Divrei Torah Baer Heitev

Ba'er Heitev | December 10, 2025

פרש"י בע' לשון. דברי תורה, שמחה וחיזוק.

This is the ordinance of the Torah which Hashem has commanded, saying, speak to the Bnei Yisroel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, which has no blemish, and upon which never came yoke: (19:2)

A person who considers himself faultless obviously has not yet accepted the yoke of the Kingdom of Hashem. Had he accepted the yoke of the Kingdom of Hashem at all, he would know that he still has many faults.

The Chozeh of Lublin ZY”A

Chukoh (decree) is from the language of Chakikoh (engraved)

The Torah is obligatory to be engraved in the heart of a person – Zos Chukas HaTorah.

Sefer Ba’er Moshe – Sefer Pininei HaTorah

The greatness of the Mitzvah of Poroh Adumoh

It is explained in Rashi, since the Sutton and Nations of the World tease Klall Yisroel “What is this Mitzvoh and its reason in it?” etc. behold all the Mitzvos are cherished than gold and sweeter than honey. And every person who serves Hashem Yisborach {G-D} senses the great taste accomplishing them. If so, is this not the most important Avodoh (service), that a Yid to do even without a feeling of taste or sweetness, but only for the sake of Hashem Himself. If so the Mitzvoh that does not have a Ta’am is greater and more esteemed. This is the Inyon (idea) of Poroh Adumoh. And this is what Rashi explains, that this Mitzvoh is Chukas HaTorah, why, since the Sutton and Nations tease us about such a Mitzvoh specifically, saying what reason is it. That itself is the secret of the greatness of this Mitzvoh.
