Parsha Emor
The last two Parshiyos had the holiness of the average Ben Yisrael
in mind. Since the Cohain is the cream of the cream, we start off with the
family holiness of the Cohain and as in Acherei Mos continue with the Yom
Kippur Service. We learn of the Mitzvah of Sefiros HaOmer and the Atzeres at
the end of the Omer. More will be forth coming on Shavuos with Bikurim in the
following portions.
21:1 And the LORD said unto Moses: Speak unto the priests the sons
of Aaron, and say unto them: There shall none defile himself for the dead among
his people;
This is the general rule. We say every day in the preliminary
morning service the portion of Rabbi Yishmael after the Korbanos. Here we learn
that if there is a Klal or general rule where a specific exception is made
Prat. This called a Klal U’ Prat and the Prat affects the whole Klal. The
second and third Pasukim are the Prat.
2 except for his kin, that is near unto him, for his mother, and
for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother; 3
and for his sister a virgin, that is near unto him, that hath had no husband,
for her may he defile himself.
The Rabbis also made an exception for an unattended dead person.
This of course was back then before refrigerators and police and cellphones. We
did not want the corpse to rot. Nowadays we also carry in most events and
identification unless it is a robbery-murder. In the case of an unattended
body, the Mitzvah is upon the Cohain to bury it. (Not recommended now a days
with police and certain laws).
4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people,
to profane himself.
We return to the general rule and the Cohain is better than his
brothers. He literally is the leader of others.
5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they
shave off the corners of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
These are Minchagim of the Shiites in Lebanon and most likely of
other Goyim in the Middle-East.
6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of
their God; for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God,
they do offer; therefore they shall be holy.
They are in the forefront of holiness both in service and eating
of the Teruma or parts of the Korbanos. They also have weekly the Lechem
HaPanim at the end of the week of service.
7 They shall not take a woman that is a harlot, or profaned;
neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto
his God.
Siman Vav of Shulchan Aruch Eben HaEzer deals with this. Rabbis
today tend to be more liberal with non-religious soldiers marrying non-virgins
but it does diminish from the holiness. Our Society is at fault. We send the
girls into the army or non-religious College Dormitories how does one expect in
the age of temptation propaganda and internet a young maiden to stay a virgin?
I don’t even want to discuss families who send off their daughters to be models
or sports stars. Among Chassidim in Israel young maidens usually marry between
the age of 17 to 19 and among the Yeshiva World 18 to 22. This usually keeps
the girls moral. It is customary among the Yeshiva World that the woman support
the Talmud Chacham so that the girl is in the second half or after Seminary
when she marries. It is also good before the girl gets too fussy and meticulous
in their choice and the same with the young fellow.
8 Thou shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of
thy God; he shall be holy unto thee; for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.
Bread of G-D – of course the CRATOR of something from nothing does
not need our offering of some flour. Rather it is our meticulous cleanliness
and refining of the flour and the intent of the heart that gives HIM the
pleasure of being a father.
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing
the harlot, she profanes her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
Only the married adulterous daughter of a Cohain who is caught in
her harlotry. This punishment of Serafah is considered worse than stoning – Skillah
which the average adulteress receives.
10 And the priest that is highest among his brethren, upon whose
head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the
garments, shall not let the hair of his head go loose, nor rend his clothes;
Tractate Shabbos tells on how the haircut was of the Cohain Gadol
that one hair touches the root of the other. Hand haircuts were almost daily.
It was a just about a little longer than a crew cut according to the picture in
“Ha Chaim” that one can find in the Steinsaltz Gemara.
11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for
his father, or for his mother;
While the ordinary Cohain can defile himself for his father or
mother, the Cohain Gadol cannot. He must be in the Mikdash ready to serve
HASHEM or pray 24/7.
12 neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the
sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is
upon him: I am the LORD. 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
While the ordinary Cohain could take a wife who was a widow, he
could not. He must marry only a virgin.
14 A widow, or one divorced, or a profaned woman, or a harlot,
these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take to wife.
