged Jew where is he supposed to go if he can't go to the tribe of D he can't go to Ru he can't go anywhere where's he going to go so he said I can't I can't abide by this decision I demand a hearing before mosh renu and what happens lo and behold MOS Renu says the tribe of done his right that is the the is there is only patrilineal descent to attribute you to a tribe you had to your father or grandfather you had to be patulin associated with that tribe you cannot determine your tribe by Dent of your mother's affiliation with the tribe now this story always troubles me especially in view of the tamic statement that this was the only instance and so it bothered me just just reading this Rashi and it's in the Rashi it's in the I quoted you from the saf it bothered me for years and then it bothered me even more because inid there's a very interesting exchange between yro and M you take a look in Source Four it says Moshe and mosu said to to Jethro his father-in-law he said we are about to embark on our final stage of our trip we're going into the land of Israel this is before the sin of the spies we're going into the land of Israel come with us we will be good to you for God speaks well for Israel in other words God is about to give us the holy land of Israel we're about to cross the the into the land and if we cross into the land we're going to engage enemies we need you to come you'll be like a scout you'll give us information on the various people we're going to face you know this land well you know its population we would like you to accompany us Andro says to I don't want to go notice what he says but to my homeland into my birthplace I will go what is this ring a bell what happens when Hashem tells Abraham leave your land leave your birthplace and leave your father's home and parallels that in Reverse I want to go to my land L of tea and I want to go to my birthplace and then mosha responds again and says to him do not abandon us you know about our trips and our on our encampments in the midbar you'll be our eyes you'll be our Scout it will be if you go with us it'll be that good that good a specific good unmentioned it in in the words of Moshe but we'll see the the raan and the M will explain to us what's happening here and that good that God will do to us we will share with you we will be good to you take a look in number five the ramban elaborates on this dialogue and discussion between mosenu and Y I'll read it and I'll translate it he named MOS mosha begged from him to accompany the Jewish people in their crossing over in their growing into the land of Israel St the first time he says to is we'll be good to you come along with us we'll be good to you who what did how did y understand how did he interpret these words and we meaning the Jewish people will be good to you what does that mean we the Jewish people will be good to you yel how did y understand that he thought that what mosha was telling him is that they would share from the booty from the loot when they would defeat the 31 Kings there would be lots of booty K there'll be silver and goldim and clothing theone and sheep and and and cattle but understood that to mean I will get from the personal property gold silver cattle but I won't get any I won't get a piece of land I won't get any land cuz I am not Jewish and therefore yro did not want to go and what did he say he responded see I want to go to my land I want to have some real estate I want to own land I want to go back home to my land El into my birthplace there I have an inheritance I have land and I have assets for cover and I have honor I have dignity if I go with you and notwithstanding the fact that you'll give me gold and silver I will be landless without land I will have no dignity and so I want have land yes the levies don't get land right so good hold that thought till the end MOS was a l that's right that's right so anyone that doesn't have a tribe should go live with the L okay so hold that thought to the end then said to him please do not leave us from your knowledge of the desert your knowledge of the people where we're going you will be our Scout our eyes as we conquer the lands you'll tell us what's the best roots to take inside the land when we go to battle for all of the good that God will bestow upon us we will share with you this is an indication said to ISRO we will give you a portion in the land of Israel for helping us we will give you land so now really bothered me for yro mosenu was able to find a solution mosenu said we will give you land and what actually happens is doen which was a suburb of EO was given to Ben to the children of yro as an AA and that's where they settled and fact is when sha goes to fight am you know the famous episode where he leaves the king alive and he loses his throne because of that but anyway when sha goes to attack the am he he sends Messengers to the family of yro the descendants of yro and he says he separate yourselves from the Amal cuz we're going to fight the Amal we're going to attack Amal and so they were there in the region they were there in the land of Israel and that's what mosenu told Y and there is a difference of opinion as to whether yro stayed or whether y left U but certainly yro came back the ones who say that he left he left to get the rest of his