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 is parted by the question of the
week is what is the extra power that the
Bala has so in this week's Torah portion
Pas B we we learn about the Jewish
people offering the sacrifice in the
wilderness and what happened was there
was a group of people that were impure
they couldn't bring the sacrifice they
came to Moses hey we can't bring the
sacrifice we don't want to be left out
we want to be part of the Jewish
Community every person partakes in the
holiday of Passover so God tells mosenu
guess what those people that came
sincerely to you to want to be part of
the Jewish people in practice of the
holiday of Passover and they were impure
and they could not or they were
traveling so they can bring a second
Passover a month later and that's what
we have till today something which is
called PES sh which we observe a month
after the first Passover in the month of
ER so the Torah tells us the specific
laws about the second Passover in other
words what is the difference between the
first Passover and the second Passover
the second Passover is unique that you
can even eat mat and so the question is
asked if the whole idea is to
commemorate going out of Egypt and these
people were not able to partake in the
Passover experience because they were
out of town or they impure why are they
allowed to eat
so the RB explained something extremely
powerful who is
offering the second Passover someone
that basically was not able to do the
first and they came and they asked God
please allow us an opportunity to make
up for our mistake whether it was
voluntary or involuntarily in other
words in Hebrew it's called a Bala
someone that wants to repent for
something they couldn't do so the rebbi
says here you see a powerful Insight
when it comes to Abal Chua because
they're willing to be vulnerable and
honest and face their mistakes they have
the power to
transform something negative and
something that they were not able to do
till now in other words in the Hebrew
term they're able to take a z something
which was wrong and transform it to a to
something positive therefore when it
comes to their observance of the holiday
of Passover they eat matah but they can
all eat because they have the power to
transform the versus aad someone that
just observed the first Passover cannot
eat because he does not have the power
to transform something as through the
Mitzvah of Passover so the answer the
question what is the power that balua
has the power that the balua has is he
can take a negative and transform it
into a true positive this week's Torah
lesson is dedicated to the memory of B
and schlomo yose may their souls be
elevated by the Torah we're studying in
their
memory I'd like to wish a special Mao to
