Could Someone be Shot on Fifth Ave and No One Care? with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

anybody [Music] shallow malaikum everybody welcome back to the Ubuntu big madrash welcome home to Torah a warm welcome in the stove we are entering hello fantastic so there's no doubt that the partiote match up I mean when you go to war you should know impartial team which we're in the beginning talks about fighting with your Yates are out the yachatov against the Yates Sahara and a war so this is like the real Warriors whoever's watching this is a real Warrior and we're going to try to use the Hebrew Source sheets to improve our Hebrew and to get a better understanding of course you have to dig into the Hebrew itself to find all the nuances of the clear car and that the Torah itself is trying to um to try to bring forth for instructions for daily living the Torah is our instruction manual and you look back and say what does this have to do with anything we're talking about if you find a slain person sin a slain person be found in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess lying in the field and is not known who slew him not only do you not know who slew him so let's look at the Hebrew first on the sword sheets that I gave him by the way if you want to find the link to the Hebrew Source sheets that you can find in the link below as well as if you're interested in the English source which I translate just the sources please send me an email by the way I want to remind everybody that we are beginning our campaign for our fundraiser in which we distribute money for the high holidays takes a while to reach our goal so we started today so you can be amongst the first to contribute and we're going to talk about Sedaka also kindness to strangers and kindness to people we know as well so let's begin with Deuteronomy chapter 21 I want you to all be familiar with verses one through eight even though it begins with the idea when you find a dead person a corpse in the ground on the ground now in the land that's how they're translating it but it's Adama it could have used the clear card will point out by the way for those watching for the first time or those watching many times and we are dealing with the nitty-gritty of the Hebrew text so I want you to really become familiar with the words and don't give up because the principles that the clear guard gives over are so fundamental that whatever Hebrew you don't understand again we're trying to translate everything so you will get it so when you find this corpse it could have used the land that's usually the word used to artists this is talking about the land which Hashem gave you which is Eric Israel in order to possess it was so dead this person this lame person was just found uh fallen into the into the um into the field and guess what not only do you not know really the question is was it the person slain or who slain him you don't know who slew him in a lot of cases you don't even know who he is but in this case for sure you don't know who the murderer was if you don't know who the murderer is we have a problem okay and then what happens the zacchanim and the shof team the judges and the elders they go out and they do several very interesting things they're going to measure um they're going to check out the cities that are close by Halal which ones are closer they're going to measure from the nose of the corpse to the city the closest city or town that has a a small Sanhedrin you have to have 23 judges that sit on the court in order to have so if there was this a closer town that didn't have the judges you would go to to the next closer town and then the Elders of that town are going to come out and make some kind of Declaration but first they're going to measure so then is going to take they're going to take the elders are going to take from that City and eglat bakar we're talking about egla we're going to call it negla roof eventually but a calf a young cath that happens to be female I share low ubadbo which was not worked bow and it didn't have a harness or any type of O carrying something to the field or a uh what do they put on the the animals of Verdin a plow some sort so now the elves is going to go down to the uh to the place with the egel most likely is a very strong River that's how the gomor expresses it however it also could mean and probably does mean in other cases where there's no River down to a uh maybe the riverbed in Israel you have a lot of riverbeds that are dry all year round except when it pours to a place where you can't really sow it's untilled ground it's ground that cannot be tilled and there's a whole discussion whether it's in the past or the future but let's assume for the pro for the time purpose everyone agrees it will not be tilled in the future and that's going to be significant remind me ask me why later on if I don't mention it below userrea right it's it's it cannot be sown right there's nothing going to grow from it very important piece of information the arfu Sham and the idea of our food basically is the the breaking of the back of the neck there for the alcohol in that Target or rough or terrain that Valley and then the colony we're going to approach who are the konim the Bene Levy the next lady we already know these are people who are chosen to serve Hashem Hashem they're going to bless the people in the name of God I'll be him is interesting right to their mouths obviously coal Riv the call Naga and they're going to say some very interesting things here in the English they're going to say I've just lost my place here and by their mouth show every controversy and every lesion be judged expresses that is what the job of the judges and the coneemer to do because right we already measured whichever city is closest they're going to literally they're going to wash their hands over and above this calf after they already broke its back or neck in this rugged Valley they're going to answer they're going to respond and say yeah they're going to make this outrageous