Rabbi Yuhanan Parshat - Aharei Mot Kedoshim

today we are learning part shot we have a double Torah portion we are using Ark survumash please open to page 636. continues what happened in previous partial and that is the construction of betamic Dash and the inauguration and the unfortunate story that aharons two sons nadav and avihu died and now there are only three kohanim left in the entire world aharon nadav and avihu and starts with the service of Yom Kippur the service that only kohen gadol can perform page 637 Hashem spoke to Moshe after the death of aharon aharon's two sons and Hashem said to Moshe speak to Aaron the rules of Yom Kippur service he shall not come at all times into the sanctuary Sanctuary means the holy place that is the heihal and the kodasha kudashim within the curtain which means the innermost sanctum the kodesha kudashim in front of the cover that is upon the ark remember the the golden Ark and the golden cover on top of it and the the cherubs the angel like uh golden figures on top of the Arona kodesh and they are in kodashakodashim within the curtain which is called the parochet so Hashem says cannot go in there any time he wants so that he should not die because if he does go there on any other day besides Yom Kippur and even on Yom Kippur only if he is doing the service he will die as it says for in a cloud will I appear upon the ark cover only during Yom Kippur Yom Kippur end with a pen with coals and a ball of incense he can come in he will spread the call he would put the coals in front of The Ark on the floor and then he will sprinkle the ketoret on top of the coals and that will produce the cloud for in a cloud I will appear upon the cover with and verse 3 clarifies with this shall Aaron come into the sanctuary with which means in addition to ketoret brought in kodasha kudashim what else is brought on Yom Kippur a young bull for the sin offering and a ram ram as is a male adult sheep for an elevation offering these are not done in codasha Kardashian only kitored incense is done in Kurdish kudashim the bull and the the ram are done outside verse 4 says that this day is special also in the clothing that Kohan gadol wears it is not the regular eight garments beautiful eight garments of coin gadol but rather verse 4 says he shall put on a sacred linen tunic a linen robe and linen pants shall be upon his flesh now we turn to page 639 and he shall gird himself with a linen belt and he should cover his head with a linen turban a linen hat had four garments and all of them were made from linen as opposed to on a regular day there were eight garments and they were made from mixtures of various kinds of beautiful wool and linen and gold on Yom Kippur there was no gold no wool only linen and only four garments why there was no um gold because gold would remind Hashem about the golden calf because remember Hashem forgave us for the sin of the golden calf on Yom Kippur and that is the day we received the second tablets so it would not be right on the day of forgiveness Yom Kippur itself to remind Hashem about our greatest sin and therefore kohen does not wear anything with gold no golden head played no beautiful golden settings with precious stones on the shoulders and no precious stones on his uh hosh and mishpat on Yom Kippur and not only that he doesn't wear any colorful wool just white linen and that causes him to become humble beautiful colorful garments May make him uh hottie and on Yom Kippur we have to imagine that nothing Earthly exists we are like angels and also he wears white to remind him of the Grave when a person dies they wrap him in white uh shrouds and that is why some have custom on Yom Kippur to wear white white talit white some people wear What's called kittel a white um robe or a light color suit again to remind us that we have to purify ourselves that we are like angels and at the same time to remind us of the grave now we continue additionally verse 5 says he shall take two male goats foreign offering for the Jewish people and one ram for an Ola elevation offering first Aaron brings his own sin bull offering the bull of hattad to provide atonement for himself and for his household before Aron or kohen gadol asks for forgiveness for the Jewish people he has to first ask forgiveness for himself and for his household now verse 7 explains the service done with the two goats he shall take the two male goats and stand them before Hashem at the entrance of the tent of meeting our own shall Place Lots upon the Two Goats he puts two lots in a container she puts his hand in grabs one of them in his right hand and one of them in his left hand and he opens it up and he lets everyone see the one in the right will say for Hashem that's what usually happened the miracle happened that every year the one on the right was for Hashem and the one on the left said for azazil as it says one lot for Hashem and one lad for Azazel now what's this Jam I will understand we bring offerings to Hashem but why second one for Azazel so some explain that Azazel is another name or a reference for the prosecutor the Satan we sort of bribe him we send him an offering to close his mouth that he should not prosecute us he had on Yom Kippur they should be only defense attorneys no prosecutors and what do we do the the goat that is designated for Hashem we bring as a hatat as a sin offering and verse 10 says and the Goat designated by lot for Azazel shall stand alive before Hashem for later to provide atonement through it to send it to Azazel to the wilderness later that goat will be sent to the Wilderness and thrown down the cliff and with it symbolically we throw