Parshas Tzav: What’s More Dangerous Than Climbing Annapurna Solo?

This is a really tough podcast to record.

It's Thursday.

It's March 26th.

It's the month of Nissan.

Paceoff is around the corner.

And today was supposed to be a good day.

Today was supposed to be a bright sunny day.

My brother was going to drive in from Pasek.

We were going to meet at the forage pond golf course.

I had two showings today.

Exciting showings.

One was going to be a big multi-family deal.

With a really honest heirloch a guy.

Who has the financial backing to make a big splash.

I sent the deal to him.

And we were going to go see it.

It was in East Orange, New Jersey.

Another deal.

With a righteous and really hardworking and honest Jew.

Two buildings in Asbury Park.

If there was any time left in the day, I wanted to take the kids to the park.

But it wasn't that good day today.

It was a really hard day.

Because one of the deals that I had been working on for the last 15 days.

I was excited about it.

It was going to be my first big payday.

Somebody told me they wanted help.

They offered me the opportunity to sell a building.

To find a buyer and I went out and found a buyer.

Ready, willing and able.

I showed him the building.

We processed the numbers.

I negotiated back and forth.

And I brought a $2.7 million offer.

But the seller said.

When I told you that you can.

Earn 1.5% commission.

I only meant if you were to bring a full price offer.

A 2.8 million.

So I can't pay you the commission.

There was some back and forth and some chatter.

But cutting straight to the chase.

Whether or not the deal goes through or not.

I have no idea.

I'm not involved anymore.

It was just taking up.

Brain waves and brain space and brain cells.

And I can't give those up.

I only don't really have that many of them.

So I moved on.

But the big payday can crashing down because.

Just some unethical unfair, uncool.

Kind of shallow.

And petty actions from.

Someone that I actually thought was kind of sweet and cool.

But that wasn't the worst part of the day.

Because I've clarity about that.

I've moved on.

I'm ready to do the next deal.

If I'm supposed to make the money, I'll make it elsewhere.

But in all my complaining about the financial loss of today.

And the fact.

I didn't work out for me.

One of the most well-respected people in my life.

One of the most humble and gifted people in my life.

Wasn't feeling well and got horrible news.

Of a treacherous, evil and sinister illness.

It shook me.

My brother was the one who called to tell me about it.

I couldn't even breathe when I heard it.

It was one of those types of pieces of news that.

You can remember where you were when you heard it.

It was that bad hearing about this diagnosis.

Which is a matter of.

Life.

Or the lack thereof.

Really puts my.

Forty grand lost into perspective.

But that was my day.

There was no parks.

Closings.

Showings.

Smiles.

The volumes.

But the podcast must go on.

To these couple minutes that we have together.

And hopefully you enjoy them.

Gain from them.

But either way I know I do.

The podcast is therapeutic for me.

It's a time that we get to come together.

Headphones on.

Microphone on.

Notes and sources open.

And it's peaceful and we get to just learn Torah.

We get to do something that we know brings.

Happiness to Hashem as it were.

And so I'd actually like to.

Give a podcast over something that I'm very passionate about.

A new you site something that I saw in a new light this year.

That actually.

Connects very much to the financial loss of today.

And I'd also like to dedicate the Torah.

That we're about to learn.

To a full and speedy recovery.

For this incredible figure in my life.

I don't know if it's public information.

So I don't want to share the name or who.

Hashem knows who he is and Hashem knows that we need him.

And he should have a full refusional aim on the Torah that we learn.

Should be as a plus for his total healthy recovery.

Without any.

Side effects.

God.

We're going into the pace of season.

Be sure to hear the drush off from your rub this week.

Emparsha Sav.

Tots.

But a lot of the carbonos, the sacrifices, the offerings,

the aeronic priesthood rituals.

And I'd like to pull out one.

Set of psukum, hit a rashi, hit a maharal, hit a ruby rochum, hit a ramchal.

And then.

rant about it.

We get a mitzvah.

