Just as Offerings Atone so too Priestly Garments Atone with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] Shalom everybody Welcome Home to Torah welcome well it's not the mid we're still in making for our very courageous and um heroic soldiers who have believe it or not desire the great desire for them to want to do Mitzvah is uh is really I there's nothing more we can say how this is probably going to be towards our own salvation um we are in paros it's like a two we para right because we had shabas we're we're talking right after pesak so last chabas we had a special Torah reading uh regarding the forgiveness for the sin of the golden calf I spoke on chabas at one of the local synagogues and uh it's very interesting how Hashem had forgiven us and uh what I spoke about was on a certain level that he also forgave the a of RAV as well now obviously anyone who is Forgiven it's because they have done chuva they have repented okay so for those who are n not familiar unfamiliar with what we do here we use the clear as the basis for our discussion um we do encourage you to learn Hebrew obviously we're going to translate everything into English uh on our website which you can find the link below you can find the original Hebrew sheets which you you won't get a colorful example like this but pure black and white and I encourage you to follow in order to learn the Hebrew um but as we all know the only way to really understand the biblical text is through the grammar the Linguistics the dick duuk of the Hebrew itself and of course with the accompanying oral Torah so the clear was a master and uh we will get started we're in Paras Sak MOS chapter 16 verse 4 by the way if you would like the English assoc I I bring these uh uh Source sheets of English that are it's only the translation of the sources that are in the Hebrew which are quite helpful right you guys it's quite helpful um but you could send me an email if you'd like to be on that list and if you want to join us we have a group here live in in in the bait madash and we have a handful of people on Skype so if you want to join us you can also send me an email okay so Leviticus 164 VRA this is referring to by the way um the K even though it's only referring to the four garments because during y which AOS is mainly focused on the procedures the the details of of yum kipur what the k gutal has to do he's going to wear these four white garments but then when he goes out of the holy of holies he's going to put on an additional eight garments some of them are gold but when he goes into the holy of holies he's not going to wear gold he's only going to wear these four white garments and we're going to discuss how these garments actually create cause atonement so for those who are mistaken to think I mean it's a big mistake to think that the Jews only find their atonement Through Blood Sacrifice first of all anybody who knows anything already at this point about Torah knows that any um intentional Sins Not only do not require one should not bring a blood sacrifice all that God wants is their Tru many of the um of the blood sacrifices are for very specific sins most sins do not require any sacrifice at all um however these four white garments we are going to delve deeply into understanding how they atone not only for the kado for the Jewish people and we're going to De we always deal with fundamental issues okay so stay um stay ATT tuned here we go at the very bottom paragraph on page it's 513 it's t yimo it says kones right that's the only few words the clear brings down but the verse itself says he shall wear a holy linen shirt so that's the konet B and linen pants that's the M they shall be upon his flesh he shall gird himself with a linen sash that's the avate okay and then he has some type of it's a linen cap it could be almost like a turban it could look like a chef's hat but it's interesting if you want really want to know there are books that have descriptions um and also in the old city there is the um Temple Institute that has samples ready to go as soon as the temple is rebuilt soon in our days uh these right now they're just for educational purposes um but if you want to look they have things online and there are books anyway so there's this it's called a mitz it's it's kind of a hat and these are considered holy garments and each time he's going to go into the Mikvah every time he switches and it's five times there's going to be switching between the gold garments the eight eight garments and the four gar and the five and the four garments okay I just wanted to show you we are talking about the Coen gutle even though we're only talking about four garments look at Rashi by enumerating only the four garments of an ordinary Cohen scripture informs us that the Cen gutle does not perform the service inside meaning in the holy of holies wearing those eight garments which which he does perform outside of the holy of holies by the way if a cohain is not wearing the correct garments whether he has one less or one more um it will P it will make the aod not acceptable so these are holy garments and each garment is going to atone for a specific type of sin which we will talk about um just by the way why does he not wear gold when he goes into the holy of holies so we have this concept that the um the prosecutor cannot act as a Defender so by uh reminding God so