Shalom everybody. Welcome back to insights in the par of the week. Parat re and excitement is in the air. We're very close now toash and in breast of circles that means we feel it in the air. In the para we begin to go into laws of Mishna Torah. the re the repetition or retaching of the Torah by Mosheren before leaving this world before the Jews enter the holy land. So there are many things discussed in the para it talks about the sacrifices and then there's a section goes into eating meat you know in other words not sacrificial meat but optional meat okay this is like um chapter 12 verse 20 21 22 23 okay so first of all idea of meat rashi points out also is that a Person shouldn't be accustomed to eating meat. It should be reserved for special occasions. We see for example in kazal in the words of the sages that meat is reserved for times of joy. You know because the the the expression goes there's only happiness over wine and meat.
