emunah. Finally, we have Shavuot, which celebrates receiving the Torah,
which is acquired through self-sacrifice.

“Hashem called to Moshe, and spoke to him
from the Tent of Meeting saying…”

(Vayikra 1:1)

One must bring an olah-offering as atonement for sinning through hirhur
ra (dwelling on forbidden concepts). Hashem does not consider a person
who has a machshavah ra’ah (improper thought) as having committed the
sin that he thought to do. However, a hirhur ra requires atonement
through bringing a sacrifice. What is the difference between them?
It seems that hirhur implies dwelling on forbidden concepts, causing one
to gasp, emitting a gulp of air from his mouth. This gasp gives expression
to the hirhur in a concrete way, creating a sense of gratification.
Therefore, hirhur is unlike a fleeting thought.
The breath of man is also a part of his Godly component and must be
guarded with kedushah. # 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 2 - A | 18-08-19 | 15:24:53 | SR:-- | Black 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 2 - A | 18-08-19 | 15:24:53 | SR:-- | Magenta 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra
