6:15 p.m. if you're in the if you're in the par WhatsApp group will remind you there we have the privilege of reading page 568 in the or stone God spoke to Moshe command and his sons this is the law of the the elevation offering this is the elevation offering that stays on the flame on the altar all night until the morning and the fire the flame of the altar should be a flame should burn on it consistently the simple understanding of this p is it's referring to the Corban the corbon we have different types of corbas some were eaten some were consumed entirely on the altar the corbon Ola was consumed was all gav was consumed entirely on the altar by hasem but I want to share with you ANC it's a very long we won't read the whole thing inside but I want to share with you because it's very much relevant it feels very much relatable and it feels very much uh what we are going through in our time we can relate to on this this is the law this is the Torah of the says the following says on a on a level of a remes the level of a hint and illusion you can see this whole para this introduction in this law of the Corban is referring to the G it's referring to our present and final Exile in this paragraph This P this section of the Torah that is giving us encouragement Z Tor this is the law the Torah this is our M our tradition and our law of the is trying to comfort us it's giving us from the depressing condition our soul finds itself in because every soul every Jew when we think about for one moment we reflect on how long this gas had lasted we refuse to be comforted when we see this Exile as interminable we're in need of comfort because how does it compare to the other Goos how does it compare to the other Exiles that we experienced he says was 400 years B 70 years and today the is writing couple hundred years ago and he says already in his time the time of this gas of Edom the godess of christom this gas that we still find ourselves in is 1,672 years that was then now we're over 1900 years now we're over 1900 years and it's not just the gas it's not just that we're Exile dispersed across the world and of course in our time we're living in the modern Miracle of the ability to return home to go back to our land and all of us should be thinking about as we wrote about recently not if but when we put our destiny and our lot in our homeland but even there of course October 7th is a harsh reminder of the gas that exists even within the land of Israel how much longer do we have to wa when a person is looking and longing until the end of all generations so was trying to encourage us how did he do it through our leaders and who are our leaders Aon the Coen and his children how is he encouraging us that this is the law of the the word zos is an exclusion that there is no other Ola like it so what's the he references a from so the word zos is an exclusion the people that to be aware that there will not be an Aliyah an Ola in a scent comparable to the one mentioned in this P which is us who is it that ascends from the desert the ones who were burnt on the site for burning on the altar B says this is two specific things first we are knowledable in Torah T we learn we study Torah it categorizes us it distinguishes us we are entirely different from the Gentile from the nations of the world we're Guided by Torah we have access to hashem's blueprint his instruction manual his diary we know and we are empowered how to navigate this world but B it means something else say we have endured many afflictions both by being in Exile and by being Indigent impoverished poor what does it mean Torah is comparable to a fire he quotes and corresponding with the gas the Exile we find ourselves in describes on the altar because the the terrible tragedy and Calamity and crisis and suffering and catastrophes that the Jewish people go through that is similar to on the on our afflictions our sacrifices on the Altar and we see this in the language of our and how long will we have this so how does the p continue this is the law of those who are the Jewish people who rise up because we learn Torah in the Exile the sacrifices on the altar of History the martyrs the kados the Jewish people and the suffering but how long will it go all night says it goes the whole night means like the Watchman what of the night Watchman what of the night it's a reference to the duration of the Exile and it will last until the morning and then he calculates when is this and he says this is will take place the first 500 years of that day are part of the night we cannot expect the asent and time during the later 500 years of the sixth Millennium that we find ourselves in and here the says basically he says this Exile has been overwhelming has been unbearably painful everyone we face just when we think that we're starting to see a glimpse of the light the darkness descends Upon Us in October 7th a Slaughter in their beds of men women children of hostages that are taken of wars and battles that we still fight we're in the six Millennium the last Millennium till Messiah will come we're still being offered the Jews are still being literally and figuratively burnt at the stake those who've seen Bal these other cities you don't have to go to Poland anymore to see Jewish martyrdom and kosim you see burnt homes you see the