Shnayim Yomi - Ki Teizei - D'var Torah 5784

[Music] okay so I just want to share with you a small thought on the para something I was thinking about we have the MIT interestingly enough there's only three mitz in the Torah that uh promise long life and two of them are found in our very par being one of them and the question is asked is why is why gives you long life think about this what's the when it comes to other animals do we have to chase away the mother deer before we take a baby deer no the for the birds and animals are usually the same we by by covering the blood when we sh whether it's an animal whether it's a bird it's the same so why by Why by birds is there a separate other animals we don't find the nature of animals and human beings is that we we give birth to a child and we see certain traits in that child it looks like me it has my nose or it has it has personality like my husband or my wife right we see ourselves in our children but birds are different birds they give birth to an egg they don't see the child and they sit there and they nurture the egg just like they would a child and they protect the egg right that's the you're sending away the mother bird to take the eggs or the birds and that type of love where the bird doesn't see anything of itself in its child it just has the motherly love that's a very very special type of feeling I wanted to connect it to something else in the para we talk about uh giving macus and we all know the famous question why does it say a but in macas 40 macas we all know you only get so um the has a very very interesting explanation different than than other explanations about why it's 39 no matter what level of spirituality we reach no matter how hard we we we try to do and we learn and our biggest our are always going to have something missing we're always going to stand in front of the scared what what what he's going to find what pagam what what small thing missing that we didn't accomplish in our life and theam says to us it's not how I look at it you you're only getting 39 really deserve 40 that's that says but you're only going to get 39 there's a special love that the has yes you have to get punished you did something wrong we have to cleanse our Nish that's that's the way of the world that's the way a parent deals with a child but there's a special love that has for cl and we can compare that with the love that a bird has for its eggs even before it's born there's that that special bond that between parent and child and if we remember the special bond you know yes we can be afraid of of all the negative things fire Brimstone right what's going to be right the rash please forgive me but the most important thing we have to remember is Hashem loves us just like that bird loves child unconditionally doesn't see anything of itself in it yet but Hashem he does see he sees some of we have godliness in US Hashem sees that Hashem loves us Pathway to Tru is is is already paved for us thank you have a good Shas [Music]
