Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein 2023 / 5783 Pshuto PSHUTOShel Mikra SHEL MIKRA From the Teachings of Rav Yehuda Copperman zt”l Parshat Shemini “Before and After” in the Teachings of the Seforno—Maachalot Asurim ‫זֹאת הַ חַ יָּה אֲשֶ ׁר תֹ ּאכְ לּו‬ These are the living creatures that you may eat (Vayikra 11:2) A “General” Mitzvah in Torat Kohanim The topic of Maachalot Asurim—forbidden foods—is the first mitzvah mentioned in Chumash Vayikra that has no direct connection to matters of korbanot. As we will see, his approach goes beyond the specific mitzvah of Maachalot Asurim and addresses the general question of the locations of different mitzvot throughout the Chumashim: After Yisrael were stripped of their spiritual ornaments which they had attained at the time of Matan Torah1 and through which they were deemed worthy that the Shechinah would dwell in their midst without the need for an intermediary, as it says (Shemot 20:21), “‫ — בְּ כָ ל הַ מּ ָ קו ֹם אֲ שֶ ׁר ַאזְ כִּ יר אֶ ת שְ ׁמִ י ָאבו ֹא אֵ לֶ יָך ּובֵ רַ כְ תִּ יָך‬In every place where I allow My Name to be mentioned I will come to you and bless you,” [and which will again pertain in the future, as it says, (Vayikra 26:11) “‫ — וְ נָתַ תִּ י מִ שְ ׁכּ ָ נִ י בְּ תו ֹכְ כֶ ם‬I will place My dwelling among you,”] Hashem refused to have the Shechinah dwell among them at all,2 as it says (Shemot 33:3) “‫ — כִּ י ֹלא אֶ עֱ לֶ ה בְּ קִ רְ בְּ ָך‬For I will not ascend in your midst.” Through his tefillah, Moshe Rabbeinu achieved a partial rectification that the Shechinah would reside among them through the medium of the Mishkan, its vessels, its attendants (servants), and offerings,3 so that they merited and attained (the level described as) “‫ — וַ יּ ֵרָ א כְ בו ֹד ה' אֶ ל כּ ָ ל הָ עָ ם‬Hashem’s Glory appeared unto the People” (Vayikra 9:23), and to the fire descending from Heaven (ibid., pasuk 24).
