Shnayim Yomi - Matot - Masei - Shishi - #6 - Rabbi Dovid Kimche - Exposure to Kedusha Brings Healing

Paras mas shishi. So in shishi we learn about the or levim. So ley the tribe of ley did not have their own separate portion of land. Rather there were 48 cities 48 or levim where and those were dotted all around Israel. Interesting. the Levim they functioned as the Rabonim as the Malum and they were dotted around to spread their influence all around all around Eritis Israel and all around Klis what's interesting is that the the 48 cities so six of them six of these were the or Miklot as we'll learn about in tomorrow's segment in Shi but um in reality the Gomorra and Marcus Dafi tells us that in reality all 48 all 48 of them in theory could be or miklot at least on some level means someone who killed someone accidentally can go to any of these or levim and um that serves as their miklot and the question is the question I was wondering is what does it mean what what is what is the Torah telling us why does it have it that the or miklot were in the city of the levian and I was thinking the following and I was thinking look someone just killed someone by mistake he's having the worst day of his life and when someone does that the truth is the guilt they are feeling the guilt they feel that never really leaves you. And the person's feeling down, feeling terrible, and there is a concern that we have that someone who's on such a low can then spiral spiral out of control out of control. So what where does he go? Where does such a person live? Where can they heal? And the answer is the arim, the city of Levim. Part of such a person's internal healing, the healing of the nephesh, the nam the ru of a person is not to go by himself, is not to be by himself, but is to go and surround himself with people of meaning, people holding themselves to a higher standard, people who are on a mission, people who are that is that contributes to a person's healing. I would contrast this to what we have in the western world where someone who is a criminal or what what they do is that they incarcerate them. They put them in prison with other criminals and what does that do to a person that that destroys them even more but what we do over here is that we say you person you individual you by mistake committed this act and I'm sure it's going to leave a deep and possibly indelible mark on your nama you go and spend time with people who are going to uplift you surround yourself with the levim with the people in world who are devoted to a sakuresh and that will that will be that will uplift you in your uh in your