family or rest of his clan and bring them to uh um you know into the encampment of Israel as they marched to the land of Israel and the ones who say that he stayed he he must have brought others with him and he just stayed okay that's a difference of opinion so now we have a situation where Moshe was able to find an accommodation for his father-in-law but yet for this Jewish man not a convert a full-fledged Jew there was no accommodation made and he was in a sense felt robbed of his dignity and he went out and he cursed God yes is that the by G they have they have no uniique because came the land first time came in no because because it was unique because mosh raenu was promising him sort of a reward for helping out with the scouting and with the lay of the land and and and the nature of the people that they were going to encounter and that's what the ran is trying to distinguish between um between yro and between this this I mean this Isel is the son of this Jewish woman without bringing the question to the four he's hinting that okay yro is being rewarded for something that he did whereas this Jewish young man he didn't do anything to deserve any extraordinary treatment but it always bothered me that why couldn't they find an accommodation for this one little young man is it trouble anybody here where mosha get the land for you he got it from some little extra suburb that they found near uro which is close to the Border he found the place maybe he asked that tribe to give up some of its land for an accommodation whatever so this troubled me for for a long time and of course the the problem was enhanced when I read you know the ran byro and you know what even more amazing to me is none of the of foram asked this question this is a question that apparently is uh something that troubles modern people but for some reason the um medieval commentators nor the talas nobody seems to be bothered by this problem as why they could not find an accommodation in other words the strict law was applied and I agree that that is the strict law that it's patolin descent for inheritance but it just you know it rips at your heart a little bit or it tugs at your heart as somebody trying to get in it tugs at your heart and um yes what I'm about that when talking about the application of the stri law why he didn't actually solve the problem that's exactly the point he just he just imposed the strict law found found no solution for this young man and in his rage at being um robbed of his dignity the young man blasphemed God's name and there was no solution found that's what when comes and we the tribes get the land now and you have converts that don't have tribes well first of all the the when Messiah comes the land of Israel is going to to be much more expansive than it ever was and there be still has to be now it's going to be divided amongst all the people there's an interesting uh not the yeah well no it'll it'll be divided amongst those those who who obain salvation what guy's father was he Arab or what who isra's father no the the young guy the young guy was a full-fledged Jew he's not Arab BR no his father it was egyp his father stayed in Egypt so she was pregnant when she left Egypt that's right or maybe she already born the child I don't know he may have already been born but he's Jewish Hally he's Jewish want but I thought that was Torah is when the woman gave the Judaism to the kids after Torah he was born after the Torah was given yeah he was born after the Torah is given that's what they say the gar says that he was horo shal K he was conceived before and he was born after you're right that's what the Torah says and the ran goes on to say he was a full-fledged Jew and the Torah calls him a Israelis the son of a Jewish woman it's stressing the fact that he's Jewish or it would have just said that he was a Mitri part of the Arab R so this troubled me and again as I said to you it really bothers me that no but none of them before asked this question nobody I looked at every single maor that I could get my hands on and I never F found an answer to this question or I never found the question asked which made it even more difficult to understand sometimes when you have a Kasha and you find that somebody asked the question you feel relieved at least you know you're not the only idiot out there and somebody else asked this question but when you have a question that you think is a good legitimate question and nobody ask the question that's very bewildering yes I would have set him up with one of the not okay see that you would have been a sh right there on the spot okay okay so here again we see that for a convert of isra was a convert mosenu went out of his way to find an accommodation yet for this Jewish young man there is no accommodation and then years after this question bothered me I came across a very interesting thing in saer schop how many of you know the story of PES mik anybody know it okay so we're going to learn that story tonight it's inim we're going to start with peric 17 chapter 17 I didn't produce this in the sour sheets because it goes on for pages okay but I will read it to you as we go through it there was a man byar I'm going to basically translate it so you know it was a man from Mount of frim and his name was mik Maho I'll skip