Parshas Acharei-Kedoshim (5772)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

(17:11) The pasuk explains that the Torah forbids us to indulge in drinking blood — ki nefesh habosor b’dam. The essence of the life of the animal is in the blood; life, so awesome. How can we relate to this as a beverage? And the pasuk concludes that you can use it only as a sacrifice of life itself.

We should all be zocheh to make use of our lives for the ultimate purpose for which we were put in this world. Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Parshas Shmini,Tazria – Metzora (5772)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Metzora (14:34) Rashi explains that the real function of the negas habayis was to reveal treasures that the Canaanim hid in the walls. Amazing, that davka during the 40 years of wandering in the desert this phenomenon of the hiding of the gold took place.

The avoda and the mesiras nefesh of Klal Yisroel was actually creating and causing what was necessary for the consequence of the Emorim placing the gold. We are always creating wonderful consequences with our avoda which we should be zocheh to see.

PARSHAS SHMINI

(11:2) The lesson that Chazal that Rashi quotes of the physical damage that maacholos asuros cause is a very real secret that our Chazal have. The manifestation of this is the effect that it has on our mental capacities and attitudes. This should be for us a soruce of tremendous inspiration to be wary and careful to refrain from any type of maacholos asuros.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Shvii Shel Pesach (5772)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

We are about to usher in Shvii Shel Pesach. The whole year we draw from our reservoir of Emunah to inspire ourselves to be committed for the fulfillment of the ratzon HaShem. On Pesach, we receive min HaShomayim the hashpaos of this emuna, which we receive through our connecting to yetzias mitzrayim. The greatest gilui of the malchus Hashem was at Krias yam Suf, the shvii of Pesach. Le’ts make ourselves recipients of this emuna by connecting to the many miracles and lessons of Krias Yam Suf.

Have a meaningful and inspiring Yom Tov and gut Shabbos.