claim nobody's even accusing them who's going to accuse the Elders of of actual murder and yet they're going to say our hands are clean right we did not spill this blood vein in it they're going to say we didn't even see it Israel and they're going to say that the Jewish people your people have been atoned for okay so this is a very interesting thing is also very interesting right and you shall abolish the shedding of innocent blood from among you uh because okay and they're going to be um and so the blood shall be atoned for them I don't think I have the last verse in English in Hebrew but anyway it says and you shall abolish the shedding of innocent blood from among you and you shall do what is proper in the eyes of the Lord now that is the verses we're going to be dealing with however the Clear Car wants to point out some very interesting ideas right away so back into the clear car and it says like this so we're actually just beginning now right when you find this corpse this person who was slain in the land which the Lord is giving you the abarabanel is bothered and he asked regarding this Parsha rights he says this is not really the proper place if you have the whole Torah organized in sections subjects these these part these um these few partially out all deal with war if you notice at the bottom if you go to page two right above B I'm sorry right above number two I wrote these four partio to War uh dealing with war for example um going out to war do not be afraid that's a very important topic the yaffa Torah by the way that's the young Maiden the beautiful woman who was captured in war this is where the rom-bomb begins discussing the laws of the seven Noah the seven nokai laws when he discusses yaphator because she would be the perfect I'm not going to call it guinea pig the first example of a Ben noach coming in or even a gertosov so to speak coming into the Jewish people and attaching themselves to Jewish people that's before conversion if she converts and she's a full Jew anyway number three we're talking about guarding against anything evil that's also discussed in the Parsha and um that for a new husband doesn't go to war so all these partial when I say partially with all the paragraphs are dealing with War and what do we find here that if someone this person is not killed in war that's for sure okay this person was found in someone's you know riverbed or for that matter um in a valley or an open field that has no well we'll see does not produce anything that's going to be very significant what I'm telling you so the clear card goes on he says his claim is I could not make this up but the clear card is saying that the barbanell's reason is sort of weak and not only that many other people have approached that there are many other anomalies within the Parsha that other commentators uh approach you know try to explain and the clear car is claiming that they are far from uh a reasonable answer however now he begins his answer the auto now he wants you to raise up your eyes he's going to answer this these questions of what we have from khazal themselves from what it says in in the Gomorrah and the madrish in in in and even in Rashi remember this came after Rashi anyway the first thing he's quoting is the gomoran Sota 46a I do have that um on page two in the English if you want to just glance at it while I read the Hebrew Tanya so it's partner Bryson on the son of Shaw said these are words are interesting why does the Torah even speak about this idea heavy egler rufa why is there an is it needed all these details I'm going to call them they're very strange no real meaning seemingly behind all the details about bringing this calf whose neck needs to be broken so you know what God is saying payroll that if you look at the details so this has to be a calf less than a year old that it didn't give birth so the the type of calf you're bringing the type of animal you're bringing is something that did not give off fruits meaning it didn't have any Offspring very important to know that and where is it killed you know where is the back of the neck broken in a place where things cannot grow but his Hebrew is she ain't always say Perros it's not it's not able to give forth fruit and produce and the atonement is coming for right somebody killed somebody and they prevented them or they didn't allow them to have any more offspring again the word Perros now the Gomorrah actually asked this question what would happen if the person who was slain was not able to um to give off in other words they were impotent or they were eunuch or they were really old and you the assumption is they would not be able to have children so it says if you want to say this is all about being fruitful seemingly as we just said all the ideas here the idea that you're bringing something that cannot produce because he couldn't produce well what if he couldn't produce anyway I mean you're not allowing to produce but what if he couldn't produce from the get-go for some reason are you trying to say that if the person was incapable of producing that you would not have broken the back of the neck of this calf when we do mitzvos we are producing right you go to purchase and then you would expect but it goes into his character that he was righteous right that's what todos are told those what you produce is a good name a shame Tove right after one passes from this world what's left only the good name okay so let's talk about Mitzvahs which is very strange it's almost like we're reading the Gomorrah and we don't really fully understand what in the world is going on here so the partial of NASA whoa this is going to open our eyes and if you go to number three on the story sheet this is Deuteronomy chapter 20. so this is the end of chapter 20 verses 19 and 20. another we just read verses in 21 1 through 8 or 9. here you're just going back two verses at the end of the last chapter and it speaks about when you besiege a city for quite a while yamim in order to wage Wars okay and you want to capture it and you you