welcome everyone hope everyone had a
wonderful wonderful yantiff
this week's parties parshas shmini and
the end of the parsha teaches us
all the dinim of the kosher species of
animals and the non-kosher species of
animals and when it comes to fish
the torah tells us that if a fish has
snappier because
if it has fins and scales then those are
the simon and those are the indicators
that is the kosher fish
the tour in swimming pay gimmel teaches
us it lets you have a fish that you
can't tell
if it has fins or scales you can't tell
so one of the other c mana that you can
point to a secondary symmet
is does it have a spine if the fish has
a spine
that is a presumptively you can assume
it's a kosher fish of a fish
does not have a spine like a starfish
and octopus
then you can assume it is not a kosher
fish the bali mustard point out
that the existence of a shidra a spine
is not just an indicator
assuming cautious of a fish it is also a
cement costus of a jew of a human being
and that what does a spine allow fish to
do a spine allows the fish to swim
upstream
when the tide is in one direction when
the river is flowing in one direction
the spine the shidra allows the fish to
swim against the tide and so too when it
comes to a human being
human being has to have a spine has to
have the ability
to swim upstream when the whole world is
going in one direction
this was the unique lesson of avraham
he stood on the other side the whole
world following nimrod wasn't going in
one direction
of zara avant was avraham
he had a spine he was able to recognize
ms from shekker
and go against the flow that is the
semen castrus
of a jew the ability to forge your own
path
forward your own direction sometimes yes

a shidra is not just
a synchronous fish is also
