hello how are you hope you had an
amazing Shabbat wanted to uh start off
the week with a nice K connecting last
week's par to this week's as well as to
the holiday so last
week's we learn about the disease ofar
is a spiritual anap physical disease we
mostly don't know much about it in our
day because it's rarely exists it still
exists there's actually a place in
Jerusalem uh where there's a hospital
especially for those people because the
disease is
incurable but nonetheless a uh the
reasons behind the disease is what we're
going to learn about there are 11
reasons of why this disease happens and
one of them is L saying L speaking about
somebody even if something is true and
you say it to and you know that that
true saying or or or sentence you're
going to say is going to hurt somebody
in any way uh is obviously it's it's a
big sin now why why why do we mention is
something we can learn about throughout
the entire year why is it connected to
right now because as we all know PES is
coming up we're only days away from the
holy amazing holiday of pesak and Hashem
is telling us that one of the major
obligations of PES is to remove all of
the out of our homes all of you know out
of the places we stay in whether it's in
our car in our home in our office
wherever you're going to be during the
holiday must be absent of
all but the time has come for us to
actually look at it in a little bit of a
different way what about the that's
inside us and I'm not talking about the
physical but actually the spiritual
all the different sins that we make on a
regular basis where we've almost become
accustomed to it where it's become part
of our nature where you know listen
somebody makes sins occasionally they
occasionally get upset about something
uh and they uh lose their mind and get
angry of course it's a great sin the
ramban says that when somebody gets
angry all types of G control him so
obviously anger is a sin it's a very bad
Sin but if you do it rarely and it's
once in a blue moon okay it's not uh
it's never going to be approved but it's
not you're not the worst person on
Earth but if your
temper has gotten to the point where
it's acceptable by you and everyone
around you to see you get so upset so
worked up about certain things in life
or really anything in life then
obviously there's a major problem and
this is where the situation comes in
where hasem is telling us listen you
have a problem you have to remove this
disease from you so Hashem is going to
give us signs what kind of signs did he
give the people of the
tarat when someone did something bad and
said something wrong and made
a the first sign that hasem sent him was
different colors on his
walls after the colors of his walls of
his house you know were were that way he
would ask for the Coen to come the Coen
would come see it and he would ident if
he identified it ASAT they would have to
destroy it have to remove everything out
of the house and destroy it so the
question is why does
AEM first affect the house why don't he
just send us like a sign like a little
zap in our brain every time we said why
don't he send us some type of message
different in our house because
unfortunately in today's world nothing's
really changed from 33 00 years ago and
we haven't really learned that much
unless we've literally connected
ourselves to hashem's instructions and
Hashem is telling us that unless it hits
your house you're not going to care
about it if it hits something else
you're always going to say oh it's bad
luck if a bad business deal didn't go
through you say ah the customer is bad
if a contract didn't go through ah it's
just a bad economy if a uh issue with
the wife ah she's just in a bad mood
maybe she has the time of the month one
of these crazy things that the Satan
himself puts in our brain to convince us
that it's something else and it's not
Hashem himself giving us a message but
when there's problems at home when
there's discoloration at home we start
reflecting we start looking at things
what did I do wrong what's going on why
I'm working so hard at work but yet
wife's not happy the kids are failing at
school no one wants to go to synagogue
no one wants to pray no one wants to do
anything no one gives me any respect and
the guy that's working his uh his heart
out every single day feels like he's
become a slave and I had this
conversation with somebody just the
other day and uh you know asked him the
question what's the difference between
the slaves of today and the slaves of
Egypt you know we're about to uh hear
the story once again in uh in PES and we
need to know the answer so the she said
no it's the same thing they they're both
slaves slaves people that are slaves
meaning people that are just dedicating
their life to work is okay but when it
gets to a point where it becomes their
life like it used to be for me then it's
obviously not okay you become a slave
what's the difference between today's
slave and the previous uh generation
slaves in Egypt they knew they were
slaves today we think we're winners
today we think we're just being