Hashem talking to Moshe, take our own as bon of ito, as I begot him, take our own.

Take his sons, take his clothes, take the oil, the anointment oil and take the

bull of the parachat of the.

Pergation bull.

That's those.

Take all of these.

Items.

Hakele, pezach oil my aid and assemble the whole community at the tent of meeting.

Vajas, Moshe, casher, cibo, Hashem.

Oy, soy, vatico, elo, edel, pezach oil my aid.

The commandment here is for Moshe to take the steps and anoint our own and his

children as the Kohanim.

If the inauguration ceremony, the ready set go of the Mishkan.

Take our own.

The Pusik says, take him and his kids and let's get the show on the road in explaining this

Pusik.

Of let's get the show on the road.

Kakas, arm as bon of ito, pezach oil my aid.

Hashem says, three different things.

We're going to quickly touch the first one or kind of lightly touch the first one.

More firmly.

Discuss the second one and then indebtly rant about the third one.

The first rashi says, Kakas, arm.

Okobatura.

Well, rashi seems to be bothered by why there's this reiteration of the commandment.

It seems out of line.

We're talking here about the anointing and the final instructions and commandments of the Mishkan.

This should have been earlier.

We've kind of moved into the actual carbonos.

Last week was about the carbonos seabor and the carbonos yofid.

And here we're going back to the inauguration ceremony.

Rashi says, you should know that there's no issue here because the transposition of this kind is quite customary in the Torah.

There isn't any chronological earlier or later in the Torah.

Ok, that's rashi number one.

So we have this and there's not chronologically correct and that's ok.

The puzzle continues that most should take our own.

Take him.

Kakas our own.

Rashi says three words.

What's rashi bothered by?

Take him and draw him.

Rashi explaining what the word Kakas is.

Kakas means to take.

The Maharal, the Guru Arya, explains a powerful lesson here in what Rashi is addressing.

Says the Maharal.

Rashi is bothered by how could Mosha take a person?

You can't take people.

That person isn't entering into your jurisdiction.

You're not in control of people.

Do you have a holy spirit?

Shalom.

Each person has free will.

Although Ahjahu, who has a holy spirit, Shalom.

The Shah-i Ghibelik.

After he's not going to go on anyone else's whims but rather his own freedom.

So how can you take a person?

Says Rashi.

Kakhanu Bidd Senior Im.

The way that you could take a person.

Rashi explains you.

She's explained to you the way that it's possible to fulfill the commandment of take him

is to host you look at his DAS or it's so no.

Try to convince him, encourage him, try to grab at his brain and try to grab at his

wills, who can heal who died, they'll be your shoe so to make it as if he's kind of acting

with your knowledge.

That's one you saw what I just wanted to touch on because it's important that we see

this Rashi that it reminds us that you can never be taken.

You're always in your own free will.

You can be motivated or subjugated, but never taken.

If you do want to see the other side of Rashi, you'll see a lesson in how to motivate

people.

How to KERU as our own is KERU, you know, speak to his heart, try to motivate.

That was the application and that's your sword number one.

And now on to what I really wanted to talk about.

This third Rashi, Rashi says the following.

You'll find it in Rashi, Dibura, Amasako, Vespara, Hachatos.

Take this atonement, Cal.

Aloha, Amurim, Beinian, Savos, Hamiluim, Beva, Atotetsava.

This commandment, these commandments were all stated in an earlier part of the Atotetsava.

Rashi seems to be bothered.

Why are we getting a commandment to do something that's already been told?

See, this is a different question than the first question Rashi had.

The first point we made is about the chronological order and we answered that that's not a problem.

Now we're dealing with why is there a reiteration of a commandment?

It's already been given, says Rashi.

And now, Biyom Rishonlamiluim, when it is the first day of the installation ceremony,

Khazar, Vizerozo, Bishasmeisa, Hashayim, Hashem came back to be Mazaris, to extort.

Sorry, extort, not extort, extort, to motivate, to encourage, to be Mazaris.