away all our sins verse 11. with the the other goat for Hashem aharon will provide atonement for himself and for the kohanim so first our own provides atonement for himself and his household so with his bull the the the bull for hattat then he brings a goat for hattat as well to provide atonement for himself for his household and kohanim now all the quranim are also included and once aharon his children and the entire kohanim group are pure clean forgiven now he can do the rest of the Yom Kippur service to ask forgiveness for the Jewish people now we turn to page 6 41. the incense service in kodasha kodashim he shall take a shovel full of hot coals from a top of the altar and his cupped handful of finely ground incense spices and bring it within the character into the kodesha kadashim which means he is holding the shovel a pan with coals with a long handle he puts it under his armpit he has in his hands incense and he walks into the kodasha kadashim holding the pan and the spice the incense the clitored he shall place the incense upon the fire before Hashem he puts the pen on the floor and then he spreads the ketoric over the pan of coals so that the cloud of the incense shall blanket The Arc cover that is on top of the uh testimony tablets because in the ark they were the luchad the tablets with the ten commandments so that he shall not die if he performs everything correctly with proper intent with holy thoughts beforehand he will not die now the gemara says that when kohanim were righteous each one served for 20 30 40 and up to 80 years there was one Cohen who served 80 years another coin searched for four years and many Quantum that served over 30 years over 20 years which means they were so pure and righteous that they were able to enter the most dangerous place on Earth where divine presence is where one thought that is less than perfect may cause death they were able to go in and survive again and again and again up to 80 times however when kohanim were not righteous and they were put into the position of Cohen gadol because of bribery because of their money and they didn't deserve they only lasted one Yom Kippur and the camera says that in the first temple almost every kohen lasted decades 20 30 years but in the second beta mcdash majority of kohanim bribed their way to become coin gadol with the exception of a handful of kohanim that were righteous and they did last many years the rest over 300 kohanim died during the second betamic Dash because each one died soon after Yom Kippur and they had to appoint a new one until the next Yom Kippur and again he would die either on the day or soon thereafter now the the Torah continues with blood service of the bull that he she slaughtered and the Goat he takes the blood of the bull and sprinkles it with his finger upon the cover of kodoshakodashim he sprinkles one time up and seven times down then he goes and Slaughters the the goat of hattad and brings its blood and also does the same sprinkles once top and seven times down now we go to verse 18. now we we take the blood and we do a service for the golden altar that is in the kodesh the hijab he shall go go out to the altar that is before Hashem upon it he shall take some blood of the bull and some blood over the male goat and mix them and place it on the horns of the altar all around and he shall sprinkle upon it from the blood with his forefinger seven times so usually only ketoric is offered on the golden altar sometimes and Yom Kippur is one of these times blood is applied to the golden altar now we go to page 643 the male gold that is sent to Azazel to the wilderness verse aharon shall lean his two hands upon the head of the living male goat and confess upon it all the iniquities of the children of Israel and their rebellious sins and place the sins upon the head of the male goat and send it with the designated man to the wilderness and the male goat will bear upon itself all the iniquities to an uninhabited land and they will send the goat to the wilderness and once it gets to the Wilderness they throw the gold of the cliff and it dies immediately and America would happen they would tie a red string on the the goat before throwing it and another red string that would tie in the betamic dash where everyone can see and as soon as the goat would be thrown off the cliff miraculously the red thread would be turned white as snow to show that Hashem forgives the Jewish people of course that is on a condition that the the Jewish people themselves do to Shiva and repent and again most of the time during the first betamic Dash and mishkan beforehand it did happen miraculously the red string turned white however during the second betamic Dash where the statue of the Jewish people was already lower it did not happen as often until eventually they stopped doing it not to embarrass the Jewish people now verse 23 speaks about taking the ladle with coals and burning um uh incense out of kodo shakudashim because the current gadol would place it there and it would smoke and he would leave to perform the blood uh service and then sometime later he would go in to remove the pen with coals after it's done smoking Aaron shall come again to the tent of meeting and verse 24 speaks about the elevation offering he shall immerse himself in water in a sacred place and put on his garments and he shall go out and perform his elevation Ram offering and the elevation Ram offering of the people and he shall provide atonement for himself and for the people so whenever Aaron would go into the Sanctuary into the kodesh akodashim he would wear white garments as we said gold would remind Hashem about