Givers & Takers - Acharei Mot - Rabbi Kaplan on The Weekly Torah Portion

So if you remember in pari the sons of died and then give various commands the Torah went off on Tazria and Mitsurra and the Torah resumes last week double header. Then the Torah resumes and it goes Moshe speaks to Moshe after the death of the two sons of Aron. Now, the first question you have to deal with here is pageuh 636. Page 636. First question we have to deal with here is why does it say the two sons of Aaron? We know how many there were. Why is it two the two sons of Aaron? And uh the other two just died. What's that? Because the other two just died. No, we're talking about these two. We're after the death of the two sons of Aaron. It could have just said after the death of the sons of Aon. We know how many there were. I thought he has more. He does, but it says over here, Hashem spoke to Moshe after the death of the two sons of Aaron. We're talking about the two that died. So why does it have to say the two that died? Not my question. It's the question. Why does it say it just said after the death of the sons of Aon? We know that sons are died. It was two parases ago. That's what Derim asks. Zheim answers that remember we had mentioned that one of their flaws is they didn't consult with each other which means that theoretically had either one of them done what they did and brought this ktorus had gone into the holy of holies it could be they wouldn't have died what happened was as a result of not consulting with each other they both ended up in the kesh shakodoshim at the same time and we're going to see later in this para that when Hashem gives we're going to see that it's going to talk about the yummipper service Aon is told that he's going to go Moshe is tell going to tell Aaron from the command of Hashem that he's going to go into the holy of holies and then the Torah emphasizes and no one should be in the holy of holies with Aaron when he goes in there that means there's one one one per customer it's like a phone booth it's one per customer you don't you don't go into I don't know if you guys ever seen a phone booth they don't have the phone booths nowadays but in the old days they used to have phone booths and And they were very small phone booths. As a matter of a friend of mine was here in Israel. This is one of those only in Israel stories. This back in the day when you had a you know public phones. So he goes into the phone booth and it starts uh it start drizzling outside. He's talking on the phone and this other guy you know an older guy enters the phone booth with him. So he says to him but telephone. He says can't get any. He goes, "No, no, I mean, you know, it's a private phone call." He goes, "What are you, the Shabbach? You got a lot of nerve telling me to get out of your phone booth." So, so the the the uh that's like in Israel, if anybody ever see you notice, everybody ever stumbles. Somebody falls on the sidewalk. Somebody always says, "Lot," you ever see people say that lot. Lot doesn't help once you're down on the ground. You know, lot told me lot before I went down, not after I went down. when once I'm on the ground it's very loud already lot loud so so the uh uh so so the first the flaw over here is it's emphasizing schnearon that the two of them ended up in the holy of holies at the same time which according to the orim had they not ended up there at the same time they would have died and that's again a consequence of not having been willing to consult with each other which we spoke about yeah Lenny go ahead so it's not the drunkenness so according Lenny's asking what about all the other things that it says drunkenness and they were more is learning that this was the main problem. He seems to be learning this the main problem. Okay. But then it says I want to tell you a very important concept here. It says so the says means they were so close to Hashem. We have a we have a concept of the Gomorrah uses an expression holds sadikim to a hair's breath. Hold sadikim to a hair's breath. And what that means is what it sounds like it means is that you know your average happy golucky Jew cuts us a little bit of slack. if he steps out of line even a little bit and is saying that was they were so close to God were so close to God that they're being held for this a to a very high exacting standard that's how that's how the orim hears the word vikorvasum corvos doesn't just mean physical proximity when they came close to god by going into the holy of holies varvasum means because of their uh spiritual level that they're close to god okay Now, there's a very interesting idea here that Rev Destler says, a fascinating idea and it's so so if you think about it, you'll see that it's it's it's it's just so accurate. Physical vision is limited. When you see something with your eyes, you can't imagine what somebody's seeing with a binoculars or with a telescope. You can't even imagine it. You