Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Emor

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is pasha's emor the question of the week is why is it important to speak positive so this week's torah portion is called pasha's emwer mr means to speak so the rubber asked a simple question there's so many beautiful ideas in this week's torah portion the torah is called speak what kind of name is that andrew explains that torah speaks specifically the name mr to teach us and inspire us to speak positively about other people in other words if someone does something good praise the person and if you see something that you're not into praise our job is to be malamaz figure out a way to find something positive to say something positive but why andrew explains because we all know when you speak you draw you draw out what's hidden inside so when you say positive things you draw out positive energy and godfruit you say negative things you draw out negative energy like we all know the talmud says when someone speaks lash and hara when someone speaks gossip it hurts and kills three people the person speaking the person that's listening and the person you're talking about why because when you speak bad things when you speak negative you speak lush and hara you draw out negative energy and negative energy can only harm so if negative could harm how much more so in a positive way positive energy can do great things so when a person speaks positive what happens then is you're actually drawing out hidden good qualities into the revealed way so the answer to the question why should you speak positive because by speaking positive you will draw out good energy and be a blessing and healing for the person speaking for the person listening and the person you're talking about thanks so much for joining us for our weekly tour lesson for more information please see our website swf.org this week's torah lesson is dedicated to memory of barak banari labe sloan manuel save and rachel baslipa may your souls be elevated by the torah we're studying in their memory have a great and blessed week shavua tov
