Shnayim Yomi - Tazria-Metzora - Rishon - #1 - R Yechiel Gabay - Progression from Shemini to Tazria

Welcome back to another week of paras. This para focuses on the toma caused by people such as childbirth and then focusing mainly on the toma of taras and how to be purified from that. The first rash in parasa explains the progression of parasa from parasmini. At the end of parishes we left off talking about the status of animals. Which ones are kosher? which ones can be eaten and which ones are tom and may not be eaten says Rashi quoting from just like the person came after the creation of all animals. So to the Torah of man is explained after. So since animals were created first followed by people. So we say the Torah of the animals followed by the Torah of people which begs the question why then is it the Torah of Torah specifically which follows the Torah of the animals. There are so many other parts of Torah relevant to mankind which could follow the Torah of the animals. If indeed man is so lous to come after the animals, explains that the word used by the mandish is yer as opposed to bria is a word referring to the physical creation of mankind. The physical creation of mankind is what came after the animals. the spiritual component of a human being that actually came before the animals says the it's specifically the tum of which comes from a person blindly following his instincts and his desires and acting purely physical way. That's the type of person and that's the Torah that needs to follow the animals. When a person acts like that, he's demoted to a position after that of the animals and that's the Torah that follows the animals. Whereas the Tyra of mankind, the ability, the Tory, the ability to be between good and bad, that's actually a before of where it says in that's the spiritual element of man, learning the Tyra, following the Tyra, that's the element of man that comes before the animals.