to speak by wearing the gold into the holy of holies it's a reminder of the sin of the golden calf I'll just read what he says here since the co gutto enters the holy of holies on yam kipur to effect atonement for all Israel he may not enter wearing gold reminiscent of the golden calf instead he wears the four garments just like the ordinary Coen okay so the clear begins with this verse and he says at Quick Glance in other words just like a run through to go through it really quick aside from the atonement that is taking place on y itself sh there is additional or there is furthermore a second type of atonement when the enters when he the kodo enters to see to view to experience the face of God so to speak the um the divine presence once a year it happens once a year um there is something I did want to mention I think I mentioned it already but I'll just say it again in the links below you could find uh in the description box below links to previous classes and I do encourage you uh to hear the other classes I just want to mention in Leviticus 10:3 God specifically says it sounds like that's the reason but there's going to be a lot of reasons mentioned why n the two sons of Aon were snuffed out if I can use that word snuffed out uh when when did this happen because our par is as a result God is now dictating to Aon and the Kim what they can and cannot do seemingly allegedly because of the sin or whatever mistake n and who did so if you turn to number 16 on the sore sheet I want to go through real quick we're going to focus on some of these reasons that's why I want to go over it so in the medish there brings down four reasons but we're going to see a lot more than that why did n by the way we're talking about already you know it's AOS the title of the of the of the paragraph is after the death of the sons but they died on y has and that's when it all happened meaning on the first day of Nissan the eth day of the inauguration of the Tabernacle of the altar I should say of the Tabernacle um what exactly happened so and I mentioned in um in verse 10 ver chapter 10:3 God says I will be Sanctified through those near to me there besides listing sins that perhaps they did there's also an opinion that they were so holy forget any sin they were just so holy and fortunately unfortunately however you want to look at it those who are really close to Hashem are held to a higher level and because they were held on such a high level Hashem had to take them out almost also as an atonement for the rest of the Jewish people okay I just want to go through number 16 real fast there is an opinion they were drunk when they entered the holy of holies as we see in this week's paraa one should not drink when they go in perhaps they didn't wash their hands and feet before they entered of course that's an obligation um perhaps they didn't wear the Priestly garments all of them maybe they were lacking something another another one is you know they hadn't married and we're going to focus on this a little bit perhaps they were ignoring the Commandment to procreate another opinion maybe they didn't consult each other they didn't really have Unity as it says that each one brought their own sacrifice it could be that n they rendered a decision in in the presence of mosha we're going to see that also described that could be a big problem some suggest their death was actually belated punishment so what happened was on Shu itself which is the great and awesome day that hasem appeared the Revelation they were there were people eating and drinking which okay it's a celebratory day but while Hashem is making his presence known and they should have been killed on the spot but Hashem waited because it was such an unbelievably joyous day he waited until the first of Nissan um there's an opinion that uh they were anxiously awaiting the day of the demise of mosha and Aon we're going to see that also a little bit more in depth um so that whether they spoke about it or only thought about it we'll have to deal with but apparently they were looking forward to the day of Moses and Aaron's death so they could take over um finally there's another opinion by Raya that perhaps they thought that the fire coming down from Heaven Wasn't powerful enough and therefore they helped Hashem by burning incense for him and that could be another problem okay with that's called background information the clear is saying like this aside from the atonement there is also something additional that is um is going to take place that one day a year and that is it's going to strengthen Faith strengthen whose Faith just faith in general whether it's the Cohen's Faith whether it's amul's am Israel's Faith but there is this concept according to the clear it's going to enhance it's going to strengthen our faith where faith in just as Hashem appeared to all the Jewish people three million Jews at Hari what did he do when he did that he implanted it was an to implant well the word is to plant but to embed into their hearts into the Jewish people's hearts remember what was spoken it was the Ten Commandments but we heard the first two Lord your God as it says in Source three in chapter 20 of Exodus verse 2 and three right I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage and then the following verse you shall have no other gods in my presence now a little bit more background there