Shabbat Shalom
(21:17-21) Somebody that has a defect cannot bring the bread in the Temple, and my not bring sacrifices.
When it comes to the service of H' and representing the congregation, we have to live by standards. The point of today's sermon is to not go into the detail of the Kohen and the laws regarding Kohamin. What we speak about today is the way you people represent the Jewish people...
Some people show up to services all dressed like shlumps. Then you smell bad. There has to be a way to smell decent on a Shabbat day. Think of ways of not sweating for a day. Maybe take off some weight, so you don't sweat when you sit. There is a reason for the laws of 'Divrei Chol,' staying away from things you do during the week.I understand that in the case of this shule, that would not mean exercise...
(22:3) If an impure Kohen brings a sacrifice, they will be cut off from before H.'
Again, we see a standard, that must be followed.
The Chazan? Iron your shirt. You stand before the congregation and represent them...You are impure because you haven't put up a load in...
Yes, you will be cut off, with your ego which says 'I am the one.' You are not the one. You have a calling. You are called upon to be Kodesh to H.' And to be Holy, that must be done within the guidelines and rules of what we are expected to be Holy as...
Being clean is not enough: (22:15) And you shall not profane the Kadshim of Israel that they bring to H.'
Rashi explains that this means allowing non-Kohanim to eat them.
As clean as he may be, a non-Kohen may not eat of the Kodesh.
We must know our place. Unlike Chaim who has been trying to Hagbah (lifting the Torah) for many years, and still can't lift the Torah...Embarrassing...We have to be in a state of Holiness, when we practice what we do. We have to be the right person for the job and doing it clean.
There is a proper state to practice our calling, and that is never with a uni-brow.
