2 shiurim for Parshas Masei
An exploration of why the Torah connects the prohibitions of murder and flattery, revealing how giving someone false illusions about themselves is a form of spiritual killing that distances them from authentic self-assessment.
A human being has an inherent right to live. This right comes from man's ability to have free choice. This gives a tremendous chashivus to the human life. When people don't recognize a borei olam then man is no different then a monkey. When a person kills he is saying that the victim had no right to exist. The goail hadam is the validation of the existence of a person. The blood of the victim is screaming out for revenge. The earth was cursed for swallowing the blood of Hevel. When we avenge the person's death then it is a kapara for the sin of the land.