were two tablets right not just two sets of tablets which happened on the 17th of T which unfortunately were broken because of our sin of the golden calf but also on yum itself following um you know that first year so but there were two tablets and each tablet had five Commandments on them guys look at me a second just look commandment one paralleled commandment six commandment two paralleled commandment 7 and so on and I can go through all of them how they all parallel with each other but maybe I'll just go through the first two cuz that's what we're going to deal with the first two and then the sixth and seventh so six is you shall not murder we are created every human being is created in the image of God an I am the Lord your God and you are created in my image therefore you shall not murder everyone you're God forbid everyone who is a murderer is basically in it's a front to the presence of God number two is you shall have no other gods we call that in English idolatry it's interesting because number seven is is adultery I mean when you say real quick a few times you kind of like uh Tongue Tied over there but basically when you commit idolatry with God against God it's like an adulterous relationship with another God okay so the're very parallel all of them I'm not going to go through them all because we're going to right now deal with the first two and then the sixth and seventh so he says um when the Coen is going into the holy of holies that one time a year here it's a it's a strengthening of auna a Muna in the Commandments in at least the first two and the sixth and seventh as we will see because he says like this this is the way it works every single year basically that Hashem wants to appear to the Coen to the to the high priest that they sent remember he's are representative in fact one of the guys I learned with his last name is Kasden cdin is an acronym for meaning it's the acronym Coen with shinidan that they are the representatives of God and that's true when they come and bless us however there's another opinion the there are representatives and that's true especially on yum kipur when they're coming into the holy of holies he's like a representing all of am Isel and therefore his experience is going to have hash it's going to have a flow of experience into the rest of us it's going to strengthen his amuna which will strengthen our amuna in faith and how does it work sounds like this he says it's all in order to revive to to I I think revive is a good translation um to renew the faith that we have in these first two Commandments sh that's the very fundamental uh building blocks of Faith now and he lists Mitzvah 6 and 7 if perhaps the Jewish people would transgress L that's you'll see that in number um number three it's Exodus 20:3 do not murder and do not commit adultery he clearly says that they are actually parallel means to be parallel they're actually parallel right one and six and 2 and seven um K now I actually copied over from a translation I'd like to just read it to you so you know I am not making this up you can't make this stuff up so based on that PK where it says in um in Exodus 32:6 actually end of 35 but or 37 I'm sorry of uh 32:6 I think it's partially in the clear on verse 5 but it says like this remember they sacrificed burnt offerings and they got up to Revel now if you look at the part look in uh number four it was on the next day they arose early this is talking about the sin of the golden camp they offered up burnt offerings and brought peace offerings and the people sat down to eat and drink and they got up to make Merry based on those words I mean it's also interesting just look at Rashi on that if you want to check it out I think it's on the following page top of the page Rashi says what does it mean to make Merry L this word there's a connotation of sexual immorality and he brings a few proof for that and also for murder so you have within this framework of L uh two sins one would be murder and one would be um well sexual immorality which would be adultery so it relates to those two Mitzvah six and seven so our sages explain I I'm reading from something you guys don't have in front of you um that this term L is an illusion to immorality and murder it seems to me the CLE that since it says L and you know what it should have said it should have said the they reveled it just said they got up to Revel we can infer that this was not literally the lenti justness of immorality and murder rather since they transgressed the first commandment you see that the first commandment he's referring to the idea that they actually transgressed I'm your God this is this the um by making the golden calf and of course the second commandment you shouldn't have any other gods before me by the way there is another clear card that does explain that they actually did uh sexual immorality and murder at the time of the golden calf but let's go with this so he's saying that it was as if they transgressed when you transgress one and two it's as if you're transgressing six and seven um and this and why is that this is because the Commandments were written five opposite five the six commandment corresponding to the first I am the Lord your God and number two do not commit adultery corresponding to you shall have no other gods this is why it says indicating that they transgressed the first two