Shemen Zayit Zach - Making A Clear Olive Oil - Parashat Tetzaveh

our series we have uh parachute tells us that uh who is commanding Israel to continue uh building this mishkan to uh to now have the quanim to do a lot of interesting things that uh you know will get to see once the third beta mikdash is built uh uh and one of the interesting things that we see is that academic children of Israel take for themselves a shemen a clear olive oil clear olive oil why not just why not just regular olive oil why not corn oil why not anything else is in essence symbolic of a righteous person a righteous person that's clean not that that uh you know the the shemen Zai didn't start off clean uh the Sherman zait was started off as like any other Shaman like any other oil you have to take out all of the filth out of it the same thing is in regards to the making of a righteous person uh you know the righteous person doesn't start off righteous like some people see when they see the dolim when they see the the go and reveal now or rabobia Kiva or or any of the righteous people that we've talked about in the past we see the uh the stories of what happened in their lives and many times it's after they've already done juva and fixed themselves and so on so it looks like oh they were probably Born This Way no but even wasn't born that way as the midras says once had a uh a king send Messengers to him uh that wanted to draw him draw the the uh the face of of moshebenu and they drew moshebenu and then they came back to the king and the King saw this image and then he gave this uh art this you know to his uh to his experts that knew how to read the face of a person and tell you about this person so these people uh these experts told the king they didn't know who who was being drawn they told them listen this person is a murderer this person is an angry person this person and again they're referring about and at that time he's at Mount Sinai so this is a uh Michelle obeno at its peak uh and uh here we have these uh people are telling the king this uh uh you know non-jewish King that uh the image that was drawn by the artist of the king is the image of a person that's angry that's a murderer that's a adulterer that's all the worst possible things you could have the king immediately got angry because he knew who the picture was of and he said either the experts that I have interpreting the face are liars and they're really not experts they're just liars or the artist really didn't go and see they didn't really see Moses the Jewish leader uh and they really uh just came back with nothing so both of course uh are uh you know decreed to die but they both plead to the king please please don't kill us we really are telling you the truth now the King was a wise King and said okay you know what I'm not gonna kill you but I'm gonna have to validate I'm gonna see I'm gonna go to the desert and go see this Moses and see which one of you is a liar and as you would have it the King goes to the desert is welcomed to see and he sees that moshebenu looks exactly like the pictures exactly like the pictures immediately turns to his wise men he tells him you're all liars I'm gonna kill every single one of you tells the king no your highness they're not Liars what they said was right they see on my face what I was born with I was born with anger I was born with the trait to kill I was born with certain traits that would have a desire for immorality he says yeah but you you speak to God and you you're a righteous person how could that be he says I was born that way but I used the Torah to soften myself I used the Torah to make myself a pure olive oil each person that is doing chuva has to know that wherever you started is not necessarily as important as wherever you're planning on going but that's not going to be a simple process it's not going to be a quick process and quite frankly it's not going to be a process that ends during your lifetime it's supposed to end at the end of your lifetime because if it ends during your lifetime then typically you have gone astray Hospital [Music] let me know what you think and make sure to share it because other people need to learn too
