Good morning. Welcome

0:09

to today's Chumish portion

0:12

in the combined portion

0:14

of Tazria Mitzvah chapter 14

0:16

verse 33 the Aliyah

0:18

for Friday. In

0:22

this combined portion the

0:24

main focus of the

0:26

portion is a biblical

0:29

plague. called Biblical

0:31

leprosy, not to be confused

0:33

with modern medical

0:35

leprosy. This was a

0:37

punishment primarily for Lushanhara, for

0:40

gossip, for

0:42

bad -mouthing others, or

0:45

as we spoke yesterday,

0:47

for seven different transgressions,

0:49

others say 11 different

0:51

transgressions, and it was

0:53

a spiritual manifestation within the

0:55

physical realm, coming in

0:58

three stages. There

1:00

is body leprosy, leprosy developing

1:02

in the body. Garment

1:05

leprosy developing in the garments,

1:07

and we covered those two,

1:10

and now we segue over

1:12

to house leprosy. Leprosy developing

1:14

in the buildings, good morning,

1:18

in the houses. Now we have to

1:20

bear in mind that most houses in

1:22

Israel were

1:25

made of stone you know

1:28

the famous Jerusalem stone or

1:30

other forms of stone houses

1:32

Complimented with wood, but it

1:34

was not like the Structures of

1:37

houses here. It was by

1:39

and large stone so the

1:41

leprosy would develop within the

1:43

structure of the stone and

1:45

the mortar and It would

1:47

develop a weird strange color

1:50

discoloration rotting and so on

1:52

the challenge of the coating

1:54

Who is the only one

1:56

licensed to diagnose? Is

1:58

this leprosy? Or

2:00

is it termites? Or

2:02

do you have to call a contractor? Or

2:05

is it dry -rop? Or

2:07

is it another form of some

2:09

type of fungus? That's

2:11

the challenge that the coin has.

2:14

House leprosy is particularly

2:16

complex. As

2:19

we've learned, there's a very

2:21

long rushy outlining the procedure

2:24

quarantine one week, two weeks, three weeks, and

2:26

so on and so forth. I

2:29

will do what I've done in the

2:31

past, and that is to begin with,

2:33

just to read this first section from

2:36

the Gut De Komisch, which gives you

2:38

a flow in plain English of what

2:40

happens. So bear with me. God

2:43

spoke to Moshe and to Aaron saying, when

2:46

you come in to enter into the

2:48

land of Canaan, which I am

2:50

giving you as your possession, and

2:52

I place Saras lesions on

2:54

houses in the land of

2:57

the Amorites, which the children

2:59

of Reuben and God will

3:01

choose to possess. In

3:04

this particular hummish, it takes the important highlights

3:06

of Rashi and puts it into the flow.

3:09

The owner of the house should

3:11

inform the priest saying, there appears

3:13

to me to be something like

3:15

a Saras lesion in my house.

3:17

Upon the coin's instructions, they should

3:19

clear out. the house

3:21

before the cohen comes to inspect

3:23

the lesion so that every earthenware

3:26

vessel in the house should not

3:28

become irreversibly ritually impure if the

3:30

cohen pronounces the house ritually impure.

3:33

Afterwards, the cohen should come to inspect the

3:35

house. He should inspect the lesion. And

3:38

if the lesion in the walls of

3:40

the house consists of a dark green

3:42

or dark red sunken looking stain, appearing

3:44

as if they are deeper than the

3:47

wall, then the Cohen should go outside

3:49

the house to the entrance of the

3:51

house, and he should quarantine the house

3:53

for seven days. Police line do not

3:55

cross. Quarantine. Yellow

3:58

tag, red tag. The

4:00

Cohen should then return on the seventh day. If

4:03

he sees that the lesion has spread in the

4:05

walls of the house, then the

4:07

Cohen should instruct that they remove the stones

4:09

which the lesion is on, and

4:11

they should cast them away outside the

4:14

city. to a ritually impure place, so

4:16

you can go in and selectively cut

4:18

out the problem stones. He

4:20

should scrape out the house from the

4:22

inside all around the lesion, and they

4:24

should pour out the mortar dust from

4:27

what they scraped outside the city to

4:29

a ritually impure place, because this is

4:31

impure. It's got to be outside the

4:33

city limits. They should take

4:35

other stones and bring them instead of

4:38

those stones. He should take other mortar

4:40

dust and plaster the house, so everybody

4:42

is fine. But if the lesion

4:44

returns and erupts in the house at the

4:46

end of the week, after he has removed

4:48

the stones, scraped the part of the house

4:50

around the lesion and plastered it, and it

4:52

comes back, this is

4:54

a problem. Houston, we got a problem.

4:57

The Kohane should come and inspect it. If he sees

4:59

that the lesion in the house has spread, it

5:02

is a piercing saras in the house,

5:04

and it is ritually impure. So what's

5:06

the next step? He should demolish the

5:09

house. It's stones, it's wood, all the

5:11

mortar dust of the house, and you

5:13

should take the rubble outside the city

5:15

to a ritually impure place. Anyone

5:17

who enters the house during all the days

5:20

of the quarantine will become ritually impure until

5:22

the evening. Whoever

5:24

lies down on the house should immerse his

5:26

garments in amikvah. Whoever eats in the house

5:29

should immerse his garments in amikvah. But if

5:31

the Coen comes again, but if the Coen

5:33

comes and comes again and looks at the

5:35

lesion, and sees that the lesion did not

5:37

spread in the house. After the house has

5:40

been plastered, the Cohen should pronounce the house

5:42

ritually pure because the lesion has healed. And

5:45

then he goes on to ritually

5:47

purify the house and will pause

5:49

here and go to the actual

5:51

text. Is this exciting

5:53

or what? Okay.

5:57

Chapter 14, verse 33 by

5:59

David Hashem al -Mosheh, V.

6:02

L. Aaron Lamer and God spoke to Moshe and

6:04

Aaron saying, Key Savo 'el

6:06

at its Kanan, when you will enter

6:09

into the land of Kanan Asheranina Islachem,

6:11

which I'm about to give you. Lachuzas

6:13

and inheritance, good morning, welcome. Minasati

6:15

negat saras, I will place

6:18

a plague of leprosy, beveis

6:20

eratsachuzaschem in the house of

6:22

the land of your possessions.

6:25

Now, this sounds like a terrible thing, leprosy

6:27

breaking out in the house. Famous

6:30

Rashi from the Medrish, 34.

6:33

Minasati negat saras. says Rashi,

6:35

sounds like bad news, it's

6:37

good news. Besaidahiloham,

6:40

shanigoyim boyam, ilayim, it's good

6:43

news. Guess what guys, leprosy

6:45

is coming, yay. Why

6:47

is it good news? Because

6:52

the Amorites concealed hidden treasures

6:54

in the walls of their

6:56

houses. They said the Jews

6:58

are coming, let's bury the

7:00

treasures, as soon as we

7:02

defeat them, we'll be back.

7:05

and unearth them. So they buried them in

7:07

the walls of the house. Call

7:10

our boy, I'm going to show

7:12

you soon, by mid -bar. The

7:14

Amorites spent 40 years in meticulous

7:16

planning, burying treasures deep in

7:18

the walls of their house. How

7:22

is the Jew going to know it's there? There's

7:25

no treasure map, only on television they have

7:27

maps. By your day

7:29

Hannega Nesetsabai is through the plague

7:32

that Hashem causes to break out

7:34

here and there He breaks down

7:36

the house omates on and he

7:39

finds the treasures so that Very

7:41

important lesson stuff that looks bad

7:43

is really good Here leprosy. It's

7:45

terrible. What else could go wrong

7:48

suddenly end up with We used

7:50

to say a million dollars, but

7:52

today we say a billion dollars

7:55

because a million is for paupers

7:57

today So

7:59

that which looked like it was

8:01

a terrible event became the most

8:04

blessed event of one's life. Just

8:07

to very quickly point out

8:09

some of the points that

8:11

the Rebbe makes in reviewing

8:13

this verse at different Febrengens,

8:16

the Rebbe says, verse

8:19

34 says, when you will

8:22

enter into the land of

8:24

Knaan and Rashi says, the

8:26

embo writes, Amorites

8:29

are one of seven Canaanite

8:31

nations. If you're talking about

8:33

Canaan, say the Canaanites. Why

8:35

the Amorites? So,

8:40

just to cut to the chase, the

8:44

rabbi went on to

8:46

explain the Pusuk with

8:48

Hashem speaking to Abraham,

8:51

to Avromavinu, the

8:54

Deir revi, Yoshubu Hainu,

9:00

because the sins of the Emirates have

9:02

not reached the fullness of their cup.

9:05

The Emirates were the last of

9:08

the seven Canaanite nations to merit

9:10

to be overrun because of their

9:12

sins. But we have to wait

9:14

a little bit, so they were

9:16

the last. Therefore, we focus on

9:19

the Emirates. Furthermore,

9:24

What is the meaning of

9:26

Amorite? So

9:29

there's an expression. I

9:32

am giving

9:36

you an

9:39

extra portion.

9:45

I have taken

9:47

from the Amorite

9:49

with my sword

9:51

and with my

9:53

bow. So Rashi

9:55

says, with my

9:57

prayers, with my

9:59

supplication, emory

10:02

means to speak. The

10:06

key to

10:08

reaching the

10:10

hidden treasure

10:12

is to

10:14

use speech

10:16

properly. not

10:19

to speak foolishness, as we learn

10:21

here in this section, that when

10:23

the Cohen comes to the house,

10:26

one should never even say, my

10:28

house got plagued, because that's speaking

10:31

foolishly. Kin nega nida li babayas.

10:33

Something like a plague. Let

10:36

the Cohen say it's plagued. You shouldn't even

10:38

talk like that. Furthermore,

10:42

the power of speech Through

10:44

our speech, Emory, Bihar Biyu

10:46

Bikashti, we have the power

10:48

of prayer, we have the

10:50

power of Torah study, we have the

10:52

ability, the potential to ignite the spark

10:55

within our fellow man, to encourage someone,

10:57

to draw them out of the pits

10:59

of morose of depression, or we have

11:01

the potential to be destructive and to

11:03

ruin someone's day and to ruin someone's

11:06

life. So that speech

11:08

can uncover sunken treasures, hidden

11:10

treasures in life. This is

11:12

the symbolism of the emory.