which leads to Lous and immorality basically this is the quote he who commit one falls into the other right we know this famous expression that Mitzvah Mitzvah if you do a Mitzvah there's an inertia created and you will have at your hands at your opportunity more Mitzvah to do well guess what it works the other way around too right you mitzvas or you do sins it creates a certain inertia where other sins will come to your hands so this is a very interesting piece that we're about to enter and the clear continues he says Al therefore NES and this is the very reason why the G is commanded to wear we're going to start with one but let's just say these four particular garments so let's start with the Kon Bon this um this shirt this over garment it says in gor ER if I'm not mistaken it's 16a so that's number five on the sore sheet it's it actually um atones for murder now how is that let's look in number five why was the passage in the Torah discuss that discusses the Priestly garments Ju posed with that chapter that discusses offerings in other words we're dealing in chapter 8 is dealing with the Priestly garments but chapters 1 through 7 are dealing with the offerings and the tud tells us this is in order to teach you that just as offerings atone guess what so to the Priestly vestments also atone now which which garments atone for what the tunic the konit if you remember the Bloodshed well we didn't really kill we you know the the 10 tribes the uh the brothers did not actually kill ysep but they made it look like he was dead they killed a goat and dipped his Katon into the blood so you can understand how the Katon of the kado is going to atone for the sin of murder and what about the trousers we're going to call them the it's I think this is a little bit more easy to understand you know from a just logical point of view without using a text but um it is clear also in Exodus 2842 that it says regarding the Priestly garments you shall make them linen treasure trousers trousers how do you pronounce that word trousers to cover the Flesh of their nakedness so the word AA appears so there is a relationship to sexual immorality and the clear continues and this is all in order that one would not transgress or would not go over uh uh be opposed to those first two Commandments and therefore in order to oh I love those words sh in order to forge or to um uh execute a New Covenant now what does that mean a stronger commitment there's no such thing even though we use the word the Covenant that we have is Everlasting as God already said so what does it mean it's a Rejuvenation it's a Reclamation it's a a stronger commitment and that's what's happening each in every year so thisit is being forged sh sh which means it's a strengthening of our relationship with God now when it comes to idol worship you don't have to have always an action most sins require actions but when it comes to aara Idol worshiping God will already punish just through thought alone now we're talking about the aate the aate is the belt that's why it says regarding the belt theate Yak that you have to tighten your belt he puts the sash around his waist so it's referring to um uh the atonement for the mistaken thoughts within the heart okay so it's almost like UT Worship in a sense when happened was when the children of Aon entered into the place they shouldn't have gone right that's why they were punished seemingly allegedly because they looked at the god divine presence with a a um how do I translate this with an arrogant Spirit a coarse Spirit but it's really relating to arrogance and therefore by the way what is a Zara a zar we just call idol worship but really what it means is strange worship so there are ways we serve Hashem and those ways we don't serve other deities and the way you serve other deities we don't serve so we don't serve Hashem with a la goas with a Hoy Spirit therefore what did Iron have to wear he had to wear this cap this hat of some sort this um this cap actually atoned for this arrogance now if we go down two number seven it's Erin 16b and it describes these other two garments we'll just read it from the gamarra the Mitra which is the hat or the cap or the turban that atones for the Arrogant in accordance with the opinion Rina and what did said he said it's logical that an item that's placed at an elevation meaning the highest point of your body which is on the head of the priest shall come in atone for the matter of an elev ated heart okay and what about the belt the belt atones for thought of the heart gor elaborates that the belt atones for sins occurring where it is situated where is the belt it's not just above the hip it's actually higher up it's holding the UR vum the breastplate and the Orum its place so it's kind of higher up and even if it's not on your heart itself it's there to hold that which is on the heart and the verse in Exodus 28:30 and you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the or V and it shall be upon ain's heart when he goes before in before the Lord and Aaron shall bear the Judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually and that is the purpose of the Bell to hold it in place now the clear says the usually just means an alternative understanding he's not getting rid of he's not puzzling he's not negating anything he said but it's another level of understanding and he says there's a