remnants of murdered burnt people Alm the throughout the night of this exile until we will I don't know exactly when it will be says it's really going to be in the second half of the six Millennium he's writing a couple hundred years ago but we're living it now that Dawn is about to rise that alah were going to rise because this Gus is meant to last this amount of time and he goes on and he describes exactly what's going to be and how hasem is going to take revenge and avenge us he says the fire of the altar will be kept burning Torah informs us when the Dorn of that morning finally looms when the ader when the Boer when the dawn of the G Messiah will come when we'll defeat our enemies the dawn of that morning hashem's anger will burn and consume all those who have tortured us and especially right star the Western Nations the Christians and their Inquisition who tortured Spanish jewry and the other Western Nations and the United Nations and those who pass resolutions and those who abstain from resolutions the fire of the altar that fire that consumed us through K throughout the darkness and the night of the Exile that fire will turn it will consume and it will destroy and hisa and Iran it will consume and it will destroy our enemies and those who distort Justice and those who don't stand with the victim and those who turn on Israel and the Jewish people and those who don't have pity on us Hashem will turn and will punish them the mystical Dimension is included in t which is related to it's a long long comment of the it's meant to give us some sense of a hope and optim optimism and a faith in a brighter future and the is writing a long time ago but the is writing to all of he's writing to this Gus that we feel we're in you know we had a 75y year reprieve from this Gus because the Jewish the nations of the world had a certain level of pity after the Holocaust but it's return the anti-Semitism that's raging around the world the double standard the duplicitousness the abandonment of the Jewish people it's all returned and this isn't something new we shouldn't be reacting to it incredulously like we don't understand where is this anti-Semitism coming from and how could they behave this way it's exactly the opposite namely this has been our 2,000 year history and we had a little break we had a little reprieve and it's back to the way it's always been we're back to that period we thought we had the Boker the the and we do and we're grateful for it in many ways which we don't take for granted but even within that Asal Thea what feels like the beginning of the Boker we saw the light before the dawn but the Lila were back in the night the lived 1696 to 1743 lorno Italy and subsequently in he was buried in yush 1696 to 1743 he's writing this and here we are now 2024 and and it feels like we're deep back in the darkness of the Lila of the K but we need to know that Z that we will rise we will rise and when we do then Isam is Bo the light of that fire will turn on them the very people who carried out and practiced these injustices against us it will turn on them is writing 250 years ago but he's writing for us today because unfortunately and tragically this is the Jewish story this is the Jewish condition and this continues okay the to here is talking about the of taking out the trash the Trum we' spoken about this many times before I lost the cover of my microphone okay whatever it is sorry under under the left foot oh there it is okay thank you he's writing about the Trum sades the taking out of the garbage we've discussed this at length in the past so we won't elaborate but the idea of taking out the holy garbage is a holy Mission he put on special and holy clothing and that's what the LA I got the new volume thank you R for sending it I'm VRA and here the says the following and his new safer the co who takes out the ash the trash of the previous Corban before the new day before the new aod and we talked about you know the trash is an unusual way of taking out trash you didn't just take the garbage right to the curb first they put it next to them is and then removed it why because before you could offer the sacrifice of today you have to pause and remember the sacrifice of yesterday before you could think about your trials and your travails and your tribulations before you think about the sacrifices you're asked to make we pause and we remember and we think about the sacrifices of all those who came before it's it's next to the we're not the first same as the we're not the first to experience AA the darkness of an exile that lasts through the night we remember says rash the idea that the co changes his clothing to take out the trash the ash is not an obligation it's basic the big the clothing of The Safaris this glorious clothing the uniform the coin's going to wear he shouldn't soil it he shouldn't get it dirty by taking the ash out in it because you cook then change your outfit to serve to eat so that's why the co wore inferior clothing it might get dirty taking the garbage out and then change back for the aod say Torah tells us when the coin brings the after he takes out the ash he changes his clothing and Rashi tells us why not an obligation basic Rashi adds based on and gave this mush this Parable when you cook why do people wear an apron because when they