To encourage, one, to act with alacrity, Hashem wanted to do it at the time that it's actually happening.

A very powerful question and answer.

Don't you think?

The question is why is there a reiterated set of commandments of the Torah?

And the answer is because Hashem felt the need that now the time has come to motivate and encourage and command again.

Yeruchin points out there's something incredible and subtle here

that even though it's already been stated in the Ata Titsava of this commandment,

both of these commandments, both of these alacrities, these zerizoses of Hashem, they're really one.

It's all one.

But however, there's the first commandment, which was the alacrity before the action.

And now that it's Ashav Bishas Hamiso, now that it's actually coming to the time itself,

it's necessary to command once more.

Yeruchin explains from before the time of action, until the time of action that is already a

completely different matter and a completely different zerizose type of alacrity and encouragement is

required. Just think about this for a second.

What does all this say? That Hashem felt a need to encourage and to motivate and to ask more

zerizose of from Moshe Rabbain of the Holiest Jew. When it's now time to follow through in

front of all of the Jews about the consecrating and inaugurating ceremony of the Mishkan.

If there's ever a time that we don't need to have another warning, another zerizose,

another call to action, it's in this very moment between Hashem and Moshe.

I mean, it doesn't get better than Moshe.

Picture what's being commanded here, folks.

But the Chiddish, and as we say, Voshtate Da, which is Yiddish for what do all these words

teach? What does it say here? That when it comes to enthusiasm,

that when it comes to zerizose, that when it comes to the passion in pursuit,

there is alacrity before, and there's also, it's required to have a warning and a big, big push

forward of alacrity once it's actually time to get it done. From how flushes, flushes this concept out.

There's a concept famous in Moshe. Chapter 7 of the peerless

Moshe Safer, the book that is the crem de la crem of all Torah and Moshe.

From Chal, Chapter 7, not an extra word in the first 11 chapters.

Listen to how Ramchal explains the concept of zerizose that maybe we've heard before,

but we haven't heard it like this in this concept, context.

But they are chalkeaz zerizose. Let me tell you what zerizose is about. Chalkeaz zerizose

schnaiam. When it comes to you acting with enthusiasm and alacrity in your avodus Hashem,

which should be at the forefront of your mind, it is two parts, exactly like it has in our parasha.

Echad Kodem Hamaysa, the Echad Akhrikane. One type of alacrity is before you do,

and the other type of alacrity is after the action is now called upon to begin.

Kodem Aschal Asamaysa. Let's discuss this. Let's understand this clearly.

Kodem Aschal Asamaysa, who shall o'yachmetsa Adam as hamidsa. There's something in zerizose,

which is really where we're all up to, hopefully, in our climb towards Hashem.

The Miseel Susharim is a ladder of how to get to the level of a prophet, honestly,

and step one is figuring out your job in life and kind of understanding what's asked of you.

And then step two is zerizose, which is just not becoming someone that just goes with the flow,

but instead turns their brain on and wants to think for themselves and become better.

And if you're listening to a Torah podcast, you're kind of at that level.

You're trying to get better and think and learn and be encouraged.

And so we're kind of all in zerizose, but trying to move on to zerizose.

And zerizose is hard because we're naturally lazy.

So it's important that we know all of this crystal clearly before when the Misee comes,

we're warned.

Don't let it become hummates.

As soon as the time comes to do a Mitzvah or when it brews up in your head,

you have a new thought to do something.

You have so-so-so, you run forward and grab it.

The low come between here and there.

Listen to these words.

Listen to these words.

There's zerizose needed before your action is so crucial that you don't let something distract you,

that you don't become lazy and just sleep in.

Because if you don't act immediately,

aine sakana kesakana-so.

There is no impediment.

There is no danger.

There is no danger like the danger of delaying

to do a Mitzvah.

Every second that comes up,

this is the first part of zerizose.

Every single time that you get an opportunity to do a Mitzvah or you have a thought to do a Mitzvah

and then you decide, hold on one second, maybe I shouldn't do it?

