A Man Always Needs to Be a Gantzer Knocker

Bitachon Weekly | June 27, 2025

Although a person may be healed from his Negga and is already Tahor, it’s meaningless until the Cohen says that he’s Tahor. And the same with the worst: ַמ ְר ֶא ָט ה ֵמ א unhealthy discoloration of the skin; until the Cohen says that he’s Tamei, he’s not Tamei! The Eibishter made an Adam a major Koach in His word. Notice how Man always needs to be a “Gantzer Knocker”.

ַא ַﬠ ף ִפּ ל ֶשׁ י ֵאשׁ יוֹ ֶר ֶד ִמ ת ַה ן ָשׁ ַמ ִי ִמ ם ְצ ָו ְל ה ָה ִב ִמ אי ַה ן ֶה ְדיוֹט ב אכ אמוי Even though the fire [on the Mizbeach] descended from Heaven, the Mitzva requires that a HUMANLY produced fire be brought as well!

In last week’s Parsha, we have: ףוֹעָה ןִמ וּצְקַּשְׁתּ הֶלֵּא תֶאְו גי אי These types of birds shall be rejected BY YOU, and even by: ףוֹעָה ץֶרֶשׁ flying insects it says: םֶכָל אוּה ץֶקֶשׁ יא כג they should be rejected BY YOU; i.e. YOU have to make them disgusting [as if they weren’t disgusting before you came along]. If you have a problem but you don’t say that you have a problem, then you have no problem!