only, you know, you're seeing up to a certain point. this guy sing all the way into into you know whatever he's singing it's enlarged and whatever else it is you know you go if you ever been at a concert not that I have been but I have you know so you need binoculars or a sporting event you need binoculars what you see without the binoculars and what you see with the binoculars is two different things completely different things you can see with the binoculars you can see the details of the guy's face you know but here you basically see something so in in this in in the rnney realm it's the same thing and what Destler says is somebody for example he divides people in the world there are two people the world's divided into two types of people what are they choosing that's one type of division listen we say it all the time and we make it right we make it we make meaning you know that that we're different than all the rest of the nations that is true there's also a division called male and female And the Gomorrah says women says women are a separate nation. That's what the Gomorrah says. You think it's me? It's not me. I'm telling you it's not me. The Gomorrah says and I was once thinking about this. I was once thinking about this because remember anything the Gomorrah says if they're using an expression they could have said women could have said women are different than men. They could have said women are from Mars, men are from women from Venus, men are from Mars. They could have said that also. It says women are a different nation. I was thinking about that expression. What is the most distinguishing feature of two nations? What's the most distinguishing feature between two nations? What exactly? Language. Women speak a different language than men. It's a different language. What they say? Somebody once said it's it's funny, but it's not funny. If you want to understand, if you want to if you want to know what a woman means, don't listen to what she says. Look at her face. Because that's when you find out what she really means. If I say to my wife, "Hi, you know, I just got a phone call. They got nine guys rented a gym. They need a 10th guy for the minions. Okay. If I go out and play some basketball on a Thursday night, can I go? Do you mind if I go? I don't mind." Yeah. Really? Better look at her face because on the one hand, she might not mind. On the other hand, I don't mind may mean, have you ever experienced waterboarding? Right. That's what that's what it may mean. And so so they but it's a different language. Women talk a different language than men. Okay. There are he divides there are men and women. They're Jews and non-Jews. Revved divides the world into two types of people. Can we open up some doors and windows over here gentlemen? So we get some air. Revved Resler divides the world into givers and takers. Some people are givers and some people are takers. And some people you know some of us have a little bit of both. you know, we have 80% giver, 20% taker or or or but those are two types of people. You're a giver, a taker. A giver, sorry, a taker can't the same way that somebody physically physical vision is limited, your vision is limited, too. A taker can't fathom what's going on in the in the in in the in the mind of a giver. If you take somebody who is a giver, who's thinking about other people, who's a balet, who's always doing for other people, you take a a aju and then you take a a politician cannot fathom why would somebody give to other people where there's nothing in it for him. He can't. No, keep it open, please. If a politician can't fathom, why would somebody possibly want to do for other people? because the way a politician you know there's one of the great Jewish uh activists there was rabbi Mosha sharer was he was the head of a good Israel of America this was a man who was very very well connected there are pictures of him he had connections to presidents the vice presidents in the halls of power he was friends with the governor of New York what's his name the guy who's now accused the guy's on trial now uh Giuliani he was good friends with Giuliani had him do the invocation when he became the when he went as the mayor at one point he He he he was very very powerful, very well-connected. So after he died, they asked one of the non-Jewish politicians, "What did you think of Rabbi Sharer?" So he said, "Oh, he was a very nice man, much nicer than he had to be." That's a very telling idea because Rabbi Sharer helped people because he wanted to help people. The politician helps because if I help him that maybe that, you know, that'll make a connection or it'll help me to advance. Somebody who's a taker can't see where a giver is. You can't fathom where a giver is. Somebody who is, you know, that famous book, how to win friends and manipulate people. So the uh influence people and influence people. Sorry. The uh the uh the the the uh the book is an excellent book