11:15

There's a lot more to be said, but boy,

11:17

we got a portion. So we're going to start

11:19

trucking. OK. 35.

11:22

So the owner of the

11:24

house comes. And he

11:27

pours to the call and saying,

11:29

here's that word. Something

11:32

like a plague. I'm

11:34

not sure what it is. Maybe it's not a plague. Nidalee

11:38

Babayes, maybe it's termites. Something

11:40

is cooking in my house.

11:43

Nidalee Babayes, even

11:46

if he's an

11:48

expert, and

11:50

he knows for sure,

11:53

if he's a govabur,

11:55

he should not verbalize

11:57

a certain statement, something

12:00

like, It's

12:02

Siva Akayen, and the Cohen gives

12:05

the word. Uffinous Haba is, what

12:07

does the Cohen do? He sends an email. He

12:09

says, take everything out of the house before

12:11

I get there. Before

12:15

the Cohen comes to inspect

12:17

the plague, why? Because

12:19

once the Cohen comes and says, it

12:22

is impure, everything in the house is

12:24

impure. Until the Cohen says it's impure,

12:26

nothing is impure. So

12:28

therefore, why make things impure? What's the

12:30

problem if you make things impure? During

12:33

the time that the base amygdala stood, everyone

12:35

had to keep ritual purity. The problem

12:38

is that you have to schlep the couch to the mikvah. You

12:40

ever take a couch to the mikvah? You

12:42

have to borrow a pickup truck, that's number one. You

12:45

have to schlep the couch, the

12:47

living room table, the big conference,

12:50

the kitchen chairs, the kitchen sink, you

12:53

gotta schlep it all to the mikvah.

12:55

Second of all, that's a heifer problem.

12:57

The bigger problem is the earthenware vessels

12:59

cannot be purified in a mikvah. As

13:01

we learned, they can only be broken.

13:03

Therefore, the Coen says, do me a favor. Or as

13:06

they said back in Newark when I was going up,

13:08

make me a favor. Take

13:10

everything out of the house. Because

13:12

when I come, I want an empty house.

13:16

The Achaqane, and only after that, Yovay Achaian

13:18

leaders and some boys, the Coen will come

13:21

and inspect the house. 36,

13:23

36, 36, 36, 36, 36,

13:28

36, 36,

13:31

36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36,

13:34

36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36,

13:39

36, 36, 36, 36, 36,

13:48

36, He's going to have to lock

13:50

up everything, quarantine everything. What happens then? Everything

13:53

within it becomes impure.

13:56

So, what's the Torah worried about

13:58

here? If stuff that

14:00

could be rinsed, you have to be able

14:02

to be a Torah, let them rinse it,

14:05

and they become pure. If

14:07

it's food and

14:10

drink, let the person consume

14:12

this food and drink when he's not going to the base of

14:14

the English. So

14:20

because of some pottery, the

14:24

Coen says, take everything out of the

14:26

house. Here it shows how concerned the

14:28

Torah is with financial loss. We're not

14:30

allowed to waste anything, even an earthenware

14:33

vessel. is

14:42

fixed in the walls of the house.

14:45

Shikara -ruh, shikara -ruh

14:47

-res, yirak -rakes, ey

14:49

-ya -dam -dam -les, streaks of

14:51

greenish or reddish or deep green

14:53

or deep rain, red, o -mare

14:55

-hen, sho -fo -minakir, and they

14:58

appear to be deeper than the

15:00

rest of the wall. It looks

15:02

weird and strange. Shikara

15:05

-ruh, shikas -ba -mare -hem, sunken

15:08

in their appearance. 38

15:10

we also came in Abayah so Pesch Abayah the cone walks

15:12

out of the house to the gateway of the house. We

15:14

used to get us Abayah. She was young with quarantines it

15:16

for seven days. Shabbat came by

15:18

Yamashvita cone comes back on the

15:20

seventh day. 39 we don't need

15:22

inspects. And behold, the plague

15:24

spread in the walls of the house. They

15:26

can mark the line and they see if

15:29

it spread. So if

15:31

it spread, that's never good news. Forty

15:34

would see what kind of coin gives the word.

15:36

They take out the stones. You

15:40

take it out

15:43

of the city,

15:47

take it out of Encino, you put it in their

15:49

eyes. El became tome

15:51

to an impure spot. I'm just

15:53

kidding, just kidding. I didn't mean

15:55

that. For

15:59

those who are watching or listening far away,

16:01

that was a politically charged comment. Okay. 41

16:25

yes a bias acts here me bias of

16:28

him in the house shall be scraped You're

16:30

gonna have a contractor the shop for us

16:32

offer and they pour the mortar Ashredik so

16:34

which they scraped off the dust and the

16:36

cooks later outside the city and what can

16:39

tell me to this impure place This

16:45

language is used in the Mishnah me

16:47

bias, me bifnim, inside. Sobib

16:49

sivvah sanegah, round about the

16:51

plague. You should scrape the

16:53

plaster, which is around the

16:55

stones of the plague. They

17:02

go and

17:04

they. Buy

17:06

other stones baby. I'll talk us

17:08

out of them to replace these

17:10

stones The offer I'll take my

17:12

talk us a bias and other

17:15

mortar, and he replacers the house

17:17

Yoshivan nega offer of a bias

17:19

So now it should be good

17:21

the plague stones have been removed

17:23

clean stones from stones are us

17:25

have been put in and it's

17:27

all kosher The problem is that

17:29

there is a problem. So the

17:31

plague returns Achar

17:34

Chilotsavonim, after the stones have been

17:36

taken out, and Achar Hiktsisabaius, after

17:38

it was scraped, Achar Itaiach, after

17:40

it was plastered, it's back.

