Parshas Shemini: Voluntary Fire - Immature Perfection

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com okay as we prepare for thek says in which is each took their pan and they place the fire in it and they place in it and they were they brought a a foreign fire a foreign fire and that is the simple meaning of why were killed because they were and the so if I were to ask why were punished the simple meaning is because they were M they were Mak and first question is why were they we're talking about we're talking about people who in a way they're even holier than because when thought it was going to be him and it turned out to be so what were they thinking how could they even have the audacity these are what was their what were they thinking and yet if you look in the medish the medish gives entirely different reason as to why they died look at number two were going first were following them and the rest of the Jews after them and they said they said one of these two old guys going to die already against will be able to take over so first of all that's not the says the says they were m inar a foreign fire and the med says that they were following M and saying hey one of these one of these leaders going to die already and we'll take over so first of all it's a Ste second all like you asked these are certainly they valued every moment they had with M and A they would give up their lives to for M so what does it mean exactly that they were awaiting and anticipating the deaths of M and we find the third reason why they died in they were so they were so attached their soul cleav to God that their souls just left their bodies you know they say about the the rebas the shis they had to hold on toi lest their souls leave their body in a in a moment of spiritual uh Jubilation and that is exactly what happened too to like we had in the from the what does it mean told secrets of the that his soul wasp his soul left his body and that's what happened to so first of all we really have three reasons why they died one is what it says in the P that what that they brought an a zar two what it says in the medish that they're waiting for M to die and three that their souls CL cleave to their God and therefore their souls left their body and how do we understand these in light of the fact that these were okay so we have we begin with an introduction from are going to stop simply no more MIT you don't have to come here you won't have to come to share anymore you could eat whatever you want you could do whatever you want that's but that's not what it means you still have to come to sh you still have to come to share says look at look at number nine on the second line that when comes comes we're going to keep theah like so by the way I just want to point out the in the he points out that does not say this it's actually the RV that says this so I know you're probably wondering I I don't remember was ever saying such a thing so you're right it's the RV but says what is what is what Doan that doesn't everybody know it's greater to do something when you're commanded than to do something voluntarily do something disc at your discretion in fact say number six May in the beginning at first I thought that if anyone says that a blind person is is is make a big because I'm blind and I do it anyway because I used to think it's better to do MIT voluntarily I'm not commanded but now that I heard that says if anyone tells me that is not like make so what then does the mean that will do like but it's better to do when says wow what a you ready for this why is it better to do when you're does anybody know right why is it that only you know women want to put on F and women want to learn try to get guys to come to air it's like pulling teeth women they love to come to Shir why cuz doesn't bother they don't have to come see doesn't interfere but men the interferes with so it's very hard to get them to come it's much right what women love to D because they don't have to D with a minion a man get a man to come to a minion that's a much bigger a I know okay a much bigger to get a man to come to minion right so he says look in says number seven one who's commanded and he does as much better why because he's always worried and he's always at pain maybe he is going to violate in other words the a Sahara is starting up with him theara why is someone who's greater because he has to deal with theara he has to fight theara he has to fight thear actually that's not exactly what T says but I believe that's what the rvah says say when there's no when like says in we learned this on Wednesday God G then you're better off being why is greater is greater because is fighting with you is starting up with you the is interfering you have to overcome thear when God's going to the then then we go back right if I would ask you before if you would know anything who's greater or you would think logically you know what's better if your mother has to ask you to take out the garbage or you do it on your own you do it on your own that means you really want to do it the only thing is the logic that the is going to start up with you is a more powerful more powerful argument so therefore bottom line is in reality is greater when there's no greater and that's what will doesn't mean be will be like look at number nine look on the third line why would God take away from us that Perfection that we're going to be really should be greater why is greater because starts up with you but there's not going to be therefore is by the way we have a similar idea in the was the you know the father of uh the progenitor the father of the patriarch of sat in times of he writes in number 12 like this say shabas that when CL said AAS went out and said said who revealed to my children the secret that the and the also say right they say question what's how's it possible to have no no no no no mean that we won't fulfill them as be they'll be they'll still be he didn't mean there won't be MIT he meant we'll only fulfill them as that's what he meant so we know whenas came out and said who stole the secrets of the anybody know why first we'll do and then we'll listen do you know what nishma means nishma means that first we're going to do it before we're commanded and then we'll be commanded NASA we'll do it and then we'll hear the command as if to say first we'll do it as and then we'll do it as how could you first put because they're they don't have a oh they don't have for them is greater than that's why they first say and they then they say so why did because this was before the at when received the the world reverted back to where there's no right we know that God got rid of the Yahara God that's why the Yahara is now out of their system he's busy in sh causing all kinds of trouble but he's out is out of a job oh there's