Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Bo 5779

[Applause] it's time for rabbi Minko it's weekly Torah lesson here with his spiritual perspective and insight rabbi Mingo it's welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion sparsh is boho the question the week is what our spiritual garments so in this week's Torah portion washes what we learn about the Jewish people getting ready to leave Egypt and God tells them they should bring the Paschal Lamb and they should bring it on the 10th of the month now the question asked a tenth we don't need until the 14th yb9 lieutenant-commander 13th why did why the tenth so Rashi says because the Jewish people were naked from its vote they had no meat salt we know mixed vote our garments and they had no Mitch vote so God told them to bring it on the on the 10th but the question is why the tenth we look any more interesting not only they bring it on 10 God wanted me to mix votes what are the two meats vote one is the blood of the plastic lamb and the second thing is circumcision and the question is why both if you need to make it 3/4 and it why is it one enough and let me explains as follows there's two types of mitzvah generally speaking there's the positive Commandments and there's negative Commandments the positive Commandments give us positive energy and the negative keep us away from negatives so God wanted us to have both mitts vote the positive and the negative so you picked for the positive circumcision because that involves blood so there's a passion we're doing positive mitts vote and to represent the negative mitzvot which is to stay away from idolatry he picked the blood of the Paschal Lamb which that inspired us to stay away from hold a negative mixed fault now why four days before because since as Rashi says that we were so consumed idolatry we had to go through almost like a four day marinating process where we were standing strong for four days that we are proclaiming the idolatry of Egypt which unfortunately was many of the Jewish people's idolatry as we're staying away from idolatry and we did that for four days and this made us strand strong that were going with gods the answer the question what our spiritual garments spiritual garments are positive myths votes and negative mix vote and we do positive it's what we create beautiful garments for us when we stay away from negative Commandments we don't transgress them you make sure all our garments are beautiful and we have a great relationship with them thanks for joining us this week's Torah lesson is dedicated in the memory of Barak Benari liebe and ven Yosef may their souls be elevated by the Torah was studying in their memory for more information please see our website [Music]
