Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Emor 5781

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is powerless emmer the question of the week is how can we glow and shine so in this week's torah portion the torah begins and it says emma elect on him to speak to the priests via martha lame why does the verse say twice emmer we know the torah doesn't have any extra words and rashi says it says it twice to inspire us that the adult should educate the children siddha asks if that's the message to educate the children we should have been told that right after the torah was given why wait now for partial samurai so whoever says what's interesting is we by divine providence this week's torah portion postures emmer has the mitzvah of counting the aimer and we are actually right now in the period of counting neumer what we find by counting the aimer is every single day we counter aimer but also we transform ourselves we go through every one of the attributes where they're interconnected one with the other total of 49 and every single day we transform ourselves so what do we see the lesson from sirius or ymir that education is constant and consistent it's represented as follows when it comes to basic education tourism tell us to adultery educate the children that's obvious the torah was given the adults are going to educate the children over here the torah is teaching us something totally different la hazir that we should shine so the simple idea is that you want to make the children shine so we know that according to kabbalah says that when you educate the children when you educate someone that not the same level as yourself you start shining so the message over here is that by teaching and by inspiring we end up shining and what's interesting the rubbish says that the torah portion emor is an abbreviation for aish fire water and ear which is the three basic elements and every and which is connected to the emotions every giver the the emotions are solid but what happens is when you're a giver you're not complete you have when you teach this child then you become complete because when you when you pen it when the emotions go down to the world of malchus then the then the teacher becomes complete so the first emwer is referring to ishmael ruach which is the teacher the one that's inspiring the america is when you teach the child when you teach a student you have you add a tough and the toughest resembles malcolm's the receiver so when does the teacher become complete mr he's only an emote when does he become via martha when you educate the child so the answer the question how can we glow and shine by helping others we will glow and shine this week's torah lesson is dedicated to memory of baruch by yosef and rachel baslipa may their souls be elevated by the torah we're studying in their memory thanks so much for joining us for our weekly torah lesson for more information please see our website chabadswf.org have a great and blessed week shavua tov
