Dear friends, welcome to this week's virtual. This week we have the incredible privilege paras and again we're going to be reading it early shab this morning because many of us are going to be diving early in order to be able to have our sudos before this of is the prohibition but nevertheless we have to pay a little bit more attention to the para because it's probably going to happen pretty quickly this shab this morning and the para begins continuing in the theme of sacrificial law the begins as follows says to Moshe the following tell Aaron and his sons or command and Aaron and his son saying to this is the laws of the and the then proceeds to give the concerning the offering. The ola was a unique offering because the ola was fully consumed on the misb as opposed to other carbonos where many carbonos part of it was consumed on the misb so to speak went to hashem part of it goes to the kahan and even other carbonos part of it went to the went to the owner of the carban's unique no one gets a portion of it it's totally foresh fully consumed and says something amazing is intrigued it doesn't say but rather it says it says Command him. Command him. And says means to be elacritous, to be vigilant, to be diligent, elacrate like. So the obvious sh is why why do you have to use that over here? Why? Why the need to use that expression of zizos, of elacritus, vigilance, diligence? Why why do you need that here? It's iron. It's iron. It's kohanim. You know in general
