Shnayim Yomi - Ki Tisa - Rishon - #1

foreign [Music] friends thank you so much for having me back again the the tremendous share some divertera with you guys so parashatisa and this week's parasha it takes a break from describing all the details and the construction of the mishkan and it starts off with very interesting laws of taking a national census of an Israel so let's focus on the second pasuk right the first passuk is when you take a census of Ben Israel according to their count so seemingly the word sounds like it's optional right the word when you count however if you check out the ramban he says that since later on in Zain it talks about allocating all this silver that they collect for this census for the mishkan for the Ohio therefore Moshe rabenu knew the discount had to be done so the question is why did Hashem tell the company Israel what happened all of a sudden that we need a company Israel so we all know the famous teaching of Hazel that in mukdam um meaning there's no chronological order to the Torah things are out of order sometimes so maybe perhaps we'll talk about this in another video in this parashat but according to many rishonim the way they learn actually it's even the midrashtan Huma learns that the Commandment to count this National census was done after the head of the sin of the egalazahab so accordingly the order hayim he beautifully explains that the phrase kitisa what does it mean it means when you lift the heads meaning he needed to raise the spiritual status of Bin Israel and after this terrible incident of the golden calf Ami sir was down and in order to lift them he began by taking a census which is really what Hashem commanded him to do so the auraheim explains that National counting can be done for any reason rather only in certain times when the Jewish people need their morale to be boosted is it allowed okay so let's focus on the second part of the passuk it says it says that each person should give a ransom for himself all right this headsy shekel so that there won't be any plague that comes in as a result of counting Bene Israel so the counting can cause something negative and by giving this coffee this they're going to be able to counteract the negative results of counting so we have to understand why should there be a plague due to Counting Bene Israel the Torah doesn't mention why it causes a plea the Torah seems very shiny it sounds like it's David everybody knows that accounting causes a plague we actually see that the plague happened before with David Melech when he commended you have to count the Jewish people and since he didn't collect the Hattie shekel also there was a terrible plague so Russia if you look at the Russian the pasuki says that counting creates this this evil eye or however you want to translate it which would cause a plague to be fall Bene Israel so the counting causes this ainara so therefore to counteract this by giving a ransom this hathi shekel it removes the plague which would have befallen due to the ainara however check out this malibim the malibin is beautiful he says as long as the people are united I'm Michelle they're all one unit they're like one person they're for the collective Merit is great if I'm Israel however but when they're counted individually each person you know set aside by himself therefore their actions are examined and due to this a plague can actually come and overtake Bene Israel because if each individual's own zavira is so to fix this the counteract this Hashem commands that each of them should give a headsy shekel so therefore that demonstrates this giving of the hetzi shekel demonstrates that they're all bound together with one unit so in essence the half shekel it reminds us it uh it creates ahdut which makes us Unstoppable thank you [Music]