17:43

Honey, I'm home. There's a problem. Forty

17:46

-three Hiktsis, Loshan Hios,

17:49

it's passive, Achar Hiktsisabaius.

17:51

Achar Chilotsavonim, Loshan Hios,

17:53

it's passive, Achar Itaiach,

17:56

Achar Itaiach, Achar Itaiach,

17:58

Itaiach, Itaiach, Itaiach, Achar Achar

18:00

Itaiach, Ach should be in pure Tamil Nadu with

18:02

Shahbhakaena. has to be, the court has to go

18:04

and come back. Mim yosha ma shiva murahala saif

18:06

shivu, the end of a week. Ah, shiva murahala

18:08

saif shivu, it has to be at the end

18:10

of a week. It comes back the same day,

18:12

it's meaningless. 44,

18:15

at the end of the week of Vahakaena,

18:17

the court comes back, we're on the inspects.

18:19

Vinay posan negababayas, behold the plague spread in

18:21

the house. Tsaras ma

18:23

mereci. This is a... really tough

18:26

plague or malignant or piercing by

18:28

bias in the house. Tommy, who

18:30

it's impure. Rashi.

18:34

I would think that the

18:37

reappearing plague is not impure

18:39

unless it has spread because

18:41

it says it came back

18:43

and spread. It

18:46

says malignant. leprosy with

18:49

houseplakes. The same language

18:51

is used with Garment

18:54

Plakes. There,

18:58

he makes impure just because it

19:00

reappeared. Aphapetia in the past, even though it

19:02

doesn't spread. Aphkantimus hachazer. Aphapetia in

19:04

the past, also here. He makes it impure, even

19:06

though it hasn't spread. Him came out, told him,

19:08

let me be an apostle. So why are we

19:10

talking about spreading? This is Rashi,

19:13

in this long, complex Rashi, which we're going

19:15

to go through quickly. Enkan

19:17

m 'kemi shomikose. So one can say

19:19

that this is not technically the right

19:21

place of this. This

19:37

comes to teach us if the plague remains

19:39

as it is during the first week. Lemaeloklum,

19:49

where he doesn't say anything before. Beimedayna

19:51

Beshevurishin, if it remains the same in

19:53

the first week. Beimedayna Khakan, he comes

19:55

to teach you. Befisoyin zeh, that this

19:57

spreading, Shenebedabro, Beimedavrishin, Apostle Beshenin, that it's

19:59

from the first week, and the spreading

20:01

happens in the second week. Ma Yaasili,

20:03

what should he do? Yochol Yitzhen, I

20:05

would think he should break it. Tumesh

20:08

samachle bina sabayestah. Beimedayna Beshevakhein, obaakhein. Numud

20:10

bimishiba, we learn one verse from the

20:12

other. Ma Shiba. Chalets v 'keitach v

20:14

'itach, just as returning involves taking out

20:16

the bad stones. scraping and plastering, when

20:18

they say, we're giving another week. Abiyah,

20:20

so also when he comes, he takes

20:22

it, he takes it, he does the

20:24

same thing. When they say,

20:26

he gives it another week. And

20:29

if it returns, he breaks it

20:31

down. But if it doesn't, it's

20:33

pure. How do we

20:35

know that if it remained the same? During the

20:37

first two weeks, he should take it out and

20:39

scrape it. We'll talk. We'll give it a week,

20:41

Tom. give it a a week, Tom. Tom. give

20:43

week, Tom. it a week, Tom.

20:48

give a week,

20:51

Tom. give

20:53

it a week, Tom. He came at

20:55

the end of the first week. Obama

20:57

said to Washington, he came at the

20:59

end of the second week. He saw

21:01

that it did not spread. The

21:04

one that is consistent, it's not

21:06

spreading. He thought to

21:08

be able to go home.

21:14

Only if it's healed. Only

21:17

if it becomes less. We

21:20

use the same language.

21:23

He has to. Take

21:25

it out, scrape, plaster,

21:27

give it a week.

21:30

Because we learn one from

21:32

the other. So also in

21:34

the other case. The bottom

21:37

line says Rasha. Breaking

21:42

down the house only takes place when

21:44

the plague returns after taking it out

21:46

because it's scraping and plastering. It's

21:51

a spread, but if it

21:53

just returns without spreading, it's also bad

21:55

news. Therefore, says

21:57

Rashi, who said that I'm a cross, came to the order of

22:00

the verses, would be as follows. He

22:03

quarantines it

22:06

for the

22:09

second week

22:11

of the

22:14

Savior. The

22:17

end of the second week of the quarantine, he

22:19

comes with all, and he sees that it has

22:21

spread. O my Yastri, what should he do? and

22:27

gives it another week. Chozar, if it comes back.