the golden calf so whenever he performed service inside he wore white garments however when he went out to perform the service outside that he performed with his regular eight Investments eight garments and whenever he would switch from white garments to the colorful garments he would go to the Mikvah and wash his hands and feet and only then put on the next set of garments and then when he finished with that he would remove it and again immerse himself again while she sends in feet and then put on the white garments and like this he did back and forth many times now verse 25 speaks about burning the sacrificial limbs the fat of the sin offering he shall cause to go up in smoke upon the altar to verse 27 and the sin offering Bull and the single offering male goat now on page 645 whose blood had been brought and sprinkled on the parochet and on the golden altar what do we do with its flesh someone shall remove it to the outside of the camp and they shall burn it in fire their skins their flesh and even their tongue now in verse 29 we have the Commandment for Yom Kippur for future Generations this shall remain for you an eternal decree in the seventh month which is kishire on the 10th of the month which is when Yom Kippur is you shall afflict yourselves and you shall not do any work not Jews that were born Jewish and not converts everyone has to keep Yom Kippur verse 30. because on this day kohen gadol shall provide atonement for you to cleanse you from all your sins before Hashem shall you be cleansed it is a Shabbat of complete rest for you and you shall fast and it is an eternal decree now we go to chapter 17. and we turn to page 647. and we we continue with other myths vote in this week's Parsha we finished with Yom Kippur Hashem said to motion to speak to the children to Aaron and his children and to the Jewish people and say to them any man from the house of Israel who will Slaughter an animal in the camp or outside the camp but he will not bring it to the mishkan or the bitamik dash it shall be considered as Bloodshed for that man he has shed blood and that man shall be cut off from the midst of his people what is this talking about this is the Commandment the negative commandment not to slaughter any offerings outside of betamic Dash and anyone who brings an offering outside off beta mcdash outside yerushalayim it is receives correct spiritual excision punishment very severe punishment so we have to be very careful when we Slaughter animals we must not have any thoughts that they are and offering some people have a custom to slaughter an animal when they buy a new house or when something unfortunate happens and they want to improve their muscle they slaughter an animal you have to be very careful not to call that animal a sacrifice not to call it a korban it's not the Quran because if it will be a Quran whoever slaughtered it would receive a correct punishment spiritual Excision now we continue verse 10. prohibition of eating blood any man whether a born Jew or a convert who dwells among them who will consume any blood I shall concentrate my attention upon the soul consuming the blood and I will cut it off from the midst of its people again anyone who eats blood receives correct spiritual excision punishment now we turn to page 649 a Mitzvah to cover the blood after we Slaughter birds or kosher wild animals Any Man of the children of Israel or the convert who dwells among them who will trap a beast a wild animal or a bird that may be eaten kosher bird he shall pour out its blood and cover it with Earth but this command does not apply to domesticated animals cows sheep and goats if we slaughter them we don't have to cover blood just spill it on the ground and we can eat them now we go to chapter 18. we learn about Commandments not to follow any customs of the non-jews Hashem spoke to Moshe saying speak to the children of Israel and say to them I am Hashem your God do not perform the practices of the land of Egypt in which you dwelled and do not perform the practices of the land of Canaan to which I bring you and do not follow their traditions rather carry out my laws and Safeguard them might decrease and follow them I am Hashem your God you shall observe my decrees and my laws which man shall carry out and by which he shall live I am Hashem from here we learn that we should only do things that it is customary for Jewish people to do we should not in any way follow Customs or fashions of the going if they have a certain style of hair clothing Behavior speech we are not allowed to copy it if they have certain holidays that they celebrate that are uniquely non-jewish we are not allowed to copy them and it finishes by saying if you perform my laws the mitzvot you will live you shall observe my decrease and my laws which men shall carry out and by which he shall live in this world and he shall live in the next world now from here until the end of the Parsha we speak about forbidden sexual relations with the exception of one mitzvah of idol worship and there are in total 23 forbidden sexual relations that are listed and I will just list the 23 number one your father number two mother number three your stepmother if your father marries a a wife other than your mother your sister your son's daughter which means your granddaughter your daughter's daughter your granddaughter why the Torah splits it in half because you might say that only your son's daughter who is a direct descendant of you is forbidden but your daughter once she marries she leaves your feminine she joins her husband's family perhaps the relationship is more distant and perhaps you can marry her daughter just