a little bit here I'll just paraphrase it he tells his mother um there's a a thousand pieces of silver I stole your silver he tells his mother you had a thousand pieces of silver I stole it from you Mama nice little Jewish boy and she says don't worry I forgive you and um he gives it back to her and she takes it and she brings it to a silver smith and they fashion this little icon but Tom IMO I sanctify this silver to God and they take it from the house and they bring it to the silver smith and um they make this icon and they make it into an an image a p an icon and this icon this little statue stays in the house of mik and then mik decides to take this statue and make a house of God and so he makes a he makes a house of God and he puts the statue in it and he makes for himself Priestly vestment and he appoints one of his sons to be a priest to the statute which he makes in the house of God and in these days this is in the period of the there's no king in Israel enforcing the law everybody can do what they want the rule of law was not prevalent at that time okay so here's what happens he steals the money he gives it back to his mother the mother makes a little icon for him she gets him a job she makes him a temple and there he is he's the priest one of his sons is the priest and he's serving this icon in this Temple there's a young man from B which is in the tribe of Yehuda Yehuda is's from the family of Yehuda Lei and he's a levite how can that possibly be how can he be the gamorra asked this question and the gorah says that his mother's family was from Yehuda and his father was a Ley so as far as being a patrilineal descent he was Jewish because his mother was from the tribe of Yehuda but patrilineally he was a levite not not a member of the tribe of Yehuda he was a levite because his father was a levy and he lived with his mother's family and the man leaves in the in the tribe from the Holdings of Yehuda to go live wherever he may find which means that he had no destination he just left and now he's out there searching for his fortune he's going to be looking for a place to settle obviously he left because he felt uncomfortable for some reason living with his mother's family and he went went without any particular destination just to go find someplace by Yobo Hara guess where he ends up he ends up in Hara frim and he comes to the house of mik now the gorah tells us that Miko was extremely hospitable he was a person that had an open house and people we'll see from the story people would just come and visit and stay and mik's house for various periods of time and this young man from the tribe of from the family of Yehuda his mother's from Yehuda and he's from uh he's he's a levite and he has no place to go so he wanders around and he ends up in mik's house and mik says to where are you coming from when did you make Al says where are you coming from he said I am a lite but I from Bethlehem and I am going to wander until I find a place to live I have no particular destination and so M tells him stay with me and you will be a a prominent person here you'll be an a you'll be like a head of a household and you'll be the Coan I'm going to make you the Coen to my little statue in my temple I'll give you 10 pieces of silver for so many days and I'll give you vestment and clothes of and your sustenance room in board and you will stay with me and he decides to stay there and the Nar this young man becomes like one of mik's sons and he and mik fulfills his pledge to him and he he and the Nar becomes the cohain he becomes the priest in the base of mik in the House of M in this Temple and mik of course can cannot get over his Good Fortune because until now he used one of his sons as a priest but now he has somebody from the tribe of Ley and this this levite will now become his priest he's overjoyed and again it tells us in those days there was no king in Israel so nobody was enforcing the law and then the to the Torah tells us a very then the Novi tells us a very amazing statement and in that same time as this young man was settling in in the house of mik and was becoming the priest to this icon that was in his temple in that same period of timeas the tribe of dun was seeking its inheritance in order to dwell in it Kil for being amongst all the tribes of Israel there's 12 sha it done for some reason did not find its place in other words Shon could not settle in the land that was allotted to it by yahushua benun and could not find peace in its own land why because shidan was right near the pisan right on the border with the pum if you know the the next the The Last judge in the Book of Judges which which was the chapter right before we began the chapter before the story of the icon or the the idol of mikah the very last story is the story of Samson of shimin haar he was from dun and dun was being more attacked constantly by the pelishtim and he went out to fight the pelishtim single-handedly and you know the whole story he falls in love with the Leela and she betrays him anyway he destroys the temple in a and and because of what he did the fear of Israel was in the hearts of the pelishtim and the land was quiet for 20 years but he was the last of the Chau in in in the Book of Judges so anyway for this period of time I don't know 100 200 years the