What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Moshe Meir Weiss’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

So there's an obvious question. They seem The words am ol ahem seem to be superfluous. It should say K'dei sivohu es B'nei Yisrael Y'varechecha Hashem v'yishmerecha. Obviously, if you're going to bless them, you're going to be saying to them. What does it mean K'dei sivohu es B'nei Yisrael and then saying uh redundantly am ol ahem? So the Kedushas Levi the heilige Berditchever Zekutsal Baruch Yagen Lanu asked this question. Yagen Lanu asked this question. And he says that there's another meaning to the word emor. And that is to declare the person or the people unique. It says Hashem hemar to hayoin. The Gemara Brachot says Hashem declares you unique today. It says about Yisrael echod ba'aretz, a unique nation in the on earth. earth. So am ol ahem says the Kedushas Levi means that you should make them important. You should make them prestigious. You should elevate them. This answers another question. Because when the Kohanim make a Bracha, they say asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav. All right? What's the loshon of the Bracha? What's the loshon of the Bracha? That Hashem gave us a mitzvah l'varech es amo Yisrael b'ahavah. To bless the nation of Yisrael with love. Asher kid'shanu b'kidushaso shel Aharon v'tzivanu l'varech es amo Yisrael b'ahavah. With love. With love. Where do you see in the parashah we are we're learning the parashah Birchas Kohanim? It doesn't say anywhere that it should be with love. Ah, but if you learn like the Kedushas Levi amo lahem amo lahem means to elevate them to make them prestigious. It means that you should do it with love. That's what you do to a person that you love. You elevate them. It's interesting