like a man is allowed to marry his niece once his sister gets married she goes to a different family than her daughter becomes permitted to you you might think the same thing with your granddaughter says no even your daughter's daughter is forbidden now we turn to page 653 seventh forbidden relations is your own daughter eighth is your step your half sister if your father marries another wife and they have a daughter you have a different mother but the same father is forbidden number nine is your father's sister your aunt your father's sister is forbidden your mother's sister and again the Taurus pulls them into two separate Commandments your mother's sister is forbidden just like your father's system your father's brother and his wife which means your uncle's wife even if he divorces her majority of these cases the relations are forbidden even after divorce if your uncle used to be married to a woman and then he divorced her she's forbidden to you if your father used to be married to a woman and then he divorced her she still remains forbidden your daughter-in-law your son's wife your brother's wife and again even if they divorce them a woman and her daughter one man cannot marry a woman and a daughter or a woman and her mother which is basically the same thing a woman and her daughter even if he divorces one he cannot marry the other one so if a man marries a woman her mother and her daughter and her sister are forbidden as well as not only her daughter but also your wife's granddaughter from her son and your wife's granddaughter from her daughter which means even if they are not your son and your daughter she had them from another man but once you marry a woman her children and her grandchildren are forbidden to you then Verse 18 tells us a woman in addition to her sister which means if you marry a woman you cannot marry her sister even if you divorce your wife her sister remains forbidden The Only Exception is if the original wife dies then the system becomes permitted verse 19 a woman who is neither now here the prohibition is not for marriage but rather for relations um a woman who is still married but the relations are forbidden verse 20 a neighbor's wife which means any married woman and some of the above listed uh forbidden relations involve a married woman as well which means a man who has relations with such a woman will transgress two severe prohibitions a married woman for example and his aunt or his stepmother and and so on now in verse 22 and did an additional prohibition is homosexuality you shall not lie with a man and in verse 23 bestiality do not lie with any animal to be contaminated with it and another prohibition separate prohibition a woman shall not stand before an animal for mating so altogether 23 forbidden relations and in verse 21 we have a law about idol worship you shall not present any of your children to pass through for the idol called Molech which is a specific prohibition besides all other prohibitions for either worship this is a specific prohibition not to sacrifice your own child this was commonly practiced by all the Idol worshipers who thought that you will have special luck you will have success with your future children if you bring your firstborn child as a sacrifice and what they would do they would take the young boy they would lead him between two fires which were lit up in honor of the idol and then later they would kill the boy and burn him in the fire now we turn to page 655 the Holiness of our land verse 24 do not become contaminated through any of these for through all of these the Nations that I expelled before you became contaminated which means we have to observe all these laws of sexual Purity as well as no idol worship in order to guarantee our stay in the land of Israel and verse 28 says let not the land vomit you for having contaminated it when the Jewish people don't follow the laws of Torah on the land of Israel they will have no peace the land will kick them out verse 30 completes the partial you shall Safeguard my commands not to do any of the Abominable Traditions that were done before you and not contaminate yourselves through them I am Hashem yogan this religious mode and now we turn to page 657 to parashat kedoshima is filled to the brim with mitzvot as well as at the end of the Parsha all these sins of forbidden relations are listed again and punishments are given for each one some of them are death penalty various forms of death penalty and some of them are correct spiritual excision now the verse says you shall be holy for Holy am I Hashem your God holy means separate unique you separate yourself from the traditions of the you separate yourself from forbidden relations from idol worship and that will make you holy verse 3 the Commandment to fear your mother and father and nevertheless keep Shabbat from here we learn that if a parent commands a child to do something that goes against the Torah the child does not have to listen verse 4 do not turn to the idols prohibition of idol worship I will turn to page 659 um all offerings that we bring have to be done with proper thoughts if a kohen who does the service with our animal has improper thoughts the offering will be soon will be invalidated one such uh invalidation is called pigul when Cohen says I'm offering this uh animal with intention to eat its flesh past the deadline after the time when it's supposed to be eaten with just a thought to do something wrong the entire offering is passul that's it and it says if it shall be eaten on the third day which for slamim a peace offering is already too late can be eaten for two days and the night between but