it's time for Rabbi minkowitz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight Rabbi minkowitz welcome to this
week's Torah lesson this week's Torah
portion Pas P the question of the week
is how great is the power of remorse so
in this week's Torah portion par Pinas
we learn about the census of the Jewish
people and in the census Torah starts
with the first tribe Ruan and it
mentions about the people in the tribe
of Ruan that the Earth swallowed them up
when they fought against M with korak
but then the Torah tells us one short
verse kak the sons of koraku they didn't
die and Rashi explains what does it mean
they didn't die we know that they were
part of the whole troublemaking and the
Earth that swallow them up so Rashi says
yes it's true and Rashi
says were initially part of the whole
advice to go against mosenu but while
they were arguing and while the Earth
opened up
hu they didn't even verbally Express the
remorse but in their heart they had real
repentance and therefore Rashi says
there was left a high place for them and
they stood in this high place because
they had remorse just in their heart so
Reby explains here you see something
very powerful not only when someone is
remorseful and they verbally say it but
even over here where they just in their
heart had remorse they were saved in
other words how much more so when you
verbally do remorse but even if somebody
has remorse in his heart and everybody's
going to going down if you will have
remorse God will save you even at the
last moment so they answer the question
what is the power of remorse remorse has
the power that even if you just in your
heart regret what you did wrong God will
protect you and God will save you