there. I recommend it for anybody who is socially challenged. It's a very good book. Don't raise your hand and say, "Oh, that's because that would just be evidence that you're socially challenged." But the the the uh the book is there's nothing non-toredic about the book. The book is an excellent book. It's a very enjoyable read. There's only one problem with the book. On the cover of the book of my volume at home, on the I was socially challenged till I read the book. On the cover of my book at home, it says how to win friends influence people. The subtitle is now you can get ahead. Now you can get that job you now you can now you by how by being in other words the whole thing is all about you by being be nice to other people because you could gain from it. So when it comes to this idea of holds him to a hair's breath to us it looks like a hair's breath because at our level can only speak for myself the the misstep of the tadic at my level the misstep of the tadic looked like that was not a big deal you know kinyki is upset and he's what did kineski said you know he clapped al just like we did on yum kipper what was kinyki's big aa if you ask kineski so instead of getting up at 1:00 in the morning and learning straight through after two hours sleep. He actually overslept by 10. He only got two hour he got two hours and 10 minutes sleep. And it's probably it's probably he cried copious tears on Yum Kipper for that. To me it doesn't look like a big deal to him. It looks like it is a big deal to him. It's not a hair's breath. So when the Torah says that Hashem is holds Sadikim to a very exacting standard a hair's breath that means to our from our perspective it looks like a hair's breath from perspective it looks like a major major flaw because he's at that level that to him it's a major flaw. So none of their level because of their proximity to God. That's why they're held to to them. It was a major misstep to us. Like listen, they didn't do something so terrible at our level the way we're looking at it. That's what the orim says. Okay. Number three. Um number three. You ever been you ever been at a beach that says no swimming? If there no no swimming or no swimming without lifeguards. Have you ever gone in? Of course. Yeah, there you go. It didn't take you long. Didn't take you long to answer that question. The Right. Why? It's a hot day. The water's blue. Not too many sharks visible at the surface. You know, let's go in, right? Why? Because it's tempting. It's tempting. The warning over here. Look at Pik. Look at Look what Look what Hashem says. Look at Rashi. Um it's the where where's Rashi here? [Music] Um here take a look right first Moshe says to after the two deaths of that he can't enter the next says that he can't enter the holy any anytime he wants soar second line he gives an analogy Somebody who is not well went to a doctor. The doctor said to him, "Don't eat cold foods. Don't don't lie down in a damp area." That's what the first doctor said to him. Don't eat cold food. Don't lie down in damp areas. So you don't die like so and so died who disregarded my orders. The second doctor is urging him strong more stronger than the first doctor. The the second doctor they gives him a aish over there. The you got you got over there. Okay. The the second one is urged him more strongly than the first one. Is there zerzo? He he put a a stronger warning him. Why does Aron need such a strong warning? That means that we're look read the next for a second. Read the next second line in the can't just enter the holy of holies anytime he wants behind the curtain. I will only I it's only when when there's the cloud from the uh uh the what they call the incense. Only then could Aon enter. Why did Moshe precede all of this with after the death of Aaron? Why did Hashem say after the death of the two sons of Aaron? He's like the doctor who says it's not enough to just say don't go in there. Don't go in there like they did so you don't die. That's a stronger warning. Somebody says if there would be a sign that says don't enter the water. Why do you need a sign to enter then not to enter the water? Because the water is very tempting. The water is very very tempting. The desire to get into the Holy of Holies was so tempting. To get to that kaduca was so tempting. Yeah. It needs a warning. Now, what if the sign by the water says, "Don't enter this water cuz three people drowned yesterday and six drowned the day before." Then what would be Aaron? Be a little more hesitant, right? That's a little better than a sign that says, "Don't enter the water." That's what a coach Ro saying. By the way, you know the story of the kid who goes, he dives into there's a hotel swimming pool. Kid dives in, he starts swimming around. So the guard comes over, says, "Hey kid, can't you read a sign?" It says, "No swimming allowed." Kid learned Gomorra. He says, "That's not what a sign says." Says, "No swimming allowed." And