if it shall be eaten on the third day it is rejected it shall not be accepted and those who eat it will bear iniquity and they will be cut off from its people if Cohen has a wrong thought the offering is pursule if the coin doesn't have wrong thought the offering is caution but he keeps the meat for three days and then he eats it then there is correct prohibition okay now verse 9 introduces gifts to the poor that a farmer needs to give there are four gifts number one is leaving the corners of the field number two is called lekket if one or two stocks fall to the ground during Harvest you cannot pick them up you have to leave them for the poor if three or more stocks fall then the owner can pick them up number three if there are undeveloped clusters in your Vineyard grape clusters you have to leave them for the poor if it's a a whole cluster multi-layered cluster you can pick it if it's just a little Branch with one two or three little grapes without uh two floors then you have to leave it for the poor and if any grapes individual grapes fall down you cannot pick them up you have to leave them for the poor people and now we have some additional Commandments nine ways of honest dealings with others you shall not steal you shall not deny falsely if someone claims that they give you something you cannot say no no it never happened you shall not lie to one each other you shall not swear falsely by my name page 661 you shall not cheat by withholding their wages or anything that belongs to them you shall not rob as opposed to theft means you do it by force openly stealing or theft means you do it stealthily without being seen but this commandment is specifically for someone who is not afraid to be seen we call it robbery you have to pay workers on time Number Eight Is You shall not curse the death and certainly you cannot curse anyone who can hear if you curse a deaf person you get a severe sin if you curse a person who can hear you get two prohibitions number one you curse the Jew number two you hurt a Jew one who doesn't hear he doesn't get hurt but you still get a viral and number nine you shall not place a stumbling block before the blind which our sages say refers to misleading any Jew giving bad advice giving wrong information now we have four laws of Justice do not commit perversion of Justice number two do not favor the poor just because he's poor don't have pity on him in court if he is guilty says he is guilty number three do not honor the great which means if he is Rich or famous or even righteous don't treat him better in court number four with righteousness shall you judge your fellow and this refers to the judge he cannot show favoritism he cannot treat one party better than the other and it also refers to us with righteousness shall you judge your fellow whenever we see our friend doing something that to us looks suspicious we have to give them the benefit of the doubt and before judging them we have to investigate what really happened and we have to approach them and ask them it looked to me that this and this happened is that true and they will have a chance to reply and say no that's not what happened it was something good that I did it just looked negative but really it was good or they'll say oh you know what I made a mistake I thought I'm doing this and I slipped or they'll say yes I'm sorry I was too weak I couldn't hold myself but it's a one-time thing I'm not gonna do it again I'm doing tishuva so instead of judging them harshly give them a chance to explain themselves or give them a chance to apologize now we go to verse 16 that starts the seven laws of interpersonal relations you shall not gossip you shall not stand aside while your fellow's blood is shed when we see a Jew about to be hurt we cannot allow it we have to jump in and protect him you shall not hate your brother in your heart but rather you have to either forgive him or approach him and speak to him Express what is it that bothers you and give him a chance to fix him number four rebuke your friend which means if you see someone doing something wrong don't just say it's as long as it's not my child it's okay no if you see another Jew making a mistake sinning you have to find a way to approach them and respectfully gently guide them to the right path number five you shall not take revenge number six do not bear a grudge and number seven you shall love your fellow as yourself I am Hashem the famous principle now we turn to page 663 and here we have three kinds of forbidden mixtures key lime you shall not mate your animal into another species for example we cannot mate a horse and a donkey to produce a mule that is forbidden if it's already done we can use them but we cannot facilitate it number two you shall not plant your field with mixed seed okay this applies to the land of Israel the first commandment is anywhere cross mating is forbidden everywhere planting different seeds in the same field is forbidden in the land of Israel however planting two kinds of different seeds in a Vineyard is forbidden even outside of Israel and number three a garment that is mixture of combined fibers of wool and linen shall not come upon you this is the prohibition of sharpness what we call chatnes or key lime a garment with wool and linen and that is why we have to bring our garments to a special lab to check to make sure that our garments don't have a mixture of wool and linen now in verse 20 we have a special case called a designated maid servant if if a man has a female slave a non-jewish female slave who he designated for a who here designated for a man to marry and so happened that this woman had two