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 portion this week's Torah
portion is pares VRA the question of the
week is how can you transform any
interaction into a warm and loving
experience so in this week's Torah
portion parik on the first word of the
Torah portion and actually the whole
book is named after the first word
vayikra Rashi says that VRA what does
VRA mean vayikra means a language
of love warmth which is interesting
because you find in the Torah portion a
similar
word without the ALF which actually
means an interaction which is totally
distant and cold not only that but the
root of a yikra is car which actually
means cold so you go from car which is
cold V which is a cold interaction to
VRA which becomes a warm interaction and
rbby ask the question how do you go from
cold to a non-w war interaction to a
complete warm interaction and rebby says
very simple look what you're adding
that's making car into viar up to VRA
the only thing you're adding in bikra
which is not inar
is the letter Alf wow seemingly it's
just a letter but the rebby says no it's
deeper than a letter what is Alf
resemble alif resembles alif namely God
God is the only one thing that really
exists and Alf resembles Oneness Unity
so in other words the rebi explains that
when you take any interaction as cold as
it may be as maybe even hostile if you
bring the ALF into it as you bring the
AL into ra if you bring God and the
Oneness if you can find a place where
you both of you agree both of you see
eye to eye then you can take any
experience and transform it from a
cold hostile or distant relationship
into one of true love and warmth so to
answer the question how can you
transform any interaction into a warm
and loving experience is to remember the
way the ALF is dropped into VRA and
bring the alif into every interaction
namely God and more importantly the fact
that we are really one that will
transform any cold hostile or
indifferent interaction into a warm
loving interaction as the name ofra with
the alive