You kind of are in limbo.

Should I jump at this opportunity?

Each second of that is the most dangerous situation in the world.

Is it in that what the word's translate does?

Don't let it become comed.

There is no danger like it.

I want it to look up.

What's the most dangerous thing so we could figure out what's now even more dangerous than that because he ain't Saqqana Qasakana so the most dangerous thing agreed upon by most danger

interested enthusiasts is solo mountaineering up the most dangerous mountain of mountain and a corner, which is some sort of mounted in the Himalayas.

That has a one in three death rate when you try to climb it and you end up getting into this death zone of no air and you become stranded and then you lose consciousness or base jumping is another dangerous activity with these wings suit where you're flying down a mountain without any parachute those are all the most deathly hallowed sports and activities but even more dangerous than both of those activities.

More dangerous than climbing on a perna or ever you say it even more dangerous than that is that when you have an opportunity or a thought to go and do a mitzvah to go diving to go put filling on to say creation about to do that said to learn Torah but then you don't act upon it but instead you just sit there and ruminate and Saqqana Qasakana also there's nothing more dangerous why it makes sense you don't know what's going on in the world.

You need the one two three four five six seven proofs about this part of the reasons that I'm how it brings you know it because you know you came into this world to stay focused and to get on to doing mitzvahs which is what God wants you to do and you know that the one thing that's going to stop you from doing mitzvahs because when you don't act immediately and you just sit there because of course something's going to come up and get in the way of course the it's a heart will get involved of course life will get involved of course.

So the time of letting the mitzvah become hummates is so frightening it's one of the proofs is important we're just going to skim right through them so we can get on to the thing I want to focus on about the second Helict of Zeriza special samisah but those reasons before the mice of the first proof is from.

Geekon and the coronation of Shlomo that things get in the way the second proof is about to smart them as a matzvos

Ghazal tell you mitzvah aboli yodh ghatach mitzana Ghazal in one place talk about how things get in the way of King Shlomo is anointing in Geekon and that means there's going to be things that are in the way and the second proof is about you should treat.

Watch mitzvos like matzvah don't let it become hummates Ghazal tell you over and over the oil and yaktim all the more divided mitzvah you should always do a mitzvah first Shlomo

Shlomo is a godma bearer let's eera zach so that godma arba diars is a remarkable raya or remarkable proof that you should study in depth but low was in the cave with his daughters and one of the daughters acted before the other one and because of that Zeriza she's rewarded in some aspect.

I mean think about the proof that rumkhaz bringing from Ghazal that the idea of Zeriza is so important that from incest from father daughter cohabitation for Zeriza for that someone's rewarded that's how powerful rumkhaz raya is.

right number five is about looilum machtim limitsvos do them as soon as they come into your hands looilum yards other mitzvah you should run to do a mitzvah even on shabis you can imagine a rabbi and a shabis closed if there's a mitzvah opportunity then you lace up those shabis galashis those shabis boots and get going.

there's another raya huyana haganu almus means someone who's a youth you shak with youthfulness and that's all just for the first heilek of Zeriza's and this i want to keep in context is what we're elaborating on because of this concept that we're seeing that has shem told Mosha wants to be mazara is him to do the mishkan inauguration service well and then and then

after that we're moving on now to the second part which is actually happening a part of shabis where there's a new commandment to actually inaugurate our own and his sons and all of it right now and that's a news resource and now i want to talk about the news resource that we need to have we need to have both of these aspects of Zeriza's let's move into rumkhaz now second aspect of Zeriza's and how we should approach our life and avoid us Hashem and this leads us to the second part of Zeriza's

which is ahr hashalas hameysa after you have begun to perform the mitsva keep your maheri lahashlamosa you now need to act with a lakriti to close the mitsva to close the deal and the little hukil may all of khmishim is ava lahashlah may alav masoi and not to close the deal and to finish the mitsva

in a way that is a poor mindset where you're just trying to get over with it can we just get through this doveting so I can get back to watching the game

therefore you hurry through doveting that's not alakriti that's not zealousness

lmuroso you're acting with haste because there's a fear penalty is galigmurosa maybe you will not merit to complete it

this is a meira de gehradesh something new in novel there's a news resource that starts that's coming up only after you started to take the initiative

you need there's a resource to close the deal and there's a resource in a mindset

because you're afraid what's going to be oh my goodness if I don't close this deal

