it's time for Rabbi Minka wits weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight
rabbi Mingo 'its welcome to this week's
Torah lesson this week's Torah portion
is pontius hi sorrow the question of the
week is how do you know when something
is holy so in this week's torah portion
partials how you seller we learn about
after sura passes away Abram wants to
marry his wife so he goes to a face who
were the people of the town and he tells
them he wants to buy a burial plot for
his wife and he says he insists I want
to pay and he used a turret to turn the
turret we use is very distinct because
says moly
with full money so what does kesef moly
mean so simple meaning is cacif moly I'm
not whatever the amount is and we know
that money then was silver gold and they
was gonna be complete weight you know
these cheek that on the weights the
weight was gonna be a hunch and complete
rock she comes along in Rashi says a
different interpretation what does
casteth moly mean cacif moly mean
doesn't refer to the money was complete
but casteth moly means I want to pay
full price
whatever the price for that grave is I
want to pay full price I don't want to
discount and Rashi says I want to prove
to you that that was the intent here
that Avram was saying I want to pay full
price I want to pay full retail and he
bring us an example another example from
the profits in the debris on that tell
us that when King David went to buy the
place for the temple so he went to rona
you see and he sat down I want to pay
for the place where temple is and he
actually gave him six hundred coins to
pay for it no and over there Rashi says
he paid full price so Rashi brings out
both from this case or aroma vino and
from the case would of it when he bought
the temple then they wanted to pay full
place they want to pay retail sinner be
asked why why it's so important to pay
retail and their me says because Abraham
aroma vino and mm Ella King David wanted
to teach us an important lesson when it
comes to holiness in other words burying
his wife which is a holy endeavor when
it comes to building a temple you have
to be willing to pay full price in other
words you have to be willing to do
whatever it takes and make the effort
because
Shourd they would have given our own for
free or they were given a King David for
free the place of the temple but he
wanted to teach each number one of us
lesson then when it comes to holiness
you got to pay for it you got to put the
effort into it so the answer the
question how do you know something is
holy if it requires effort then you know
it's holy