you're asking me what are the benefits of Gomorrah? Right. There you go. So that that that's the uh that's the uh that that we've created monsters. That's our goal. Okay. Listen listen. We got to listen. You gota you gota you gota you got to survive by your instincts. You know that's life. as I go, you know, your wife is cooking on Arab of Shabas and you'd like to get into that kitchen, right? It's tempting, right? Yeah. There are certain places that are off limits. You know, there's the best Why do I I wanted to say I'm just confessing now. True confessions. The best chicken I ever had in my life, best chicken by far, nothing my wife ever made, nothing my mother ever made. It was when I was 15 years old at camp and my friend Milty and I used to sneak into the kitchen on Air of Shabas where the counselor said, "We're not the cook said nobody's allowed to come in there and take Arab Shabas chicken." And me and my friend Milty would sneak in there, grab some chicken and eat behind the white van. That was the best chicken I ever had in my life because there's a PK that says Ginuim, the stolen waters are sweet, right? That's why I told you the two best things for a fju the two greatest delights. You ever had hot kougal on air shabas? Hot potato kougal on air of shabas. That's delicious. You know what's even better? That second piece that she doesn't want you to have. That piece is unbelievable. Right. The other is when you're diving on a Monday or Thursday in shul and right after there's a kop. No, there's a in schol right they don't there's no long right and everybody you ever been there's a cl there's always one guy says one second who's the that's like the kid who's saying what no homework today be quiet will you just give him a masle to g let's go let's goal and we're laughing tomorrow's bahab what's that bahab is where there's extraos Bahab stands for baze hay bay Monday Thursday Monday Thursday Thursday Monday and the month after pes and the Monday Thursday Thursday Monday starting the month after sukis those three days Monday but not only we have the long there's extra do extra this is where the get us they do 40 on they do 40 onl they have 40 days of this is where they laugh at us and and We have extraos because during the holy the holy celebrating during pes maybe we c went over the line a little bit you know maybe we drank too much or didn't drink enough or whatever the case may be so we say some extra extra sound on Monday Thursday Monday so tomorrow is going to be a little bit longer tomorrow ding is a little bit longer the don't by the way and don't do it I have in the past cheated and gone up to davin with the sardies on the on Not in recent years. I've been good. Okay. The uh uh take a look at and this is how Aaron should enter page 636. So three lines at the bottom. He brings a young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering. Then it says he wears his tur how that's the word I'm looking for. He wears four garments. He he he immerses in the mikvah and he wears these garments. Now we know that is the coin had eight garments all year long. Four of them were regular uh fabric and four of them had gold inlaid in them. The koshen and he had the the seats that went across his head and he had the mahil which had the golden bells at the bottom. And so the cohain gurum kipper when he entered the holy of holies he did not wear the gold. Where did he wear the gold? Up until the holy of holies in the azor in the main sanctuary. But he did not wear the gold when he wore he only wore four garments. That's why the Torah enumerates four garments that he went into the holy of holies with kipper. Why didn't he wear the gold? Because it's a reminder inor. Very good. It's a reminder of the gold. The prosecutor cannot become the defender. And if he's going into the holy of holies, so the prosecutor does not become the defender. Now the question becomes well if the prosecutor can't be the defender in the holy of holies so why is he wearing it in the sanctuary also and the sanctuary is also wearing gold and he did the service in the sanctuary too. What's the difference between the two locations? One place he doesn't wear the holy of holies and what he doesn't wear the gold and one place he does. The answer is anybody got an idea? Different spiritual worlds. Different spiritual worlds. That's always safe. Yeah. Yeah, there are different spiritual worlds. The answer is there are different roles in the sanctuary main sanctuary people could see them and there there's a difference between correcting people what we call giving people muser to rebuke and pleading on behalf of the Jewish people when they were in when he was in the azora people could see him he's wearing the gold so people should be reminded people should be reminded of the sin so that they could do chuva do you know that the garbara says any suffering uffering of the Jewish people individually or collectively up to this