I'm not going to get paid and all of the work could we say this much but perhaps all of the work that you've done

all of the speed to get to the mitsva may be for not if you don't close it

lmuroso the second part of the series is also brings with it seven raias from ramchau

the first one kola maschub in mitsva in wo gomerosa anyone who begins a mitsva and then doesn't

close the deal koe ver ishto bun of he buries his loved ones

a frightening medrish words of khazal that are very deep when you start a mitsva and don't complete it

it's like you dated the kind young lady courted her let her on and then ditched her

that's what it's like when you start a mitsva and then don't finish it

of course you don't pull through you have no legacy you have no eternal accomplishment

so you end up not having some in your own marriage and children

and on mitsva nikreys el al shim gomer it's only called the hofheimer hall

because hofheimer completed it he was the one who put his name on it to get the building done

only a mitsva is called after who put the nail in the coffin

va ma shlomo amelach ala wa shlomo

khazisa ish moir be malach to you see a man who's quick with his work

leth name alochem yasyaat say he's going to sit with kings

kola yasyaat say lefne chasuchem sorry bal yasyaat say lefne chasuchem

he's acting with speed with a lacquer to he's not going to stand before lowly men

here's a real one that really connects with us

al shimi or this praise about shlomo amelach al shimi or be malach has been in a bias

al shimo amelach acted with speed and with zealousness

and he wasn't lazy when building the base amigdosh

he wasn't lazy after he already began it he got the job done

he got the building up they gained our shoe al moisha ala wa shalom

al shimi or be malach as i'm ishtun

be malach as i'm ishtun from khal actually quotes our topic here as one of the

moisha bay news zealousness most of our moisha bay news alacrity

and that he completed the mishko and he built it he's now inaugurating it

that's laud it that's praised

rivka's alacritusness is noted

she emptied her picture into the trough with speed

we learned about shimshon with speed

fatira and you should know

all the moisture to light and i'll show bavota's bore

a person's heart when it's on fire

if you're really alive

vada shlo yisatsu basi asmitsus

here's where you need to pay attention

for sure a person who's alive with a love of asham

is not going to be lazy

alatiyah if you really love asham

and you're really alive and with a soul of flame and the service of your creator

alatiyah to new also ketsuahsha malhira

you should be like a quick moving fire

how fast does fire move?

fire that's detonating

move is more than 1,000 meters per second

you should be faster than that

kiloya new avalo yisko you will not find peace

and you will not rest until the task is completed

that's the type of zealousness

that's the type of eagerness

that's the type of earnestness

that's the reason that mocha had

and that's the type that has shem

encouraged mocha should have

in the second

calling

of the inaugurating

impasha saav

there's the second helic of zirizus

that rashi is talking about

and now what's left for us

is the question

of how do we get zirizus

how do we improve our zirizus

i want to do it i want to sign on the dotted line

i want to heed the call

from chal answers it

the omnum is ponet oce comosha has zirizus

who to let us us let us a premium

the fire inside is how you should

drive your actions

came in as zirizus

you avoid his let us

so to your zirizus

it will give birth

to a soul of flame

because says from chal

heart

think drah

will grow and then

yes

will grow

and it will grow

but they are but beleyz

mais vulgar

you're gonna put out your inner fire

you hear this u site people

you hear this u site

that you act the heart that you need

and you're required to have in your service of Hashem

that should be a lit on fire?

That's what's really wanted, Rumkha says.

Shahaneer Sayyoseba, Votus Aburus Brahma,

Hashem really wants the faith

is to leave the Chukha, Chukha, Chukha.

I never says, Hashem wants your heart.

