Acharei Mot-Kedoshim

1. Crying for Nadav and Avihu an atonement for one’s sins
2. Our purpose to reveal the presence of G-d by our good deeds
3. Tzaraat – infects a person who spits out evil from his mouth that only the Kohen cure, a spiritual disease discovered by Tzaraat that starts on the skin, spreads to cloths and finally to the walls of the house – has to destroy the house, the person must camp outside the community
4. Lashon harah (Evil tongue) causes a person to loose his house of dwelling and throw out all the belongings; King Ahab the wicked did not loose soldiers in battle because no one spoke Lashon Harah. No Lashon Harah = Life
5. Nothing to be gained from Lashon Harah like the snake that only eats dirt and it’s deadly to both the speaker and the listener. Today, LASHON HARAH is a “respected” profession: in all media of communications
6. Do not tell stories and repeat what happen here and there about others
7. The first SIN ever – Lashon Harah, Metzorah is a person seeking to find evil speech. One must have good heart to control the eye that sees
8. LASHON HARAH is prosecuting others and not giving them a chance to rectify sin
9. The Kohen is a pipe to bring the blessing (like Israel to the Nations), just with his looking he would heal the Tzaraat, draw down the mercy on people helping them with peace, health, ... unlike the casual person who adds prosecution to others with LASHON HARAH
10. Tzaraat is the repealing of bounty from the creator, when the person merits affluence he is tested with LASHON HARAH; and if he talks LASHON HARAH he looses repeals the blessing. Evil wife is like Tzaraat to the husband and vv
11. The new age Tzaraat – people earn more than what they need and the rest they invest and continue to worry what will happen with the portfolio and be in Tzaar (Tzaraat) or continuous pain from worry
12. We must share our G-d’s endowments: a Rabbi must teach, a Rich man to give Tzedaka, a Doctor to heal, a good voice to take the Amud or be punished – there has to be movement of affluence (Zuzzim – movement)
13. The Metzorah is healed by slaughtering one bird and make a mixture of blood, water and Cedar tree to dip another bird in and set it free
14. G-d is forever watching over us; and if we saw all the miracles He does for us we would lose our mind. The Baal Shem Tov observed a storm in forest was to spare a worm from a bird causing the worm to escape being eaten prematurely
15. The Hebrew “Nun” is 50 indicating purity and qualification for the revelation of G-d and His Torah after 49 days or 7 (clean) weeks
16. Holy or Kadosh – means to separate ourselves from the Mundane or Chol, not to be public places for too long; be in the privacy of our homes and families, to separate from the Goyim, to cleanse ourselves in Mikvah
17. Secludness and learning brings Holiness, women’s protection from promiscuity is being at home with husband or family. The Sages were able to overcome idol worshiping and incest but the price is Arayot or sexually rampant in our daily life like lashon Harah or bad mouthing in all the various forms of media. Evil inclination must be to give freedom of choice and give us a desire for wants that sustains the world
18. Without evil and self interest there will no incentive to do anything; but we must control the desires and for the purpose of worshiping HaShem to get reward in the next worlds to come
19. Omer time is dangerous and we must refrain from anger, jealousy, hate and the rest of the bad character. The traits we fix during the Omer each week rectify ourselves for the entire year. Controlling our bad traits during the Omer will cause us to control them the entire year. Only when we cleanse ourselves from bad character do we get the light of Torah