tribe of dun was constantly defending itself against the fisan and they had no tranquility and they had no peace and they couldn't settle and they were con L being attacked and they were constantly having to defend themselves and as you know during the period of the judges rarely if the only one time that all the Jews gathered together was when they had a civil war because of Pisha but I'm not going to teach you the the Book of Judges here now the entire time in the in the Book of Judges Whenever there would be a war it would always be local and a tribe or two would get together and fight the enemy but never did all of Israel harness its Collective power in unite to fight okay so now the Torah tells the noi tells us there's this icon that's set up in the house of mik there's a young levite who is now the priest and at the same time the tribe of Don is beside itself because it cannot rest peacefully in its land and so the tribe of D decides to send a fiveman delegation a scouting delegation a committee to find B Men of Valor from where is exactly where shim came from to spy out the land of Israel and to inquire right and to say let's go look over the land of Israel and find a place where we can transfer our tribe to because we can't live here on the border with the pish him it is too warlike by har so as they go up north they come to the to mount of FR which is north at b m lo and behold they come to this little Motel 6 which mik is running and they go to see they hear him singing know the Levites sang and he singing in his Temple and they go to see what's going on and they say to him how did did you get here what are you doing here what's going on and he tells him the whole story I was I was from the tribe of Yehuda I I mean I wasn't from the tribe but I lived with that tribe I didn't feel comfortable there I came wandering to find my place in the world and hello and behold mik took me in and he's hired me and he pays me and he cares for me and I am his priest so they said to him go ask God if you're a priest go ask God and let us know tell us will our mission be successful we are now scouting for land in which to to um to transfer our tribe to this new uh piece of land we've looking for this land will we be successful in this Mission and the Coen tells them go in peace and God will direct you you will be successful and they go and they come to a city called lies lies was a Canaanite city which had not been conquered by the Jews by yosua Ben nun you know that yahushua Ben nun defeated the 31 Canaanite Kings when he came into the land of Israel for seven years they fought he fought for seven years liberating the land they they killed the 31 Kings he captured or killed them all but he didn't finish the job he left pockets of Canaanites and amorites Hittites he left pockets of of of Canaanite nations in possession of the land of Israel in fact jushan he didn't capture so it was only captured later on by D so they were pockets and they came to this city called Lish which is all the way up North and they saw it was a Canaanite City it was from uh and they saw that it was peaceful and tranquil because they the Jews had stopped um you know conquering Land There was peace in the land and they said hey this is right for the taking they have no army they have no they don't seem to have an army they don't seem to be fortified they don't seem to be uh under any threat they seem to be totally at peace and so they return back down south to let's call it gush kaff area they go down south all the way to the border of Gaza they tell their tribesmen let us go up and let us conquer Lish and so the tribe of dun sends a 600 man war party and they go up North and as they're going north they pass through the house of mik okay okay and they go to harim and they too the 600 men war party arrives at the house of mik and they see this little priest and they see him dressed in his Priestly garments and they see the icon the the the little statue and you know what they do they turn aside from their mission they go into the house of uh the temple they steal the um the the the icon they take the priest and they say to him come on join with us we're going further north and you will be our priest and we will have this little icon that you uh your mother made or you made or you had fashion and he says to them wait a minute this belongs to mik he said they said to him what would you rather do would you rather be a priest to this little Motel six or you want to be a priest to a whole tribe we're a whole tribe here of of the tribe of dun and he says okay sounds good probably pay me more and he throws in with them and they leave and they take the priest and they take the and they take this little icon okay then what happens he joins up with this um party from the tribe of D they turn they go and they leave and they take whatever they took from the house of mik and they go and they leave mik sees what's happening he starts running after them they call out to the to to he calls out to the tribe of done to the people of done they turn around and they face mik and they say to him what are you screaming about he says you took my God you took my little Idol you took my uh priest and they said to him if you keep pestering us we're going to kill you we don't want to hear your voice