cook they get dirty so if you're going to get dirty when you cook don't wear that same thing when it's time to serve similar here similar here after you're going to clothing's going to get dirty don't wear it however say we really have to dive into this a little bit further if the whole reason the coin's changing his clothing is in order to keep them clean why are we making a suggestion don't want your clothing to get dirty for when you're going to bring the carbos so change out of your clothing while you're taking out the garbage why give us suggestions why give a strategy why not just give a rule you can't serve don't do the aod in soiled dirty clothing and then it's not doesn't take such a super genius to realize if you can't serve in dirty clothing don't get your clothing dirty so why not give us the command why not give us the command moreover rash says should take out the garbage in inferior clothing why does the clothing that one takes the garbage out need to be inferior why can't he wear equal clothing you love your equal clothing designated for taking out the the ash garbage equal clothing that's clean for doing the aod why can't the clothing be equal you'll have many pair of the same clothing why does it have to be has to be inferior to take the ash out so in order to understand this we have to understand the test tells us the following there explains that would prepare for and the tells us he had special clothing to prepare cook for shabas black clothing he saved his clean clothing for to honor the shabas and he wore specifically dirty clothing to prepare for shabas the tells us this would be he would Adorn himself with beautiful clothing and go through a long list of the great rabis and how they prepared so why do you need a because if he didn't have it his clothing would get dirty the other practices of the great rabbis they prepared the fish they cut the vegetables they made the chicken soup they mapped the floor he wore dirty clothing One Was preparing for shabas and one was not getting shabus clothing dirty how could you compare the two how could you compare the two so say you know the comparison you could understand the following the whole idea of the Gunda was chabas just like cutting off the head of the fish just like shopping just like mopping the floor is all covered shabus preserving clean clothing for chabas making sure you go to the dry cleaner getting ready and thinking about chabas on air of chabas shining your shoes all of that is also so similarly here the whole idea is not that you're big kuna don't get dirty it's that you have clean big Daya to honor and Elevate the aod so if it weren't inferior clothing that you wore then you wouldn't be creating the contrast in order to honor and Elevate the aod in clean clothing and that is why says there is this notion of wearing this other clothing because part of the part of the Fulfillment of honoring by wearing the clean garment was to not only not only not get it dirty but preserve clean in order to do the aod there's an AR turn Friday into Arab shabas message here which is it's not just a strategy an aab chabas a person's already thinking about are my shoes polished has anyone gone to the dry cleaner do I have clean clothing not just I don't want to get it dirty on AR of shabas what are we doing to preserve and protect and ensure that there's the most honorable clothing to honor shabas which is chabas is in time with the mikash is in space all of us are Kohan shabas like the serve in the in the mikash Turn the Page here in this context we're told that the flame that burned on the could never go out it burned all the time says if a person extinguishes the flame on the M they violate two prohibitions you can't ever put out the flame on the m the mission teaches us that there were 10 Miracles that happened in the B mikdash every day 10 Miracles and one of them was that the fire that burned on the top of the altar there was no canopy there was no covering there was no roof and yet even though it would rain the fire was never extinguished fire was never extinguished that's one of the Miracles in order to fulfill the the fire continuous consistently burned on the now we have to understand why was this miracle done in such a way that the rain didn't extinguish the fire why didn't God make it that it never rained over the altar why was it a more overt miracle that it rained and yet how peculiar this fire and water water usually extin his fire and here it was raining and the fire never went out why didn't God instead make a different Miracle less discernable that it not rain over the not why did it have to rain there but it didn't go out just make it not rain there you know in Florida mon Toya Circle it could sometimes be raining on one side of the circle and sunny on the other side of the circle you're driving and you go from your windshield wipers being on to your sunglasses being on because Hashem has it that it could rain in a distinct special in one place in one backyard on one house over one pool so why didn't hasem make it that it never rained on the M why did he have to make it the miracle was it rained but the fire never went out and the answers it's a powerful message person has to learn from here that the fire in us the fire of our passion of our enthusiasm of our energy