day has some payback some of the suffering is a retribution for the sin of the golden calf. If a person stubs his toe he deserved to stub his toe because yesterday he left daing too early but it's also because of the golden calf. But not every Jew sin with the golden calf that but every Jew is the rep. It's a good question. Not every Jew sin, but there's retribution for all of Kai Israel because of the golden calf. There's retribution for every all forms of suffering is still cleaning up the mess from the golden calf. You're right. That's that's what the Gomorrah says. So the coin guttle in the Azor where people see him, he serves as a reminder of the golden calf. So that people should do chuva. But what's he doing when he goes into the holy of holies? I'll get you one second. What's he doing when he goes into the holy there? He's pleading on behalf of the Jewish people. When you plead on the behalf of the Jewish people, you don't go to He's not talking to God about how bad the Jewish people are. He's talking to God about being good to the Jewish people. When you go in to plead to for good Jewish people, you don't bring in the gold. That that you don't do when you're pleading. You know, it's like a guy in court who's accused of counterfeiting. You don't plead. You don't go up to the judge to plead for mercy with a couple of hund counterfeit $100 bills hanging out of your hanging out of your pockets. Or if you're accused of stealing jewelry, you don't go plead the judge with a bunch of with a bunch of ice dingling around your neck. You you you plead you you you make sure that you look like you're you're you're you're poor and you're contrite and everything else. So the coin go that you you've heard of Rabbi Yo from Satmer who was a Satma rebi from Satmer and the Satmer if you know anything about the Satmer the Satmers have a very strong anti-ionistic stance and Raviol's from Satmer himself actually wrote a safer he wrote his a whole safer about against Zionism secular Zionism religious Zionism all Zionism because Zionism is essentially a new religion there's Judaism there's no Zionism Israel is is a mitzvah It's not an ends, it's a means like like like all other mitzvah. Living in Israel is not an ends in and of itself. Living in Israel is a means of serving at Serb from Sat was known as fiercely fiercely anti-ionistic. So uh somebody once said to him look at Arau and look at yourself. What did Arau do? Abrainu with the man of Abrainu was the was the paradigm of of kindness in the world. Yet when he found out that the people of stone were going to be destroyed what did he do? He went to bat for them. He kept pleading with remember he even bargained give me 50. What if they're 45, 40, 30? Do I hear 20, 10? Okay. And he went with he went with the that's maybe why Jews always have this habit of trying to get a bargain. You know avoid we do. So Aravino, Aravino is trying to trying to bargain it down. Say from Satmer, look at what Arau look at him and look at you. He went for the worst most despicable people in history and Ara went to bat for them and you all you do is criticize the Zionists. So from Satner said to the guy, you know, the Torah only reports what Arainu said to Hashem. The Torah doesn't tell us what Arau said to the people of Stom. I'm sure the people of me said, "Hey people, you got to get your act together. You can't have a situation where where you don't where where where you're mean to guests and you chop people's legs off and stretch them in a bed and and you're cruel and the people have stumbled the time said something to them." He had what to say. But when he spoke to God, he pleaded on behalf of them. Then Rab said, "You only know what I say to the Zionists. You don't know what I say to Hashem when I'm dabbing for them." That's what he said. So the coin guttle is on the one hand the people have to see the gold but when he goes into the holy of holies then the coin gole is pleading on behalf of the Jewish people number one. Number two um what did the coing goto plead for when he went into the holy of holies? What did he ding for? What's that? Forgiveness. Certainly forgiveness. What would you what would you what would you imagine the coal ding for the Jewish people on they should have what do you call it? They should have a lot of uh spiritual growth and they should learn Torah and they should daven. Right? That's what that's what you that's what you would imagine he he ded for. What did what did Gomorrah say he ded for? They should have rain and prosperity and parnosa and health. That's what he davened for. So the uh the briskerv you've heard of the briskerv. Okay. So briskarov one of his sons got married. So people sent him letters and telegrams. you should have lots of, you know, you should have lots of Yiddish and they should grow in Torah. They should have a to everything else. Finally, somebody sends him a letter and he says, you know, you should have health and