Day #170–Rambam DAILY Sefer HaMitzvos | HALFWAY POINT

it's day number 170 of our daily study ofz and I had been looking forward to this occasion for months now as a day of excitement um because it's exactly halfway through the daily cycle and now with what has transpired over the past couple of days in the Holy Land it's a it's a little bit difficult it's a lot difficult to muster up the excitement but here's the deal um we are obviously going to continue learning in fact it would be foolish for us not to continue learning because what we can do here in our place that will give the most strength to our people is to continue learning and not only to continue learning but to learn even more than we've ever learned before so obviously we're going to continue our daily study of Raam today this is this is the time when it's most needed and I'm even going to try to get into a little bit of a joyous mood and it's not a contradiction it's not a contradiction to the fact that we're still in enormous pain the human heart has capacity for both so we're in pain and at the same time we have joy over what's happening in our daily Torah study and and we have confidence that the joy will prevail over the pain and there will be no more pain with the coming ofia now so today's daily study of ramem today is a a very special day in our daily study of raamz it is day number 170 and why is that such a special day it is such a special day because in the daily study track of SE mitus which as we've mentioned many times corresponds to the three chapters a day of misho study track there are 300 39 days it takes 339 days to get through the entire Misha if you study three chapters a day that means that today we have exactly half of the days of study behind us and half of the days of study ahead of us so we are now heading into the second half of our year of daily study of mitz which means that we have reached a milestone and Hashem should give us strength to continue to reach many more milestones in our daily study of SE Mitzvah and in all areas of T study so today our Mitzvah or Mitzvah there's actually one Mitzvah today corresponds to the chapters being studied in the three chapters today of Misha which are sule H chapters 5 6 and 7 and we have just one Mitzvah today as mentioned which is a negative commandment negative 120 which is the prohibition against leaving the sacrificial meat uneaten until the morning it is forbidden to leave over the sacrificial meat past the deadline whatever its deadline is uh we learn it it from the IL the elevation offering which must be entirely burnt before morning but this really is the source for the entire concept of what is called noiser noiser means remaining leftovers there are to be no leftovers in the basa mikdash and we also learn it's a separate mitvah but there's a remedy if one does God forbid transgress and leave over then one should take care of it and go ahead and burn it at that point get rid of it um and that is a separate m a positive commandment for remedying when one God forbid does leave over noiser which is a transgression okay that is our Mitzvah today we will see you for more God willing tomorrow and we're going to continue going strong with our daily study bringing us to many more Milestones of Torah study together may it be together in good health and good happiness always
