T HE R ASHI OF THE W EEK Week of Parshas Matos-Massei Tammuz 27, 5783 – July 15, 2023 Shnas Hakhel Compiled from the works of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson The Lubavitcher Rebbe By Rabbi Shmuel Mendelsohn North Miami Beach, FL A Project of Vaad L’Hafotzas Sichos Copyright 2023© THE RASHI OF THE WEEK An Outline of the Rebbe's Explanation of Rashi Parshas Matos-Massei Likkutei Sichos Volume 38, Pages 122 – 126 Rashi in His Own Words ‫ צַ ו אֶ ת בְּ נֵי יִשְּ ָראֵ ל וְּ אָ מַ ְּרתָ אֲ לֵהֶ ם כִ י אַ תֶ ם בָ אִ ים אֶ ל הָ אָ ֶרץ כְּ נָעַן ז ֹאת הָ אָ ֶרץ אֲשֶ ר תִ פֹ ל לָ כֶם בְּ נַ חֲ לָה אֶ ֶרץ כְּ נַ עַן‬:'‫ ב‬,‫במדבר ל"ד‬ : ָ‫לִ גְּ בֹֻלתֶ יה‬ ‫ הוצרך לכתוב מצרני‬,‫ לפי שהרבה מצות נוהגות בארץ ואין נוהגות בחוצה לארץ‬:'‫רש"י ד"ה זאת הארץ אשר תפול לכם וגו‬ :‫ לומר לך מן הגבולים הללו ולפנים המצות נוהגות‬,‫גבולי רוחותיה סביב‬ Bamidbar 34:2: Command the children of Israel and say to them, “When you arrive in the land of Canaan, this is the land which shall fall to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its borders.” Rashi Heading: This is the land which shall fall to you: Since many Mitzvos apply to the Land of Israel and do not apply outside the Land, the Torah found it necessary to chart the outer limits of its boundaries from all sides, to inform you that the precepts apply everywhere within these borders.
