it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with this spiritual perspective and
insight
rabbi megawatts welcome to this week's
Torah lesson this week's Torah portion
is Pontius key seesaw the question of
the week is what is the key to eternal
relationships so in this week's Torah
portion pastors Casey saw we deal with
the Jewish people after they've sinned
with the Golden Calf and now they're
looking for atonement so we find
something interesting when it comes to
the atonement so God tells mulcher of a
new that wanted to see God he said I'm
gonna place you by the sewer which is a
rock and then when I'll pass by and
you'll be in the rock so you see that
God uses the term rock twice when it
comes to emotional bein who's seeing God
in terms of the atonement for the Jewish
people and also we see that there was a
Croesus bris made there was a bond made
how do you take a bomb how did they do a
bond then they would take one piece of
paper or one animal they would split it
in half originally it was one and they
would walk through it so in other words
you see that it's going to in order to
do our torment you have to use a rock
and you have to basically split
something in half and people got United
through it so what's the connection
between the idea of a rock and between
splitting something in half because if
you think about it what is the
difference between sand and Iraq sand is
something which is a many many pieces
it's not really one however a rock comes
from the word it's rock solid it's one
in other words God was hinting to Moshe
Rabbeinu when can you have real
atonement when the relationship to begin
with is rock solid when the relationship
is coming rock solid meaning just like
by a bond you take something you split
it in half but the truth is it's not
really two halves it's one piece that
got split but really it's one so when
your relationships from the get-go or
rocks all that means whatever happens
you're still one rock or whatever
happens you're still originally from the
same place they
you can accomplish real atonement
because you're not taking two pieces and
two foreign objects and putting it
together but the truth is to begin with
it was a rock-solid relationship from
the beginning so in other words to
answer the question how can you have
internal relationships to make sure your
relationships are rock solid from the
get-go and then if things happen you'll
always be able to mane strong because
you're really connected to the person as
one this week's Torah lesson is a memory