anymore maybe we will strike you we are bitter people we are now sort of vagabonds we are uh dispossessed from our land in a sense we're now traveling to find a new place to locate our house our our tribe don't don't tamper or don't don't argue with us because we are at the end of our rope and we'll kill you and so the tribe of dun goes on its way and they um they take the idol and they take the little priest with him and this little pre they by the way they get to the city of Lies they burn it to the ground and they rebuild it and guess what they name it Dan Dan they name the city dun and when we say from dun to beeva from dun in the north to beeva in the South that's dun that is Lish that's all the way up north where was the tribe of dun down by Gaza they lost their land in Gaza they couldn't occupy it they couldn't hold it in peace and so they transferred the whole tribe up to Dun and from dun to beaba became a statement of describing the northern boundary of Israel and the southern boundary of Israel so what do we see Happening Here we see that the tribe of D that couldn't give one man one plot of land loses its entire share in the land of Israel that is the consequence of not accommodating one single Jew they couldn't find in their hearts a room to give him a little plot of land the noi lets us know that they lose their nla they lose their nla in the land of Israel and they are forced to move all the way up North but that's not the end of the story The noi tells us now also they call the name of their new city B and they name it after d the forefather of their tribe A the Israel who was born to Jacob to Israel was originally its name but now that they conquered it and they burnt it and they rebuilt it they named the city D and they established the B established this pel this this um um Idol image icon Theona Ben who this who the now the is going to identify who is this levite who is this young levite man that became the priest for the tribe of dun or first it tells us his name was yonathan Ben Gan Ben manasha Jonathan the son of Gan the son of manasha who UB of he and his progeny he and his descendants they were pre in the in the tribe of D until the 10 tribes were taken into Exile and they placed there the icon in the icon of the idol of for the entire time that the mishan stood in Shilo 369 years PES stood in D and was worshiped in D and fact is if you learned MIM you know that who rebelled against the um uh the monarchy of the House of Yehuda of the House of David and split off the 10 tribes from bam and Yehuda D's son schomo at the end of his life Yovan became a rebel he broke off and split the kingdom in the time of rabam the grandson of David the the son of schomo the 10 tribes split off from the from the tribe of of Yehuda and Benyamin set up their own monarchy and they said and yat made two temples one temple in D because there already existed a temple of PES mik so he made an a golden calf and put it up in dun and he made a golden calf and he put it in Bale because he wanted to cut off the flow of the people to yusel so the people up north would be able to go to Dun and the people in the middle of the country would be able to go to betel which was just north of Yus so he would cut off people from going to yush by the way he set up soldiers and centuries on the road so that people could notot make the pilgrimage to the B mdash and he offered his alternative temples but one of the reasons he made the temple inone was because of PES mik was already established and done the idol of mik was already in done and he just added uh and built a much larger Temple and of course he added the golden calf up and done he had two golden calves Okay so we've already seen the consequence of what happens to the family or the tribe of dun they lose their portion in the land of Israel and are forced to relocate all the way up North by the way the fact that they were all all the way up North led to them being taken into Exile first first they were the first the the Novi tells us that when um the Assyrians began to um conquer the U the Kingdom of Israel the first thing that fell were the tribes that stayed on the um East Bank of the of the Jordan and then they came in through dun down and they they took them into Exile first so they ended up really um going into Exile first but they initially lost their portion in the land of Israel now who was this levite so you don't have the mass you don't have the text from the tanak in front of you but let me tell you what it is it says yonasan benha how do you spell Minasha me Shin he how do you spell Moshe me Shin he if you take out the N then this yonasan Ben gam Ben MOS he's the grandson of mos and I can show it to you here if you want to just gather around for a moment in the text of the tanak the N of mas is suspended above the line so it really reads Ben me shin and the noon is like thrust there but it's suspended above the line if you take a look have it on sour she I have I have it on Source eight but I couldn't figure out how to suspend ended above the line so I just emboldened it and made it bigger but in the text of the Nai we in Source eight that visualize that noon is being suspended above the line like hanging above the line because the gorah says it was really mosu says Rashi on Nakamura