have a warning you're not allowed to destroy its trees and interesting ready by wielding an ax against them are you or are you not wielding an ax against the back of the neck of the uh Aguilar roof that's what it's called the back of the neck you're using an ax a hatchet an X very interesting and what are you supposed to do you write any tree you're not supposed to destroy because you may eat from them that means a fruit tree a fruit tree you're not allowed to destroy you're not allowed to cut them down as the as the verse says from the fruit trees you may eat that's what it means and they you may not cut down or destroy okay now there's a very interesting statement right here in the middle now that's more like a question maybe it's a rhetorical question because it is a fact but still a question nevertheless is man um well here they translate like this is the tree of a field of man and that could be the correct translation because it says is man a tree of the field even though that's how Adam comes before it's a Sunday but the subject really is the comparison is the eights of Sade because we're talking about an it's a southern and we're talking about a tree of the field is that going to go into the siege before you what we're going to get into is we're going to open up this into a in a very interesting way however a tree that you know is not a fruit tree right a fruit tree Rock eats Michael who right if you know this tree does not produce food that you may destroy and cut down the karata okay let's go back into the Clear Car he wants to show us there's a connection between the last two verses of chapter 20 and the first few verses right here he's quoting from a Gomorrah in Tinus okay so he's bringing this up from Gamora Tinus and it says like this if the rabbi the sage is fitting now we're going to find out what that means then from him you may eat from him you may learn him you should not cut down or destroyed I have to explain what that means obviously it's not talking about don't kill him because you're not allowed to kill anyway so rock eights I share Tada it's only the tree that you know kilo hates makahu that is not a fruit tree that you may cut down and destroy he's recommar is comparing this with Tom Shayna hagoon who's not fit and proper let me just tell you right now because I don't want you to walk away with the wrong idea we're not talking about real destruction in fact the word correct means to cut off so cutting off obviously it's one of those most severe punishments in Judaism is to be cut off there's only 36 sins that have that type of of punishment nevertheless there's a mock low because there's an argument does that mean dying early does that mean being sniffed out from the world to come and there's different ages when it says about dying early nobody wants to be in the state of Courage of course there's always truva but nobody wants to be in that Everlasting state of being cut off now what it means here is if you're learning by a rabbi who is hagoon who's fit do not stop learning from him do not cut off from learning from him so that makes it easier to swallow this whole idea right and therefore one who is not fit to teach meaning he might be a Tomah he might be absolutely brilliant he may even know his ABCs but he has no bedside manner he does he's lacking quite whatever it need whatever you need to be either a leader uh I mean he might even be a sinner I mean it's really hard to imagine but we're going to talk about Revy Mayer's rebbe who he did continue to learn with rebby Mayer learned with Alicia benavia and we're going to see soon why that is actually permissible in some cases and why the main dick dictum is not to learn with someone who's not fitting and that is so you don't learn from their actions okay so we're going to see when it is permissible and when it's not permissible but this strangely enough that was that's what the Gamora Tinus seemed to have implied that even though we're talking about a tree then it's through in the middle is is a tree like a man of a field and then all of a sudden we're switching over to this idea that the fruit tree is like a rabbi who's fit and the non-fruit tree because it doesn't produce fruits and this all comes right before this idea of hatching and hatching the back of this ego that the sages or the the Elders of the city and the Sanhedrin is bringing down to an open field in order to do what to atone for but the details here are that it's a calf that cannot produce fruit in a land that cannot produce fruit and it's on the atonement is for the killing of not allowing the person the human being to produce more fruit I hope you're realizing there's a connection somewhere between what we're talking about with the angular rufa and these trees that can produce fruit or not produce fruit if you don't see it yet hopefully you will see it shortly so the clear card goes on to explain aim Kane if this is true that there's a connection that any enlightened person should be able to see with their spiritual eye that the proximity of these two paragraphs the deal one with the the trees in war and the details surrounding this angular roof and the murder are connected in some way uh because either way you look at it em if the real reason behind the breaking of the neck of this calf Shalom if it's really on the idea of atoning somehow for um not allowing this person to continue to be fruitful and multiply as well then shop here in this it works out well we can understand the connection that there is a concern by the Torah regarding a tree that produces fruit you should not cut it down um I think this is where he's going to awaken us to an idea remember I asked why didn't it says and it says you find this person in the field in the land the word and the word Adam is the same root because where does Adam come from none other than the Adama so he says mishpatlam it's one concept of judgment there's one judgment regarding both of them what does that mean since the verse in verse 19 said he had them right it's more of