This goes for an infant convert because she was not born in
holiness but profaned and therefore even if she is a virgin, she cannot marry a
Cohain but can marry a Levi or even the Melech of Yisrael as did some
princesses with Shlomo. We can deduce that an ordinary Cohain can marry a widow
either for Yebum or not as she was never profaned. In the Second Temple one
Cohain married a divorcee and used her money to bribe himself into being the
Cohain HaGadol. He entered the holy of holies on Yom Kippur and died on the
spot. After that the corruption was so bad that ropes were tired to the Cohain
Gadol and pulled out. Rabbi Yishmael, who was the assistant Cohain Gadol,
usually finished the service.
15 And he shall not profane his seed among his people; for I am
the LORD who sanctify him.
He has extra holiness over all the Bnei Yisrael. This holiness
should be for all Cohanim.
So, he needed a back-up wife for Yom Kippur to make an atonement
on his household. She also had to be a virgin - Tractate Yoma.
16 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 17 Speak unto Aaron,
saying: Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a
blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
A Cohain had not only to be spiritually pure but physically pure
to serve. I heard of a Cohain who refused to see a dentist about a tooth ache.
18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not
approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath any thing maimed, or anything
too long,
For any man who has a defect should not
approach: [But this prohibition has already been stated (preceding
verse). The meaning here is that] it is not fitting that he should approach,
like “[When you offer up a blind [animal]…a lame or a sick one, is there
nothing wrong?] Were you to offer it to your governor, [would he accept you or
would he favor you? says the Lord of Hosts” (Malachi 1:8).
Thus, just as an animal with a defect is not fitting as an offering, neither is
a person with a defect fit for presenting it.] With a sunken nose: Heb. חָרֻם.
[This term means] that his nose is sunken between his two eyes, such that he
applies [eye shadow to] his two eyes with one stroke [i.e., his nose is so
sunken that its bridge does not intercede between the two eyes]. — [Torath
Kohanim 21:48; Bech. 43b] With mismatching limbs: Heb. שָׂרוּעַ
[This term means] that one of his limbs is bigger than its counterpart, [e.g.,]
one of his eyes is large, and one of his eyes is smaller [normal], or one thigh
longer than its [normal] counterpart. — [see Sifthei Chachamim; Bech. 40b]
19 or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed, 20 or
crook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath his eye overspread, or is scabbed, or
scurvy, or hath his stones crushed; 21 no man of the seed of Aaron the priest,
that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by
fire; he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
Just as the animal offering must be the best and unblemished so
too the Cohain.
Being born a Cohain, he is still privileged to eat Teruma, Lechem
HaPanim, Teruma Maaser and the gifts given a Cohain but not to serve. He may
flay the animal skins.
23 Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the
altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not My holy places; for I am
the LORD who sanctify them.
The L-RD requires the highest standard and if one broke an arm or
leg then there was a reason why he would not be able to serve HASHEM.
24 So Moses spoke unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the
children of Israel. 22:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 2 Speak unto
Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of
the children of Israel, which they hallow unto Me, and that they profane not My
holy name: I am the LORD.
One who is ritually impure cannot trespass and touch holy objects
or sacrifices.
3 Say unto them: Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your
generations, that approaches unto the holy things, which the children of Israel
hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut
off from before Me: I am the LORD.
Only if one knew it was holy and he was impure but if one or both
of this knowledge is missing, he offers up a sacrifice and pays a fine.
4 What man soever of the seed of
Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue, he shall not eat of the holy things, until
he be clean. And whoso touches any one that is unclean by the dead; or from
whomsoever the flow of seed goes out;. … 7 And when the sun is down, he shall
be clean; and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8 That which dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat to defile
himself therewith: I am the LORD.
