it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight rabbi megawatts welcome to this
week's Torah lesson this week's Torah
portion is partially about mid bar the
question of the week is how do you get
rid of arguments so in this week's Torah
lesson parshas my mid bar we learn about
the counting of the Jewish people every
single tribe and then the way the camp
was set up the way the Jewish people
traveled with their three three tribes
in the front three in the back and three
on each I total of twelve tribes and the
middle was a tabernacle and around it
was one side was Moshe and Aaron's sons
the other side was cajas the other side
was Murari and the other side was garish
on his descendants so rashly said
something very interesting that um we
know that the COS Korra came from cajas
and Rashi says because reuven the tribe
of Reuben was camped next to class which
was next to dustman of Iran therefore
when they had the quarrel over with
Moshe Rabbeinu who joined who joined the
dustman view of the tribe of Reuben
because they were neighbors and because
unfortunately the krushna is a lavar
Charlotte ray know when you're living
next to a not necessarily a great person
it rubs off on you and it affected
roulain in that the tribe of reuben
that's why they actually joined in with
the arguments against motor avail
however Rashi says the commentaries tell
us that just like we know that something
in a negative way but in a positive way
is always much more stronger so just
like we say woe to the bad person and
his neighbors when it comes to a good
thing so it's even greater you look
great a lesson is from his neighbor so
for example the we see that who camped
next to Moshe and Aaron that was a tribe
of you who da any soccer and swollen and
we know that not only you who had
tremendous leadership attributes but
even you saw currents rule got two got
along
a very beautiful way and they were
teaching of Torah and why is that
because they incant next to Moshe and
Aaron so you see from here that what
happens is when you in camp next emotion
Aaron and we know that motion and what
are they resemble we know most Romania
was the man that went up to heaven to
receive the term from God he's the one
that tortura so when you're hanging
around lo sure they know you're hanging
around Torah you not only don't get
involved in arguments on the contrary
you're involved in peace in your mouth
and happiness so that it brings out a
beautiful lesson from here that if your
person wants to stay committed to Torah
and a person wants that a life of peace
and immunity is to make sure that you
surround yourself around people like
that stood for motrin being stood for an
errand which is peace and Torah so in
other words to answer the question how
can you avoid arguments hang around
people like most rubino an errand that
are busy with studying Torah busy with
peace and then that will rub off on you
as well that you'll be busy with Torah
and peace and naturally you'll avoid any
and all arguments this week's Torah
lesson is a memory of baroque and are
you leave and ben Yosef may their
souls be elevated to the Torah that
we're studying in their memory thanks so