the fire of our heart the fire of our soul the fire of our aod the fire of our yishai it could be raining on our fire but we can't ever let it go out because the notion that our fire will never be rained on it's rained on all the time all the time we meet the cynic the sarcastic person we spoke about last shabas amalik saf who tries to insert doubt and uncertainty they try to extinguish our fire there are people that put out our fire there are life circumstances that put out our fire there are disappointments that try to rain on our fire there are all kinds of things that rain on our fire and the answer is not to live and hope that our fire will burn we'll be excited we'll be enthused we'll be energ IED and it will never run into any obstacles that's unrealistic it's going to rain on our fire but our fire has to be so strong the fuel has to burn so great that the fire has to never go out nonetheless because what happens you're on fire you're going into the then it rains on your fire it rains on your fire person got stuck in traffic got a flat tire God forbid you didn't make it so it rains on your fire you've got a string of making it Dom minion you're working hard on yourself in whatever area and then it feels like all of a sudden you're on fire and God forbid a person gets a bad cold person gets sick person is struggling to recover from perum and they think Hashem doesn't hypothetically Hashem doesn't want my Torah he doesn't want my minion attendance he doesn't want my volunteering he doesn't want my health and wellness that I've taken upon myself it's raining it's raining on my fire there are so many obstacles and so many impediments so many things trying to put out my fire we have to learn from the miracle wasn't that rain didn't fall rain fell nonetheless but the fire didn't go out that's how we have to respond and we have to feel every time we run into a wall every time we hit an impediment or an obstacle and it's trying to stop us we made a commitment I'm gonna take on the I'm gonna take on the I'm gonna take on the I'm gonna take on the I'm take I'm GNA take on being patient I'm going to take on whatever it is we're going to work on and then we run into that wall it's raining on our parade it's raining on our fire just like in the Mish just like in the M mikdash the fire has to be so strong it never goes goes out it can never be extinguished not that there's no fire unrealistic but the fire can never go out I've shared many times we're learning and finishing soon the in his per on the and his peric onity and Zeal and enthusiasm says there are two types of alacrity two types of enthusiasm and Zeal you need it at the beginning of a project you want to clean your garage you want to start cleaning for PES you want to take out a new lmod a new learning you want to take out responsibility at the very beginning of whatever pledge or promise we're doing you need that Zeal that enthusiasm that burst of energy you need zus alacrity and excitement and ambition and drive and then the ra everybody thinks that's the only time that you need it and now you're Off to the Races but inevitably and invariably everybody and every project and every ambition you're going to run into a wall you're going to hit that ceiling it's no longer going to feel fun it's no longer fresh and new it's no longer exciting it's no longer internally rewarding and you say ah ah doesn't do it for me anymore I don't really feel like it anymore everything's stacked against me it's no longer easy you're gonna hit that wall and then the writes that's when you need the second burst of his resus keep something in the tank because you're going to need that second burst of resus to run over or around or under and sometimes even through that wall you're going to have to run through that wall that Fire's got to burn so bright that even when it starts to rain that rain can't put out that fire that rain can't put out that fire he elaborates much more he has long essays in this new sa for but we'll leave this Insight right there R has another Insight R says the following the's writing the following H2 a permanent fire has to be lit on the it should not be extinguished it can't ever go out and he writes the following this is in in page 594 it's long a person who wants to draw close to God's Divine Providence to live with it a person has to be modest what does it mean to be cover up is just about dress collar bone and elbows and knees and and Pants versus shorts men wear a shirt if you want to draw close to God you've got to be like God and God isua what does it mean that hem isua what does it mean for God to be modest so points us points us to the 132 writes the following this mitvah there's a Mitzvah it's Mitzvah number 132 in the 6 T Mitzvah 132 is that the fire burns on the Altar and never goes out how do you ensure that the fire never goes out you have to keep adding wood so wood is added in the morning and wood is added in the afternoon now this is very peculiar why because on the one hand the is now trying to reconcile on the one hand this is a Heavenly Fire this is a Divine fire god lights the fire god sustains this fire god ignites the fire and God makes sure the fire never goes out and yet and yet man is instructed man is enjoined you've got to go to the stockpile of wood and keep adding