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 postures about how Losco the question of the week is how great is the power of repentance so in this week's Torah portion process by lowes card we learn about the mitzvot of Pesach shany the second pass over and we all know about the first Passover and in the times of the temple it was an obligation for everyone to partake in the Paschal Lamb and in the full celebration of pesach what happened there was a group of people that were in pure and they want to partake in the first pesach they couldn't so motivated told them that God said as follows that he will create a new holiday call the Pesach Cheney and the pace of training whoever missed the first one could celebrate pesach on the second one so the question is asked a simple question if the idea pesach with a make up for the people that miss the first Passover so then it should be a mirror image of the first one but we find unique that in we know in the first Passover you know I'll have comments only matzah when it comes to celebrating the second pace that for those that list it you can have come into the house you can eat comments not only that um hey Sokka celebrate for seven days and here they celebrated only for one day so why is it that if it's pesach shany it should be maybe more than a week and it should be me more strict in the first place if you missed the first one you're trying to make up so they're a brings at me says here you see the real power of repentance the people that was supposed to bring the first Passover they couldn't do it they could've said okay fine i'm sorry i was impure and i missed but here no they felt bad and they felt bad they missed so much of God some guess what you're a ball chula you're showing that repents someone that repents it's such a beautiful thing that it takes the person into a whole different level such a high spiritual level that if a person before they repented they want observe pass over the regular Passover guess what you're not eat comments you don't the power tell made it only matzah you have to go through a seven-day process but somebody that really truly repents they achieve such a spiritual high they can have helmets and the won't affect it won't affect them from observing pain sauna properly and also they don't need seven days in one day they can accomplish at all so here you see the power repentance when a person repents you can reach such a high level that when it comes to celebrating you can have helmets at the house it can be done very very quickly so the answer the question what is the power of repentance the power repentance allows us to reach such tremendous spiritual heights and you see that you did not have to celebrate it for a whole week and you can even have helmets and that is the great power of repentance that we can reach tremendous spiritual heights this week's Torah lesson is a memory of bora pandari leave and ben Yosef may their souls be elevated to the Torah that we're studying in their memory thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson for more information on Habad please see our website you
