BASED ON SHVILEI PINCHAS: HKB”H Rests His Shechinah upon a Gathering of Ten Members of Yisrael Transforming Them into a New Entity

In this week's portion of Emor, we read (Vayikra 22, —“ולא תחללו את שם קדשי ונקדשתי בתוך בני ישראל אני ה’ מקדשכם” :( 32

you shall not defile My holy name, and I shall be sanctified amidst Bnei Yisrael; I am Hashem Who sanctifies you.

The Test of Consistency 

After the sin - Adam makes a belt 

In Egypt we were commanded to eat the Pesach sacrafice wearing a belt 

The Kohen must wear a belt 32 amot long 

We make a special blessing each morning Ozer Yisrael Bigvurah relating to our belt 

Shulchan Aruch: One needs to gird oneself with a girdle at the time of prayer; even if one wears a sash, such that one's heart does not 'see' one's nakedness, because of concentration. But for the rest of the blessings it is permitted to bless them without a belt, so long as one is wearing trousers

Why the Kohen Gadol needs a wife 

Can mashiach come on Shavuot?

Why did Adam request a wife?

How do I learn what love means?

Do I love Hashem?

The Heavenly Hall of Love 

Kol Sasson veKol Simcha 

 “When you come to the Land and plant any food tree, you shall treat its fruit as orlah; for three years it shall be orlah to you, they shall not be eaten.” 

[Vayikra 19:23] The halacha is that if one plants a tree and the tree produces fruit during the first three years of its growth, those fruits are forbidden to be eaten. They are known as “orlah”.
Adam could not wait. It was for the best of reasons, but he did not wait. He ate from the tree prematurely and unfortunately, the world changed forever for the worse. the
Brisker Rav once officiated at a wedding during which the ring fell into the grass as it was about to be slipped onto the bride’s finger, completing the marriage ceremony.

As for the person with a leprous affection: the clothes shall be rent, the head shall be left bare, and the upper lip shall be covered over; and that person shall call out, “Impure! Impure!”
