Hi, this is the para in five where in
five minutes we try to give you a little
insight into the para and we're going to
focus this week on parava the big day
kahuna and
explains it's also
that the big day kahuna each one of the
was made to bring forgiveness for
different sins and it goes through what
the different sins are and it says the
miel heel, which is this poncho made out
of solid blue with little bells and
little balls on the bottom of it so that
when you walk it jingles.
Yeah. The miel gets forgiveness for the
sin of lash and har. Why? Because let
the begged that makes noise get kapora
for the sin that is caused by making
noise which is of course lashar. So how
exactly is the miel? I understand it
makes noise but what's the relationship
the and the malim both sort of explain
this idea and that is the following. A m
is a begged that is specifically
for important people. A male is a
begged.
You see this by that has a miel. You see
it by a mel that he has a m. A m is a
beed. I remember seeing a sign years ago
that said great people speak about
ideas. Average people speak about
things. Small people talk about other
people cuz that's all that they can
think of. Yeah. And it's sad,
but it's true. People who feel good
about themselves don't have to put other
people down.
If the only way you can build yourself
up is by attacking other people and
speaking about them and trying to make
them look bad and embarrass them in
front of other people, it doesn't say
much about you. It must be you have so
little to offer that the only way that
you can feel important is by putting
other people down.
So therefore, the real cure for lush and
hurah is lush and tove. Speak well.
So what do I do?
I give you a miel. This is a very
important baguette because you're a very
important person.
And I put little bells at the bottom of
your baguette. And in between I put
little They're not called little balls.
They're called little remmon
pomegranates.
Why? Because there's a tradition that a
pomegranate has 613 seeds. I don't know
if this is true or not. I had a daughter
who used to try every year to count and
somebody would always eat one of them
and it would always turn out poorly. But
I don't know. I have never counted it.
But that's the tradition. It has 613
seeds.
It's filled with mitzvah.
You know how you ring the bell? Bang
into a pomegranate.
If the noise that you make is coming
from tarag mitzvah, if the noise that
you're making
is coming because you're doing something
good,
you'll find it's so much nicer to say
good things about people than bad things
about people. And people who make that
effort to say good things, they're able
to change the world.
I've told this story before. I don't
know if I've told in the parish five,
but it's one of my favorite stories
because I have an older brother, Gdalia,
who's one of my heroes. And he was once
at Davening and these two guys are
talking through the Korea satire.
And he says, "Please, I can't hear the
Ka." And they said, "Okay."
And a minute later, they start talking
again. And he says to them, "You're
coming to Shaw. You want to do a
mitzvah. Why would you sit here and talk
through the laning? And they said, "No,
no, you're right." And a minute later,
they start talking again.
So, so I got upset. Now, when an Olavski
gets upset, that usually means something
different than this story. That's why I
say my he's he's one of my heroes.
[snorts] He looked at them and he said,
"I'm a cohen." And in this of you not
talking during the deting, I give you a
bra. You should get a large perna this
year.
And they stopped talking.
At the end, one of them said, "You think
all I care about is money?"
To which I would have said, "Obviously,
it was the only way I could get you to
be quiet." [laughter]
But my brother said, "No, I just know
that a person like you would know how to
use the parnosa that a bar gave you
for."
The person walked away feeling so
hushive and so good about himself that
it allowed him to walk away and feel
like a mench.
Let us stop speaking lash and hurah by
speaking lushian to good chabas.
