Chukat: The Death of the Righteous Brings Atonement

Art Laurence Amelie

Source: Rav Kook Torah

As the Israelites neared the end of their forty-year trek in the wilderness, they lost two great leaders, Miriam and Aaron. While a tremendous loss for the nation, their passing had a hidden spiritual benefit.

The Torah informs us of Miriam's death immediately after enumerating the laws of the Parah Adumah, the red heifer whose ashes were used for purification. The Talmudic sages already wondered what connection there might be between Miriam's death and the Parah Adumah :

"Why is the death of Miriam juxtaposed to the laws of the Parah Adumah? This teaches that just as the Parah Adumah brings atonement, so too, the death of the righteous brings atonement." [Mo'ed Katan 28a]

While this connection between Miriam and the Parah Adumah is well-known, the continuation of the same Talmudic statement, concerning the death of Aaron, is less so.

"And why is the death of Aaron juxtaposed to [the mention of] the priestly clothes? This teaches that just as the priestly clothes bring atonement, so too, the death of the righteous brings atonement."

In what way does the death of tzaddikim atone for the people? And why does the Talmud infer this lesson from both the Parah Adumah and the priestly clothes?

Larger Than Life

The principal benefit that comes from the death of tzaddikim is the spiritual and moral awakening that takes place after they pass away. When a tzaddik is alive, his acts of kindness and generosity are not always public knowledge. True tzaddikim do not promote themselves. On the contrary, they often take great pains to conceal their virtues and charitable deeds. It is not uncommon that we become aware of their true greatness and nobility of spirit only after they are no longer with us. Only then do we hear reports of their selfless deeds and extraordinary sensitivity, and we are inspired to emulate their ways. In this way, the positive impact of the righteous as inspiring role models increases after their death.

While stories of their fine traits and good deeds stir us to follow in their path, certain aspects of great tzaddikim — extraordinary erudition and scholarship, for example — are beyond the capabilities of most people to emulate. In such matters, the best we can do is to take upon ourselves to promote these qualities in our spiritual leadership, such as supporting the Torah study of young, promising scholars.

Two Forms of Emulation

In short, the death of tzaddikim inspires us to imitate their personal conduct — if possible, in our own actions, and if not, by ensuring that there will be others who will fill this spiritual void.

These two methods of emulation parallel the different forms of atonement through the Parah Adumah and the priestly clothes. Ritual purification using Parah Adumah ashes was only effective when they were sprinkled on the body of the impure person; no one else could be purified in his place. This is comparable to those aspects of the tzaddik that are accessible to, and incumbent upon, all to emulate.

The priestly garments, on the other hand, were only worn by the kohanim. It was through the service of these holy emissaries that the entire nation was forgiven. This is like those extraordinary traits of the tzaddik that are beyond the capabilities of most people. These qualities can be carried on only by a select few, with the support of the entire nation.

Handing the Keys to Moshiach

Rabbi Rabbi Moshe Ben Tov [1930 - July 16, 2010] was a renowned Kabbalist, known for his unique ability to read mezuzot, earning him the title “Roeh Mezuzot,” or “the Mezuzah Seeker.” Through his extraordinary spiritual insight, Rabbi Ben Tov could discern the past and present conditions of individuals by examining their mezuzot. This practice made him a revered figure in the world of Jewish mysticism, and people from all walks of life sought his blessings and guidance.  

During  a visit to the Prime Minister's Office, Rabbi Ben Tov made a remarkable statement to Netanyahu.

“It is very important that your love of Israel continue until the Moshiach comes because you are going stay in office and are going to meet him,” Rabbi Ben Tov said to Netanyahu. “You are the one who will give him the keys to this office.”

The Evil at the End of Days

 

US President Donald Trump has erupted in a blistering tirade against Zohran Mamdani, following his shock win in the race for the Democrat party’s nomination for New York mayor. “Democrats have crossed the line by elevating a 100% Communist Lunatic,” the US president declared in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social. “We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous,” he continued, expressing outrage at the rising influence of left-wing figures within the Democratic Party. 

Who is behind Zohran Mamdani?

None other than Barack Hussein Obama !

Can't seem to get rid of this guy.  

GPS—puts Zohran Mamdani at Barack Hussein Obama II’s War Room twice in 6 weeks. Also present were leaders from the Muslim Brotherhood and what certainly appears to be two Iranian MOIS operatives, very likely IRGC Unit 840.  Source

The Secret of Gog u Magog & the Hormuz Strait

As it turns out, the Rabbi who made the video where I took this from, is not suitable for this blog, I didn't realize he was waiting for a different Messiah, so I have removed the video.  Thank you to Anonymous for letting me know.

Nevertheless, the things he said and quoted are very worthwhile.   His name is Rabbi Shapira.

This is what he said:

The Gedolim of  Israel have spoken and have given us a warning - See Isaiah 34:6

"G-d has a sword and it is sated with blood, it is gored with fat, the blood of lambs and he-goats, the  kidney fat of rams, for G-d holds a sacrifice in Batzrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom."

