Portion Mishpatim "tell it on the mountain" - And the souls of Nadav Avihu Pinhas and Elijah
 
  
At a Bris ceremony we say "Ana has hem hoshiya NA"
 
And also on Rosh Chodesh .. like Next Week when I fly to N Y-
 
We say "Ana Hashem Hatzlicha NA" -
 
NA stands for Nadav Avihu (2 of 4 sons of Aron) 
(a friend pointed out yesterday that it says so in the Zohar).
 
 
Near the end of this week's portion
 
The Almighty tells Moshe to take Aron and his
two older sons (Nadav and Avihu) with the 70 elders 
 
Up on the mountain in Sinai 
 
(It doesn't say Joshua here - but 
we know he was always around from a later portion)
 
The Zohar ... according to my friend
David Chaim ... says that Nadav and Avihu had very great souls -
 
That they were sort of in training to take over later from Moses and Aron
 
BUT THE NEXT  YEAR THEY LEFT THE world in a fiery and sad situation
 
So why were they there now?
 
And what's that got to do with
 
Haman and his 50-amot-high gallows
that he tried to hang Mordechai on?
 
See me for the full explanation on Purim? But in general ...
 
What Haman tried was to delete Mordechai - who may have had a bit of
those High Souls -
 
from every (and the 50th) level of wisdom and holiness

BUT HE FAILED (on Purim we can discuss Parshat Shekalim donations ...)

So Nadav and Avihu left this world HAVING REACHED THE 50 LEVELS
 
(of holiness and wisdom and understanding)
 
and going up to Mount Sinai was a prelude to their going to heaven

and ALL OUR SOULS ARE CONNECTED WITH THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE
 
So Happy Parshat Shekalim (we read that in the Torah this Shabbat)
 
Shabbat Shalom
 
and Get Ready For Purim and "a little bit of SOUL"
