CHABAD ‫ב"ה‬ RESEARCH UNIT Summaries of points of the Rebbe’s Chassidic Discourses ‫בלי אחריות כלל וכלל‬ ‫ד"ה זאת חוקת התורה פרשת כי תשא תשכ"ו בלתי מוגה‬ Published for Shabbat Sedra Ki Tisa Parshat Parah 18 Adar 5783, 11 March 20231 CHANGING DARK TO LIGHT AND BITTER TO SWEET HE PASSAGE ABOUT THE RED HEIFER BEGINS ‘THIS IS THE T STATUTE OF THE TORAH’. Moses acts with the merit of the Patriarchs before him, but this is his special quality, as it says about him in Psalms (106:23): ‘[G-d] said He would destroy [the Jewish people], but Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him to turn aside His anger, that it should not destroy’. This also explains the nature of the Red Heifer, because this has a special association with Moses: the verse says ‘they should bring to you a red heifer’ (Num.19:2) and Rashi says ‘it will always be called by your name: the heifer which Moses prepared’. This is the special power of Moses: to make the bitter sweet, and hence he had the power to plead for the Jewish people and transform their bitterness (of the sin of the Golden Calf) to the sweetness of forgiveness.

For almost all the Mitzvot have a pronounced physical aspect, like Tefilin and the scrolls within them, which are made of the hide of animals (and the entire Torah is compared to Tefilin4) . Rashi says it is called a statute because the nations mock Israel on account of this law2, which seemingly has no rationale, so the response is that this is a Divine statute, beyond Reason. The power to sweeten the bitter is the special power of Moses, through which, ultimately, the darkness and bitterness of Exile will be changed to light and sweetnes