no now we understand everybody wants to know why did CL say because this was when the world reverted back to the when they were going to live forever when there was no it's like the times of so what were thinking why were they how are they allowed to drink wine going into the says this okay number 13 don't make the widespread mistake that they actually brought a forign fire someone the equivalent that God said about them I'm going to be Sanctified with my holy ones How Could You attribute to them such a terrible error you can't even attribute this sin to a little kid let alone talks about right they all they started entering Realms of spirituality they started bordering getting very too close to God so to speak and three of them were punished but their cavana was to come close to Hashem theana of was similar to the kavana of thean they were trying to get closer to hasem than mankind is allowed to that's the union of the is Zar now we don't really have a explanation AR is not really explaining or it's not something we understand but the AR is saying it's not that God told them not to bring the fire and they were a no this was like the biggest sadik in the generation probing Mysteries of the universe that maybe they should not have so says look at number 14 they were after big time you know what they wanted to do they wanted to rectify the sin of their their work was very great and you know what their only hate was that God never told them not the time yet to correct the sin of AD marish but they were at their discretion voluntarily trying to correct the sin of adish and their problem was their a was they were never commanded to do so you know why they said when are M and Aon going to die because they knew M andon are teaching Tyra for the generation of reality for the generation of this world M was not going to be allowed into is so therefore their kavana was when Inu and iron going to die so we could bring the world to the next level it's not that they you know oh you know when are we going to get the job ready when am I going to take over I want the position no they had very spiritual cavanos their cavan was when can they be eligible to rectify the sin of adish so how do they do it the first thing they do is they drink wine drinking wine that's AA you're not allowed to drink wine when from the what kind of tree was the some say it was a fig some say it was a esrog nobody says it was an apple except for Steve Jobs but right the gamar says ra says it was wine it was a geen why look at number 15 it was a wine it was a Vine there's nothing in this world that brings tragedy except for wi the also says of him he squeezed grapes now listen to the following you know why you're not going to enter the bikash with having drunk wine so listen to this when you're about to drink wine what do you say why do you [Music] say of because what happened when Adam drank wine it brought me so we say you know we don't have the same intentions right now we want to bring who says this look at number 17 on this don't drink wine you drink too much it brings embarrassment kiss here let's skip down look you'll be bitten like a snake because of the wine that drank at his marriage and everyone screams out right so says because wine brought that's why whenever we drink wine we say and then goes through all the tragedies that occur through history because of because of wine so says Hashem because wine is so tragic and it brings me that's why you're know to drink wine when you enter the M but thought they're going to be they thought they already brought the world back to the original tick so once the world is reverted back to original tick and no one's going to die anymore then you're alled drink wine when you enter the mikdash what's T saying why can't you drink wine when you enter the mikdash because of the but they thought they corrected the sin of Adam so that they could drink wine and if they could drink wine and they did correct the sin of Adam so they don't have to be because that was own that was that's a big deal to that conclud look at number 19 says what was the they thought they brought the world back to I could drink wine I could bring in that they did the action before the command ah look in look at number 18 this from the he says that's said they entered drunk they thought they already corrected original sin and then it's M for them to drink wine we learn from here how involved were in trying to bring the the ultimate ton the ultimate G especially they thought this happened on the day the the mishon was set up the Mish is mish it's AAP for theel so they figured once the a is they'll revert back to life when the Torah was given preal when they don't have to they thought they're in the world of so look at number 20 he says now we understand what k mean that they were hoping they were anticipating the death of M it's not that they couldn't wait to take the job and take the position but they were like this andon represented a state in the world of like the P says Tyra I forgot to mention the first year is the gatria 101 that's 101 buta represents but they were waiting for the time of so it's all one sin the sin was they were anticipating the of the the eventual rectification that's so they were hoping that's not that they wanted to die they wanted that they were waiting the they thought it came so they brought in the they were drinking because they thought they rectified the sin ofish and that is why us how do we explain what says they died because their souls clung to God they were so holy so for this you have to see another comment of and he says like this he says how should a person perform a Mitzvah should you do a Mitzvah right how should you do a Mitzvah with such thirst and to the point where your Soul's going to leave the body so we have to give up my life no don't worry if you do a Mitzvah the Mitzvah has a scho the scho of the Mitzvah is don't worry if you do the mitzah properly because you were commanded Hashem protects you nothing will happen but they thought they reached the point of the they were doing it why they were doing it as an they did aah oh you don't have the protection of anymore and therefore their souls departed when they were doing this of coming close to so it comes out all the all the all the various reasons are really come down to one point like the AR says were trying to rectify the sin of Adar they thought they achieved it they are anticipating the death of M Aron ushering the world into a new into a new era therefore they figure the only reason now to drink wine is because brought because of but now they corrected it they could drink wine there and ultimately their souls left their body and they were not protected by the take care of yourselves you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by tor anytime.com