reason why these four garments are specified they are parallel to the four stumbling blocks or mistakes that the children of AR meaning fell we said it's the shirt and the belt that I'm going to read for you in the Hebrew I think it's number eight regarding we learn that when they would walk so at first motion arm would walk and who would follow them they would say when are these old men going to die we will be the leaders in their place over the congregation then we have a list of different rabbis names but Rabbi Abu he says they actually spoke to each other in the presence of Mo can you imagine speaking about the death of these old men in front of them whereas Rabbi pin says bam huru they were only thinking that in their presence okay so the clear has some good questions based he's trying to dissect this medish so we can understand it better but he starts out by saying right we already read this the children of Aon they were walking after MOS and Aon and they were saying when are these old men going to die and we'll take over the leadership position in their place here's rabo he says be meaning he held that in front of them that between n and a they weren't keeping it a secret they were speaking loud enough for hour to he whereas says that it was only not telepathic but basically they were just thinking this and here's the Kasha here is the question the clear is going to ask but my what are they actually arguing about huru who related to either Rabbi or Rabbi pinus what happened thous of years prior V so the clear card begins to answer that the opinion of rebi leans to say midar from the very fact that the verse says Kon KES Yash that there's to wear the K must wear this shirt it's a holy it's part of his holy uniform and the the and we know that the shirt is atoning for murder where do we ever find that committed murder where do we ever see they're even blamed or fell to this sin El so according to that logic it must be that in front of mosha Aon they said these words why because that would be an embarrassment and what do we learn about L horror all kinds of RA and all kinds of words we have to watch our words guard your tongue saying things that will embarrass somebody in public right to embarrass somebody in public watch the redness of their face drain the blood drains and they there's a whiteness there's a like a a dull color uh some say it's gray but basically it's whitish right you ever you know the expression they turn gray right basically turn white so that would be an embarrassment in front of M that's if they said it out loud and that's the opinion it would be consistent but they're basically saying that these men are not fit to even lead the Jewish people the only reason they're fit at all or the only reason they have the position is because because they have gray hair and and we know this fact anybody that causes his friend to be flush right to be embarrassed to cause the the redness to come away from their face in 58b it mentions that someone who embarrasses somebody in public it's as if he committed murder and I'll just read number nine theor relates that the T who recited mishna and bright in the study hall taught a bright before of anyone who humiliates another in public it's as though he was spilling blood just read on RIT said to him you've spoken well as we see that after the humiliated person blushes the red leaves his face and a p a l l o r a p comes in its place which is T tantal to spilling his blood I don't know what power but I think it's less than red it's the opposite it's more like a grayish white right a a okay to reiterate this is why the uh the shirt the Kon B is coming to atone for murderes that in order that iron should not come into the holy of holies meaning he should already be atoned from this sin or and he also atones for the the Amish for the sin by wearing the koned B that the children they were already dirty dirty they were not clean from this sin and they were and they they glanced they they stared at the divine presence Theon and why listen to this in job job 133: 16 it's number 10 in the swore sheet is a flatterer but it's a hypocrite right um that a hypocrite a flatter should not come before Hashem he [Music] right you're not going to enter into God's residence any type of evil so this has to be rectified beforehand Al here who his here sorry his here Aton therefore Aon is being warned regarding this atonement KES when he's going to enter into the holy of holies should not come in with this um you know Theif or any kind of raw he should be clean from all sin especially the the sin that not just relates to not just murder itself which we saw earlier but lenara or uh um to embarrass anybody in public okay Vash rebbi Pinas let's go back to what rebbi Pinas he said they actually what that it was only heror it was only thought so going back to the aate the the the sash the belt we said that's Al that's going to atone for thoughts that certainly according to anyway this thought of let's get rid of or can't wait till they die was just in the thought Shu similar to The Way We described by RAB Abu and what RAB that really the was the belt is coming to atone for illicit sexual relations because the the children right n were never married so me someone who does not have a wife is Mal right a partner they're going to have um these thoughts all the time so there's a statement