it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly Torah lesson a place where life's most difficult questions are answered here with his spiritual perspective and insight rabbi Mingo it welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is processed Emmer the question of the week is can everyone be helped so in this week's Torah portion Pontius Emer the tutorial begins God speaks to motion brainable yo Michele motion he says him Emeril Cohanim to speak to the priest who the sons of Aaron the Martell am you should say to them about the laws of purity and impurity and obviously to remain pure not to become impure Rashi lighter we asked the question why does it say twice M or M or the America so Rashi says the reason why start white to instruct them is the Torah is trying to tell us Mojave er billion of electron him to inspire instruct the older the wiser one to instruct the younger one now in the Talmud actually says that this idea that the Torah commands us by telling us twice M of our Martha that the young older ones someone XYZ educate the younger one it's mentioned three times in the Torah one by the laws of blood so the Torah tells us the older the wise should instruct the younger ones about the laws of not eating blood the second is about Scots and things which are an abomination so we're instructed the adults the adults in age or wisdom to instruct the younger ones about staying away from things returned abomination and the third is in our case about the laws of purity and impurity and actually from open these three-wheeler now to the whole Torah that a older wiser person should educate a younger one so the Rebbe asked why specifically these three and there he explains beautifully neat stuff like this because the toe is teaching us in all these three cases are unique and each one doesn't have what the other one the or what the other one does have and each one is telling us how a person has to an adult and a wiser person has to educate the younger one in other words take the case of blood what is blood name you know blood is passion so when someone is so passionately involved in passion of life and negativity of life so Tori tells you even though he's passionately involved in what he's doing and something not right nevertheless we are commanded by Torah to educate the younger the one that's not as wise that to to inspire in to do the right thing same thing also so money sunk so low that he's dealing with Scots and things return abomination things which are disgusting but nevertheless eternal commands us to reach out to that individual and help them as well and even God forbid someone reaches to the level he's dealing with things that are impure and we know impure has a certain sense of death to it spiritual death but even there the Torah instructs us to reach out to the answer the question can we help other one absolutely the Torah commands us and instructs us to help everybody be well then what level you fell we are commanded to help out the reach everyone because ultimately everyone could be helped and there he points out a beautiful thing and he says that's ironic as well has the organismal economy using words louder why is it use the word lajas there because what has that comes in the word of Zola which means makes bright that when an adult both biologically or intellectually or scholarly helps out so and it's not as wise or younger you actually become more so are you become more brighter and more lightened up in your life for helping out other people this week's Torah lesson is a memory of Baraka and Ari leave and Ben Yosef may their souls the elevator to the Torah that we're studying in their memory thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson for more information on Habad please see our website [Music] Oh
