Parashat Tazriah-Metzorah

Our Parsha this Shabbos is a double Parsha of Parshat Tazriah-Metzorah when a woman gives birth and it discusses what a woman needs to do afterwards.These Parshas also discuss purity.
A woman in Hebrew is 'Isha' and a man in Hebrew is 'Ish' So,the woman has an extra 'Alef' which is the first letter of HaShem's Name 'Elokim' and 'El' so HaShem gave to the woman,a special part of Himself that man does not possess , that brings a 'Woman' spiritually closer to HaShem.In Torah,the word 'Isha- ends with a 'Hei,' but by permitted ways of interpretation of interchanging similar sounding letters 'Hei' and 'Alef' can interchange for interpretation purposes.Both 'Alef' and 'Hei' both have letters in HaShem's Name for His different attributes.Men are usually more physical and Women are more emotionally spiritual.Not meaning to generalize,but this is generally how many women and men are.
Women can understand a part of HaShem,that men could never relate to and that is that as HaShem Creates and brings life into this world,so does HaShem Create the world,life and the Woman to bare life,after carrying that life for 9 months as HaShem carries us.This feeling of bringing life is something that only HaShem and a Woman can understand and when a woman brings life that HaShem Creates,she touches Heaven and becomes a partner with HaShem and her Husband in bringing a new life into this world.
The very fact that she carries her child and feeds her child from within,is a beautiful miracle that man can never come up to or relate to.It brings the Woman to understand and relate to something that only G-D can do and also,the very carrying of the child is a feeling that she can relate to in HaShem Who carries us all. HaShem gives miracles today even though people don't realize it and the greatest miracle HaShem Creates,is the spiritually beautiful Holy Woman that touches HaShem in helping to bring HaShem's Creation of life into this physical world.There is no greater miracle today and this miracle happens so many tines in this world every day.HaShem is always here and His miracles abound.
It says in The Kabbalah that HaShem counts the tears of women and if we think of the miracle of Women and how they are closer to HaShem in this way,understanding what it is to a small extent ,of bringing life into this world,then we can start to understand that as HaShem Cries for every soul that hurts Him,so does a Woman who also ,by HaShem , brings life into this world and pains for everything that goes the way it shouldn't in this world,also will shed emotional tears. Women are closer to HaShem ,by this very emotional bond of what they brought into this world (as HaShem brings life and carries it) and thus has a closer and deeper understanding of HaShem by the very life they carry and bring into this world.
When a woman is hurt by a man,HaShem sheds a tear too and counts every tear a woman sheds for she too has the 'Alef ' of HaShem's Name within her in the Hebrew word for 'Woman' which is the word 'Isha' and which is the same letter as HaShem's Name 'Elokim' which is HaShem's Attribute of Judgement.So as HaShem judges us for all we do,so does the 'Woman' feel the wrongs in this word in a more sensitive way.
Men who abuse women are abusing HaShem more deeply then they can ever realize and so,a man needs to realize that he is not higher than a woman.Both need each other to grow toward HaShem.
When HaShem brought Woman to Man,HaShem reminded Man that a woman is a Helpmate corresponding to him,not to bow her head to him,but to tell him when he is wrong for both need each other to grow and neither can see the wrong in themselves that their partner can see.Thus when they correct each other and compliment each other,they grow and this growing is Holy,toward HaShem.A partner is the best Helpmate for it is through this Helpmate that we grow and come closer to HaShem.
If it wasn't for the Woman,none of us would be here so Men need to remember their place .
Women are so deep and men need to learn to see a Woman for the special spiritual Creation she is and take the special miracle HaShem has provided men with ,by HaShem Blessing them with the Creation of a Woman who is HaShem's Blessing from Heaven.Thank you HaShem for giving us exactly what the world needs-the miracle of the Woman as a special part of You.
With deepest love HaShem I wish You a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love and to all,a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love.

Parashas Shemini

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parshas Shemini.It was after seven days of inauguration that HaShem instructed on the eighth day that offerings be made and then HaShem would appear to the people.
The number 'Eight' has a great Holy significance.We know that Mashiach (whose Gematria is seven) will come and usher in the Eternal Shabbos of peace - Shabbos being the seventh day .We are now counting seven weeks of the Omer toward Holiness and it will be on the very next day - the 'eighth day' so to speak , that we will allow us to be able to receive our Holy Torah in spirituality as we did on Har Sinai on that day after the seventh week.So this next day,the day after the 'seventh' which is the 'Shemini' - 'The Eighth Day,' we were Blessed with HaShem appearing to us on Har Sinai.The same happens here in our Parsha where after seven days of inauguration,HaShem appears within the beautiful erected Tabernacle after the offerings were performed and after we were ready to receive HaShem.
We are,right now,within the period of time where we are preparing ourselves for Mashiach and headed toward this 'Shemini' - the 'Eighth Day' where again HaShem will appear.HaShem is always there.We don't see Him but He is always there.It is due to our present state of needing to grow spiritually that causes us not to be on a level to see a glimpse of HaShem's Holy Shechinah.We are at the preparation stage headed toward the End Of Days.
But what is this preparation stage and what is it that we are supposed to do.All over the world there is a renewed interest in Holy matters from Torah learning.More and more we will see more people searching and looking toward HaShem's Holy Torah.But what are we supposed to do.HaShem Created us and all things.When we find ourselves in any place,we need to take the opportunity,looking beyond the obvious,by spreading the light of HaShem in that place.We are never in a place for nothing.There is always a deeper reason.All of us have an obligation to make this world and every part of it,a place where HaShem can be welcomed to settle.This obligation sits on each and every one of us.
For HaShem to be able to settle here in the world He gave us,we need to all work toward cleansing all things around us.That includes ourselves.The sweet words of Torah,must be displayed to all things around us so It can sweeten all things.It starts with us and how we behave.Being moral as part of being religious is displaying religion itself.HaShem gave us all a light from Him.It is up to us to display it and so,light up the world around us.That is what we are supposed to do.A light given but kept in a cupboard does not light up the surroundings.The light HaShem gives us,is to be displayed in the open and so ,light up all people,things and places around us.So we are to start with keeping Torah and keeping HaShem's Holy Shabbos that was there at Creation and teaching others to do so too in the kindest and softest of ways.
It is for us to all make this world a place that HaShem can dwell in and be welcomed and for us to do that,we need to make the very air around us and all we meet and everywhere that we go ,a welcome place for HaShem so that on our 'Shemini' - 'Eighth Day' to come, HaShem will again appear to us all.The more we do for HaShem and this world to make it Holy and the more Torah Mitzvot we keep,the sooner will come The End Of Days and the Final Redemption - May it come on our time.
The Hebrew Word 'HaShemini' in our Parsha comes to 415 in Gematriah.If we add these numbers up we get 10 which is the 10 Commandments that were given on Mount Sinai and also, the completion of Creation which started in Bereishis with HaShem's Ten Pronouncements when HaShem Created the world.The 'Shemini' is thus a completion of Creation.
We are now in the time of preparation and so we need to do all we can to make ourselves and this world a place where HaShem can settle as HaShem told us in Torah to build HaShem a Tabernacle where HaShem can settle.That Tabernacle includes ourselves too and the world around us.
.So let us all use these days of preparation wisely for HaShem, so that we can bring on our Final 'Shemini' - 'The Eighth Day' which will be The Days of The Final Redemption with our ever so precious HaShem.
With deepest love to HaShem I wish HaShem a beautiful Holy Shabbos with love and to all a beautiful Holy Shabbos with love.
