ALL PARSHA - The Chasam Sofer on Parshas Beha'aloscha

[Music] and welcome everyone to a special edition of all paras. I'm very excited to share with you an amazing approach of to the mitzvah of the manoyra as well as an understanding of the man which will give us a important area of namely the says rashi learns that means all the nero the six exterior nero were supposed to be tilted toward the ni rashi says rash The tops of the wicks were all turned to the middle wick so that people shouldn't say that the light was needed. So in other words, this was to minimize the light so that it should not be said that the light was needed. Similarly, the Gmorrah in Shabas says, "Did God need lightbar? We walked by the light of God in tries to explain what's the issue with increasing the light in the mikdash. Why was the light supposed to be minimized?" says if a person wants to have a perception of what is taking place in the shamayim in the spiritual world then one can do so by directing his thoughts to the shamayim but in order to do so one has to close their physical eyes you know sometimes a person thinks and learning and wants to be and somehow they instinctively close their eyes says to have an understanding and perception of what's taking place in the spiritual realms. One has to have their eyes closed. Says every person has in their anus spiritual eyes with which one can perceive kaduca. However, what interferes with one's perception of kaduca? The physical eyes interfere with one's perception of kadusha like my says on the when their eyes were open they understood that they were not clothed. The the hafla introduces an amazing idea, an amazing concept that a person has two sets of eyes and they work work. Conversely, the more one closes their physical eyes to the allors of this world, the more their spiritual eyes are open wide to perceive Hashem's hand in the world to perceive spirituality. says I've already spoken about this on the more one blocks out their physical their says the impediment to spiritual recognition is one's physical vision. Therefore commands Aaron Aaron is the one who illuminates for the Jewish people through his aid through his that when he lights the n he should minimize the light minimize the physical seeing in order to maximize spiritual perception. The intro uh amazingly uses this idea to explain the gar that says that when a child is he's able to see but his eyes are closed. Exactly. Because his physical eyes are closed. That's why his spiritual eyes can perceive the entire universe. The moment he's born and his physical eyes are open, the perception stops says in the next paragraph with this we could understand how the man was a preparation for you see the man had no physical appearance. It was it was clear it had no physical. It did not give enjoyment. It did not allow one to indulge his sense of physical sight. Therefore, it promoted and it magnified the and that's why that through that was completely removed from physical it opened up the and it helped. So this is an amazing understanding and presentation of this phenomenon that we're unaware of that we have a set of spiritual eyes and when one is presented then with a challenge in Shirim one could think that Hashem is giving you an opportunity he wants you to see him more recognize him more understand the Torah better and by blotting out the physical vision it allows the spiritual vision to soar. May we all be to see wishing everyone a wonderful shamus.
