Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parshat Emor ,where HaShem tells Moshe to instruct Aharon on the purity of a Kohen.
Our people need to be Holy ,as we saw in last week's Parsha, as HaShem
is Holy.HaShem here teaches that a representative of the people who is
to guide the people and keep them Holy,is to be a shining example of
that Holiness in ensuring that they remain more Holy then the one's they
are working to cleanse.A leader who is a
good example of the right way,is the best teacher and guide of all.It
is not just about dressing Holy and showing others one is Holy.It is
also about acting Holy and purely and morally with kindness and
sweetness to all.If you can make one person happy every day just with a
small action of your time to put a little smile on their faces,you can
invigorate their Neshoma and lift their emotions to one of happiness.
As I said,a leader needs to be even more Holy ,for he needs to lead
others to a higher state of Holiness.If he is pure then he can come to
HaShem for us with purity and HaShem will be more ready to listen.Each
of us can be a leader of Holiness and kindness to others and purity ,for
HaShem puts us amongst others all the time ,so that we can influence those
around us to greater G-Dliness and purity.We are always in a place for a
reason even if we don't know that reason.As Hillel said (in Pirkei
Avot),"in a place where there are no leaders,strive to be a leader." We
are,at every moment a representative of HaShem to bring light into every
place we step and into every word we say.
The word "Emor" means
"Say" for it is through our clean speech to others,our sweet nice and
kind way of talking,that makes others happy.It is through our mouth and
tongue that we can bring holiness without hurting others (Chas Ve
Shalom) or talking about them.Our speech is a pathway to bring others to
love HaShem and all HaShem Creates.This brings Mashiach.Yes our mouth
and what we say can bring Mashiach.It is in the very word "Emor," which
Gematrically comes to 241 ,which,when we add each of these numbers,we
get 2+4+1=7 which is the same value as the word "Mashiach."
If we
also take the word ' Emor ' and use the same letters within it (Aleph
,Mem ,Reish) to make another word - "Alep (for Elokim) and "Ram" - in
other words 'A- Ram' it means "Elokim is High." With our words and what
we say,we can raise others and ourselves,to HaShem on High.
Let us
all watch our words and be Holy as HaShem is Holy and be leaders for
others ,to Holiness.We are not here to worry for ourselves,but to bring
others to HaShem.
With love HaShem I wish You a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and to all with love a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh.