22:29

Naesets, he breaks it down. Le Chozar,

22:32

if not, taunziponim. He has the whole

22:34

cleansing ritual. Sheim ben -degayi vesim ishlesi

22:36

shivu. The whole process is never more

22:39

than three weeks. This

22:41

is a very complex halacha, and Rashi

22:43

is telling us that the way the

22:45

Torah writes it, it's written in that

22:48

way for many reasons. But that's not

22:50

the flow of the events. If

22:53

you want to properly understand this Rashi, Give

22:55

it about a week. Forty

22:58

-six Mahabboel Abba, let's see.

23:01

Forty... Where are we here? Not forty -six.

23:05

Forty -five. He

23:08

then breaks down the house. What does it

23:10

mean to knock down the house? As abon

23:12

of the stones, as eights of NFT as

23:15

wood, as kalaparabayas, and all of the mortar?

23:17

But he hates you and he takes everything

23:19

out to me chutzli or outside the city

23:21

limits. I welcome Tommy to a place of

23:23

impurity. Abolabayis, anybody who enters into the

23:25

house, call you me hisgere, say during the days of

23:28

its quarantine. Yitmohadurah

23:30

would become impure, a minor

23:32

form of impurity which is

23:34

one day mikvah, sunset, he's

23:36

out, he's done. Forty -six,

23:39

call you me hisgere, say belayyamim, shekolibus, negay,

23:41

not during the days when he removes it.

23:45

I might think I would exclude a house to

23:48

clear leprosy, where he's removed the plague. You may

23:50

all the days. It

23:52

does not make the garments impure. It's

23:55

a minor form of impurity. I

24:00

would think if he stayed there as

24:02

long as it took to eat. a

24:06

certain substantial portion called Achillespras,

24:08

a loaf of an ordinary

24:10

meal. He

24:12

who eats in the house has

24:14

to wash his garments. In

24:17

the Elohechal eating, sheikh him and I, how do we know

24:19

lying down? In the Elohechal

24:21

eating, sheikh him and I, in the eating, the eating, him

24:24

him and the eating, eating, sheikh the Elohechal eating, I, Elohechal eating, eating,

24:28

sheikh I, in the

24:30

eating, sheikh and

24:32

I, in the eating, I,

24:34

the Elohechal think that's what it

24:37

means. 47. One who lies down

24:39

on the house should wash his

24:41

garments. One who eats in the

24:44

house should wash his garments. There

24:46

are various levels of impurity. One

24:49

is immersion in a mikvah. One is washing the garments.

24:51

This is a one -day form of impurity. 48.

24:54

In Be 'yavayakai, and what if the

24:57

Coen comes with on his sees? In

24:59

Leifosa, Anegabavayas, it did not spread. Achreitechas,

25:02

Abayas, after he plans to the

25:04

house. But the Anegabavayas and the

25:06

Coen will pronounce it pure, because

25:08

it's been healed. 48.

25:11

In Be 'yavayakai, at the end of the second

25:13

week, we refer to this verse earlier. pronounce

25:24

it clean.

25:27

If it's

25:30

becoming smaller

25:33

and weaker.

25:37

And this is only considered

25:40

healed when it's misgrape plastered

25:42

and the plague has not

25:44

reappeared. stones

25:49

to be taken out, the kids to be taken out,

25:51

scraping a plaster, which we'll see in a third week,

25:54

as we mentioned above. Second

25:56

week. There's

26:01

never any plastering without taking

26:04

out the scraping. Only

26:07

then. If it doesn't come

26:09

back, the Cohen makes it pronounce it pure.

26:11

In lech hazzal seif shuwa sheinit leh seif

26:14

hashuwa kinit bahan negit has been healed. In

26:16

lech hazzal, but if it did come back,

26:18

we already explained that you have to knock

26:20

down the house. Now

26:24

that we're done with that,

26:27

how does one enter into

26:29

a refurification process? What's the

26:31

ritual for purification? We learned

26:33

earlier what the ritual was

26:36

for the plague. of

26:38

leprosy of man. What about the

26:40

garment? Forty -nine, very similar. They

26:43

take to cleanse the house. They

26:45

take zipporim to birds. And

26:48

ate eris and some

26:50

cedar wood. And some

26:52

grass. This

27:01

is virtually very much the same

27:03

as we learned earlier. And

27:06

he takes the cedar wood, the

27:09

blade of grass, the scarlet thread,

27:11

the chiparachai and the living bird,

27:13

and immerses them in the blood

27:15

of the slaughtered bird. And now,

27:17

sprinkles it seven times in the

27:20

house, this mix with all the

27:22

symbolism which we talked about earlier

27:24

in the beginning of portion two.

27:28

52 that's why there's no rush, because we already

27:30

covered all this. 53,

27:45

if she looks at Zipporachaya, he sends off

27:47

the living bird on the Chutzlohrir outside the

27:49

city limits. He'll play a soda outside into

27:51

the field. He says, fly away, little bird.

