[Music] this is actually a very short amount of silk i'm only about 10 so come here again it's dealing with sacrifices in the purification process of the missouri aftermath is healed it's a very interesting process he goes to both to become contaminated while he's contaminated sent out of the camp how he dresses his haircuts and stuff and then when he becomes purified when he comes back there's a process as well which includes sacrifices interestingly here as it says and verse right in the beginning it says if a person is a poor person he gets to bring different type of sacrifice these are not always usually if a person does something wrong there's one type of sacrifice it doesn't matter how wealth you are there are a few exceptions in the torah where if someone's wealthy he brings sacrifice a if he's not so wealthy he can bring b and sometimes even a c this is one of those cases and it starts out first words we're going to read today if he is poor and his means are not sufficient in hebrew right away the rabbis ask that's the double phrase we'd never have extra words in the torah what do you mean if he is poor and his means are not sufficient of course a person who's poor his means are not sufficient that's exactly what poor means poor means his means are not sufficient and the rabbis bring down basically we continue from what we said yesterday poor that means they're not sufficient not the same thing a poor is a person who thinks he's poor doesn't mean he's actually poor so even though the turret tells us a poor person that has to as well doesn't mean a person who thinks he's poor it means a person who actually does not have the means he's not sufficiently wealthy monetarily so if someone thinks he's poor but he has enough money to buy so the sacrifices for a wealthy person he has to bring the wealthy sacrifices he can't get away with just by saying he's poor it doesn't work he has to be poor and then he has to actually be poor monetarily to bring these specific sacrifices but we have to know for ourselves the same idea poor and wealth happiness and sadness many of these things being jealous of someone being happy for someone else a lot of these things are based on our own mindset so even though these laws appear ancient distant not practical not relevant today they are the lessons are there someone yesterday's lesson was be very well balanced now it is don't look at yourself as a poor person look at yourself have standing recognize yourself greatness be happy with what you have the only person who's wealthy a person who's happy if you're not happy you're poor but that's not going to help you here what we discussed in the practical laws poor means lack of monetary wealth when discussing the laws we shall learn emotionally recognize what you are about recognize that karis baruch who gave you exactly what you need you are no poorer or wealthier than you have to be if you had to be different hashem would have made it different so again try to focus on on what we're reading and make it practical to our daily lives thank you [Music]
