Portion Tzav - Purim Passover and Plebeian-IST Priesthod
Questions - Is it STILL Purim? answer - yes - in Jerusalem! They celebrate the Second Day of Purim.
AND
Is it possible to write a short holy thought on a short-friday? Yes - connecting purim passover and the Portion of the week
At Rabbi Carlebach's Shul yesterday - the Rabbi (Reb Shlomo's nephew)
was teaching a bit about the PURPOSE OF READING THE MEGILLA.
The Talmud explains it is for - Pirsumei Nisa - to PUBLICIZE G-D's MIRACLE
(saving the Jewish people from wicked Haman).
WHAT? PEOPLE NEED TO BE REMINDED ABOUT G-D'S MIRACLES ?
YES
BUT AS RABBI Shlomo CARLEBACH OF BLESSED MEMORY USED TO ASK ME-
'SO WHAT?
What level of meaning is there for YOUR SOUL?
SO I SAY -REMINDED the WORLD ABOUT G-D'S MIRACLES-
FOR the purpose of
INSPIRATION!!!
Maybe for 30 DAYS now - as we PREPARE FOR PESACH - let's
help CLEAN OUT the CHOMETZ of RUSSIAN ABUSES in the world and
get ready for YETZIAT MITZRAYIM - getting OUT OF EGYPTian mentality
and get HOLY INSPIRATION!
Aish Hatorah had a thought this week -
about the WAY the Portion teaches that the Priests in the Temple had to do
EVEN THE SIMPLE DIRTY WORK OF CLEANING THE ALTAR EVERY MORNING!
SO:
"Not only do the masses need to understand the humanity of those with elevated status, but ... the need for the spiritual leaders themselves to appreciate their own normality ... in the material world.
(NOT TO ALLOW THOSE) ... with great fame or fortune to let their status and their material riches define who they are to the extent that they think themselves above basic responsibilities. "
Maybe we should send that thought to those waging war today????
Shabbat Shalom