in kazal it says one who's married it's as if he has his bread in the basket right now that could mean a lot of different things it could have sexual connotations could have like people worry about food so if you have bread in the basket you don't worry same too with some uh natural um uh tendencies that you have your bread in your basket you know where your next meal is coming from and on and on like that but it it does create here wh so if someone is not married they don't have a partner they're going to be Mal Vera they're going to be constantly thinking about uh how sweet stolen Waters areas holds going back to this idea that the Kon the shirt actually atones for murder this is like for all my single friends we're working on it man we're going to find you wise that if you don't get involved in procreation or attempting to right you just try obviously it's up to hem it said as if you committed murder it's as if I'm looking Yo 63b which is here and number 11 so I I brought the first the first few lines I thought it was very interesting I don't know if you guys are aware of this that the um Ben David will only come when it says Ben David it means the Messiah the Messiah is only going to come once all the souls that are meant to be will come into the world if we as a Jewish people don't have lots of kids we're holding off the coming of Messiah okay so have lots of kids so here it says that the son of D the Messiah will not come until all the souls of the body have been finished meaning until all the souls that are destined to inhabit physical bodies will do so by the way there is an opinion that's why there's so many gim since many Jews are not having children that Hashem is bringing them into the world nevertheless many volunteers such as the uh the the non-jewish families that want to have children it's kind of like um what's the word not like a Klingon the soul comes in into the non-jewish body and eventually will meet up with fine folks like you and then decide to convert and that's another way of bringing in uh these Souls but but anyway we have to do our job we can't rely as we know we can't rely on the Gentiles to do our job okay so there's a verse in Isaiah chapter 57:16 which the uh the gamorra brings down as a proof for that for the spirit that enwraps itself is from me and the souls that I have made but this is the important part it is taught in a Bryce said that RAB elazar says anyone who does not engage in the Mitzvah to be fruitful multiply is considered as that as if he sheds blood now keep in mind we're going to take two verses one next to another it's called a SM Genesis chapter 9 verse 6 and then verse 7 in six it's talking about murder whoever sheds the blood of Man by man shall his blood be shed and immediately the following verse is and you shall be fruitful and multiply that's how they learn out and now the CLE cart Ends by saying V the reason for the matter is that the blood of his future progeny they are seeking out from his hand so whatever that means a little spooky but that's how the relationship between someone who is not involved in in being fruitful multiply could be considered like a murderer now what about the M these are the pants we said that's a little bit easier to understand this would be illicit sexual relations one of the opinions was they drank wine remember in the very beginning I gave you the whole list went through it because they drank wine one who drinks wine habitually um is likely hamaro means becomes a custom to illicit sexual relations it says in Yuma a it says like this Rami and rasi disagreed one said whoever cast his eye on his cup now what does that mean it means they are habitually drunk all the prohibitions of those with whom relations are forbidden seem to him like level ground meaning easy peasy there's no difficulty right you get drunk you your inhibitions are gone right he is unaware of the pitfalls of sin and continues walking along a twisted and dangerous path the other one said whoever cast his eye on his cup meaning he drinks too much the whole world seems to him like level ground so not only is such a person unconcerned by forbidden sexual relations but all other prohibitions as well monetary issues and so on thinks everything is permitted okay so the CLE C brings down anyone who places his eye in his cup which means he's habitually drinking every all the Forbidden relations appear to him like a straight path no difficulties and he brings down in Proverbs 23:31 it says do not look at wine it's number 13 on the sori do not look at wine when it is red when he puts his eye on his cup it goes smoothly so one sounds like it's more like don't do it don't become a drunker and you everything goes smoothly the Hebrew is meaning everything goes smoothly and that would make sense like everything we just said what about the uh the cap we said that's going to tone for AR this would include several different types of sins that relate relate to the idea of arrogance as we already said perhaps they were eating this meal or when they were looking at AEM we're just looking at AEM with you know he he he can't bring the fire enough we have to help right some type of arrogance remember we said that there was an opinion that they pasin they determin law in front of their own rebi there has to be some level of humility but no it's arrogance to in front of your