Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Behaalotecha

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is pasha's baha'is the question of the week is does our actions make a difference so in this week's torah portion pasha's palestine we learn about the command to aaron to like the manure and the torah tells us by yasuke narayan ahraim did what he was instructed to reference the language so rashi asked the question aaron did what he was instructed i mean like what's the what's the big novel idea you don't think he would listen to god so the rashi explains it's to praise all right that he didn't change and he didn't do it any other way than he was instructed so ever asked what do you mean what does that mean why would you think he wouldn't do it where he was supposed to so everybody explains like this when hashem created the world there's two types of energies there's something which is called the rooster delay allah gives us a gift for example we have to create here something gives us here many things that gives us then the things we have to do now the fact is when hashem gives it to us it's much more powerful it's coming from the infinite hashem when you look at the battle monorail the minority was constructed by hashem i shall make the menorah not only that even the minority itself the fire was a godly fire so aaron can ask himself hello you want me to do something sure i'll do it but the menorah you made the mineral it's a godly fire like why am i even doing what you asked me to do it's it's a joke it's a game but nevertheless aaron even though he technically was a godly winner it was a godly fire he was asked to light it he lit it why is that so the morale explains something very very powerful it sounds like this yes even though hashem created the world and maintains the world but hashem wants our participation and we do our part yes hashem finishes it off with much greater much more powerful blessings so the answer to the question is our actions important and does it do anything absolutely hashem wants us to do our part and yes when we do our part hashem gives us great and huge blessings thanks so much for joining us for our weekly torah lesson this week's torah lesson is dedicated to memory of barack banaria and joseph and may their souls be elevated by torah with studying in their memory have a great and blessed week shavua tov for more information please see our website swf.org