a rhetorical question but it's still a question nevertheless is the tree of the field a man so the clear card says remember we read the Gamora in Sota that it concluded we're not talking about actual progeny children fruit you know Offspring we're talking about the Mitzvahs the person could not do you're not allowing them to do mitzvahs because according to the conclusion we said so too departure before when we explained about the tree that gives off fruit don't cut yourself off from learning from that person okay don't cut off from learning because what does that person do he's fit to teach Torah he's producing pre-ates the fruit of the Tree of Life I mean the tour itself is called the Tree of Life guys you're following this idea the Torah is called the tree of life and it produces fruit so that's what the time that's what the rabbi is doing hopefully in his students he's creating more Mitzvahs people can do more obviously if he's lohagoon then it says you shouldn't he's not fake you don't learn from him because you're going to learn from his actions which is the opposite of doing more Mitzvahs that's assuming that he's quite an influencer and Powerful in the negative way so he mentions here according to the conclusion we talked about in the Gomorrah that it was mitzvah's there the tutorial was so concerned from not to step yourself separate yourself from such a Thomas who produces you know the misses that come from the eighth crying let me know creating the same species the tamea Ani the clear car is in absolute bewilderment I'll call him a fortune regarding all the other commentators something as simple as this they didn't express it either they didn't see it themselves and didn't express it but in the end they didn't express it so he's assuming they didn't see it if you see it you want to share it right now let's continue in the verse the rabbis expelled regarding this verse in 19 where it says from it from the tree the fruit tree you may eat the otol optic wrote but that fruit tree you may not cut down remember the rabbis explain this as referring to the rabbi the Taman so he says very important when you're dealing with midrash truth is we deal with any rushes that you never take the simple shot and discount it entirely you must use that as the basis for whatever you're talking you have to understand the simple understanding and that remains so we discussed the idea of whether it was the trees that's has to be what it means has to refer to the trees you're not going to remove it entirely and say it's only talk about you're going to say talking about trees and from there we conduction and he says so once you realize you can't take it out of its simple shot then what do the rabbis are doing then Ella sharazal Ataris they actually want to come and make a very important point they want to answer something what would be the question we would all have why is the Torah so concerned about cutting down a fruit tree what's wrong with that you need it for war elevated in order to learn from it when learn from it one of the 13 harmonutical principles is what is so those 13 harmonical principles are the principles that Moses received from God in order to interpret and for all future and to understand the Torah as well so the cowboy Homer is if this is true then logic dictates that has to be true so what is it about in order to learn from it the kava Homer regarding man what is man he's that's what he's here to do to produce righteous fruit of Torah that's what he's here to do meaning the since the toe is called eighth time it's the Tree of Life so the Torah is the tree of life you're here to produce mixes to produce Good Deeds to work on yourselves to attack in your character to fix your character to be the best people you can be when you go to heaven they're not going to ask they're going to ask a lot of questions one of them is were you you not going to ask you were you Moshe rabenu you were Aaron posting were you joking no they're going to ask you were you you okay uh that just reminds me of my wife just got a book called you it's probably a plug for him because man is the tree of the field and what does he do as the tree of the field he's oh you say preet Sadiq vids he produces righteous fruit meaning payrolls meaning righteous activity and he grows sadaka remember I gave you a plug in the beginning that we just started our campaign we have 30 families that are relying on us to help them throughout the year mostly during the holidays and this is our campaign for this time of the year so dig deep into your pockets okay anyway the imhak Peter Torah al-ates and if the Torah is so concerned because we asked why would the tower be so concerned about these trees that produce fruit so if the toe really is so concerned about these trees that produce fruit those trees have no consciousness of course we know that every inanimate object really does have Angelic forces and energy behind it but they're not humans they don't have I know there's Tree Huggers I get it but I'm talking about they're not human beings you can cut the wood for fuel right and you know you're not you're not a murderer you're not even close to a murderer I hope right you're not even the category crazy so right that's that's the truth so these this this thing this tree even though the Torah is so concerned about it nevertheless it's not we'll call it inanimate for the sake right it doesn't have any Das uh or understanding comprehension or understanding how much more so the Torah is concerned about the the um the righteous fruits or the person who's able to reach lamest and Perfection through the Torah alkane so therefore we see right away right after the whole discussion about the fruit trees right away you find the discussion about the egalarufa Hashem came and from the angular roof it certainly seems there that totora has such a great concern for the fruits the Mitzvahs that this person could have should have might have would have had had it remained and therefore it's an atonement so I have a lot of source