it to the m so if it's the Divine fire if it's Heavenly Fire if it's a fire from above why do we have to go through the motions the exercise of adding to the fire and listen to what the the reason for this mitzvah because when God does Miracles you know how he does them in a hidden fashion in a hidden fashion God always tries to embed and hide his miracles under the cloak in the guise of nature he wants even his miracles to be able to be described or mistaken for just nature it's natural even when it came to the splitting of the sea K orchestrated the splitting of the sea in such a fashion that a person could mistakenly I once read an article New York Times many years ago scientists conjectured that if the wind blew a certain velocity in a certain direction for a certain amount of time it could split a sea soem everything everything even the 10 plagues even the splitting of the sea even the Miracles that we believe in are explainable it would take a leap it's unlikely but they are explainable in nature Hashem embedded he hid his miracles in nature why similarly he said the fire nothing to do with you it's a Divine fire it's a Heavenly Fire comes from above but you know what you add the wood nonetheless why so someone watching will think where's this fire from they keep adding wood it has nothing to do with your wood it's from hasem it's from the heavens it's from above so here that's all the writes that even the most awesome Miracles performed by Hashem were done in a concealed manner it looked like a manifestation of nature a manifestation of Nature and similarly here even though the fire descended from above we added wood from below because even when Hashem reveals himself he makes sure to hide behind the veil of Nature and revola continues continues and that's what he says when the tells us walk modestly with Hashem he's not just telling us to conceal our Good Deeds rather than seek publicity he's telling us to conceal our actions follow in the footsteps of Hashem to be at sanua is not just about dress to be at sanua is to not need to post and publicize and status and share everything happening in our lives is a hides conceals and we're supposed to hide and we're supposed to conceal not every accomplishment not every achievement not every action not every decision not every feeling not every emotion not every experience not everything is meant to be posted and shared and streamed with the world even the Miracles he does he hides and embeds and conceals within nature and for us to be the concept of is not just about dress but it means also to be like Hashem that's thek says with modest comes wisdom and the writes is a virtue attributed to the wise they hear and listen they don't desire to reveal what lies in their hearts not everything has to be shared this quality allows them to live a life WR and this is the life of is living a life of being tanu of being tanu this is what R writes had Mor and this not written to migil in a manner that highlights the various Milestones that occurred over that 12year period most people would have just thought that they were ha Vash happened to disobey Esther happened to be chosen as the quen mor happened to overhear the plot of big it takes a wise person to connect the dots to see that picture and we're living in a generation at a time writes where anything in everything is public people boast and humble brag and share and publish and capture and stream everything that happens but that's not godly if you want to be close to and Merit hashem's Divine protection it means to be like God God is a God is hidden and we have to be able to live in a world of pus in a world where we do things for ourselves and experience things without having to share them with the world if we want there through comes all this is our this fire came from heaven but hem says add wood because I don't want anyone to know it's me the miracle is mine but I want a person to be able to explain it as coming from the wood because why concealed modest humble hidden and that is a message for us to think through everything that we do are we meeting are we meeting that standard also draws on the he writes based on nature has Aus nature the natural world the natural order that which is hidees Hashem from us has a purpose has a mission told us that the whole reason that we add wood to the altar to create the fire is to hide and conceal the miracle to not have it be obvious that it comes from above that it comes from the reason for this is as we explained why does hasem want us to be able to explain it through nature would be the problem what would be the problem is trying to elaborate on the and if we knew that the fire came from above if we knew that Hashem lit it ignited it sustained it and it was able to even even stay lit despite the rain what would be the problem if we knew that Hashem split the sea and brought the 10 plagues and we knew these were Miracles undeniably what would be the problem what would we be missing and lacking what would be overturned we'd have no free will why would we have no free will because Free Will is predicated on the possibility that there's no God if I really have no choice then I'm not choosing if there's only one alternative there's no alternative so what is Free Will comes from my capacity to deny I only have free