Tazria – Sos Tasis Vesagel Ho’akarah

The Sages teach us that the gender of the child is determined  by which partner transmits seed first. If its the Father then it will be a Girl if its the Mother then it will be a Boy. This has a mystical meaning as well. We the Jewish people are married to G-D the children that we produce in our marriage is the love of G-D that is Kabbalisticlly referred to as our spiritual children. The love can either be Male or Female. A masculine love is a striving and a passion to cleave to G-D’s very self even if that would mean an end to the soul as we know it. A feminine love is a striving and passion to experience a ray of Divinity that would allow for the Soul to retain its own existence.

Shemini – V’Chol Halevavos Yiraucha

An inside look at the sin of the Two son’s of Aharon. The danger of striving for spirituality for ones own gratification and not as a means to serve G-d. The Two son’s of Aharon reached the highest form of spiritual ecstasy to the point that they couldn’t control themselves from expiring in G-D’s infinite light. That was great for them but its not what G-D wants from us. We are charged with the mission to elevate the mundane and sanctify our bodies which can’t be accomplished if our souls escape back to their G-Dly source.
