Parshas Beha'aloscha: Pesach Sheni and Moshe's Tefillah

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Where does Rashi find that on Pesach Sheni chametz is forbidden only while eating the korban? The Minchas Chinuch finds no source, and the Meshech Chochma learns it from eating the korban with matzah, a lav that comes from an aseh. In Rav Shach's reading, Rashi allows chametz even together with the korban. With Miriam's tzaraas, the Maggid, the primary talmid of the Baal Shem, ties Moshe Rabbeinu's tefillah with the name Kel to Hashem's answer by kal vachomer.

Key points

• The Meshech Chochma learns Rashi's chametz issur from eating the korban together with matzah.
• Rav Shach punctuates Rashi so that chametz can be eaten together with the korban.
• The Maggid pairs Kel, first middah of rachamim, with kal vachomer, first middah of drash.