parnas. And he says, now this is a guy who knows how to give a braha. We all think, oh, you should grow, you should learn a lot of Torah. Don't do do me a favor. Do me a favor. Give me a braha for money. Give me a braha for good children. Give me a braha for health. That's a braha. going to went into the holy of holies and he dav for the Jewish people. He ded for their material well-being. Why? Because we need material well-being and the if you have material well-being then you grow. It's very difficult to grow as a Jew when you don't have Parnosa. When people ask me should they move to Israel? The answer is you should move to Israel. Well, you have to take certain things into consideration. Will you have Parnosa? If you don't have parasa, you're going to be so so running around trying to find a parnosa that it's going to be difficult for you to concentrate on your learning, concentrate on your diving, be nice to your wife, be nice to your children because you just fall all that's part of having partnels. It doesn't mean you have to be rich, but to be comfortable to have the the the the mental equilibrium to be able to serve God that's part of number one. Number two, there's a famous line from Rabby Serel Santer. The other guy's physic material needs are your spiritual needs. That means if a guy needs a meal and you feed him, his material needs, that's my spiritual need. My spiritual needs to worry about the other guy's physical needs. My spiritual needs are to worry that you have a good mattress and that you have a comfortable bed, that you have a place to stay, that you have a meal. And sometimes people are people are always worried about straightening out other people's filling. I don't know if you've ever been accosted by the tillin patrol here. You know, they have the the tilan patrol who will race across the base medish to make sure that your tillin which are about one tenth of a millimeter off. You know, they'll they'll straighten it out. There's always somebody to help you out spiritually. Ruby Solant was once wiping a shul and some guy standing outside says at center we need a tenth man. 10th man for me ever hear that? Do you ever walk past the sh of center? We need a tenth man over here. Need a tenth man over here. Sir Salanter said, "How come you never pass by a wedding and there's a guy standing outside? We need a center at center. We need another guy to come in and eat." That's what you should be worried about. Worry about the other guy. Don't worry about his Don't worry about his amenia so much. Don't worry about his tits. Worry about his food. Worry about his comfort. Worry that's your my growth in is some worry about somebody else's physical comfort. Yeah. You don't know what we're going to ask. this whole like service and and the sacrifice does that just atone for unintentional sins or also good question he wants to know if it atones for intentional sins or unintentional sins and we're going to see a description of various forms of sacrifices that are brought some atone for one for the kohanim some for the entire Jewish people some for big ravas and then on an individual level depends what the sin is if a person did a neglected a positive command if a person transgressed a negative command if a person made a hashem So sometimes it could require all it requires is chuva. Sometimes it requires chuva and fasting on yum kipper. Sometimes it requires that a person goes chuva yum kipper and a little bit of personal suffering, a little bit of a little bit of in uh discomfort in life to be an atonement and sometimes there are certain aeras where the only atonement is death itself. So those should definitely be avoided for those who want to live longer. But the the uh the the at the end of the day there's a whole a whole service over here. We're going to see. Okay. Now the Torah gets into the main part that we want to talk about. Now in um uh in PK test sorry Zion the coin takes two goats and started pick it up five lines from the top. He takes the two goats. He takes these goats and he puts them by the entrance of the tent. iron alums. He draws lots. He takes these two goats and he's got some sort of bucket with two cubes in them. One of the cubes says on it laashem that this goat is for Hashem which means it's going to be brought into the into the bish and sacrificed the second one says on it and he's yet goat is going to go off the cliff. Auzazil Rashi says uh uh um in Aazil you've probably heard this at some point being used in an uh in in an unfavorable context. So the top line and the and the rashi on the left column aazel huhar a vosel kosh he says it's a it's a hard rough mountain suk goa a high cliff and they take this goat and the goat's going to get pushed off the cliff and then which is probably where the expression that this really gets my goat from uh and then the aron says Four lines from the bottom. The goat there. They drew lots and it's supposed to go. Now, what