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 megawatts welcome to this week's
Torah lesson this week's Torah portion
is Pontius key states a the question of
the week is why did our neshama our soul
come into the world so in this week's
torah portion praxis Keisei say we have
many mitzvot one the mitzvot are he
signifies how - when you build a new
house there's ISA mechanical you should
make a handrail around the roof and the
Turk is the reason below some W a
surface no one will get killed and it
says keep oil Hanoi FL me man because
the person falling obviously won't fall
so the questioner be asked a simple
question it says keep oil Hanoi fell it
was he falling or not falling here we're
saying keeper these falling huh no
you're the one that's falling why does
it use a double expression he's the
person falling is already falling and
there he explains cuz obviously there's
the simple shot the simple meaning of
the verse but more importantly it's
referring to the descent that the soul
descends down to this world and as the
neshamah comes down to this world the
soul comes down to this world
so the Roby says that this verse is an
is talking spiritually about the the
journey of the soul down to this world
so the Torah tells us keep oil Hondo you
feel that the this soul that comes down
to the world is already a it's already a
descent for him he's already falling
he's already not income income in a
comfort zone because the soul really
wants to be in heaven with God the mere
fact that he's down this world is
already a descent now he might even fall
even more and that's what you need a
guardrail so the big question is if
that's the case that he's already
falling and he might fall more why put
him into this world to begin with and
the answer the Torah gives us he's
sitting there by his colors because in
this world we have the power to build
new houses what does it mean new houses
you know I mean obviously simple shot is
to build real estate and develop and
build new with commercial retail space
but
spiritually houses referred to to build
Torah and mitzvot to study more Torah
and do mitts vote and every time you
study Torah every time you do Mitzvah
you're building a new house one that the
soul could have not have built in heaven
so the answer the question why is there
some soul come down to this world he
sitting there by his colours to build
new homes for God spiritual homes by
studying Torah and doing mitzvahs ones
that the soul could have not built had
it stayed in heaven this week's Torah
lesson is a memory of bora pandari lab

elevated for the Torah that we're
studying in their memory thanks so much
