S.S.S.S. Parshas Shmini

okay first we want to welcome back everybody we know uh we know you missed the sh very much uh over y so this week par and as I was learning through the par the last couple of days so a couple things came back to me very uh interesting inspiring lessons that I've seen over the years in So at the end when I when I narrowed it down to what I really wanted to speak about I was still left with like two things so um I had to really try to narrow it down so I decided to do both of them so we'll try to fit into the time frame but two very very uh beautiful lessons on this week's para para starts off on the day called to children and the Z question is why did M call all of them Aon children Z is so Rashi says the reason why why knows what place did the is have over there here now atash says the reason he called the is was that the people should see that Ain didn't take the K that he didn't take his position by force that the position of Aon was one that wanted him to have and also that when when it would be reflected back to the even the Zak would agree and say that you know he had a sort of a consensus the zik over there but there's a beautiful met on this says like this says the to a bird to a bird and we see that in the beginning of this week's para says just like a bird cannot fly without wings so too the B is are helpless without this that's the mishna so the med says a different why did why were the zik is called and and he says be he brings a mush that that without the Zan amongst without the elders without us looking up to our elders without our elders being there we're like birds without wings we can't fly that's what the med says the med brings down that uh that mem so where did this all start if you think about it if you remember I don't know we spoke about this back then I don't know if we started then but it says BYU that and used to look exactly alike what's going to be a person's never going to know who to respect a person's going to walk in with his son and his grandson everybody's going to look the same the whole family every's going to look the same and nobody's going to know who to respect or when to respect do me a favor when when a person gets old make him look old make him look but today we call look a little maybe let him look let him look old said it's a wonderful idea we're going to start with you you're going to be the first one that you're going to talk a look older than son and that's what the says he he was the first person to look old and he T to look older than his son so the the question is really what was Abu asking here let's just look at the how this whole idea started Abu was he looking for respect he was looking for COV Abu was afraid that he might walk through the door with and they're not going to know who to stand up for they're not going to know who to give to or Shi whatever was right they're not going to know what to do this is notu we're talking about the same ofu who when the guest walked in he himself went and cleaned the dirt off their feet so is not so concerned with his image with with his covet so the answer is like the med says in our understood and he was the first person to understand that in order for CLA Isel to exist in order for CLA Isel to have the right structure in order for the people in CL Isel to have the right ideas they're always going to have to look toward the zakan they always have to look back to the people that actually have experience to the people that went through life a little bit the people that went through the trials and tribulations and the history people that that have been around the block once or twice or three times people that know what that that know already what's going on so understood that Rood that in order for clel to go on we need that so the p over here said that took that lesson and he called in when he was setting up was setting it up with the that we always have to unlike the way it is today you know today in the 21st century it's totally the opposite you know when somebody gets a little older he's he's out he's he's over he's he's out you know he's out to lunch right he's he doesn't understand he doesn't know what's going on he's not with the times you get with the program you're not with the 21st century maybe so right that's way the going that's way people look at it but we always look back at our fathers and our grandfathers people have experience and we always want to learn the lessons from them it's interesting the gamar MC says the gar Mill I saw last week the gamar says that if a old if you have I'll translate the gar says if an old man tells you to demolish something and a young person comes and tells you to build the gar says you listen to the older person and you demolish why says the gar because the the demolition of old people of older people somebody with experience someone with experience is telling you to demolish that's called building we in our small mind we think that building is building putting up something and demolishing is taking it down somebody with experience might understand that sometimes taking something down and sometimes doing something which we would look at as destruction that's really building so that's why M called in the zik M was teaching us a very important lesson the uh the second lesson I wanted to talk about on this week's para was something I saw in shom a couple of years ago and uh it's really a beautiful thing for for us to know and a beautiful thing for us to remember says it came so lifted up his hands to and he gave them aash says what did he give them he gave so asks why does it say what relevance does it have to us that lifted up his hands it should say Aon went out and he gave them a what signific against do lifting up his hands half the Mitzvah is really the not the lifting up the hand and it seems like the puts stress puts an emphasis on the fact that Aron lifted up his hands says a beautiful thing he says the hands of a person refer to the the myome of a person what a person the essence of a person what a person does that's what his hands are know the things what he goes out and does the hands refer to uh to the to the person what the person's Essence is what was the essence of AR we we'll actually get in also this is the first week of per and the Mish says in and per this week that what was was ain's main characteristic main characteristic of a was that he loved shom and he ran after shom AR was a person who brought people together and brought people together as friends it says in the says also that you have to do with and that's so where does where does the whole come from the the comes from the that the had for is when they lift up their hands they're bringing the characteristics of their great great great grandfather and they're lifting it up and in order for to the have to have even more he says that among today the in order for the to work there has to be between the people in the in the call also if there's animosity amongst the people people are talking lashara about each other if people don't like each other you know what you're doing you're taking away from the effectiveness of the entire of the entire call so if you're standing there and you're inside and and you and you're and you have ESS in someone else and you're not happy you're taking away from from the actual BR that the entire Tira could get why because the the whole BR is totally in in in in AA so why so let me ask you if if it says if if it says if that's the reason why does it say anyone who know say so that's the answer why we say that we say because yes it's a and yes teaches us the main point of the the main point of the is that there has to be in order for the to be we all of us if you take a lookash brings down that afterwards went out and gave a the entire we should and we should understand that aside from the we should also have the and we should understand that we're the ones who actually bring out the by by having an by having
