Emor Essay

Emor

Imarot HaShem Taharot, The Medrash is bothered by how a person can indeed become Tahor- pure.
HaShem created the whole world with Ma’amar (Asara ma’amarot), and therefore it is the ma’amar that gives it purity. This is the meaning of Emor v’amarta, HaShem made us one and we make Him one, (Chativa).ie connection.
True freedom is therefore to be mevatel oneself to be a part of HaShem.
We received this complete oneness with HaShem in Yetziat Mitzrayim. A gift beyond our understanding and logic. After that comes sefirat ha’omer where we want to bring all these gifts down into ourselves. The way we do that is with Midos, (each day has a certain mida). The meaning of a mida is a limit, And bringing the chiyus of HaShem into the world in all these elements is called a Mida.
Therefore in as much as a person brings the chiyus of HaShem into each and every Mida, ie: The desire to bring all of one’s traits of love and fear and eternity towards HaShem that they should all be managed in the way the HaShem wants them to be exactly.
And therefore in as much as a person brings into his life that light from HaShem (nekuda rishona) to all the midos of his soul, in that amount he pushes out all the impurities and the thoughts that aren’t Godly and becomes more pure.

This too is the same pattern by Shabos and the days of the week. Where on Shabbos there is a great gift from HaShem and during the days of the week our job is to bring them into our physical world.

This is also the meaning of Emor Vamarta Aleihem tell them the meaning of all klal yisrael, that HaShem brings us close so that we can become a part of klal yisrael. (Chativa achas)
Veamarta aleihem (By teaching others and giving it over and becoming a part of the Klal) this shows that we accept his Amirot in all of our midot and desires and from that comes the purity.