He shall not eat a carcass or anything that was torn, thereby
becoming unclean through it: [Scripture] warned here regarding the [implications of one’s]
uncleanness, as follows: If one ate a carcass of a clean bird, which [as
explained (Rashi above 17:15),] does not defile through contact or by lifting
it but defiles only when it is swallowed into the esophagus-this person is
prohibited to eat holy things. Now, [a bird that had been torn (טְרֵפָה) and mortally wounded by a wild animal, if slaughtered
properly, does not convey uncleanness. So why is it mentioned here?] We must
say that וּטְרֵפָה is [stated only to
teach us that the carcass of a bird conveys uncleanness only] of the species
that can be prohibited because of טְרֵפָה,
thus excluding the carcass of an unclean bird, whose species can never fall
under the category of טְרֵפָה [because it is
prohibited even if it was perfectly healthy]. — [Torath Kohanim 17:125126; see
Rashi Lev
. 17:15]
9 They shall therefore keep My
charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am
the LORD who sanctify them. 10 There shall no common man eat of the holy thing;
a tenant of a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11
But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he may eat of it; and
such as are born in his house, they may eat of his bread.
This section was dealing with who
is permitted and who is barred from eating. Now we have a section of a Bas
Cohain who has no children and has become widowed.
12 And if a priest's daughter be
married unto a common man, she shall not eat of that which is set apart from
the holy things. 13 But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and
have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she
may eat of her father's bread; but there shall no common man eat thereof.
She is now the same status that she
was before she married and therefore a Bas Cohain.
14 And if a man eat of the holy
thing through error, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and
shall give unto the priest the holy thing. … 21 And whosoever brings a
sacrifice of peace-offerings unto the LORD in fulfilment of a vow clearly
uttered, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be
perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein. 22 Blind, or broken,
or maimed, or having a wen, or scabbed, or scurvy, ye shall not offer these
unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the
LORD.
This should be deduced from Kal V’
Chomer as if we don’t bring an animal sacrifice with these blemishes, all the
more so a Cohain should not serve with them. Still it is fully stated for
strengthening the argument and warning of a death penalty.
… 31 And ye shall keep My
commandments, and do them: I am the LORD. 32 And ye shall not
profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am
the LORD who hallow you, 33 that brought you out of the land of
Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
We have a review of the days of
holiness. We start with Shabbos the holiest day with a reminder not to do any
Melacha.
23:1 And the LORD spoke
unto Moses, saying: 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: The
appointed seasons of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations,
even these are My appointed seasons. 3 Six days shall work be done; but on the
seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no
manner of work; it is a Sabbath unto the LORD in all your dwellings.
This applies at all times in or out
of Eretz Yisrael. SOLEMN REST and no Melacha whatsoever.
4 These are the appointed seasons
of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed
season. 5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at dusk, is
the LORD'S Passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast
of unleavened bread unto the LORD; seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread. … 9
And the LORD spoke unto Moses saying: 10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them: When ye are come into the land which I give unto you, and shall
reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of
your harvest unto the priest.
This is on Chag Shavuos.
15 And ye shall count unto you from
the morrow after the day of rest, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the
waving; seven weeks shall there be complete; 16 even unto the morrow after the
seventh week shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall present a new
meal-offering unto the LORD.
We have a mention of the counting
of Omer and Shavuos.
17 Ye shall bring out of your
dwellings two wave-loaves of two tenth parts of an ephah; they shall be of fine
flour, they shall be baked with leaven, for first-fruits unto the LORD. 18 And
ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year,
and one young bullock, and two rams; they shall be a burnt-offering unto the
LORD, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 19 And ye shall offer one
he-goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs of the first year for a sacrifice
of peace-offerings. 20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the
first-fruits for a wave-offering before the LORD, with the two lambs; they
shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. 21 And ye shall make proclamation on
the selfsame day; there shall be a holy convocation unto you; ye shall do no
manner of servile work; it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings
throughout your generations. 22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou
shalt not wholly reap the corner of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the
gleaning of thy harvest; thou shalt leave them for the poor, and for the
stranger: I am the LORD your God. {P}
… 37 These are the appointed
seasons of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to bring
an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering,
a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day; 38 beside the Sabbaths
of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all
your freewill-offerings, which ye give unto the LORD. … 40 And ye shall take
you on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm-trees, and
boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and ye shall rejoice before
the LORD your God seven days.
