Ki Seitzei - Holding Onto Our Simanim

You're learning Perik Elim Tzias, which is about Avedis.

Finding, seeking, finding lost objects.

And this is really what the whole Avedi of Chodesh El is.

The whole Avedi of Chodesh El is finding Uvo Ho'Oivdim.

The whole parasha of the Isha Sifas Toya, the beginning of this week's parasha, as we discussed after davening one of these days, was the idea of the Eshes Yefas Toyah as carrying a lost Yiddish Neshama.

And the beautiful Eshes Yefas Toyah is the beautiful Neshama that shines.

And the whole parish of a soldier getting drawn towards this Eshes Yefas Toyah, attracted to the Eshes Yefas Toyah is in order to bring lost Neshamas home.

And this is really something that we are busy with, and something that every Eid has to be busy with.

Every Eid has to make a chesh ben ha-nefesh, how many lost neshamas there are.

And when you think of lost neshamas, you don't only have to be thinking of neshamas that are stuck in Florida.

There's neshamas our own, there's halakim of our own neshamas stuck all over the place.

A yeed does an aveira, a yeed distances himself one day from Hashem, so parts of his neshamas go astray.

Bifrat in the Avera that's rampant today, the Avera that is related to the Indian Pagam Abris that sends out Kedusha, sparks of Kedusha to the Goyim and they capture it and they're holding on to it.

The whole Chodesh El is the month of Gathering together, tshuva means to return.

Gathering together all the avudim, all the lost sparks.

That's the shoifa.

Every day we hear the shoifa.

We have to make a cheshvan nevesh that all the lost parts of ourselves and all other yidn have to come back to the shoresh.