material I want to go through with you and before we actually go into some of the source material I sent you guys um I have a little of a uh a print off myself regarding this idea why is it so important that the leaders are going out there they weren't even accused of the responsibility for what took place somebody was found murdered so you should know the responsibility for this chain of unfortunate circumstances may have to be laid at the feet of the city's leadership however distinguished their reputations every grouping of human beings large and small contains within it on one hand individuals who are vulnerable and needy and on the other those who are predatory and predisposed to violence when the paths of members of these two groups cross for example when there's a famine when there's there's a real like you know high unemployment whatever it is you're gonna you're gonna come in the across these people you might be at the Bloomingdale's in L.A and find yourself in a held up or a mob robbery right you don't know you're going to these high-class stores and then all of a sudden 100 people come in and start stealing things for example when food is scarce or extreme poverty is widespread the Torah actually suggests that blame for violence cannot be confined to the immediate perpetrator of the crime but rather it has to be shared by those mandated to create and enforce the spirit of cooperation mutual respect and safety within the municipal precincts so the implication of the elders declaration in the ritual during the Eglo roof of by claiming our hands are clean is part of the repair for the manifestations of the fraying of the social Fabric and it's going to be the prime responsibility of the political judicial military and executive branches of government um there's two seeming contradictory gamoras one is in Sota which we read and it understands regarding the elders are referring to the murder victim that's why when we read the the English we weren't sure who we're talking about we don't know who he is who the dead person or the murderer the usami takes a different perspective and we're Shifting the focus on the society itself and the justice system so taking that idea that the rabbis explain in terms of the murderer that he didn't come into our hands in other words it's really sad it's it's like you don't even turn the news anymore what the Gamora what the gomor here is expressing is when they say the blood is not on our hands they're saying that we did not re you know no cash bail that we're not just letting people run the streets anymore we're giving harsh punishments we're keeping people you know in a proper Rehabilitation situation we don't just catch violent criminals and let them loose otherwise they are to blame right it's so obvious I you know for many people it's obvious obviously for many people it's not so obvious for some reason not getting too political but it's saying here and I'll just say it again that they're claiming this murderer did not come into our hands and we freed him without subjecting him to punishment we did not see him committing the crime and failed to bring him to Justice when you have a Serial criminal something needs to be done by the leadership and when the leadership fails it's a failure of the system and they are guilty I hope that's clear as mud um individuals reduced to desperate circumstances in order to be able to survive will will feel completely I'm sorry they'll feel compelled to engage in Risk taking that can sometimes prove fatal while unrepentant criminals who are allowed to continue to Rack wreck havoc with impunity will simply erode the quality of life within the community therefore the baked in the Jewish court if their failure to convict a criminal who subsequently murders someone is tantamount to the judges themselves being guilty or at least accused of spilling blood you understand we ask the question we never accuse them of anything we didn't suspect them of killing somebody it's a very interesting idea something else I wanted to bring out what do we know about avraham Sat by an essel right he was known to have this open tent and he took in guess so what's the word eschel you know the the acronym and then there's a lamid he provided them food this is Crescent IA drink oh hell I'm sorry a drink is sheer and then the lament is a different argument but it's either Lena shelter or Livia which is escorting and this is one of the things those sages we didn't see that he basically was not forgotten about they the people escort their guests it's actually brought down that once you do uh here it says here five things they should feed their guests they should give them drink they should accompany them on their journey and provide a place to sleep and they should give some kind of a gift as well which reminds me I have a gift for you but okay um so what does it mean a company on the journey so the minimum is for almost like six feet but if someone really doesn't even know how to get out of town it's best to get them on their Journey if someone leaves your house at least ask them do you know where you're going because when they walk out of their house and they're looking I don't even know where I'm going as soon as they walk out your front door go to where you can point them go as far as you need to go to point them in the right direction now from a psychological or maybe a metaphysical point of view it's once you begin the Journey of accompanying them even at six or eight feet it's like you're with them all the way now in what how does that work because most people who are you know we're not blaming the victim here okay most people who are vulnerable look vulnerable right you never hear that idea when you're around the dogs barking and some would say don't jump don't be afraid because the dog senses the fear and then he goes right because you stand your ground you have um that's already a great defense the dog may not I'm not giving anybody advice here you may not attack right most likely might not I don't know I'm