Hi, this is David Alowski. Welcome to
the para in five where in five minutes
we give you an idea to be able to use to
enhance your shabas. And we start a new
safer vikra. And there's an idea right
at the beginning of the safer that I
believe ties in all the way at the end.
How's that for a cliffhanger? Yeah, we
all know this one. The very first word
vayikra is written with a small
alif. And uh that's the way that it was
meant to be written. And um uh the uh
the word could be read
as
vur is a term of endearment like the mal
used var is lion
mikra
tumus right all kinds of bad stuff
associated with it that's why when
hashem comes to bum he
says so uh Mosheru couldn't believe that
a bar wanted to use the term of to him
which was this term of belovedness. So
he made the olive small so if you don't
look closely it looks
like where it just occurs as opposed to
being that close. And what then is the
significance? And the very end in
pari it says you know why all the curses
come because you worked worked walked
with
me sometimes yes sometimes no not a
complete
uh devotion. Yeah. So the difference
between vayikar and vayikra is basically
the
consistency that is inside of it. It
means are you walking with a kesh
sometimes or are you walking with a
kures
always is only if there is that term of
endearment where there's that sense of
loyalty and dedication. That's the
introduction to this safer because this
safer is about corbonosis. And as we
mentioned last year, the word kurban is
mistransated as sacrifice. It is not a
sacrifice. And that's why the kazal say
that he did not tell you to go up into
the mountains and you know capture a
snow leopard. Do not go out and hunt a
Bengal tiger. Yeah. Don't go to Kodiak
Island and get a Kodiak bear. Yeah. Um,
go and in your backyard take a goat, a
sheep, or a cow. Things that are easy
for you to get. The purpose of a is not
to make a sacrifice. It's
to come close. That's a term of
endearment. That a who loves us and
wants to be close. Yeah.
Reverick used to say a girl should not
be mo nephesh to marry a boy in learning
shouldn't sacrifice to support a boy in
learning she should be honored to marry
a boy in learning she should want to do
it because things that we do when we
sacrifice so we grow resentful it's not
something that we want to do it's
something that we have to do and that at
the end of the safer will read lead to
all of the clo the curses.
Why? Yeah, I don't really feel like
doing it. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
That leads to all of the destruction
that we're going to hear
about. And the uh opposite of that is to
walk
with totally and with total um adherence
and total love. So that's the difference
between the and the and this is vayikra.
We talk about the kabono as a means for
us to be able to come close
to. Now we don't have a base mikdash. We
don't have a mishkan. We don't have uh
where we can
find and we don't have the ability to
bring those and it's only by learning
the parios and by saying them over that
we can have some sort of aesha to
through
these as we go
through we should keep our eyes open and
available to remember that this is how
we're going to have that vayikra beloved
ness with Hashem.