27:54

We learned earlier. What's the symbolism of

27:57

sending the bird away? Because the guy

27:59

has to know if you don't behave

28:01

the bird can return. He knows where

28:04

you live So you got to behave

28:06

yourself a heap of all bias. He

28:08

makes a torment for the house with

28:11

toy and he becomes pure Continued Zeis

28:13

hataytah the above is the teaching The

28:15

law, for all types of leprosy, and

28:18

all types of schools, for

28:20

garment leprosy, house leprosy,

28:23

for rising scabs, bright

28:25

spots on skin, ladies

28:28

to teach the laws concerning what is

28:30

done on the day when impurity is

28:32

declared, or what is to be done

28:35

on the day that purity is declared,

28:43

Matari which they should declare when he

28:45

declares it pure, Vesa, Yehmetami

28:47

and which day he declares it impure. Now

28:50

we segue into chapter 15. Is

28:53

this exciting or what? Chapter

28:55

15 is even more exciting than

28:57

chapter 14. Chapter

29:00

14 was about the exciting

29:02

subject of Biblical leprosy. Chapter

29:05

15 is about

29:08

the exciting subject

29:10

of normal an

29:13

abnormal flows of

29:16

male and female.

29:19

Every male could have a normal

29:21

flow where semen comes forth from

29:24

the male body. That's normal. Then

29:27

there could be an abnormal flow

29:29

where something is wrong and some

29:31

abnormal discharge is coming forth from

29:33

the body. Again, if

29:36

it's a medical condition, you

29:38

gotta see a urologist. But

29:41

if it's a spiritual condition, it

29:43

makes you impure. So

29:45

within the male body, there is

29:47

the normal flow and the abnormal

29:50

flow. Within the female

29:52

body, there is the normal flow,

29:54

menstrual cycle, the menstrual blood, the

29:56

menses, and the abnormal flow, which

29:58

is when it's not appropriate, when

30:01

it's discolored, when it's the wrong

30:03

type, the wrong time. So

30:05

it's, again, male, female, normal, abnormal. That's

30:07

what we're about to learn now. And

30:10

the impurity that is caused because of

30:12

it, and the mode of becoming pure.

30:15

Okay? Now, I mean, can you get more exciting

30:17

than this? By Dabr Hashem

30:19

el Moshevel Aaron Lamerov. It's a luftjack. I

30:22

think we need to revive the people here.

30:25

And God spoke to Moshe and

30:27

Aaron saying, Dabru

30:30

Elbina Yisro, speak to the children of

30:32

Israel. I'm out to my layman and

30:34

say to them, Ish ish, any man,

30:37

starts with the male, ki

30:39

yeh yeh zov mi psareh,

30:42

if there are issues forth

30:44

from his flesh, zei vei

30:46

e flow, tome hu

30:48

he is impure. Any flow

30:50

makes one impure. Healthy or

30:52

unhealthy? That

30:55

is the main reason why there

30:58

is what we call Tevilas Ezra,

31:00

the immersion in the mikva instituted

31:02

by Ezra. which is, to

31:05

every man, go to a

31:07

mikvah. Every man must

31:10

go to a mikvah the day

31:12

before Yom Kippur. Many go the

31:14

day before major holidays. Many go

31:16

before Shabbat, Arab Shabbos. There

31:19

are some who immerse in a

31:21

mikvah every day before they pray,

31:23

because any type of emission

31:26

from a man makes one

31:28

impure. How are you going

31:30

to stand pray and pray

31:32

if This impurity

31:35

came about even in

31:37

the best of circumstances

31:39

Verse two Years of

31:41

There will be a

31:43

flow. What kind of

31:46

flow do we talk

31:48

about a nosebleed? Yachos

31:51

of Mekomokim, I would think flowing

31:53

from anywhere. You hate Tommy the

31:55

man would be impure the answer

31:57

is no Tom would lame or

31:59

be sorry from his flesh Which

32:01

flesh? They cope, sorry, not all

32:03

flesh. Which part of the

32:05

body are we talking about? Once

32:09

the Torah differentiates between flesh and

32:11

flesh, Zakhisi Lodin, so I would

32:13

be permitted to determine, says Rashi

32:15

poetically. There is

32:17

the male flow and there's the female

32:20

flow. We're

32:24

talking about a flow from the womb area.

32:26

We're not talking about a cut on the

32:28

finger. Tumma kala

32:31

nide, if you're talking about a

32:33

minor form of impurity, which is

32:35

the normal menstrual cycle, the normal

32:37

menstruation, Tumma hamura

32:39

becomes major impure,

32:41

ziva, an abnormal

32:44

flow. Af hazav, so

32:46

being that that is from the place

32:48

of intimacy, that's where the

32:50

flow comes from. Af hazav mim

32:52

akim shim etam etumma kala kari.

32:54

So also in the mail, a

32:58

normal Flow which causes

33:00

impurity is when any form

33:02

of seed it comes forth.

33:05

The more severe form is

33:07

when an unhealthy flow comes

33:09

forth from the male organ.

33:12

Ziva, that's the flow that

33:14

we're talking about. So we're

33:17

not talking about nosebleeds and

33:19

finger cuts. We're talking about

33:21

male and female flow from

33:24

the place of intimacy. This

33:28

teaches us that even a single

33:31

drop makes one impure. healthy

33:56

seminal flow and unhealthy flow

33:58

where one is weakish and

34:00

scattered and so on and

34:02

so forth. Okay, so that's

34:04

the introduction where Rashi says

34:06

there is normal or abnormal

34:08

or healthy and unhealthy. Verse

34:12

3. This will be

34:14

the law of impurity with this

34:16

flow. Bessari

34:22

Miseve, or it becomes stopped up from

34:24

this issue. To Mosse, he, this is

34:27

a state of impurity. Rashi,

34:29

Ror, Loshenri, are discharged. Shazabah is Bessari, his

34:31

flesh discharged. Bessari became a real ex -biddle.