not I'm not even a dog expert this is what I heard right so when you're walking through you walk through the wrong part of town by accident so if you walk with fear the the hoodlums they can feel it and know it just like the dogs do right and um and your easy pickings but if you know where you're going you feel the person who just you rent their house they fed you they drank you you know what I mean they gave you what to drink and they walked you on the way that their presence and maybe we're talking metaphysically here they're Angels whoever it is that the energy is following you you're walking with some greater sense of confidence maybe even mystically you're being guarded and therefore the the vulnerability isn't there and therefore the attackers or the hoodlums whoever is even thinking that it's like you know they're not going to think twice about it right that'll they'll um a very important idea we want to find the murderer okay we want to find the murderer so believe it or not this whole seeming weird ritual that's taking place is to get everyone talking okay as soon as the elders and the Sanhedrin has to be involved they're going to do the measuring but then the elders are going to come out and they're going to make this whole declaration we do not want I have a list here we want to know who the murderer is because that's going to be part of the atonement process for the Jewish people as well and we don't want to leave the wife as an aguna okay so she needs to know that he's dead we need to know who the murderer is and then the children who are supposed to get the uh the The Inheritance if they don't know their father's dead they can't really use or enter the properties that belongs only to the father remember we don't know you either it's we don't know who he is well we don't know who the murderer is let me finish but he's not from that town so if he's not from that town so he could be like no no you know many morgues they have a little tag called John Doe or maybe Jane Doe of course somebody knows who he is but in order to farsane in order to publicize so that not only number one we could find out who the murderer is we'll talk about that in a second but what about the the wife she doesn't know her husband's dead until the whole world's talking about it okay interestingly because now we're talking about the word I ego or egla so the Gematria uh well actually before we get to that it's Ayan Gala so Gale is to reveal so the i in is Gale the I reveals explains actually let me just back up one second the martial says that the intense is that these all these things awaken the heart of men to really think maybe they can clarify who is the murderer so in other words that's the original idea right besides saving the wife from being an aguna and getting the kids you really want to identify who the murderer is and so the Ben Yehuda then beneshkai separates the eye in from the word Gala egla so you see it's the eye that it reveals meaning it's an Awakening of whoever saw we want witnesses to come forward so not only you're Awakening the whole idea for the ideas but how are you going to find the murderer I don't police investigation sometimes they go on TV and they reveal certain things and then they say there's a call in line for anybody who's you know it could be anonymous but we want Witnesses we need Witnesses so our iron is the witness should be revealed and then then it would be told over to the basement another idea that the Benya Hoda brings down is the Gematria of egla which is 108 and the word nacha where's where the eggler roof is supposed to be uh the neck is broken is 88. the whole together it spells it's 196 which is the same gamachi as coats coats is like a thorn now the reason I think he's bringing it up because there is a um a kargamyonaton who says something like so crazy on on this verse he says that that for some reason because I'm reading it that when this angular rufa when this calf is killed worms come out from its belly button and then it will find through kodesh through some kind of a mysterious way it that worm will find its way to the murderer and then when we find out who the murder is we take him to court so there's some really spooky stuff going on here um but back into this idea of coats because there's this other idea um that I think it's really conscious someone who's feeling guilty feels extremely uncomfortable right when you put on the news about a murder so the person who's guilty like he starts acting strange right now many people are caught right because they start like lying and denying and all kinds of weird stuff goes on in their lives where everyone says you know ever since that murder this guy's been acting really strange but I think that's how they caught the guy in uh Idaho or something you know like I'm sure there's many many cases like this so there's something that's under the skin like a coats a coats is a thorn that is just bothering and so Troublesome to the guilty party that it eventually comes out because he wants to get rid of that coats right sometimes people actually go to the police station I give up I Surrender I can't live with myself you know what I mean just knowing that I am so guilty even they don't even feel bad about the person they murdered maybe they do but many times it's just the guilt that is driving them insane so I think that's what it that that's a beautiful idea there's another idea that the actual word for igla is 108 it also matches the word gehenam the person is living a like a living hell right and that's how people who have eventually confess why did you eventually confess I just was like it was like a living hell I could live with myself and forget about the relationships they have I'm sure they go to shot because there's no way for someone to be able to keep up such a um a facade and okay I think I've covered that already all right now the Maharaja the mahara explains when it says it doesn't say it says when you find the corpse in the Adama and he's the one who explains the word Adam