actually Rashi says Ben Min I I think I have that in the in the in the [Music] sources the the author of shim who is Shi by the way took the the took this n and raised it above the line put the n in there in the first place and suspended it above the line to change the name from Moshe to man and it's written suspended above the line lar to tell us shal it wasn't really Mas it was Moshe it's MOS renu's grandson so mosenu that couldn't also find a solution for this Ben is Israelis could not find a solution for him his grandson is twined with the tribe of dun for 36 69 years serving as priests in this idolatrous Temple and that's the consequences even to the great MH rabenu the Novi is telling us that he suffered a consequence for the fact that he was unable to find any any accommodation for that young man and therefore he's joined in for 36 his fate and the fate of his children and grandchildren is joined with the fate of dun dun loses its whole portion in the land and M renu's grandchildren become priests to this this Idol that they stole and set up and done and so while nobody addresses the issue of what or why mosh raenu didn't find a solution the Novi lets us know that there were dire consequences to the fact that D didn't find an accommodation and neither did Moser Reno and that's the end of the lecture very clear all long we've been talking about a lite without a name and then comes the text it says not L well could have been didn't have to be mosha didn't that's identify as mosha you're right but it is not it's it's very strange that M didn't answer I'm telling you I don't know why M know why but there's a consequence there's a consequence and there's no other link between the sh and and M what's the link between mhu and Sh not this what else had the temple mik had a temple but he lost it but he was the one he was the one that that stole the the silver from his mother when when he El he finally um I guess he had pangs of remorse and he tells his mother I stole the silver from you his mother saids don't worry my son I intended to always make a little icon out of this money of this silver and now I'm going to go to the silver smith I'm going to take the money that the silver that you return to me I'm going to have it smelted down and made into this image into this little statute and I'm going to give it to you and you can have your own little Temple and and he did until the tribe of dun on its way up North passed by stole it and took it and took the priest with him and established it up and done priest was made a priest by by right just like this just right this and and and by the way when y um who was the first king that split off the Kingdom of Israel from the kingdom of Yehuda made two temples one in dun one in B so because he wanted to stem the flow of people coming to the Bas of mid he said if you can have two kingdoms you can have two temples and if you're going to have two temples you might as well have three temples to make it easier for the people to have access they don't have to travel all the way from dund down to Jerusalem or to Jus they don't even have to travel all the way from dun to bael where I made my other Temple I'll make you a temple up north and I'll tell you what else I'm going to do I'm going to let you have little little altars all over the land and I'll tell you what else I'm going to do for you children of Israel I'm going to tell you that all of you are priests and everybody can get up and offer the a sacrifice you don't have to be a priest from the tribe of of of uh Aon from the family of Aon hohen everyone can be a priest and he decides to dedicate his Temple this is all in Kings 1 he decides to dedicate his Temple you know what he does to dedicate his Temple he picks the holiday of sukot and which to dedicate his Temple you know why he picked that holiday because that's when schomo dedicated the B mikdash but he didn't want it to fall out on sukos the same as the Jewish as the um traditional sukos so he made a leap year he made a leap year in tishay and he added a month right before in Elo actually he made another he made a leap year which you're not allowed to do and he made another month so he added another month and now he's having it in and he's having it in the eth month which TI is the seventh month so in yush schlomo and all of Israel well schlomo was not was dead already raav and all of Israel that were you know abided by the the M Yehuda they celebrated sukot in the seventh month he dedicated his temple in the eth month and he decided to offer the first sacrifice to show that you did not have to be a priest and he gets up in his Temple and he's about to um offer the sacrifice the inaugural sacrifice dedicating his temple in bael and in walks a prophet and the Torah the na'vi does not identify the name the gamorra identifies him as idoi Ani walks in and walks right in and everybody's there all the all his officers are there and I'm sure there's a musical accompaniment and there's um you know the sacrifices are all ready people are volunteering to be priests and to go up but the King goes first and he W this Prophet walks in and looks right at the Miss and he says M he ignores the whole multitude of people speaks directly to the m and he says on you will be burnt the bones of all those who are