ambitious so that's something that we
always have to take into account back
into the issue of tarat
Hashem is telling us that when you have
problems at home when you have schom B
issues when your kids are not doing well
at work at UH at school when the pal
that you're getting that finally arrives
by the time it arrives to your home
there's not much
left you're having all of these issues
that means you have a problem with me
that means I'm sending you a message to
pay attention because if you don't
change it then the next stage advances
and this is one of the things that we
have to reflect on every single day but
the reality of it is that this is an
opportune time to do it right before PES
because when we're cleaning out the mess
out of the house that's not allowed in
PES even more important we need to clean
out the mess that's inside Us in this
week's par we
start with the story or the begin the
end of the story of what happened to the
two sons of aronen two sons of died in
last
week's and the starts
by hasem spoke to Moses after the death
of Aaron's two sons the question is why
did they die the says thatav and a these
two sons were more
righteous than Moshe and Aon more
righteous so how could they die M and
obviously are the greatest people that
ever lived how could these two that are
considered higher
die the answer is
arrogance got to a point where they said
listen look at us our father is Aron the
most important Coen in in history when a
mashia comes aronen is going to be the
Coen too Aron is the first Coen Aron has
something where AEM changed his DNA
forever not only him but all of his
descendants as we talked about in our
Torah and science classes uh you know on
Tuesdays we've showed it from Rabbi
zamir Cohen's book scientific proofs
that kohanim the people that are true
kohanim not just anyone that's called
Cohen because there's many of them that
are not even Jewish but true kohanim
which sometimes could even have a last
name like singer like Rabbi tovia singer
for example he's 154th generation
Cohen very righteous Rabbi and um the he
he is that theim actually have a
different DNA than all of
humankind
so even more
soen wow and then so they're saying oh
our father's aen our uncle is mosenu it
can't get better than that Uncle is
mosenu our aunt is Miram the propheus
one of the greatest prophets that ever
lived a river of water is following us
for 40 years in the desert just because
of
her received the
Torah he has the he has he's speaking to
God
directly I mean this this this how could
it be and nobody can better than us how
could we find how could we find anyone
that's a good fit for us this is where
the problem the fact that Moshe and were
all righteous people all amazing people
and they these two had the benefit of
having them related to them is it's
great it's
fantastic but when they took it to their
heads and made it an issue where they
said there's no woman in the world that
would be enough for us to marry because
they themselves were righteous they
themselves
were that's when they took something
good and turn it into something
disgusting that's when they took
something that Hashem gave them as a
gift and turned it into poison and this
is one of the five reasons of why when
they went into The KES kashim when they
were not permitted Hashem killed them
instantly a normal righteous person that
makes a sin Hashem doesn't kill them on
the spot he gives them chances even
someone that's even less righteous he
gives him chances but these two did
something that's completely detestable
by hasem disgusting to
Hashem showing pride is not something
that Hashem likes in any way this is one
of the most important things we need to
learn about because when we started this
year we talked about listen anger is not
good is not
good but why were I mentioning arrogance
because arrogance is the reason for
both arrogance pride is the reason and
the foundation for all major sins
because someone that has
arrogance can make all sins why is
somebody
saying because they think that they're
better than somebody else that's why why
is somebody angry because they think
that they're entitled to something and
the world owes them something well the
reminder here in this sh is that hem
doesn't work for you you are here to
work for him you are here to serve him
so to have any Pride when Hashem
specifically told you this is something
that's
considered disgusting to hem obviously
reminds us that during this PES when
we're about to entertain all of the
family we're about to get together with
everybody else we have a few days to
work on our pride and get prepared to
not show up as a show and tell but
instead of just telling the people of
how we've improved and how we're going
to continue working on ourselves in the
next year to improve even better with
getting closer to
Hashem we'll have an amazing week this
week and uh if there's any specific
issues you want to talk about this week
we will I'm going to try to also mention
certain things about P this week
and we'll also have some
call
