| Dear Friend,
We are pleased to present an by the Rebbe on parshat Vayikra, excerpted from Daily Wisdom by Rabbi Moshe Wisnefsky.
Constant Renewal G-d taught Moses about sin-offerings for common individuals. "If his sin that he committed is made known to him, he must bring his sacrifice, an unblemished female goat, for his sin that he committed." (Lev. 4:28)
If a person committed the same sin on multiple occasions, the rule is that he should offer up a sin-offering for each instance of transgression.
This demonstrates how we are constantly evolving; in a sense, we become a different person from moment to moment. Thus, the person who committed the sin the first time is not the same person who committed the sin the second time, and therefore a different process of return and atonement is required for each. The positive side of this perspective on life is that we should never think that we have exhausted our potential for spiritual growth.
Each day and each moment we become a new person, different from who we were before by virtue of the experiences that have added their lessons and imprints on us. Thus, as we are constantly re-created, a constantly new and different storehouse of spiritual power is available to us, helping us fulfill our Divine mission in life.
