Shalom everybody and welcome back to insights in the para of the week para shim. We're now also in the first week of El which is very meaningful because of the the force and the propelling attitude of this month for compassion for chuva for closeness to Hashem. It's just unbelievable. So this week's para has many many laws right we'd like to go into one of them found in the first aliyah the end of rishon. We're talking about chapter 17 from verses 8 to 12 to to 13. I'll quickly go through them and then we'll present the insight we'd like to present based on and taken from uh the insights of Rabbi Aman's teachings. So verse 8 chapter 17 reads like this talks about the case of what's called in the language of the sages. It's not found in the verse. The language of the kazal in the garra is zaken mam an an an elder a sage who goes against who's mored me he does he doesn't want to accept the the ruling of the high high the high judicial court of the san in Jerusalem of the 71 sages. So let's take a look inside. If something the conclusion of a of a difficulty of Allah is beyond you, you don't know the sages says are in dispute. Some say it's permissible, some say it's forbidden, some say it's kosher, non-cooser, pure, impure, whatever the law is, there is there's this there's different different opinions. I don't want to say strife. You can't say strife between the sages on a specific ruling. What is the ruling? It's beyond the person.