re the common AR and there's a whole list of other here's the finished line here remember the according accordingly it could be that the death of Aon Sons were because that they went and they sought out to view God while they were still in dirty with sin therefore there's this command to specifically when you're coming in to see the glory of God you have to be clean that that he should be clean he should be atoned for from all these types of sins and he should wear these four white garments because they cleanse they like whiten his sin and we're going to finish with Isa well there's two verses Isaiah 1 verse 18 number 14 on the sore sheet come now let us debate right there's nothing wrong with having a conversation right is there anything wrong with having conversation debates are good if there's respect says the Lord if your sins prove to be like crimson meaning if you really truly are guilty and you come and do chuva they will become white as snow if they prove to be as red as Crimson dye they shall become as wool so you see this idea that when you yourself cleanse yourself and you are now whitened that's one idea and that's why there's four garments that are white so just as the co comes to see the face of God the divine presence guess what Hashem also will appear white and we see this in uh Daniel 79 I do want to go back and read the Rashi on Isaiah in a second it says in number 15 right 79 Daniel I was looking until Thrones were set up and the ancient of day sat referring to Hashem his rment was as white as snow and the hair of his head was like clean wo I do want to read the Rashi basically this concept was if you cleanse yourself you become white you will see you will Z you'll be Z you'll Merit to see Hashem for who he really is which is what we want Rashi look at number at the bottom of page three on Isaiah 1118 what does it mean come now let us debate together I and you and we will know whom offended whom and if you offended me I still give you hope to repent isn't that beautiful Hashem is that's why a dialogue have the dialogue find out if you're right or wrong and God will extend his hand so to speak to give you repentance to give you atonement if your sins to prove to be like crimson meaning stain before me Hashem like Crimson readed I will make them as white as snow and we all know about the the Red Thread that is tied to the to the uh to the to the to to calfs and when they throw one calf over the the um the cliff the other calf the Crimson wool turns to White if we are forgiven another explanation Rashi says come now let us debate what does that mean what's written Above This cease to do evil are you hearing me people out there I hear he all this Ruckus going on in the campuses it's not just the campuses you know what I mean it's all over the place cease to do evil learn to do good and after you return to me come now and let us debate together enough of the throwing the Snowballs and the spitballs and the garbage cans and the molotov cocktails everybody just stop right even the so-called Palestinians whoever whoever they are enough bom let's sit down and talk if we can let us debate together to notify me fine uh the Rashi on Daniel is also very interesting until Thrones were set up Thrones were set up to establish to sit in judgment one for judgment for the nations of the world and one for charity for Israel listen listen we we are the suffering servant of Isaiah chapter right um 53 you can see it anybody with eyes and a heart knows it we are the Messianic people the judge the Nations will be judged listen this is an opportunity to read it okay and the one for charity for Israel Israel will be uh looked on with Mercy what does it mean the agent of days sad that's the Holy One Blessed Be he was sitting in judgment on this Kingdom and on those before it to provoke Ed him and oppressed his children we're talking about the non-jews that oppress the Jewish people stop it don't don't I don't mean don't like Biden I mean don't like Hashem and it says as white as snow as we discussed to whiten the iniquities of his people we will be forgiven of course we have to suffer we'll guess what we have as Rabbi Ken explains Mitzvah that's plan a plan be is chuva if we don't do all the mitzah properly well at least there's chuva and if we don't do chuva properly well then there's suffering so let's hope we can all Merit Z to plan a and for the few of us that can't fully get plan there's trva and we can help each other right we're friends we can debate we can help each other do trva and if that fails well hopefully we've suffered enough and we don't have to suffer anymore but he says the the hair of his head was like clean wool this is Rashi on Daniel 79 he cleanses himself this God when it says cleanses himself it means he wipes away the merits that the Nations have before him and he pays them all the reward in this world meaning snuffs out any kind of reward for those bad non-jews in the world to come so there's still hope we can come in debate but no more violence enough okay enough hate and batem will see The Return of the Jewish people to their Jewish homeland to their ancestral Homeland and the return of the building of the B mikdash miao and mamish Brotherhood not just amongst the Jews but amongst all mankind whoever's left at the end of the days we hope to see you there shabbat shalom [Music] it [Music]
