Parshas Metzorah (5774)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Rashi 14:34 relates that the forty years Bnei Yisroel was in the desert the Canaanim hid their treasures in the walls which were discovered at the time of the nigai habayis. Why did they hide them during that time? Was it out of fear, like a vulture circulating around them? Perhaps we can say it was the mesiras nefesh of Clal Yisroel, their absolute sacrifice of all materialism. Can you imagine in the desert 40 years, no supermarket. Even with the miracles of the food one must be on a tremendous level of ruchnius. Hashem says: Kol hashomayah li aino mafsid.

Prepare for Pesach by learning the Hagaddah. Have a wonderful Shabbos.
