In the fifth chapter of the Treaty of Avot, the twentieth mishnah, the sages draw an interesting contrast between our father Abraham, peace be upon him, and Bilam the wicked. " Anyone who has these three qualities is part of the disciples of our father Avraham, and [who has] three other quality is part of the disciples of the wicked Bilam: kindly, modest and humble soul spirit is among the disciples of Avraham our father, evil eye, mind and spirit immodest superb Bilam is among the disciples of the wicked. What is the difference between the disciples of Abraham our father and the disciples of the wicked Bilam? The disciples of Abraham our father, eat this world and inherit the world to come, as it is said: 'There is much to bequeath to those who love me, and I will fill their treasures'. And instead of the disciples of the wicked inherit Bilam Gheinnam and fall into the abyss, as it is said: 'And you, oh D., will make them fall into the abyss, men of blood and deceit will not come to half of their day, while I will trust in You. "Dispel Emet The wonders if there are not enough evil around that excel in these qualities by having to take a negative model Bilam. That's wrong Bilam special? Dispel the Emet says that apparently Bilam bends to the will of D., the seeds of his evil is to consider that this merits special credits. Bilam boasts of titles that did not, " one who knows the thoughts of the Most " and so on, as if his statement was worth some kind of submission to the merits. Not this is the virtue of the just Abraham our father, who has said and I am dust and ashes, teaches us true humility, that those who vanish completely before D. They do not try classifications and titles. It is well known that when the Masters were great really did not have any title, but too often far from the great masters of the generation of long titles boast ten times their name. Dispel the Emet reports on behalf of the Baal Shem Tov, the second part of our Mishnah is the one that describes the nature of the righteous: the disciples of our father Abraham are those who eat in this world and inherit half of what the future world. That the righteous shall enter through their daily behavior, the Divine light of the future world in this world. In practice this is reflected in the first of quality. The eye. In the Treaty of Berachot the Talmud tells us that the Holy One, blessed be He, is angry every day. The anger of the Lord endures forever a "rega" small measure of time. The Talmud says that a "rega" is the measure of time it takes to pronounce the word "rega". The size of Bilam was that he knew when this happened. He thought that if he could express his curse at that time this was accepted by the Lord. Tosafot spot ever wonder what the curse may be expressed in an instant (Rega). And that answer would have meant Bilam "callem", "destroy." But the Lord has turned the curse into a blessing Bilam, literally turning the word "callem" read backward from "Melech", "King." Bilam is when the Lord wanted to destroy a witness that they have proclaimed their king, "said Rabbi Elazar: He told them the Holy One Blessed be He to Israel: 'We know how many acts of justice I have done with you [the fact] that I was not angry in the days of Bilam the evil, because if I would not stay angry enemies of Israel (euphemism for Israel) anyone or anything. So Bilam said to Balak, "How can I curse? God has not cursed. How can I be angry? The Lord is not angry. [This] shows that [the Lord] was not angry at all those days. ''(TB Berachot 7a) Bilam So look for the only time in which D. is angry. In contrast, just with their prayers are always looking razon successful age, time of will, at that moment in which God, Benedict is more inclined to accept our prayer in order to benefit the entire world. Bilam look for the negative point, the righteous good point. According to Dispel Emet, the three qualities of our Mishnah are parallel to the three daily prayers. Because the root of prayer is your total submission before D. But the Master of Gur takes another step and Mishna tells us that this is also particularly close to Erez Israel and the possession of Erez Israel, which refers to the second part of the Mishnah: 'There is much to bequeath to those who love me, and I will fill their treasures'. The people of Israel receives Erez Israel thanks to our father Abraham and his three quality is maintained on it through these three qualities. The certificate confirming this relationship are the Shalosh Regalim, those same three parties that Bilam according to the Midrash wanted to cancel. Pesach with Lechem oni, bread of the poor is the humble soul is freed from material desires to signal the true freedom. Shavuot with the giving of the Torah is the humble spirit (ruach nemuchà Lett. Low Spirit), because the Torah as the water falls down and is very modest people. Succoth with juice and open to all offers that Israel takes all the seventy nations of the earth is the good eye of those who do not he envies. It is the joy of one who is pleased with his side without regard to the next is actually the time of our joy. Precisely for that reason, explains the Dispel Emet, Abraham and his descendants deserve Erez Israel, Erez Israel because it is from the Divine revelation which expands throughout the world. The feasts of Israel are then the statement of the reason why the Land of Israel was given to Abraham and his descendants, and it is in these three periods of the year that the relationship between D. His Torah, His people and His land is consolidated. I would try to explain this on a particular trail in the Treaty of the Mishnah Yoma, which we are studying these days in the cycle of Daf IOMI. The Terumat haDeshen, the rite by which the ash is removed from the previous day's offerings from the altar is the first of the day in the shrine. We have focused on it in the past, we will say only that in fact it precedes the daily service. Throughout the year the Terumat haDeshen, is made in conjunction with the crowing of the cock (some say with the announcement of the Supervisor of the Temple, but anyway) near dawn and the morning offering of Tamid. On the day of Yom Kippur is anticipated that operation at midnight because it must be done, like the rest of the service of Yom Kippur the High Priest, the which will have a very tight schedule during the day and is relieved by a substantial anticipation of this operation. On holidays however the transaction is anticipated even in the first third of the night, due to the mass of Jews who were huddled in the courtyard of the Temple to be ready, as soon as he arose on the day to submit their bids. The Terumat haDeshen is the rite by which essentially reiterates the Temple service and is the link that binds the day and night. Day and night are symbolic in the tradition of Jewish exile and redemption. The Temple service is only possible during the day, and so even in the era of redemption. At night, in exile, can be burn only what is already offered in the daytime. And we have seen in the past as the Sages tell us that in the same way on the night of the redemption of our worship is necessarily based on the management (through the study) of what has already been established and properly exercised under conditions of redemption. It seems to me that the movement of Terumat haDeshen and its anticipation have a significant message of redemption. The night of Yom Kippur, through fasting and repentance we have the ability to anticipate the Terumat haDeshen until midnight, causing our repentance with the anticipation of redemption as it is said " at the time, it will hasten . But it is the joy of parties that this capacity is multiplied coming until the first vigil. The Terumat haDeshen advance that there is more that of the parties, due to the fact that the courtyard of the Temple and Jerusalem, all are filled with Jews who've been through the party. It is the joy of the presence Jerushalaim that we find the key to illuminate the night with the light of the exile of the Temple service. It is relatively easy to find in the way of the holy day of Yom Kippur through coercion and fasting. It is more difficult, but for this most valuable find its way into the Shrine of the festivals celebrated with joy am in Erez Israel israel. It is this joy that God will soon Benedict Terumat haDeshen of missing of his people and redeem us completely with the coming of the Messiah King. Shabbat Shalom