will when there's a possibility it's not really him but if it's undeniable if it's revealed if it's explicit I have no free will now why is Free Will so important without free will there's no purpose to life Hashem didn't create a world of robots who are pre-programmed to do everything he says we sometimes think wouldn't it be great to have a spouse or children who were robots wouldn't it be amazing every Sunday I could just type in the plans for the week homework make dinner go to bed on time say what I want to hear don't say what I don't want to hear when that be amazing and the answer is it would be miserable in some ways it would be amazing but in many ways it would be miserable because what gives relationships meaning and value and purpose what creates love and loyalty and romance what creates it is the fact that the other party didn't have to put me first didn't have to care about my needs didn't have to compromise or sacrifice and they do and that's what generates this Bond this connection this love that's what makes the relationship is the Free Will that each party could lean in or lean out opt in or opt out and when they lean in that creates a sense of love and the same is true with Hashem same is true with Hashem had these Miracles been revealed undeniable then would it mean anything to have a relationship with him be obvious you'd be too afraid not to too eager for the reward so you'd run to what makes life meaningful is Free Will and what protects and preserves our free will that you can't see him or hear him or speak to him that one can mistakenly think everything is nature and deny that he's here you know if you're driving on the highway and there's a policeman in front of you do you have free will to speed past him and around him or not now technically you could step on the gas pedal technically you could speed around him but I argue you don't have free will in that moment why because when you see him in front of you and you know what will happen the result will be if you go around him your free will for that time is suspended and had we seen God explicitly undeniably our Free Will would be suspended we wouldn't have it true physically we could choose but we wouldn't really have equal opportunities Alternatives presenting themselves so it says the fire is from above but hasm says add the wood why so you won't see the miracle why is it important that the miracle is not obvious and undeniable why is that important because only then do we have free will and why is Free Will important because only then are we in a relationship only then does our life have meaning then it's meaningful to lean in and say I believe it's a miracle I so why is that guy adding the wood he's adding the wood but he doesn't need the wood wood or no wood the fire comes from above it's from hasem then it's meaningful when we opt in even though we didn't have to even when we could have opted even when we could have opted out moving on to the went we began with us even in the darkness of this G of this night we're going to be the Ola we're going to rise when it will be Boer and and then that fire will turn on our enemies and now we move over to the corbon the corbon the Torah tells us here sorry Aon and his sons will eat what is left of it it should be eaten unleavened in a holy place in the in the courtyard of the tent of the meeting that's where they that's where they eat it great Al he has many volumes of toras are from another world oh oh unbelievable I got beautiful videos of his pushan P 20 hours straight he was teaching Torah living Torah learning Torah singing and dancing unbelievable he writ tells us 30 days before a holiday we already begin to learn about ask inquire about that holiday it takes 30 days to transform ourselves to be that vessel that could receive the light of that holiday you cannot trip and stumble into pesak you can't now you'll say of course you can't takes a man to say that because you got to clean you got to come up with your shopping list and your recipes and your menus and your invite and your guests and your forget that I'm assuming you're going away being taken away you're not cooking you're going to your child your child's hosting PES and cooking cleaning so you still say but I have to pack depending if you have kids in shid how many outfits per day you need to wear I'm not talking about any of that forget all of that all of that it means spiritually the Pia is the depth of the issue if we're not beginning to inquire and learn and study and analyze and prepare we won't be a vessel to receive that light takes 30 days it says in our where do you get this from so listen to this Insight listen to this teaching of the mat of the was eaten in a holy place in the courtyard of theen who's the here is an illusion to before P here it's talking about the in the context of the where do you eat the mat that comes with the in the of the but it's really teaching us how to prepare for you have to turn yourself into a courtyard of the a holy place where the mat can be eaten the place where the mat is eaten has to be elevated with a high level of sanctity where is the where is the courtyard of the Holy place that is our heart the mouth for the just like the mat is eaten in theer the courtyard of the so the mat P will be eaten in the in the mouth the