Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Behar - Bechukotai 5780

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is Pasha's Behar and bouquets ie the question of the week is how does a healthy and balanced person behave so in this week's Torah portion Pasha's be higher the tour begins by speaking about the laws of shmita and the Torah tells us when the banana straw gonna come into the Land of Israel the shafts are Haaretz Saba /n the land is going to have a Shabbos it's gonna lie fallow it's not gonna do anything then the Torah says how is that gonna work so shake shun in for six years you're gonna work the land and the seventh year it's gonna lie fallow so never asked a simple question if you're gonna start with six years working and the seventh year it's gonna lie fallow it's gonna rest so why is it or begin by saying when you come in the shafts are it's the land is gonna lie fallow that's not going to happen until the seventh year it's a drive explains with an introduction he says as follows whoever says that a healthy balanced person behaves in a way of masiva deburr and my son which means the first thing is in any process you have to think you gotta think it through what is the right thing to do how to do it you need much sugar you need thought then once you have an idea deeper you use speech to discuss it with other people does it make sense doesn't it make sense after you have a full mouth shava deboard then there's actually a gap and then you go to do the mindset you go to do the action and whoever brings out he says we find that a human being is called a Adam why we called an Adam because Adam is an abbreviation the olive stands for a left haha my love cabina which has teach me intellect teaches me understanding which is idea of mark shovel the dollar it stands for DeBoer which speech and the man stands for my section brings actually from the co helis we King Solomon says that the hood on my shoulders if you have a cord which has three strings at hand it's made of three three strings like that my hair you not think it's not going to be broken so easily surah she gets role explanations what does that mean a string made up of three parts not really broken one of the ends is actually a third shaft in Rashi Inca Hellas Rashi says it's referring to someone that learns Makram and Mishnah and as derech Eretz this means he learns micro commerce and he learns Mishnah and he behaves appropriately he will not come to send those three things will protect them service says if you think about Micra is what we do but deeper we speak Mishnah we know if you just read you can't read much nice like you read the to Hill them for example you have to think about it's my shovel and there are Paris's action so you see clearly that in order to be a healthy balanced human being you have to have my shovel de Bourgh and then write myself well as yerba says for example even the spiritual worlds we know that briea the world Brya yet crcr is a reference to Bree as the world of Mashav a thought yet serie is the world of speech and I see as the world of action and between speech and action it says oft it means it has to be a gap as we know for example the letter hei also resembles my shovel de Bourgh and then my sum between the brahmaiah there's a gap you always need a gap between deburr and my son so based on this driver says that satin Apothic you're going into the Land of Israel so obviously for sure you're gonna work for six years and then you're gonna have the seventh year but before you start working which is action you have to stop and think what is my purpose why am i working and the Torah tells you yes thing the reason why you're working is wish of sart's Shaba /m the goal is to bring her SH and into the or it's the goal is to bring godliness into the world once a person thinks and realizes this whole purpose of working the land I'm working the six days of the week and the six years until the shop is a shemitah then your whole work is different because you thought third first then your interaction in the world is totally different and then you're able to have a true effect in the read in the world by doing whatever you're doing in a meaningful more thought-out process and you know also ties it in - this week's perky about what does it say in perky a vote in chapter 5 it says Basara Mamoru snivelin hashem created the world with 10 other Ince's and the Mishna says 7 10 11 says the Hollywood Mahima Akkad hashem could have created with one utterance so while he created with 10 so the Mishna says to bring retribution someone that does not listen to our sin and destroys the world and also to bring reward for someone that does listen to our sin so never asked a simple question if and if you go ahead and you buy something worth a dollar that's what it's worth let's say you decide to spend $10 on it and someone steals it from you how much they have to pay you not ten dollars what you overpaid they have to pay the value one dollar so if I Shem went ahead and could have created the world with one utterance and the pale he created it with ten so why when someone disobeys is he getting punished for it - 10 utterances Hashem overpaid a wise reward ten times the fall of fold Hashem Hashem overpaid in my Morris and whoever said if you look in the mission it says very very clearly that my life of mine were a colossal he burries which means that if I strand were to created the world with my moral code one it would only been Yahweh Allah means and your holiness and potential one utterance would have created a world in potential not in reality Hashem did not want to have a world of potential Shem wanted a physical world so therefore I shouldn't use ten utterances so we should have a physical realistic world so another you see the same idea in the Mishnah mashallah alone is not going to bring you a real world eating much rubber that creates the potential that you need deeper and then that brings it down to my son so in other words the whole idea is that a healthy full perspective is when you have my shovel deeper and my sand nervous uh specifically in that order so the answer the question what is a healthy balanced person someone that uses my shovel third first thinks things through deboard discussed of other people make sure you got a right perspective then you take a gap and then you do the action thanks so much for joining us in our weekly Torah lesson this week's Torah lesson is dedicated to the memory of Varro Benari lay slowly no safe and Rocco ba sleep Oh may their souls be elevated by the Torah that we're studying in their memory thanks again for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson for more information please see our website Chabad SWA org have a great and blessed week
