The Late Parsha Show With Eli Weiss Featuring Benny Friedman!

and this is the big car show hi this is Benny Friedman welcome to the Late parsha show this is Benny Friedman welcome to the Late Parsis show for the torch BAM hi this is Benny Friedman welcome to the Late parsha show for the Torah portion of SHM Eenie just like in the temple I'm right now taking out the ash from a hole pay socks worth of barbecue meat I'm sure the pace out of sacrifices hit a lot more ashes oh no it's all over me among other things in this week's Torah portion God tells us some of the rules of what we may and may not eat these are his rules obviously one of the things God doesn't want us eating is an animal that moves about bent-over Rashi explains that this is the snake that the snake moves about bent over and then falls flat on its stomach that was probably a really bad depiction but I don't have a snake here I apologize this very high which is the foundational work of Kabbalah compares the snake to the evil inclination which the majority of us have the evil inclination is smarter than to immediately suggest that we crawl on the ground bury ourselves in earthliness and unholiness he first gets us to move about bent over with our head closer to the earth caring about worldliness caring a lot his tactic is to first try to get us to crawl bent over move around closer to the ground appreciating earthliness and on holiness and enjoy physicality and worldliness enjoy life to the max indulge in the permissible pleasures of food drink clothing etc and with that attitude he eventually manages to make us fall on our stomach eventually we're crawling on our stomach and slithering through what's not only worthless but also forbidden the correct response to that sleazy slithering lack of work I was gonna say a piece of work but it's lack of or it makes way more sense is increased Torah study our sages tell us that we were created standing upright so we can look to the sky look to the heavens and remember our true purpose I bought myself a jacket the other day and I was impressed with the price I liked how it looked and the next day in middle of praying I found myself looking at my jacket and kind of admiring it and I had to stop myself and I was like Ellie what in the world are you doing what you're a middle of praying the point is I'll probably keep wearing the jacket but our mind is supposed to be else will increase your Torah learning and stay focused on the goal so enjoy life to the max real life shabbat shalom hey the late partial show is going to be taking a break for the next while yes duh yeah next few weeks I'm not sure when I'll come back into it but Michelle now we won't need this vlog inspiration because our seeking to know God better and probably not be by watching videos on the phone not that it's a bad thing right now anyways [Music]