But if your heart's not alive,

then you're not gonna act with Jesus.

So how do you get to your heart to get to Jesus?

He says, Aitsa Tova, I have your advice.

He knows, you should have a forcing of yourself

to act with a Lackity, Kiddikha.

You force yourself to act with a Lackity

and with speed a couple times.

Yeah, outward action, the Orerus Hapnimius.

You can stoke the coals inside

by merely forcing yourself to act with a Lackity.

It's easier to fix the outside

than it is to fix the inside.

Do what you can do.

And we'll start your heart.

You hear this Aitsa Tova?

You can buy into the what Hashem wants of you.

You can act like Mosheir Abenu

and he'd call of the,

there's a reason, Kodama, I said, I don't know, I said.

You just need to force yourself

to have some intensity and some forcefulness

and your speed in your Votus Hashem for a little bit.

It gets easier.

The Hitsonius, your outward action

that is under your jurisdiction will fix your heart.

Force yourself to wake up early and on time

for doveting and it will light your fire

a flame with all his love us and a love of Hashem.

It's for a different conversation

how incredible this concept is.

That the outward actions affect your insides.

Just think about that for a second

that you could fix the carburetor

inside of your car, fix the brakes

or fix the engine,

which isn't working inside just by driving it,

forcing the car to move in neutral, pushing it

and eventually that makes the engine go on

and fixes the carburetor that's a remarkable concept.

The human body, the Huchma that we have here,

you need to be on top of your actions

because that's what inspires your heart.

But that's the Swiss podcast.

That we need Zerizus

and there are two types of Zerizus.

There's the Zerizus

to not delay in going after the Mitzvah.

And then there's the Zerizus

when the Mitzvah comes in completing it.

And Hashem goes out of his way in the Torah

to repeat Kachis Aaron and Parshas Tsaab

just to encourage Moshe for the Zerizus Ahar.

After he's already begun the Mitzvah.

This is the Zerizus Pashasah Mitzvah.

That's what's coming up here.

You can imagine it in like competitive sports

where the coach gives a pre-game speech

or the speech at the beginning of the season.

And as it gets closer to the actual objective in the game,

it's now time to close the game.

It's the half time speech in the championship.

That's another type of speech.

That's what's happening here.

This is the Swiss podcast.

That we need constant encouragement,

constant pressure we should be putting on ourselves to

force ourselves at a bed,

to chase down the Mitzvahs,

to inspire ourselves and learn Moshe

to be mahasic ourselves and strengthen ourselves

in our Zerizus to not let one second come in between you

in the Mitzvah because there's no possible,

more dangerously, dangerous situation,

even climbing an opponent mountain is less dangerous

than delaying to do a Mitzvah.

And then there's the second part that you need to close the deal.

You need to get the job done.

And that also takes Zerizus.

And if that is what needs to be said in the Torah

in Parshatsav again,

that Moshe should take his brother

and now begin the ceremony.

And this is called the Zerizus Pashasamitsvah.

It needs a new call to action,

a new set of Zerizus.

That's what Hashem needs to call upon Moshe to have.

How much more so?

That we need to be mahasic ourselves,

strengthen ourselves before a Mitzvah,

at the time of a Mitzvah, during the Mitzvah,

to close the deal.

To actually get the job done

and satisfactorily complete,

all that is asked us, the job is...

Kill on my e-v, kill on my e-v.

Kill on the boy and kill on Kedashim.

Drinai Drinai, kill on my e-v.

Kill on my e-v.

Kill on the boy and kill on Kedashim.

Kill on my e-v, kill on my e-v.

Kill on Gipanyurim, kill on Kedashim.

Kill on my e-v, kill on my e-v.

Kill on Gipanyurim, kill on Kedashim.

Drink, drink, drink, drink on all skin,

Kill on my e-vision, drink, drink, drink On all skin, go on.

Kill on my e-v, kill on my e-v.

Here I live in

Live in the mist like a light

I'm not a smug, I'm not a smug
