hi this is damsky welcome to the par in five we're in five minutes we try to give you an insight into the par par B par I want to share an idea that I heard from R kushki many years ago on par B it's AAL right at the beginning it says b as B Israel when parro sent B Israel out parro had a say in the matter at this point it's an amazing thing B Israel would not leave until parro gave them permission to leave now you're not going to stop me right I I can do whatever I want look at how I have devastated your country now we spoke about bur back and pases when the bur came down and destroyed almost all of their grain they looked at starvation in the face but they said okay we still have some food left the crushed grain there's some grain that wasn't destroyed he says no problem he sends in the aret to eat everything up now there's no food to be had you know there were the country was devastated it was just absolutely terrible pyro says go go they waited till pyro went and not only that in all of his dealings you see that MO always treated parro with respect as Eli treated aab with respect even though a had brought in all of the aod zor and elah who brought a famine for three years just to get the people to listen and finally he proves that Hashem is right and he says now it's going to rain and he runs in front of ahab's horse in order to show him cavod we always show cavod even to people who don't deserve it yeah there's a concept concept of being able to speak with K so what what does theal say on this it says without is to teach us that a a Torah scholar who doesn't have any MOS doesn't act nicely a dead carcass is better than him so koseski explained why is that and he said because you know we have different states of matter in English when you play 20 Questions the first one you know they usually saying animal mineral or vegetable we say it differently in Hebrew we have Dom which is mineral SOA which is vegetable things that grow we have K those are animals and we have Adam a person we don't put them in the same category of animals above that is a Jew and above that is a and as you move up in the levels so the T the uncleanliness that is created when they die go along with it so when a rock dies there's no T it's a very low form of life yeah you think of life it could be that they have some level of Consciousness as you see the Rocks were all arguing who by Yakov who he should put his head on whether that's meant to be taken literally or not but okay you could say there's some um some concept so it's not it's not t but if you make it into a clear it can be T at least all right um when an animal dies that's the first level of serious Tuma that's a AA and when a non-jew dies there's a higher level of Tuma when a Jew dies Tas M it's a higher level a who's higher than that when he dies by having no MOS then a AA is better than him because a Nila doesn't have as much t as he does a person no matter how great they are is not is not a nice person person Dave Barry a humorist out of the Miami Herald he wrote a book Dave Barry turns 50 and he had one of the Articles was 25 things I learned in 50 years and one of them is someone who's nice to you and not nice to the waitress is not a nice person fora Feinstein at the end of the short dinner with all of the donors would go into the kitchen and thank all of the kitchen staff personally for making such a beautiful dinner and doing such a good job you have to be a person with d erit with MOS and to care about every person if you're not a mench we didn't leave Egypt because we devastated them and said go ahead try to stop me we waited till parro gave us permission B shal parro good chabas