of the Holy that is the m of our heart the idea that the mouth is a holy place a holy space the mouth is a holy vessel the that a person's mouth has the status of a vessel of the Mish it's like a vessel of the Mish when we use our lips and our mouth to utter to when you put inside the vessel something holy it makes the vessel holy when we put into our lips Torah we transform we Elevate our mouth to be a a holy vessel for 30 days you know what theod the work we're doing before p is to turn our mouth into a holy vessel so that when it comes P we can eat the mat in the of thead our mouth will be a holy place so you can't spend these 30 days before P God gossiping slandering cursing using profanity wasting words we're Transforming Our mouth with a higher level of self-awareness about our mouth and why is it specifically before PES we're transforming he has a long essay we're barely scratching the surface of reading the whole thing but I'll just tell you one more example of this because and the days leading up to it we're getting ready to rise and climb out of that impure place called mitzraim and Par the magala MOs writes parro the king of Egypt the letters parro are parro used his mouth for horrible abusive verbally abusive decrees parl used his mouth to degrade parl used his mouth for profanity par used his mouth for arrogance parro was the Paradigm of per and what are we going to do on P the mouth that speaks in in that Gus in that Exile the slave can't speak freely the slave has no freedom of speech the slave can't speak in an elevated fashion slave can't speak at all they're silence they're slave and we're going to go from parro the per to celebrate PES the mouth that speaks p is he has a long elaboration as is but that's our mission and mandate but the T about they don't wait for p don't wait for 30 days from now less than 30 days from now don't wait for ER P to start scribbling for theer when do we prepare that's what this p is saying when it's ready to e the mat it has to be in a holy place where the mouth which is similar to the of the we are the we are the where's the the courtyard the mouth turn the mouth into a holy place before you could eat the matah there that's what we have to do to get ready that's why he points out says just like lines up all the star but when you look up at the sky you say really he's organizing the Stars they look random they look like they're everywhere nothing looks organized to me but we have faith so to says similarly all and all the AAS and everything that's organized throughout Shas it's divinely inspired where it is and its place so now what's the first M first of or first happens why does it say why didn't we put it differently why don't we phrase it differently why don't we say it differently and what's the G's conclusion because we're preserving a proper way of speaking because what's the way to prepare for p the to go from the to the P so that's why the first is all about that's why before you can eat the matah it's got to be in a holy place and what's the holy place is the p is the mouth you don't look as excited about this as I am but it's such a beautiful it's a deep deep beautiful idea and it gives us homework tells us what we're supposed to be working on over this over this time rather we went from theb to the corbon Min and then move on to the corbon katas the corbon katas the offer that offer why does it say this is the Torah these are the laws of the teach us if you occupy yourself with the laws of the it's as if you brought the today we don't have a today we don't have so how do we achieve the atonement the repair the damage that led to having to bring a so that's what is teaching that today if we dive in and we learn and we study it's as if we offered the why is this taught here in the and not elsewhere why here it's a bigger here why when it comes to the the eat the sacrifice and the owner the one who offered the sacrifice receives the atonement seems that the atonement depends on as conditional on the not just the offering so maybe it shouldn't work to learn the Tora it's missing it's absent the I'm eating I would think it doesn't work but it does work even here nonetheless but he goes even further of Dr and he says the following is this is not only true with carbonos it's true for that any mitah that you learn about it's as if you performed it writes whoever learns t whoever learns Torah for the right reasons to draw close to hem merits many things and the whole world is worthy just for him so what does it mean he merits many things says he you can't fulfill all no one person can fulfill all 613 why not because you're not a Coen a is in Israel out of Israel a man a woman a get you can't fulfill all the mitzvas so how you're not a CO you're not a you can't fulfill all the Mitzvah how can you fulfill all the MIT what you're to is if you learn all it's as if you fulfilled all of this is what yov told when he went and he says how could yov so boldly and brazenly say I observed all of T mitos how could he the answer is by learning and studying and caring about all of tag it's as if he fulfilled them it's as if he fulfilled them you see this what are we talking about where we going with this so he writes a person who shabas is so full ate too much over shabas no room left can eat should minimally