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 Pontius bahar the question of
the week is how can you avoid the
downfalls of life so in this week's
Torah portion Pasha's bajar we learn
about the laws of a Jew that gets sold
as a slave to a non-jew for financial
reasons or other reasons and now he
wants to be redeemed so the Torah tells
us the law of redemption and Torah says
what happens if his brother wants to
come redeem him his uncle his cousins or
any of a family number or he himself
wants to come redeem them and the total
goes into the detail what the redemption
process is but the Rebbe asked a very
simple question if you give a look
there's something missing who is the
closest to a person his dad his mom his
parents so how come the Torah doesn't
start off by saying his parents come to
redeem him then his brother his uncle
his cousins and so on and so forth why
is the parents missing so the Rebbe says
here you see a very fascinating insight
and the tourists teaching us what the
reason why spiritually the person calls
themself to tremendous downfall when he
was actually sold as a slave through the
spiritual perspective and they're being
explained as follows the Torah leaves
out the father and because over here is
the hint why he was sold as a slave
because we all know that father Abba in
the spiritual realm is referring to haha
karma is the first ability to comprehend
understand things about life and more
important what do we use our clock mode
user hakama which is our wisdom to
really comprehend about the real
important things of lives and that is
about God so I idea of a how come is
someone that thinks and what does he
think when you think you think about the
truth and the truth is God created the
world got maintains the world and by
thinking about that allows us to have
tremendous or four
on have love for God and that is the
fuel and that is the energy behind the
relationship that we have with God now
as long as you have that relationship
and you realize God created the world
and you have faith in God you pray to
god you'll never fall you'll ever have
downfalls of life but on the other hand
when a person is a sort of speak
sleeping what does it mean he sleeping
spiritually he forgets about God so
guess what he loses that connection and
that's how he ends up being a slave so
the Torah doesn't mention the father
comes to redeem him because he's
disconnected with his father spiritually
and therefore the one that comes to
redeem m is a brother and uncle a cousin
etc and ultimately once they redeem him
he has to obviously work on redeeming
himself so another Robbie points out
very very clearly that the reason for
him slipping and being eventually a
slave is for his falling asleep and is
this connect to God so the answer the
question how can we avoid the downfalls
of life very simple make sure our hoc ma
is always on and alive and connected to
God and this way as long as we're
connected to God we will never God
