0650 - Hora'os In Avodas Hashem from the Situation 06

00:01 Another lesson in Avodas Hashem that we can take out from the matzah that we're in, the coronavirus, is we find in Shulchan Aruch, in the Ge'eh, the hands which are tomei in the morning. When a person wakes up, the hands are tomei and you've got to wash negel vaser. So it says in Shulchan Aruch, you've got to be careful before negel vaser, and it mentions a few things not to touch. Not to touch with your hand, your eye, your ear, your nose, or your mouth, or any place where there's a wound. And we always wondered, it's a ruchnez deketume, something that you can't see. So what does it matter if it's the eyes or it's the other part of the face? It looks like there's no difference. Here in this virus, we see that they specifically say that the way it could attack a person is mainly through the face, meaning through the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Therefore, you've got to be careful not to touch your face. Not the whole face, but not to touch these places. And we see that from here we see that there is such a thing as a virus, which we can't see, which is a sickness, could affect mainly the person through the eyes or the ears or the nose or the mouth. So from here we could take an understanding, not that it doesn't explain, but it just gives us an insight that there is such a thing in gashmi that makes it easier for us

01:22 to relate to it in ruchnez. That we have a tumah, that the tumah mainly is connected not to touch the eyes, the ears, the nose, and the mouth, and any other wound. And that's similar to this virus. So from this virus, it gives us a closer understanding in the possibility of such a thing that these things are the ones that work the worst. And since we see begashmin says like that, so that gives a heseder to us that when it says the same thing beruchni is just like begashmin is we are afraid to do it. We're afraid to touch our nose, afraid to touch our eyes, etc. Because it's, we know this is the way it could spread. So that'll give us a push to do the same thing when it comes to the ruchnez degepar, the tumah of the dayim, of the hands before negel vaser, to be careful not to touch these places, the eye, the ears, the nose, and the mouth.
