Shnayim Yomi - Mishpatim - Rishon - #1

[Music] we know that there's a connection between parashat mishpatim and the one before because of the valve the vav vla very unusual to begin something with the valve valve connects it's called valve so famously tell us adds on what has previously been taught by the torah what was right before the end of parashat itro ends with the acetate the ten commandments don't think the ten commandments are more important than the other laws the laws that are going to be discussed in throughout the great variety of laws that have to do with people nazi kim all the damages we do with people social norms etc are as important as the laws that have been discussed in the acetate of the ten commandments which is truly amazing and surprising because if you ask someone in the street randomly tell me what is religion what would be a law that has to do with religion how would you codify theology and they would tell you belief in god you know prayer to god anything that has to do with with god is theology something has to do with religion here the come through the torah of course and teach us a revolutionary idea which is that things between people are not only as important as the regular laws that have to do ben adam lama come between us and hashem is probably even more important than at least the first layer of the first level and we'll see later uh other team but the first layer is that it's as important as the ones that were taught at sinai mosif both were taught in haasenai everything was taught in hashinai and even the laws of finding an object on the street and and and giving it to somebody to the right owner and helping someone's donkey under a load all these things were given in sinai as much as which is truly amazing see at the end of the parasha we're going to see an incredible episode where the torah tells us the narrative of hashem commanding moshe to anoint the people of israel to make them into a nation and what do they do he does with sprinkling blood but there the pasuk says took half the blood the amount of blood vayasemba ganat puts him in the basins and then the other half he put it on the mizbeh and then zarak is throwing the blood on the people rashi tells us who separated the amount of blood in two he says he used the help of an angel to separate this into half why would you need them why would you need the help of an angel to separate a cup of blood into two cups who cares you could do it yourself you only use the malach if you need to the answer is unbelievable because a person cannot do exactly half half if charlotte something you cannot do exactly half only and why did you need to make it half because it's as important to put half on the mizbeach than to put half on the people benedict because of that you needed an angel that's to show you how important it is the benadam la javero laws [Music] you