is called that because of the Adamas and this is so interesting what he says oh if you want to look it looks like this it's Sota mem Zion I'm a bet on the notes so right in the middle it says I think you should all pay attention to this when it says when you find this Halal this dead corpse in the ground or on the ground it doesn't say Harris remember man himself comes from the Adama and this is why ready for this because the ground brings forth what potential means power but it also means potential because it's it's power that's in potential into actuality so the ground has all this power to bring into actuality through the growth of the fruits the fruits themselves is the actuality so when a man certainly or similarly a man brings forth just like the ground remember the ground does it so do we we're made of elements we also have a lot of potential only in potential and then it can be brought forth into actuality how are your day Torah of the Mitzvahs through the Torah and the missiles that's going to bring all the potential into actuality into fruits that's why when we talked about fruits earlier we were talking about payrolls for tomatore mitsus now when a man is killed the Adam when a man is killed lohotsi at kokotov Ella his or his potential ceases it can never come out into fruition uh Corolla that's fitting for him okay so from the fact that we're talking about the ground itself shallow Hotsy uh that it's not bringing forth its potential into actuality properly we're bringing the the this calf to atone even though that very calf also is in the same situation did not bring and never had children so it never actually brought um children into the world didn't reach its potential either now we did say isn't this is an atonement the conem work in the temple doing atonement and yet they're the ones coming forth saying this is an atonement and it's outside of the temple compound and we're not calling it a Corbin because the Corbin cannot be done outside the temple compound so what's going on here so the enough Yosef explains you know when it when it says the Torah says at least in the Gomorrah here so basically there's a measure that says the Torah itself asks what is the punishment for sinners so in other words if the Torah is an inanimate object but if it could talk it would ask God God or if it was asked to the Torah sorry it was asked to the Torah what would Sinners receive as punishment so the Torah would say what it says in the Torah it says you bring a guilt offering and then you get atonement well guess what God was asked so you got the Torah remember we think of God and the Torah is one which they are obviously but they're coming from different perspectives so the Torah is telling you what's written black and white they need an atonement God has asked what is their punishment for Sinners he said to chuva all you got to do is juva but you know what true of a reference requires regret and confession so this is the confession part he's going to talk about the whole idea of bringing this poor forth is the regular rufa is a ritual that surrounds a confession so it's not an atonement from a Corbin point of view it's an atonement from achuva point of view and confession is part of atonement is this not perfectly fit to be listening during ELO the beginning you know rosh hodish confession is part of the atonement process so he says like this so the Torah was asked what's its punishment and said okay you have to bring an ashen and God was asked what do you bring he says all you have to do is do chuva and you're toned right Yom keep poor that's going to be in 40 days from now if that's the case the reason for the agala for the agla is for the vidoy purpose part of the chuva process and if that's the case now we understand why this not a clerbit but why this calf is being brought outside the temple because it's not a Corbin okay and he says the whole ideas and through it shall be revealed the murder part of what we discuss is how does the murder get revealed if you want to think of this worm coming out of the belly button and somehow showing us who the murder is great you think of it as a coats being sent underneath this guy's skin and him just going to the local police station and handing himself in and saying I can't take it anymore or his guilt whatever it is you're getting an idea that there's some really good truthful stuff that we see with our own eyes just needs to be explained in a sensible fashion okay so there's still a lot of stuff to go through but I won't hold you up um we're going to continue this misrat Hashem next week uh my wife asked me to give a share in uh Thomas Devore to women starting next Wednesday if you guys know about it you know about it it's not going to be live or record but maybe it'll be recorded so we'll see see you later anyway I wish everyone a gesund to shut a Tova coming up like this is it the chauffeur is being blown tomorrow morning every day for the next 29 days and then we skip a day and then we're gonna blow it for the for real no even right is there a city think about this is there a city that hears the chauffeur blow that doesn't tremble so think about what's happening here there's no such thing as a simple homicide right even though someone I know says I can shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and not not get uh not not be arrested for it but anyway so there's no such thing as a simple homicide every life is a universe and um and uh bisrat Hashem we should each reach our own potential we should each figure out who we are not who the next guy is got enough trouble finding out who we are what our potential is using the Torah in the midst to help reach us and the fruits thereof and we can only feel any pity and you know for those who are not reaching their potential as if they're squandering away those those fruits so this right Hashem will continue to grow in Torah and uh mitzviz and we'll have a great Shabbos and I'm wishing everyone a great Shabbos and a great life and we'll see you next week [Music]
