Edit :  This past but you can still watch it

In this parsha we learn how it says that Yitschak the son of Avraham, And Avraham the father of Yitschak but it says in the midrash when Avraham and & Sarah were going to Avi-melech Avraham told Sarah of they ask say to them that you are my sister .Avi-melech took Sarah for one night and Hashem gave him and everyone  in the kingdom Leprosy.Hashem came to Avi-Melech and said you took Sarah the wife of Avraham and that is why you got cursed,  Avi-Melech said but i did not know that Sarah is the wife of Avraham ,Hashem said you are right.After One month Sarah became pregnant and the mockers said Avraham and Sarah were married so long and now Sarah is pregnant they said no it might be Avi-Melech's kid but Hashem made it that Avraham and his son Yitschak were like twins,after a while Avraham asked Hashem that him and his son Yitschak should not look alike because when Yitschak went some were every one would stand and this is not honer for Avraham .So Hashem made Avraham the first old person.Before this people who where one hundred looked like the age of a twenty years old person

 


Hashem told Avraham to put יצחק on the alter and Avraham was doing so but an angle came and said stop don't do this, Hashem said to put him on the alter not to kill him go take that ram and kill it because you have already made an alter so Avraham was going after the ram and the ram stopped at Merat Hamehpela.Avraham smelled and a voice came and said what you're smelling is the perfume of Gan Eden.Avraham later on said he wants to but this land and he bought it . Sarah was bury there.

Sarah lived one hundred twenty seven years When Sarah. was one hundred and over she was like twenty years old with no averot . when Sarah was twenty years old she was like a seven year old because of her beauty.  

Hashem appeared to Avraham and then Avraham looked up and saw three men walking and he ran to them from the entrance and he said please wait He brought water for them so he can wash there feet  and let them recline under the tree. Avraham said i will go get some bread (food) then the three people said "Do so Just as you have said"Avraham told to Sarah three meals,fine flour, make cakes.
              
            Avraham gave these three people a nice good calf and took milk and gave it to them. Avraham was standing next to them and watched them eat the food

    Later on these people where really angles that Hashem had sent and there names are Gabriel,Michael,and Rephael.

    Gabriel was sent to destroy Sedom
        Michael was sent to cure Avraham
           Rephael was sent to say that Sarah will have a baby boy in One year
              
                 

Avraham is told to go out of Charan go to the Land of Canaan. When he arrived , they are made to leave Canaan,because of a famine, and he has to travel to Mitzrayim in search of food.

Avraham separates from his brother-in-law Lot.Hashem tells Avraham that he will have children(nations) who would be as many children as the stars.
Avraham is forced to rescue Lot from captivity. when he is doing this, he adjusts the balance of power in Canaan and is recognized by the other political leaders for
his military .

Avram is 70 years old. Sarah tells Avram to marry Hagar.The birth of Yishmael is told. Following the birth of Yishmael Avram's name is changed to Avraham.

Avraham is presented with the Mitzvah of circumcision . Sara's name is changed to Sarah, and Hashem assures Avraham he and Sarah will have a son called Yitzchak. It is the year 2047 and Avraham circumcises himself, Yishmael, and his entire household.

  1. The Jewish people go to war against Midian in this week’s parsha. This war can be described as a preventive war – striking before the enemy strikes again against you – and even as a war of revenge and punishment over the culpability of Midian in the death of twenty four thousand Jews due to their willful planned seduction by the women of Midian.
  2. In this war the leading chieftains of Midian are killed as is the arch foe and cunning enemy of Israel, Bilaam. None of this makes for pleasant reading according to our current pacific and humanitarian correctness system. Yet the Torah teaches us here an important lesson about pacifism and misplaced humanitarian considerations.
  3. The Talmud teaches us that someone who intends to kill you should be subject to a preemptive strike so that you can save yourself. Waiting to be attacked is not a safe or even sane defensive policy. In fact it invites attack for the enemy always sees it as a sign of weakness that can be exploited.
  4. Thus the instructions given to Moshe in this week’s parsha are based on the clear premise that the Midianites are schemers and seducers who are attempting to destroy Israel. Stop them before they are able to execute their nefarious plans against the Jewish people. Moshe’s actions in mobilizing a Jewish army to oppose Midian immediately and not wait until Midian executes its own warlike intentions are not only God given commandments but pure human common sense as well.
  5. Revenge also plays a role in human life. Even though the Torah commands Jews not to take revenge against individuals who may have harmed us, nevertheless on a national level it is impossible to overlook crimes perpetrated against the Jewish people.
  6. The tragedy of the aftermath of World War II is that most of the people who committed the atrocities of the Holocaust somehow have escaped proper human judgment and retribution. In a world of unfortunate moral equivalency judgment against criminals is now tempered with sociological wooliness that prevents justice from being done.
  7. The Torah expressly states that the action taken by Moshe and Israel against Midian, aside from its preemptive quality and nature, is also a form of repayment for the sins of Midian against the Jews and their responsibility in the deaths of so many Jews.
  8. Every action begets a reaction. The war against Midian is the reaction to the previous war of Midian against the Jews. Evil that goes unpunished, if not even rewarded by inaction, only perpetuates and strengthens itself. Even a cursory reading of Tanach will reveal that this policy of preemptive strikes and punishing evil behavior from outside nations was always the policy of Jewish leadership.
  9. Harsh realism always should trump wishful thinking and pious hopes and policies. I am not in a position to draw policy conclusions in regard to current national and international events. Nevertheless the Torah’s emphasis in this week’s parsha on the necessity for strong reaction to protect the innocent and punish the guilty should certainly be taken to heart.

