Parshas Naso 2023 - Short Dvar Torah

Speaker 1: What is the difference between a camp counselor and a buzzer? I surmise that it's not very much. Think about it for a second, And let me explain. A buzzer has taken a vow of abstinence not to drink wine, not to be meta mi lemon, go into cemeteries, and not get a haircut. Every camp counselor, if you spend a month in the Catskills, you'll probably not get a haircut. It always falls out. In Saphira, you know, barber, you can't get a haircut. The chances that you're going to drink wine, you're always busy, you got to take care of things. So in cemeteries, you're acting fiercely like a buzzer for 30 days. What's the difference? 

Speaker 1: Why is the Nazarene described as a safe, as a wonderous, as a marvelous person, according to Evan Ezra? Why is he considered someone who has the crown of the Almighty on his head? What's the difference? He's just a camp counselor. He's not having some wine, not going to cemeteries, not getting haircuts. What's the big deal, says Rav Yeruchim, an unbelievable, new, novel insight. Do you know what the difference is? Kiyafli, lindor, neder. He committed Nazir la Hazir, la Shem, to do it for the Almighty. Do you know the difference between a camp counselor and a Nazir? One dedicated to taking this step forward, to upgrade his life for the Almighty, and one just did it but didn't think of it a sorcery. No, kabbalist commitments are robust. I ask you what it would look like. What would it be, indeed, in particular at all, if the Jewish people never said Nazir la Hades, never accepted the Torah, never had a Kabbalos at Torah, but then just continued to live their lives over the next thousands of years carrying out the 613 and fulfilling Shulchan Aruch, doing the mitzvos? 

Speaker 1: I don't imagine it's much if you never took the commitment to become Jewish if you never bought into the fraternity of this great brotherhood. You must be a Lindor, neder, nazir la Hazir la Shem, a commitment, a Kabbalah for Hashem. That makes you Kadoosh, and the Kiddish is even The new. Novel insight is even on things that you already possibly do. I imagine there's a month in your life.. I hope there's a month in your life that you went by and you didn't drink wine. You didn't get a haircut for a month, and y into a cemetery. 

Speaker 1: What's the difference, though? How do you upgrade your life? How do you become Kadoosh la Hashem when you commit to doing it,,, And you commit to doing it for the Almighty? If you already give that to the devil, commit to doing it and do it for the Almighty. You already dabbin', put on film, say creation, commit to doing it for the Almighty. And even for just 30 days, you become. Yahfli says Heaven as is. You become wondrous, miraculous, marvelous. You become someone with the crown of Hashem on your head. You can become a modern-day version of the buzzer.