34:34

She eats it all. She eats it all.

34:36

She eats it all. It comes out thick.

34:38

Bessari must be armed and closes. The opening

34:40

at the top of the membrane. Vanistin, Bessari,

34:43

and it becomes stopped. Miti Bessari, from the

34:45

drop of discharge. Zelp, shute, this is the

34:47

simple meaning. Medrashid, the Medrashid

34:49

says, Monak, Kosovo, Rishan. Riyashtayim

34:51

v 'Karitamit. Taur talks about seeing

34:54

this happening twice, and he says

34:56

it's impure. Shanaim az -Zavib. Sorry,

34:58

Zavitamit, who, there's a double expression.

35:00

Ma 'anakas v 'ashaynid yashalis. Three

35:02

times. O 'Karitamit declares it impure.

35:04

Shanaim atum asim b 'zavit. Rab

35:06

saray az -Zavit. Ekhtim asarim b

35:08

'zavit. Tum asim. So there's two,

35:10

and there's three. Ok, it's done.

35:12

Shtayim latum atum makes it impure.

35:14

Vashlicious. And the third, Maskikosi the

35:16

Karbon. makes him bring an

35:19

offering, because this is a serious situation.

35:21

So there is the normal discharge, which

35:24

is impure, but no big

35:26

deal. There is the abnormal

35:28

discharge, and then there's the

35:30

one, two, three abnormal discharge, which we're

35:33

going to learn leads to a whole

35:35

ritual of purification. Now,

35:38

in the meantime, the

35:40

person who has the

35:43

discharge makes everything impure

35:45

around him. for anything

35:48

that he lays on

35:50

becomes impure. Anything that

35:53

he sits on becomes

35:56

impure. This

35:59

is an important halach

36:01

in the laws of

36:03

purity and impurity. What

36:06

is considered something that people lay

36:08

in? A bed. What

36:10

if it's a workbench and it's used for work

36:13

and he lies on it? Is that considered? So

36:16

he says, it's fit for another

36:18

function. It

36:20

has to be something that people

36:22

sit on rather than something people

36:25

work on. They find

36:27

the guy sleeping on their workbench and

36:29

they say, hey, you get up. We

36:31

have to go to work. Then it's

36:33

not something people sleep on. It can't

36:35

become impure. It

36:39

has to be pre -designated

36:41

for sleeping. And

36:43

of course, as I've

36:45

mentioned so many times, one -sixth of

36:47

the Mishnah deals with laws of purity

36:49

and impurity. There are so many details

36:51

here, we're just glossing over them. Five.

36:54

What if the guy did lay on the

36:56

bed during his condition and somebody touches the

36:59

bed, you have his blood rocked by him,

37:01

you tell him, that person becomes impure and

37:03

he has to purify himself by immersing in

37:06

a mikvah. The

37:09

bed is more serious, good

37:11

morning, than touching, because one

37:13

becomes the parent of impurity,

37:16

a more severe kind, to

37:18

make other people impure, to

37:20

make garments impure by maga,

37:22

but just touching, which is

37:25

not laying down, is only

37:27

a second degree impurity. Impurity

37:29

works in degrees, the greatest

37:31

form of impurity is a

37:34

corpse. after that is someone

37:36

who's exposed to a corpse. Then he gets

37:38

less and less and less. Vayne v 'tam

37:40

be 'la ach lina mashkime, only renders impure

37:42

food and drink. Siks

37:44

v 'ayeshav alakli, aniyu, sits on the

37:47

chair or any type of sitting thing.

37:49

Ash -ayeshav alav azav, where the zove

37:51

sits, the abnormal flow, you have

37:53

to wash his garments with achas b 'mayiman, bath

37:55

in water, v 'tam ayad a 'arev. My Eshwar

37:58

al -Kli, I feel like I he doesn't touch,

38:00

I feel like I saw the cams, I was

38:02

there. Let's say you have stack chairs, the guy,

38:04

the Zob sits on the top of the stack

38:06

chairs, on the top of ten chairs. He makes

38:09

them all impure. Okay,

38:11

if you ever see a Zob sitting on a

38:14

stack, don't let him. You

38:16

can have, let's say,

38:19

a stack of cuts,

38:22

and the guy lays down on the top, cut, he

38:24

makes them all impure. Gotta schlep them

38:26

all to the mic. There's

38:32

been lawsuits about this, verse 8. What

38:34

if the Zob, the guy who has

38:37

the abnormal discharge, spits at someone who

38:39

is pure? So

38:42

does the spittle make him impure?

38:46

There have been cases where people with

38:48

various infectious diseases have spit upon others.

38:50

I don't want to mention any names

38:52

because it's not politically correct. Bechiebes

38:56

begoda, he has to wash his garments, v

38:58

'rachas bamaim, and bathe himself in water, v

39:00

'tameh ada 'arav, and he's impure until evening.