I can't post more until summer is over b/c i am very busy but i posted parsha Korach please visit this site


  1. B/c i might have some extra time to post
  2. i might be freeeeee the rest or the summer starting from someday in the summer

Korach, "the son of Yitzhar, the son of Kehat, the son of Levi," incites a rebellion against Moses. He is joined by Dathan and Aviram, and On the son of Peleth, all of the tribe of Reuben. Also participating are 250 "leaders of the community, those regularly summoned to assembly, men of renown."

And they massed upon Moses and Aaron and said to them: "Enough! The entire community is holy, and G-d is amongst them; why do you raise yourselves above the congregation of G-d?"

And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face.

When it becomes clear that Korach and the 250 "men of renown" are aspiring for the Kehunah (priesthood) themselves, Moses challenges them to offer ketoret to G-d--the most sacred of the Divine services in the Sanctuary, permitted only to a priest, and only under special circumstances. Aaron, whose appointment as Kohen Gadol (High Priest) they are contesting, will also offer the ketoret. "Come morning, and G-d will show who is His, and who is holy... and whom He has chosen will He bring near to Him."

Korach and the 250 men accept the challenge. "And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense on them, and stood in the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron." The people are sympathetic to Korach's rebellion, and gather en masse at the entrance to the Sanctuary.

Fire and Earth

G-d's anger is aroused, and he says to Moses and Aaron: "Separate yourselves from among this congregation, and I shall consume them in a moment!"

And they fell upon their faces and said: "O G-d, G-d of the spirits of all flesh! Shall one man sin, and Your wrath be upon the entire community?"

Dathan and Aviram had already refused Moses' summons; now Moses goes to them, in an effort to quell the mutiny. But they remain defiant.

The moment of truth arrives.

And Moses said: "Hereby you shall know that G-d has sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of my own mind.

"If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then G-d has not sent me.

"But if G-d creates a new creation, and the earth opens her mouth, and swallows them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down alive into abyss; then you shall understand that these men have provoked G-d."

And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split beneath them.

And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained to Korach, and all their goods....

And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said: Lest the earth swallow us up also.

As for the contenders for the priesthood, "there came out a fire from G-d, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the ketoret."

More Ketoret

G-d instructs that the pans in which the 250 men offered the ketoret should be retrieved, and hammered into plates to be used as the copper covering of the Altar. "For they offered them before G-d, and they have become holy." Also, this will serve as "a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before G-d; that he be not like Korach and his company."

The next day, the people again massed upon Moses and Aaron. "You have caused the deaths of the people of G-d!" they accuse them.

G-d's anger is again aroused, and a plague breaks out among the people. "Take a censer," cries Moses to Aaron, "and put fire in it from off the altar, and put on ketoret, and take it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath is gone out from G-d..."

And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague had begun among the people...

And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

The Blossoming Staff

G-d instructs Moses to conduct yet another "test" to prove Aaron's chosenness as the Kohen Gadol (High Priest). Each one of the twelve tribal heads should place their staff in the Sanctuary; Aaron, as the head of the tribe of Levi, will place his staff as well. Each should write his name on his staff. "And it shall come to pass that the man's staff, whom I shall choose, shall blossom; and I will put to rest the murmuring of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you."

And Moses placed the rods before G-d in the Tent of the Testimony.

And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony; and, behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had blossomed; it brought forth blossoms, produced budding fruit, and bore ripe almonds.

And Moses brought out all the rods from before G-d to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his staff.

G-d instructs that Aaron's staff should be returned to the Sanctuary and placed there as a memorial and testimony for generations to come.

The Priesthood

And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying: "Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.

"Everyone that comes at all near the tabernacle of G-d dies; shall ever stop dying?"

G-d reiterates that it is the Kohanim, assisted by the Levites, who bear the responsibility of serving in proximity to the Divine, where the slightest digression has most drastic consequences. All "strangers" (i.e., laymen) are warned to keep their distance.

The Levites and the Kohanim will receive no portion in the Land when it is divided among the tribes and families of Israel. The people, in whose stead the Kohanim and Levites serve in the Sanctuary, are to support them with the ordained mattanot kehunah, "gifts to the priesthood." A number of these 24 "gifts" are enumerated in the closing chapter of Korach:

Meal offerings, sin-offerings and guilt-offerings brought by the Israelites to the Sanctuary are eaten by the Kohanim, as are portions of the peace-offering (as detailed in the Parshiot of Vayikra and Tzav).

A terumah ("uplifting") from every crop of grain, wine and olive oil is given to the Kohen, as are bikkurim, the first-ripening fruits of the orchard.

The firstborn belong to the Kohen: firstborn sons are "redeemed" by paying the Kohen five silver shekels, and firstborn sheep and cattle are offered in the Sanctuary and their meat eaten by the Kohen.

The Levites receive a tithe--ten percent--of the Israelite farmer's crop; a tithe of the tithe is given by the Levite to the Kohen.

Out of all that is given to you, you shall set aside all that is due as a gift to G-d; of the choicest thereof, the hallowed part of it.
