Vayikra – Biyur V’lo Sashbis – Class 3

A profound discourse on the significance of  Torah study. Why we must study both the revealed and mystical dimensions of the Torah.

Kedoshim – V’Hadarta P’nei Zaken

A deep insight into the Mitzvah of standing up for a Torah scholar. The great importance of memorizing Torah knowledge, which allows one to experience unity with G-d at all times, even while not actively engaged in spiritual activity.

Kedoshim T’heyu – Derech Mitzvosecha

A mystical explanation on the “Three Times Holy” that we say during our prayer:

The soul’s descent into the body in order to struggle with darkness is an absolute necessity for it to rise infinitely beyond its original capacity. Just like water is filtered through the earth and emerges clean from beneath the ground, so too is the soul purified in its passing through the filter of the human body.

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.

Vayikra – Adam Ki Yakriv

Why is there so many ups and downs in our spiritual lives?  Why does inspiration fade away so quickly?  How can we make permanent advances in our refinement of self?

Ki Sisa – Zeh Yitnu

Our love for G-D comes in two ways. One that we can produce through our contemplation and meditation. The other comes as a gift from above after we’ve done our part. The latter is far greater then the former, but not everyone  merits to experience that higher connection with G-D.  These two forms of love are alluded to in the twenty Geiro coin that made up the holy  Shekel, described in this Torah portion. What is required from us all is to give half the Shekel, the human effort  which is in our reach.
