Netillat Yadayim by Rabbi Shlomo Farhi

today I want to talk to you about something that I believe is an absolute fantastic investment everybody wants to invest a little and get a lot no one wants to invest a lot and get a little well I have one such example of that for you today the zor tells us that there's one tiny thing that a person could do that will absolutely change everything that they do that day and the zor is talking about of course when a person wakes up in the morning the Zar explains all throughout the night when his Nish leaves he's completely flooded with a spirit of tum of impurity when the Nish comes back into him the tum the impurity runs away but there's one place that does not run away from right here when you wash your hands you rid yourself of that Tuma completely in fact the Zar says that the minute a person washes their hands it purifies the whole of the person's body he washes his hands nikra kados he's called holy Nik he says elsewhere he's called Pure what a wild concept a tiny investment to be able to be called holy to be able to be pure but not only that R shamon Rafal H gives the most beautiful explanation he says that just as a kohen washes his hands and his feet before he begins the aoda when a Jew Coen leev or Isel washes their hands what are they doing they're taking the prayers that they say afterwards and turning those prayers from a conversation that you are having in the betet to a conversation with god just like they used to wash their hands before they would present themselves to the king a person who does elevates his prayers in fact har writes in that one of the things that stops your prayers from being answered from being heard on high is the fact that you didn't wash your hands such a tiny thing with such dramatic results you're about to go into your day hopefully you'll do wonderful things in your day whether you studying Torah whether you're doing mitv whether you were going to work but in every one of those areas the is supersizing the entire experience [Music]
