difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight
rabbi Mingo it welcome to this week's
Torah lesson this week's Torah portion
sponsors Pincott the question of the
week is how should you judge others so
in this week's Torah portion participant
costs we it's a continuation of the end
of last week's Torah portion with pen
costs went ahead and so people doing an
immoral act in public and he stood up
and he killed them and that actually
stopped the plague of God and the wrath
of God against the Jewish people so what
happened was the Jewish people said one
second was pin clubs doing this because
he was doing the right thing and he
really wanted to stop someone doing
something terrible and desecrating God's
name and many people were saying no he
didn't do it for altruistic reasons he
didn't do it for good reasons he did it
because he had a streak within him that
he liked killing people where did we
find that because pin cuts his mother
was just throws daughter who was my
daughter and because you and I doubt her
differently was an idolatrous act it
wasn't necessarily a holy act after
people were saying comes along at Turin
Torah says not so that who was pin cross
pin causes a son not as well he's the
son of his mother and father the Torah
points out he was a son of his father
Eliezer who Eliza was the son of Aaron
the high priest and just like Aaron the
high priest was someone that loved
everybody same thing also allows her and
the same thing also pentose so the
answer the question how should you judge
judge others looked at or judges because
you can charge he was the son of his
grandfather and idolaters or you can
take the approach to the Torah and the
tourist approaches that he should judge
him favorably and he was the son of
Eleazar the grandson of Aaron and he was
the high priest and he did it for good
reasons
and we need to learn to look at
everything in life from the perspective
of Torah which is all good
this week's Torah lesson is a memory of
Barack and I relayed and Ben
Yosef may their souls the elevator to
the Torah that we're studying in their

model of my daughter Hannah on a
