It is a law that one who entered the Beit Hamikdash through the northern

Generally, a person gets used to good things. This is true regarding his
home, as well. However, he should be careful to always take note and
admire the virtues of his wife anew. This is to ensure that he does not get
used to her good qualities and therefore neglect thanking her for her good
deeds.

It says, “He shall be brought to Aharon the Kohen,” even if the afflicted
person himself is a Kohen who is a Torah scholar. This is because a
person gets accustomed to his ways and cannot judge himself objectively.
The word (affliction) shares the same letters as the word
(pleasure), indicating that anything that brings a person pleasure makes
him subjective to it. Therefore, he cannot decide impartially concerning
the matter.
It says, “But salvation [lies] in much counsel.” The reason for this is
because a person is subjective. Therefore, it is advisable for him to consult
with a wise person, who is able to enlighten him. We learn this lesson

simple issues, as it says, “The bashful person cannot learn.” 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 10 - B | 18-08-19 | 15:24:55 | SR:-- | Black 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 10 - B | 18-08-19 | 15:24:55 | SR:-- | Cyan 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 10 - B | 18-08-19 | 15:24:55 | SR:-- | Magenta #26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EY
