What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Sicha Women Shiur - Project Likkutei Sichos’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

The Reb is going to take a rather technical analysis of what Rashi tells us about how a person becomes to during war and then learn from it an incredible lesson about our connection with Hashem. So obviously we got the war against in this week's parish. Then the Torah tells us after that everybody who was a soldier they were told as follows anybody who had killed somebody or any person who attached a corpse they had to person who attached a corpse they had to go through a purification process. So Rashi takes the words and it's very important which words he chooses. He takes the words any person who's killed somebody and explains as follows. Rabime over here is telling us specifically that this tum only applies if the weapon used to kill this person was a weapon that is susceptible to tum through this theory is teaching us that the weapon causes the person who's involved in killing somebody else to become as if they were touching the dead body themselves even though they're not they're touching the sword or whatever they were using then Rashi says Then you think maybe if you shoot an arrow at somebody you become impure as well. Therefore the continues and somebody who touches a corpse becomes impure to teach you to compare killing to touching. to compare killing to touching. Just like a person can only become impure by touching a dead body if they actually touch it. So likewise a person can only become impure by killing somebody if there is direct contact between them and that person even that direct contact is through the weapon that they're using the first thing that theb queries is for is in the rash is quoting is quoted in the only thing is
