this aliyah also packed full of drama
the aliyah begins with the slav which
are these birds the meat that
was providing for many israel and hashem
allows them to be blown into the camp to
be blown into the camp by the winds
and the torah tells us about the
multitude
of birds
the tremendous amount of meat that was
provided and blown into the camp
hashem punished these people for
complaining even after they got the meat
and they ate the meat hashem punished
these people and he killed many of them
and the place was named kivros
because people were were buried there
because of their desires because of
their desire for me
then the torah goes to the famous
well-known story of miriam and arun
speaking badly about moshe rabbenu we
know that moshe rabino had separated
from his wife because he was a navi and
he always had to be on call because
warhol could appear to him at any time
miriam inaro
miriam said to aaron hey we're also
naveen hashem also comes to us and
speaks to us
we don't do that haka moshe did it and
they speak badly about moshe hashem
suddenly out of the blue appears to
miriam and aaron says come here
and then he explains to them
that moshe is a different level navi
than everyone else
all the other naviam they see visions
moshe per el perdaberbo i speak with
moshe directly mosh has to be on call at
any moment it's not like all the other
naveen where they can go to sleep see a
vision prepare themselves moshe has no
time to prepare
and therefore
it was inappropriate for you to speak
badly about moshe robeno we know
well-known fact that miriam was punished
with saras
because she's the one that instigated
although arnold also spoke
but she's the one that really started
this aaron comes and pleads with moshe
on miriam's behalf moshe david's for
miriam the famous words he utters
who please heal her that was the extent
of his tefila it didn't need to be
elaborate it didn't need to be long
kel
says that miriam has to quarantine for
seven days outside of the camp when she
has tsaras that's what has to be
beneficial waited for her they didn't
travel without her but they waited until
she was able to purify herself
herself
one thought from this aliyah we see how
careful we have to be
about lush and hara and about our speech
this is according to many this is the
source that we have to be careful not to
speak lost
always remember what
did to miriam why because she spoke
about her brother moshe and the rambam
says that even though what miriam said
wasn't so terrible it was true and
miriam was older than moshe and miriam
had raised moshe and moshe as the torah
says here was unof me colada moshe was
exceedingly humble and these things just
rolled off his back you know he didn't
even mind the fact that they were
talking about him
nevertheless we see that miriam was
punished
homer all the more so how careful we
have to be about when we speak about
other people never to speak anything
derogatory never to say anything
negative only to speak positive words
words of encouragement
never cast for shalom any lotion hara or
any negative speech about other members
of the jewish people that's the lesson
that we learned from miriam from aaron
and from osha