owners and one owner freed her so she became half freed half um free that's what it says if a Man Lies carnally with a woman and she's a slave woman who has been designated for another man this is a unique case who has not been redeemed or Freedom has not been granted to her which means she's half free half still a maid servant there shall be an investigation they shall not be put to death because she had not been fully freed whereas for a Jewish woman who is engaged who is committed to another man relations with her would be punishable by Death but instead this man who had relations with a slave woman who was engaged to another man shall bring his guilt offering to Hashem a ram now in verse 23 we learn about Orla when you shall come to the land and you shall plant any food tree you shall treat its fruit as forbidden for three years in the fourth year you bring its fruit to betamic Dash and in the fifth year you can already eat it outside of the land of Israel we only have to keep the three

period and not on our beard we can trim it or use electric shaver but not a razor number six you shall not cut in your flesh for the Dead and number seven you shall not Place tattoo on yourselves now

Shabbat my Shabbat shall You observe and My Sanctuary shall you Revere fear verse 31 prohibition of sorcery and communication with the Dead do not turn to the sorcery of or vote and he donim which are two different kinds of bringing down Souls of the deceased and speaking to them verse 32 other elderly and Torah sages in the presence of an old person shall you rise and you shall honor the presence of a sage verse 33 love converts when a convert dwells among you do not hurt him with words they shall be like a native among you you shall love him like yourself now verse 36 and 35s and 36. speak about the Commandment to have honest weights and measures you shall have correct scales correct weights correct dry measures and correct liquid measures now we we go to page 667 and we list all the Commandments that we spoke about in parashata remote and in kudoshim and we give punishment for them verse 1. any man from the children of Israel or convert who shall give of his children to Molech Human Sacrifice shall be put to death the people of the land shall tell him to with stones verse 6. the person who shall turn to the sorcery of overnight to stray after them I shall concentrate my attention upon the person and cut him off from among the people which is correct prohibition spiritual Excision verse 7 you shall be you shall sanctify yourselves and you shall be holy for I am Holy Hashem your God verse 9. any man who will curse his father or mother shall be put to death by stoning now turn to page 669 a man who commits adultery shall be put to death by strangulation a man who shall lie with his father's wife his stepmother will die by Stoney a man who shall lie with his daughter-in-law death by Stoney a man who lies with another man death by stoning a man who takes a woman and her mother they will burn both of them in fire which means they pour molten lead down their throat a man who shall lie with an animal death by strangulation and we Stone the animal and a woman who approaches any animal to mate with her both of them must be killed by Stoney a man who has relations with his sister they receive correct prohibition um spiritual Excision a man who lies with a woman who is Nida both of them receive current spiritual excision verse 19 any man who has relations with his mother's sister or father sister receives correct spiritual Excision any man who has relations with his aunt has [Music] spiritual Excision they shall die childless a man who takes his brother's wife receives the spiritual excision ideally they shall die childless now we turn to page 671 land and it's Holiness you shall observe all my decrees and all my ordinances and perform them then the land to land to which I bring you to dwell will not vomit you do not follow the traditional traditions of the nation that I expel from before you for they did did all of these and I was disgusted with them so I say to you you shall inherit your land this land and I will give it to you to inherit it a land flung with milk and honey I'm Hashem you God who has separated you from the people verse 25 you now we learn about the laws of kashrut again you shall distinguish between the clean animal and the unclean and you shall not render your souls abominable through such animals and birds and through anything that creeps on the ground verse 26 Holiness of the Jewish people you shall be holy for me for I am Hashem am holy and I have separated you from the peoples to be mine and finally prohibition and punishment for sorcery any man or woman in whom there shall be the sorcery of oven you don't need they shall be put to death they shall Pelt them with stones their blood is upon themselves so if you remember on the previous page we also learned punishment for sorcery and that was karate why over here is death penalty and that is because if there are witnesses with proper warning there is a death penalty with Stony but if there are no Witnesses then they receive current with this we complete mode and kedoshima thank you for listening we should be holy we should stay away forbidden food forbidden relations and forbidden occult practices from sorcery and everything else we should be dedicated to Hashem and Hashem will be dedicated to us and he will give us land flowing with milk and honey again and we will have peace with that Hashem we will be God's holy nation and all the going will recognize us as such they will say these are holy people thank you shabbat shalom