happens? I'm skipping. I'm not going to read inside because we're short on time. Aron takes the first goat. He's going to eventually he's going to she's going to put it in the Holy of Holies. He's going to bring it as a sacrifice. the goat to Zazil. Aaron puts his hands on it and he confesses the sins of the entire Jewish people. Then they take this goat, they give him to a certain man, which we'll see tomorrow. And they bring this guy out. They bring the goat out to a cliff. They push the goat off the cliff. The animals rights people would probably be up in arms about that. They probably stop doing abortions and go out to a uh a protest. And the uh uh uh because of the what do you call it? Because they probably put off the abortions for a day and go out to the protest. But the the the uh the the what do you call the uh you know they be they'd be up in arms over this goat. Okay. The first question is you know the Torah says you're not allowed to you're not allowed to to to cause needless pain to living creatures. You know I mean you're pushing a goat off a cliff. Now how do you reconcile that with the Torah saying that you're not allowed to cause pain to living creatures? Needless pain. It's needed. It's needed. Very meaning good. Aaron says it's needed pain. I mean the goat goat doesn't think what? It's for sure literally a goat's not like your brother-in-law or something. No, no, it's for sure it's for sure literally a goat. Yeah. It's it's like a for sure literally a goat. Yeah. And the goat goes off the cliff and the goat Yeah. And the answer the answer is the first answer and this has to be clear. It's almost like the question of you're not allowed to shave with a razor. Right. Yet the Torah says when the Levian were initiated into the service, their whole body was shaved with a razor. How could they do that? Torah says, "Don't shave with a razor." So, the answer is that who made the rule? You know, like I give you always the analogy in chess, you're not allowed to jump over other pieces, but your knight could jump over other pieces. Why? Because whoever played the game said that this is the exception to the rule. The same, why can't you shave with a razor? Why can't you cause pain to animals? The answer is you can't cause pain to animals. Not because we're compassionate animals. You can't cause pain to animals because the Torah says he can't cause pain to the animals. So the same God that said don't cause pain here he says push a goat off a cliff. Number one. Number two, what's going on here? Why are we pushing the goat off the cliff? Why are we pushing a goat off a cliff over here? Right? And normally you take animals, you sacrifice it, bring them into the base of meters and she them. So the first thing you have to understand is it's not a sacrifice. That's the first thing. That's why it's not it's not a sacrifice. You're taking it out to the wilderness and you're pushing it off of a cliff. It's not a sacrifice. sacrifices in the B mikdash by the mbath. So a it's not a sacrifice. What is happening here? So very very briefly then we'll have to we're going to go into this more a little more tomorrow. The coin when a person does an aa he creates a spiritual prosecutor. What are called mikatre? They're spiritual prosecutors. When a person does a mitzvah he creates spiritual and spiritual advocates. You have a good call it good angels and bad angels. Now let's say you do chuva. Say a person uh uh uh let's say a person ate non-cosher food and then the next day he did chuva. He gave some he said al he gave some sedaka. However he promises he's never going to do it again. At that moment the spiritual prosecutor has a piece of tape put over his mouth so to speak. He can't prosecute at that moment. Then a few weeks later the guy has a lapse and he what do you call it? He he succumbed again to his temptation. He creates another prosecutor plus the tape is pulled off the first one. Now he's got two spiritual pro. Then he does chuva. So they're all taped up again. Everybody, the two of them are taped up and so on and so forth. On yum kipper the coto loads by putting his hands on the goat. He loads the goat up with all of the sins of all these spiritual prosecutors are put onto that goat. And then the goat is taken out to the wilderness and he's pushed off the cliff and the spiritual prosecutors are destroyed. That means up until that point, you could do chuva, but they're pending. They're there. They're they're on the Andex circle. Just don't get them don't don't do anything to get that tape pulled off their mouth. On Yum Kipper, the slate is wiped clean. The goat goes off the cliff and the boat falls. He's wiping up the slate for the Jewish people is wip wiped clean. That's the ceremony over here with the goat. That's why the goat is pushed off a cliff. Okay, we have to stop. Rabbi Weiner is giving a uh a talk in the main base medish and we're going to continue with this tomorrow.
