Can A Kohein Who Is a Sinner Duchan? Mishna Berura Daf Hashavua Siman 128 Seif 38-39

Okay, welcome everyone. Firstly, as I mentioned yesterday, regards from the holy he's very uh he gets a lot of that we learn every day and being at the kev first of all two very interesting. First of all, you know, on the cover, it says that he did he accomplished great he did everything to honor God, to honor the to honor his people. It was interesting. I noticed the very first words of the Mishna on um the says um because the Mishna says that this is the purpose of man's creation. I want to read to you his words. The Mishabur says on when the Mab says, let me get you the exact words. The says that's what man was created for. Everything was created to honor Hashem which was exact which is exactly sums up the life of so it just struck me that the opening words of the Mishnab are really also if you notice the final words of Mishnab also it's like where the final words of the are there is an Indian to make a Sudam The mish says also to honor the miracle of hem which is how the mish begins. Okay, we're up to and we learned an interesting yesterday that since like the so just like whatever you'd be for for having drunk before the avoid you're not a den for technically it doesn't say you're not a den when you drink but they're compared. Therefore, it's only if you drink a dikus. So, if you drink it in two gulps or you put a little water in it, even though technically it's not less intoxicating, but the manner of drinking is not as much. Okay. And the point that if you drink it in two gulps or you dilute it in such a situation would not be only therefore which is more lenient than it's okay says uh Um it says that that if you drank more than even though it's diluted even if you drank it in many until you sober from the wine says because in such a circumstance You would be in the mdash regarding the parameters of sobering up. This is all regarding wine. Other beverages that are intoxicated. Meni here we have it straight up that if you drink let's say whiskey or bourbon or vodka you are allowed to even if you drink so much that you can't be even though you would not be able to damage and your would be a but you could because is not explains means exactly what we said and is not you're speaking to the people. So you can't speak to God intoxicated. You could speak to your uncle intoxicated. You do it every Tuesday anyway. So why can't you do it by Okay. Unless you've reached the then you are reckoned in many dispute this are the at great lengths and they hold even by other liquids. Any time you are so intoxicated, they say if you're not able to be grape juice, basically wine straight from the barrel that hasn't fermented. in a masher. What about a ken? Because he's so weak, he has to be madesh before Mosaf. So the says he should hear kesh from someone else. What if he has to drink raas to be kesh? So the says, "Okay, drink it in two gulps." The says that our wine definitely is diluted. What about laa grape juice in our time where not only is it not fermented, it cannot ferment? That's a big controversy by the way. Can our grape juice ferment? Cuz if it can't, how in the world could you use it for kdesh? You know, it's it's one thing it it has not fermented, but our grape juice has preservatives in it. you know preservatives prevent fermentation. So there over Pesak um I heard a shir regarding there's a question about grape juice a fundamental question whether it could be used for kdosh why because it cannot ferment meaning not only did it not ferment it cannot ferment the question is that true in other words there might only be enough preservatives to prevent spoilage but possibly Maybe it could still ferment. It's a question. Friday night, I personally do not use grape juice for uh kdosh uh because it's dissa and I don't use it for either. Shabas morning, I do use it. But there there is there is what to discuss regarding the consuous of it. Okay. [Music] Um the says that are not to go to the because of fine let's say the had nothing preventing him from being able to even though he is not punctellious in the performance of mitzvah and are swirling rumors about him that he's not sure it says other sins do do not prevent let's say he's he brings a phone into so it's a big sin and his question whether it's going to work or not but he could still right it's only if he's a murderer he can't but other sins were not going to uh disqualify him says other things mentioned. In other words, let's say he lives with let's say his wife is not careful on let's say um he's not careful which is in most cases still even if the rumors are true he is well known in his wickedness except for idolatry and murder. That's even if he didn't do chuva. However, the primagadum says that's only if he does a but if he's a primadam says is like is like a ra says the reason why sins will not prevent him from dling is because he has a positive command. Every coin has a positive command. Every who is fit to has a positive command to we don't say to a wicked person. We don't say to a wicked person do more wickedness and don't do mitzv meaning just because he did one thing wrong why add insult to injury don't wonder and say don't wonder and say how will the blessing of such a guy help he's an everybody knows he's a sinner Oh, because answers the kahanim are not blessing the people. You're not getting a from the are telling Hashem to be mavar and Hashem is. So you put my name and God in his mercy blesses the Jewish people according to his will. By the way, there's another is Hashem blesses the but there is certainly an understanding that it means Hashem blesses the people. Okay, Rabai, we will pick it up tomorrow in Me. Have a wonderful blessed day. Cult of everyone recording stopped.
