Tirtza - Parshat Behaalotecha- A Shabbat.com Message

[Music] Shalom hi everyone it spirits up this week's bar shot is named it's a long and harsh pronounced verb makalah Tiffa which comes from the root that means to go up Hashem's giving instructions to Aaron about how to light the menorah candle in the Michigan in the tabernacle Rashi brings out a few ideas about the importance of this verb and one idea is that the menorah was on higher physical elevation so in order to lighted the co and the priest had to climb up a step another idea is that Aaron had to hold the fire to the wick until the candle flame went up all by itself but wait holding the fire to the candle until it burned steadily on its own isn't that kind of obvious for example if you'll tell me Piazza would you light a candle in a night go or hold the match next to it and pull them actually but the flame is not going up in the candle I can't tell you oh I let it know I didn't light it it's not lit so why would it have to be a special instruction in the Torah well this instruction to Aaron is actually teaching you something very important on how to access the light which runs in the world the purpose of the menorah was not just to like the ambience of the mission the Midrash actually tells us that Aramis was upset about lighting the menorah because all the other tribes they were designated for something of greater importance such as the sacrifices however in this is the message today the life which God wants to bring into the world he wants it to come through us that's the lighting of the menorah even though it seemed a small task and Aaron compared himself to others who had a more significant role Hashem tells him that those manure they would give light forever and through him all the blessings for the people would never come to an end and us all we have to do is to step up and let this light shine until it becomes a steady self-reliant glow to bless the world I hope you have a great your back
