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 pous nuso the question of the
week is how can we remain positive so in
this week's Torah portion par the Torah
counts the families of the Kim gon kah
and marari and what's interesting is the
Torah begins that God says count the
family of gon and it says G also them so
the question is asked what do you mean
also them so Rashi right away explains
just like you counted the family of kah
in other words kah was already counted
and we're counting gon the same way you
counted the family of kahos so the rebby
asks the question kahos is younger than
gon shouldn't gon be counted first and
obviously the Torah counts kah first
what is the reason the RB explains like
this what is gon spiritually Gan comes
from Gage to send away what does that
mean working away with the evil and
pushing away the evil to have a clean
holy space what is spiritually it's to
gather so in other words gon in the
cabalistic world is called Sur going
away from Evil andas is the of bringing
in light and doing mitv now normally the
approach is if you have a dirty room you
got to clean it up and then you bring in
the nice furniture so the same thing
Also spiritually first you go away from
Evil and then you bring in positivity
and that is the normal approach and that
is why gon happens to be older than kah
because first you have gon you get rid
of the evil and then K you bring in the
positive light but what happens is if
that remains that way we can think
because gon is first the important the
priority is to focus on going away from
Evil and what happens is you never get
busy doing good so therefore the Torah
says even on the normal aod the normal
service is gon is older that means you
have to clean up and then bring in the
light Sur
but you have to always remember and stay
focused that who did the Torah count
first to remind you that even though G
is older and even though normally you
have to get rid of the evil you have to
deal with the negativity but our job is
to focus on the positivity and focus in
our mission of bringing light into the
world and that is what gas resembles and
that's how when has counted he counted
just like Gus to remind us what is the
important factor so to answer the
question how do we remain focused on
being positive think about the way the
Torah counts the priests kah is counted
first because go God wants us to focus
on positivity this week's Torah lesson