offering sacrifices in this Temple and he says and an indication that I speak the true word of Hashem that this altar will now split and the ashes because there was fire already on the Altar for the wood that was burning the ashes will scatter and sure enough the altar splits the ashes scatter and you says seize that man and his hand becomes paralyzed he can't retrieve his hand and he begs the you a Nai to pray to Hashem so that he can retrieve his hand and a Nai does but in other words this is what EuroVan benot said I'm going to make this not galarian but I'm going to make it open to all of Israel anybody who wants to offer a sacrifice can offer a sacrifice well you can just imagine when he's dedicating his Temple this great event takes place and boom it's destroyed there's no celebration Everybody's scared to death what's going on the spoke about tonight reminds me of two other perhaps many other inces dealing with let's see for example as could have Mar could have been a whole different situation that happened and also right he pushed with two hands not bringing close or pushing away push with both hands right it's interesting there's an interesting thing about ASA I mean I must say this you know um yakov's daughter Dena gets raped you all you're all familiar with that story it happens right after yakob um meets up with asov and of course yakob sends all these gifts to asov and and he had and he splits his his M he splits his family into two cams and they all come and they all bow down to as and they're all begging as for forgiveness or y's begging as for forgiveness maybe he will forgive me Etc and um the mfor say actually it's the med says that yakob took Dena and put her in a box so that asov would not see Dena because he thought if ASA would see Dena he'd want to marry her now this Dena obviously is a most charismatic probably most beautiful most powerful person she is able to have the entire sh the city of sh circumcise themselves you know how hard it is for pagans to circumcise themselves they're not8 days old now fellas they are adults and they're circumcising themselves because they want Dena to be their Queen to be the princess to marry the King's son so you can imagine what kind of Charisma what kind of power Dena had and so the me says Not only was sh affected but if Dena had been outside of this box and walked approached ASV and ASV would have seen her he would have married her he would have taken her says the um Torah to MIMA so why didn't yob allow Dina to encounter ASA and let a Dina who obviously so powerful she would have reformed ASA says the Torah to MIM yakob did not want ASA to be reformed a very Brazen torima and because of that the G will not allow the torima the to be in his in the base Med because because of that that's that's the legend but but um but anyway you see that there are people that have this power well I don't know how I got into that oh because you mentioned shuin praka the story is about Jesus supposedly I'm not sure who exactly but it was another charismatic figure and um he was um somewhat of a rebel and um he was raising issues that thought were endangering the Jewish people because of his advocacy of Revolt you know there was um other revolts in that time too RAB aaet Revolt uh the Bara Revolt there was a Revolt in the in the second temple in the time of Y Zak so the Jews were afraid that um this person whoever he might have been some attribute him to be Jesus that he was so charismatic and he was um advocating Revolt he was endangering the Jewish people and so they drove him out of the B medish and Rua bin praka was his rebi and the gorah says that if rabu bakia would have pushed him away with his left hand and draw and drawn him closer with his right hand he could have he could have returned him to good but instead he was so fearful of of the conse quences of this man's actions he pushed him out with both hands and that's the the the rest of you know the Steve Harvey would say and you know the rest of the story so um who would offer his daughter to to or let yesu speaks in his sh or or some Len Jewish history has proven that what was done better than who who history has proven that what was done was right yob did not let Dino marry ASU did drive away um let's say it was Jesus I don't know if it was or it wasn't and um let's say we see here what moshu um the consequences of what happened in his time um the says that just tells you how precious every Jew is and how careful one must would let his daughter marry this Ben his mother was saying about because he killed his father by the zor the father was the MIT that mosha killed they turned him into Power because they thought he will they will be in trouble so does very yeah it's not a simple case not a simple case nothing simple but you have to find accommodations for all Jews that's that's the final lesson of this story don't be so quick to throw somebody out of the camp don't be so so quick to distance our ourselves from other Jews they may have some differences with us we have differences with them but we are all part of am Israel we need to work together and find ways of uniting all of us and in in that's really the bottom line the unity of Israel is Paramount that's that's the message really thank you for listening have a good evening
