and of course as we know we continue to
bring the Quran pesach inherits Israel
with the building of the base hamiktas
and the mishkaranerits Israel and the
building of the base
however
we read in in schlichi that they were a
group of people that were not able to
bring the carbon pesach and that's
because these people were tame they were
impure they were ritually impure they
had come into contact with a corpse with
a dead body and therefore they were
ritually impure someone whose tummy is
not allowed to bring the carbon pesach
so you would think they're exempt but no
they came to Moshe rabenu and they
complained we want to bring the karma
PESA we want to be involved in this
mitzvah
didn't exactly know what to do so he
tells the people hold on and let's
consultative
who comes and says these people are
correct they should have a role in the
Mitzvah and therefore who decreed what
we know to be pesachini and in addition
to bring the regular Carbon pesach on
your dalid Nissan we also have an
opportunity for those who are not able
to bring the carbon pesach when you
download Nissan we have the opportunity
to bring the carbon pesach on you dalid
ER the following month what we call PESA
shading we still celebrate PESA Shady
today we don't say talking about there
are many among the hasidim who really
celebrate pesacheni in a very
significant way and then finally at the
very end of the of the Aliyah
the Torah emphasizes that this midsole
of carbon PESA applies to a gear to a
convert as well just like to a regular
born-in member of the Jewish people
and if you think about it this is such
an important concept because although of
course we believe that the Jewish people
are special we also believe that every
single human being was created in
between and every single human being can
join the Jewish people can join the
ranks of the Jewish people through
conversion we of course as Jews don't
proselytize we don't go out and try to
encourage people to convert but if
people come and they sincerely want to
convert to the Jewish people we welcome
them with open arms to the point where
the Torah says you have to love a
convert and you have to accept the
convert in again with open arms and we
know in our communities so many
wonderful gay rights edict both men and
women who have seen the truth of Yiddish
seeing the truth of the Torah and I've
joined the ranks of the Jewish people
and we're reminded at the end of the
Aliyah that they are a significant part
of the Jewish people as well
thank you