39:03

Ch 'yarek hazav bataar, b 'nagav bayas

39:05

nos, ay nasayi, touch that are carried

39:07

it. Sharek metabav ma 'asa. The answer

39:09

is that spit, spit, causes someone to

39:11

become impure by the virtue of the

39:13

fact that they carry it. So

39:16

if they're walking with it, it's a problem. Naim

39:19

v 'chal amerka v 'ashirka v 'zazav,

39:21

and any saddle that the Zov should

39:23

ride on, Yitma becomes impure, so the

39:26

whole saddle is impure, it becomes a

39:28

blazing saddle. I

39:30

don't know. Even

39:33

though he didn't sit on

39:35

it, she'll sound like an

39:37

attachment of a saddle. Because

39:41

of the saddle impurity.

39:44

Which is called

39:46

Alves. Ten.

39:54

Anybody that touches anything under it

39:56

becomes impure by an asus. I

39:58

mean carries them. You have to

40:00

wash this clothing. It becomes impure

40:02

until evening. That

40:10

anyone who touches it becomes impure, vain, torn, keepers of God,

40:12

but he doesn't have to watch his clothing. So

40:16

in disrespect, sitting is more

40:19

stringent than a saddle. This

40:21

is all with regard to

40:23

someone who has this abnormal

40:26

discharge. If a

40:29

person carries them,

40:31

They make a

40:33

person severely impure

40:35

the time they

40:38

begotten where his

40:40

garments are also

40:42

impure. 11,

40:45

Bechelashi Yugebe 'azov, anything touched by the

40:47

Zov, the Yodobleshot of Bama 'im, and

40:49

he did not rinse his hands in

40:52

water, which Rashi will

40:54

explain is an illusion for immersion

40:56

in a mikvah. Bechibis Bechelavi

40:58

washes his garments with Rachas Bama 'im and

41:00

bathes in water, but Tomei Adorabin becomes impure

41:03

until evening when these stars come out, he

41:05

becomes pure. After mikvah, the

41:07

other was shot to my mind, but actually, he

41:09

told me to mosey, meaning, as long as he

41:12

did not immerse from his impurity, but Philip Possek

41:14

was able, even though he stopped his discharge with

41:16

Sopah Shiva, we learned that he has to count

41:18

seven pure days, because this is serious stuff. On

41:21

the choset, really, he didn't use a mikvah yet, but

41:23

Tama b 'chaltu mesev, he still makes things impure. Because

41:26

that's where it's at cost of Phil's Gophish al -Zab, B

41:28

'losh al -Shtibb al -Shaddim. Why are we talking about immersing

41:30

a body in a mikvah with the expression of washing hands?

41:33

Why don't you say immerse in the

41:35

mikvah? I'm going to teach you that

41:37

in general when somebody immerses in the

41:40

mikvah, the hidden parts of the body

41:42

do not require the water to come

41:44

into them. Someone does not have to

41:47

go into the mikvah and open their

41:49

mouth wide. Elah

41:52

Eber HaGoli came to your dime,

41:54

only revealed limbs like hands. Therefore,

41:58

one does not have to necessarily

42:00

open one's eyes and opens one

42:02

mouth. It has to be able

42:04

to enter, but one does not

42:06

have to actually have the water

42:08

enter. That's why the word is

42:11

used. That's

42:13

a lesson which Rashi shares with us

42:15

from the Siphram. 12.

42:17

Uklikheres and earthenware vessels, which the

42:19

Zov should touch. Remember, we learned

42:22

earthenware vessels could never become purified.

42:24

Y'shaver, they should be broken. The

42:26

whole cliates and every wooden vessel you shot

42:28

to the vamaim, can be rinsed in water,

42:31

immersing them in amigva. Uklikheres,

42:34

the Uklikheres, the Uklikheres,

42:37

the Uklikheres, the Uklikheres, the

42:39

the Uklikheres, Uklikheres, the the

42:41

the the the the Uklikheres,

42:43

Thirteen. Now this

42:46

serious male discharge,

42:49

when he becomes pure, it's not

42:51

a simple process. He

42:54

has to count seven pure

42:56

days. He has

42:59

to wash his garments,

43:02

then he becomes

43:05

pure. Thirteen

43:08

means when he stops. the

43:10

flow. He has to

43:13

have seven pure days without

43:15

discharge. They have to be

43:17

seven consecutive days. You

43:19

can't say, oh, but a past year, I had seven days. That

43:22

can ruin your whole day. So

43:25

there is the purification ritual.

43:28

Are you ready? This

43:31

is the magic number eight,

43:33

the otherworldly godly number eight.

43:39

Older pigeons, senior citizen pigeons, AARP

43:42

pigeons, A'Shnebineyayna are young

43:45

pigeons, pediatric pigeons. Ovalifne

43:48

Akhaini comes before geriatric or pediatric.

43:51

He comes before the koan, al -Pasakhayal

43:53

meyit. When the son of Akhaini presents

43:55

the koan, the pigeons, he says, Mr.

43:57

Koan, here are my pigeons. 15.

44:04

And the Cohen will prepare

44:06

them, one as a sin

44:08

offering, the other one as

44:10

a burnt offering. And the Cohen

44:12

will make atonement for him

44:14

before Hashem be saved from his

44:16

state of issue. End

44:20

of today's Qumish portion.

44:22

If you want to

44:24

know about the normal male flow

44:26

and the normal and abnormal female

44:28

flow, tune to tomorrow's portion.
