Recording Available Via Telephone Dial: (605) 475-4799 | Access ID: 840886# | Reference #: 2387 The Toldot Adam in parashat Kedoshim writes, every single mitzvah carries with it a great segula . For example, tefillin gives life, shiluach haken brings children, and when a person does a mitzvah the correct way, purely l'shem Shamayim , then he is able to access its segulot . Furthermore, every mitzvah gives a spiritual uplifting to a person and has the power to bring him closer to Hashem. In this week's parasha , Korach and his entire family, with all of their wealth, possessions, belongings, slaves and maidservants, got swallowed up by the earth in a horrific way. The pasuk says, however, that the sons of Korach did not perish and the Yalkut Shimoni asks what their zechut was to be saved. It answers, it was one mitzvah. When they were sitting with their father, they saw Moshe Rabbenu approaching and immediately looked down. In their minds they were debating what to do, should they stand up for the Gadol HaDor and fulfill the mitzvah of מפני שיבה תקום ? Or should they respect their father and ignore Moshe? They then recalled the halacha which says that כבוד רבו proceeds the kavod of one's father. And so they stood up and honored Moshe Rabbenu. At that moment, they felt an inner purity and they were able to make teshuva on the spot. And that's how they were saved. The Imreh Yitzchak points out, this midrash implies they had no other zechut than this. It was just the performance of one mitzvah that gave them the spiritual energy to make teshuva and save their lives. The Shomer Emunim writes, when a person exhibits self sacrifice for a mitzvah, he gets a special outpouring of Divine assistance from Hashem. A regular person, with the performance of even one mitzvah with self sacrifice can gain more assistance from Hashem than even a tzaddik who is greater than him who did not have the same self sacrifice for that particular mitzvah. He writes further, if someone excels in believing in Hashem's hashgacha pratit in everything that goes on in his life, then in return Hashem will give that person extra special protection and assistance that he would not have been worthy of otherwise. To the extent that even if the entire world was experiencing a certain form of affliction, he would be singled out to be protected from it. Moreover, if he truly sees the Yad Hashem in every aspect of his life, in that merit, Hashem will do miracles and wonders on his behalf. This is the great segula that comes about from the mitzvah of believing in Hashem's hashgacha . Hashem's hashgacha is everywhere. It is up to us to recognize it. Chazal tell us even something so insignificant as a person putting his shirt on the wrong way is hashgacha pratit . When things go the way we want, even the simplest things, we should stop for a moment and say, “Thank You Hashem for helping us.” That will train us to believe everything is from Him. And if things don't go the way we want, we should also thank Him for giving us the kapara that we needed. The main thing is to recognize Hashem's involvement in everything that goes on and if we do that, b'ezrat Hashem, Hashem will do wonders and miracles for us. Shabbat Shalom.

Entering the Holy of Holies
The pasuk says in the beginning of the second parashah this week קדושים תהיו , and Rashi writes, most of the body of the Torah is dependent on this commandment. The Mefarshim discuss, what is it about this mitzvah that is so intrinsic to the fulfillment of the Torah? The Imreh Yitzchak explains, the mitzvot were given to elevate and sanctify us, like we say קדשינו במצוותיך. But in order to attain kedusha from the mitzvot, we need to imbue the body of every mitzvah with a neshama and that neshama is the kavana that we put into them. In the words of the Ben Ish Hai in parashat Beha'alotecha , the entire tikun that is supposed to be brought out by each mitzvah cannot take place without us putting the kavanot into it, because a mitzvah without kavana is like a body without a soul. And this, explains the Imreh Yitzhak is one explanation of the words קדושים תהיו – we are supposed to become sanctified through the mitzvot and that requires us to think before we do each one of them, that we are doing them to fulfill the will of Hashem, and thereby connect ourselves to Him. And that is why this is so intrinsic to the fulfillment of the entire Torah. Rabbi Dessler writes, the future rewards of delighting in the radiance of the Shechina will come about through an extremely strong bond of connection to Hashem. Therefore, if one's mitzvot here are done with the desire to connect to Hashem, that is what is going to establish that great level of connection and enable Hashem, kavayachol , to reward the person with a connection that is many thousands of times greater than that. A little thought can elevate a person's Olam Hazeh and Olam Haba to unimaginable levels. Someone once asked Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach about the Mishnah which says, רצה הקב"ה לזכות את ישראל לפיכך הרבה להם תורה ומצוות – Hashem wanted to give merits to the Jewish People so He gave them an abundance of Torah and mitzvot. The man's question was, isn't more Torah and mitzvot seemingly more of a burden? The Rabbi answered, “There are so many mitzvot which involve actions that people are doing anyway, such as putting on their shoes in the morning. Hashem, in His infinite kindness, wanted to give us merits by turning all of those actions into mitzvot by attaching commandments to them, telling us to put on our shoes a certain way, right before left, just to give up more reward.” Similarly, there are so many other actions that we do anyway. If we simply have in mind that we are performing a mitzvah when doing them, we will be rewarded for them. I received a sefer called Ka'asher Tziva Hashem , translated into English, written by Rabbi Daniel Garfinkel. The Rabbi opens our eyes, in this sefer , to countless mitzvot that we could fulfill just by having the correct thought process while we are doing them, namely because Hashem commanded us. For example, a young man hears the cries of his newborn baby in the middle of the night. He sees his wife is in a deep sleep and doesn't hear the baby. His initial reaction would be to call to his wife and wake her up. But suddenly, he realizes, putting the baby back to sleep would be a mitzvah from the Torah of gemilut chasadim to both his wife and the baby. He then gets up happily and thinks, לשם מצוות חסד כאשר ציווני ה' , and he goes to put the baby back to sleep, acquiring eternity. Washing one's face in the morning fulfills the mitzvah of kiddush Hashem, brushing one's teeth fulfills the mitzvah of ונשמרתם מאד לנפשותיכם , buying something from a fellow Jew fulfills the mitzvah of וכי תמכרו... , paying a worker fulfills the mitzvah of ביומו תתן שכרו . However, in order to get the proper credit and bring about the kedusha and connection that we want from these actions, we need to have the kavana that we are doing them to fulfill the will of Hashem. Someone who goes about his day having these intentions is living with Hashem on a constant basis. He remembers Hashem in everything he does and thereby establishes a very strong bond with Him. We are in this world to elevate ourselves and become kedoshim and connect ourselves with Hashem for all eternity. The more we can train ourselves to have the proper kavanot , the greater our connection will be. Shabbat Shalom.

The Torah reading of Kedoshim begins: "You shall be holy because I, the L-rd your G-d, am holy." Why is this single statement considered to be the foundation of mitzvah observance?
Our Nation has always had bad neighbors. The Midrash in our Parsha states that the Egyptians and the Canaanites, both nations that our people lived in close proximity to, are the most morally deficient of all the world's nations. Moreover, the specific areas in those lands where the Jews resided contained that worst offenders of those nations. Evidently, the Almighty wants us to have really awful neighbors whose repugnant behavior we must shun. Why? Why did the Almighty arrange it that way?

This week's double-parsha contains a smorgasbord of mitzvos. The three chapters of Parshas Acharei cover three general categories. First we read about the Yom Kippur sacrifices and procedures; then we learn about the prohibitions against the consumption of blood among other ritualistic and sacrificial laws, and the final chapter is oriented around the many prohibited sexual relationships. Parshas Kedoshim has the highest mitzvah density of any parsha: In its 64 verses, we learn 51 separate mitzvos covering many different areas of Jewish practice, including arguably the most famous mitzvah in the whole Torah.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.
