Shiur summary
Likutei Torah B’shalach   “M’koshash aitzim…” “The ‘gatherer’ of wood”

T J 25 ‘19

22:30

“V’hiyu B’nai Yisrael b’midbar u’yatzah ish m’koshsash aitzim”

Aitz chaim   and   aitz hadaas   - Adam was comparing them

“M’koshash” - Fr the word hekesh – “to compare”

Kiddushin 9: about marrying with a shtar. A hekesh – ex. one pasuk talks about marriage and marital relations thru a shtar.

Yoma 9: kiddushin – more shechina than normal

Brochos 5: “v’asafatah d’ganecha” – you’ll gather your crops.  When B’nei Yisrael don’t do the will of Hashem - but this is part of shema, where it says to love Hashem w/all one’s heart, soul and might?

“V’amdu zarim v’rah’u” – when Yidden do the will of Hashem     “M’odecha” – in first paragraph of shema, not the second

“Palchanah r’chi’m’nusah” – “avodah of love”     w/a beis = avodah with love      with a dalet = avodah of love

desire of, love of life = Hashem

Dovid & Yonasan “when the seat is absent you’re remembered” ??

Communist authority knocks on the door. Does Itmar Dostoyevsky (some obviously Jewish name) live here? No, he doesn’t. What is your name? Itmar Dostoyevsky. I thought you said he doesn’t live here? You call this living?

Addiction – recovery not easy. One is diagnosed w/a terminal illness and the addiction sometimes goes away. Love of life takes over.

Ask people: “what do you want most?” Most will say “I want to live”.  Yet how much time during the day do we think re: the value of life? Appreciation, gratitude, awareness of life.

Coverups

Russians – no supplies – man to man – Jew: “show me my man” ??

“You are given life and you are given death, choose life” - Arabs kill, Germans killed, etc     Difficult for a Yid to kill.

“Ki hu hayecha” - "Because He is our life"

A Rabbi, a priest & a minister – what they’d like to hear at their funeral Priest - He was a real friend Minister – He was a true servant of the Lord   Rabbi – I think he’s moving

POW’s, people in the Gulag – people will do anything to live

Life doesn’t die. Plug in the fridge, wire draws electricity, energy is never seen, see only the effects, pull out the plug and the electricity retreats/reverts back to its source

R Tzaddok HaKohen – new shirt today makes a great transformation – really?!?!

Pidyon HaBen: Cohen asks “do you want the child or pay $ to the Cohen”? Is it a question?   Of course one wants the little cute  The Cohen is talking about in a few years when the child is a little bit more to handle.

Day to day life – got to work to make a living – can’t be w/children or have so much of your own life sometimes.

          Aharon’s: Cat in the Cradle by Harry Chapin is a moving song that I grew up with about the bittersweet relationship of a busy father and a son as he grows older and becomes independent. If you listen to it you may cry.