I want you to pay attention to this expression that is being mentioned through the prophet Isaiah - "G-d holds a sacrifice in Batzrah" and a great slaughter in the land of  Edom.  The rabbis told us that those two verses are speaking about the coming of the Mashiach.   Could it be that those verses have been prophesying about what the United States just has done with Iran?

Quoting Rabbi Laniado who wrote his famous commentary on Isaiah 500 years ago:  there is a far away land from Bavel and it's name is Batzrah which is on the border between Assyria and Persia [Iran].  It is also between the land of Edom in an area that is known by the name of Hormuz which is under the dominion of Ishmael.   On this verse  500 years ago Rabbi Laniado said that the final war,  more than likely the war of Gog and Magog, will start up in Hormuz. 

There is only one place on the face of the earth that has the name Hormuz, it is the Strait of Hormuz which is controlled by Iran itself,  and today we read straight from the media that Iran reportedly moved to close the Strait of Hormuz after the United States attack.  If they indeed close the Strait of Hormuz and disrupt the oil supply from  the world, we know beyond a shadow of a  doubt that this prophecy about the place called Batzrah from this place that is controlled by Ishmael that is known by the name of Hormuz will lead us to the final war of Gog and Mog. 

But wait it's getting even better -  the Rama [?] in  his commentary on Isaiah chapter 34 verse 6 says:

the word Batzrah is rooted in the word Tzir, which is "strait", and the word "betzara" - [in the time of trouble] - in a place called Batzrah.  Rabbi Laniado  tells us that the Strait has a name: it is the Hormuz Strait that is controlled by Ishmael in these last days.

What is Betsara? What does  Hormuz Strait represent?  What does the place called Batzrah represent?

The Rama does not stop there and he says the following.

Batzrah is also called the "Sitra Achrah"  which is the one of the names of the Satan: Batzrah is Satan's dwelling place of the enemy.   Do you get it?  The prophet is telling us that God is waiting for a vengeance, a final war that is coming, it is coming in the place called betzara - Batzrah. which is one of the names of the Hormuz Strait.  Incredible!  which is the dwelling place of Satan himself.

I have been warning you for now nearly two years that this war that Israel is about  to enter into is unlike any other war, and it is a war that will take place in Heaven, and also here on earth.

It is a war with the Satan himself who is sitting in Hormuz, which is the stronghold of not just Satan, but of Ishmael and Iran. Batzrah is called by the name of "Sitra Achra" and the holy Zohar connected it to  Parshat Vayechi where it says : For one day God will put on a red robe and take a red sword to take vengeance on the ruddy one.  This we learn from the verse "Who is the one that cometh from Edom with dyed garments." 

Who is coming to Batzah? Who is the one who is coming? Right now it is pointing to the coming of the Messiah.  Do you get it? The Messiah's return is imminent right now.  And it says that a great slaughter is going to come to this land. That is a picture of the third world war Gog and Magog.  It is a war unlike any other war before.

Before I freak you out right now, I have a good word for you today as well.  The Ramak [I think that's what he said] explained that in gematria the word "zevach" [sacrifice]  is equivalent to the same value of the word "tov" - [goodness] -  which is what is going to come out of this in the very end of the day  something good is going to come.  The slaughter will lead to the goodness of  the Lord and to the mercy of the Lord. 

Now in Isaiah and also in Psalm 91 we see this word mentioned "Batzrah' - how amazing it is that in Psalm 91 God said "When he call upon me I will answer him, I will be with him in the time of distress i I will rescue him and make him honored." 

What is the Hebrew word "distress"?  In Psalm 91:15 the word distress is the word "betzara" which is the  same word as the word Batzrah which is pointing to Hormuz Strait where exactly the conflict is heading to right now.

So G-d is saying "don't worry, when they will shut down Hormuz when the great trouble will start in the world. I will be with you in Batzrah, I will be with you betzara, I will be with you in distress, Israel  have nothing to worry about, because I will be with you.

Will we enter into Gog and Magog?  You will know in the next few days.  I urge you today to watch the Hormuz Strait and know that even if it will be locked down, even if the world world will enter into WW3, Israel have a promise that G-d will be with us in  Batzrah, in the time of the betzara - great trouble - and He will surely redeem us.

Why Did Everything Suddenly Stop?

Rav Ron Chaya

Not an exact transcription, just a brief summary.

Rav Chaya asks why everything stopped.  People are asking him "where is the Moshiach?"

He again quoted the Yalkut Shimoni and stressed the words about the King of Arabia going to the King of Edom for advice, but then he quotes the words "the King of Persia returns and attacks the whole world".

Where is he returning from? What happened?

Obviously there was a pause, everything stopped.

And then voila! he returns. 

This is what is written in the Midrash and two people already wrote this to me this morning.

So basically we are following the program as set out in the Midrash, don't worry, don't be afraid, and the process is continuing.

In two weeks we will read Parshat Balak where it is written that the people of Israel achieve victories and the son of my friend who is a great Tzadik who sees things that other people do not, said that we will experience this during Parshat Balak this year.

I hope that during Parshat Balak we will indeed see Iran and all it's proxies, who are truly Amalek, we will see their end and we will see Moshiach.

I could be wrong but b'ezrat Hashem I am right.