prepare Mal for someone else and minimally at least learn about Mal you're so full you can't eat malava Mala learn about malav Mala where did the get this from you got it from here anytime there's a Mitzvah that you want to do but can't do learn about it and it's it's as if you did it it's as if you did it just like over just like over here okay Sal we got to sneak in some says the following we'll end with two skip all the way to page 582 we're talking here about the consecration of the kohanim the kohanim were designated and elevated and their Consecration and with Moshe the she thing took place mosha took the blood he put it on the corners of and so on mosha took the blood put it on the corners of the altar there's an additional reason for reading before P like contains many descriptions of sacrifices most of the time the Torah describes sacrifices offered by individuals p as the first communal offering represents a shift it thus serves both as a Herald of and a key to the Redemption of the Jewish people it emphasizes the sense of commun among is there's only two positive Commandments in the Torah that must be fulfilled on pain of they are carbon p and bris we can understand the penalty for not observing the Brisa circumcision as the mark of identification of male Jews sets them apart from all other nations but one might ask why the failure to offer the carbon PES carries such a severe penalty P serves the identical function of bris through our history it is more than a single positive commandment it is the of our Collective identity we were slaves in Egypt and many Jews didn't want to leave Egypt hasem commanded Moshe to tell each household to offer the Caron P the only carbon that needs no altar we were commanded to place the Lamb's Blood on the doorposts and lentils and act akin to sprinkling the sacrificial Blood on the corners of the altar this act which demonstrates complete obedience to God is a sign of Faith according to Rashi one only one fifth of the Jewish people left Egypt like the carbon pesak the journey required a leap of faith those who refused to offer the carbon PES showed contempt for hhm's Commandments a lack of faith in Hashem these severe transgressions required a severe punishment kis the carbonos are introduced in par of and completed in sa coinciding with P to emphasize this element of Faith normally we read sa the same shabas shab right before PES it's a leap year so we're off we still have a little while to PES but that is the connection between the two and we'll end at the end of the para very end of the Para here Torah tells us and don't leave the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days until the day when your days of inauguration are completed you have to be inaugurated for a seven day a seven day period don't leave the entrance to the tent of the meeting here we have the proper preparation before we pressed go before we started all the activity and action of the mishan there were days of inauguration orientation there was trial proper preparation is necessary condition for any encounter with Holiness says Sal you cannot experience anything holy without preparing for it for example in the Prelude to receiving the Torah mosha warned the nation be ready for three days don't go near a woman similarly Aon had to submit to a 7even day preparation period prior to the dedication of the Mish the Torah at the end of the before they could begin seven days of preparation every coin god subsequently went through a similar sequester prior to yipper both involved in encounter with Holiness the prohibition of Muk is centered on the need for Preparation among the prohibitions of mukah is food that was not prepared prior to shabas one does not Merit nor is worthy of celebrating chabas unless one prepares for it the ramam states that it's a mitzah to wash one's face hands and feet in hot water air of chabas due to honor shabas one wraps himself in a Talis and sits with his head covered anxiously awaiting the reception of chabas as if you're going to greet a king the Mitzvah is preparing to receive the Torah one simil counts the years before shita and y's preparation Holiness does not not arrive suddenly it comes Only By Invitation inherent in the act of preparation so this the end of the par the preparation that the K have to do before they can inaugurate the Mish are a reminder to us that there is no Holiness without preparation so don't think you're going to encounter Holiness in sanctity whether it's purum the of P whether it's time with someone whether it's daving you can't run in you can't stumble in person has to prepare person has to prepare and be mindful and get ready person has to put in there's no shabas with that air of shabas if you don't have an air of chabas if you're scrambling and running and using the last of your 18 minutes and tripping and stumbling into shabas there's no Holiness of shabas there has to be we spoke about this the bells the the the bells that were on the bottom of the of the co and they were heard when he came into the Kesh when you're going into KES we have to ring a bell within ourselves to wake ourselves up to prepare to get ready there's no such thing as chabas without that first experiencing an Arab chabas and there's no Holiness without preparation of us today have a good day