The specification of bringing the 4
species of the Lulav and Esrog.
… 43 that your generations may know
that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out
of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 44 And Moses declared unto the
children of Israel the appointed seasons of the LORD.
This is part of the morning Kiddush
on Yom Tov.
24:1 … and a man with a Jewish
Mother and an Egyptian Father cursed G-D. … 15 And thou shalt speak unto the
children of Israel, saying: Whosoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 16 And
he that blasphemes the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death; all
the congregation shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger, as the
home-born, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
Below is a review of laws mentioned
in Parsha Mishpatim.
17 And he that smites any man
mortally shall surely be put to death. 18 And he that smites a beast mortally
shall make it good: life for life. 19 And if a man maim his neighbor; as he
hath done, so shall it be done to him: 20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth
for tooth; as he hath maimed a man, so shall it be rendered unto him. 21 And he
that kills a beast shall make it good; and he that kills a man shall be put to
death. 22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the
home-born; for I am the LORD your God.' 23 And Moses spoke to the children of
Israel, and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned
him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Wednesday night – Thursday is Lag B’ Omer and many get haircuts
other customs have in Sivan.
During the course of the week I get many letters. I got one from a
Biafrian ?Jew? who asked me how to learn Torah and then thanked me in the name
of Yeshu. I explained to him about one Moshiach only and a few other things and
he thanked me.
I received this note from an army veteran, Stephen, To you and your loved ones Shabbat Shalom
Rabbi, how you get to take a break and rest some. My reply was typical of I guess all Rabbis. Stephen my dear friend and soldier. I am in the
army of HASHEM and I guess an officer. HE who guards Israel neither slumbers or
sleeps (Tehillim 121) I am human and must sleep but King David had very little
rest and I guess I will get mine in the next world. Shabbos is a soul refresher
and I wish you have that. When everybody guards the Shabbos then I too can ease
up a bit.
The third was from a new Giyores who is going to be married after
Shabbos. She thanked me for helping her keep the faith and continuing the
process despite all the pitfalls. I use the path of Hillel and not Shammai.
“Painful” Surgery. By Rabbi Y.
Tilles
About seven years before HaRav Ovadia Yosef, the former "Rishon L'Tzion"
('First in Zion' -- i.e., chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel) passed away in Oct.
2013, he suffered from terrible stomach pains. His son Rabbi David accompanied
him to the hospital. The doctors ordered a battery of tests, and they uncovered
an issue that required immediate laparoscopic surgery. However, at his advanced
age and with his weak condition, the doctors felt that it would be dangerous to
place him under anesthesia. They also expressed concern that it would take him
several weeks to recover from it.
They told Rabbi David that
they could do the surgery without anesthesia and it would take about a half
hour, but they warned him that the procedure would be extremely painful. They
said they would have several staff members present just to hold him down, and
they told him to prepare himself and be ready to hear shouts of pain.
Rabbi David asked the
doctors to describe to Rav Ovadia what the procedure would be like so that he
wouldn't be shocked when the pain began. When Rav Ovadia heard the plan, he
said, "Beseder" ('ok'), and sighed about what he
was facing.
He remarked, "If this
is a pain that I have no choice but to suffer, it should be a kaparah, -- an atonement -- for my sins". He said
to Rabbi David, "Please bring me my Gemara and I will try to distract
myself from the pain as much as possible." His son brought in the volume
of the Talmud Rav Ovadia was learning at the time, Baba Batra, and then
left the room.
Rabbi David related,
"A large group of doctors and other hospital staff entered the operating
room, but I did not hear a single sound emanating from within. Finally, after
about half an hour, the doctors came out and said, 'We were shocked - the Rav
didn't make a peep the entire time!'
I went inside to check on
my father and asked him, 'Abba, how are you
feeling?'
He looked up at me and,
slightly irritated, he said, 'Please ask the doctors how long they're going to
make me wait. Let them start already so they can finish!'
I happily told him that the
procedure was completed. My father was so engrossed in his learning that he
hadn't even felt the doctors operating on him!"
