hi welcome to the para and five we're in
five minutes we try to give you insight
into the
paraa suitable for framing we uh talking
about Pas emor now Andor kohanim we
learned about the kohanim and we learn
about all the special laws of the
kohanim and the things that they do and
the things that they get and all kinds
of nifty things like that but you know
not everyone can play some people are
disqualified HH they are a Coen balum
and they have a defect it could be a
unibrow it could be that they left
handed yeah whatever it could be their
Mican arm yeah but they're balum and
therefore they don't get to participate
so what did the Bal mum do well the
balum when their uh time came to work in
the B Mikes they went into the wood room
you don't need a kosher cohain to do
that Cohen who's able to do the aod they
would examine the wood that was going to
be brought up on the mbak to make sure
that there were no wormholes in
them um okay it's not up there with
catching the D and the mrock it's not up
uh bringing the pieces of the carbon up
on the
M it sure ain't offering up thear but
it's a job that needs doing and a person
does
it so listen to a
mum that describes a cohain BAL and
that's how he's described there was a
cohain
BAL and he was working in the L woodro
and he figured out where the uron was
hidden because he noticed that one of
the
tiles were different from all of the
other tiles Iles and he says oh my gosh
I know where the Aron is
hidden one of the tiles is
different and before he could say where
it was he
died
now there were hundreds of Kahan in the
room before him hundreds of kah him in
the room after him nobody noticed a
different tile
because he defined
himself by his
handicap he was a cohain BAL
mum and he thinks to himself yeah yeah
I'm just a BAL
mum I don't get to do the real aod in
the Bas of mikdash I'm just sort of here
in the wood room looking at these
wood yeah cuz that's all I'm good for
because I'm a cohain BAL it wasn't
necessary to imagine he was a Cohen
balum you could just have said he was a
Cohen in the in the
woodro but he saw himself as different
and because of that he saw everything as
different and he was the only one who
noticed the one imperfection in the tile
that was different from all the others
because since I see myself as a balum i
see everything as a
b and therefore when you see yourself in
a negative light you thereby extend it
to everybody around you hence the kazal
tell
us if I call someone an evid it's
probably because I'm an evid if I call
somebody an am it's probably because I'm
anit it's the it's my own defects that I
project onto other
people if a person has a positive
outlook on
life there a story in the first Chicken
Soup for the Soul and this guy who gets
into a motorcycle accident and becomes a
quadriplegic and they say he was always
a very happy guy and he says how could
you be so happy and he says I used to be
able to do 20 million things now I can
only do two million things so I could
focus on the 18 million things I can't
do or the the two million things that I
can do he refused to see himself as a
BAL he saw himself as doing what he
could with the abilities that he had and
so each one of us should celebrate our
own K and greatness instead of focusing
on where we fall
short everyone should have a good shabas
