Parashat Beaalotcha (When you kindle the lamps)
In this section we read about a group of people who were impure
and could not eat the Passover sacrifice.
According
to the Midrash, they were impure because they were carrying Joseph's coffin.
They
became impure for fulfilling a mitzvah which is a little bit of a
contradiction.
This
teaches us that it is incorrect to think that having dirty hands always means
you have been doing "dirty" tasks.
Sometimes
those who have "dirty" hands and their feet in the mud are those who
achieve a higher level of holiness.
