פרשת אמור
Parshas Emor
כל מלאכה לא תעשו חקת עולם לדורותיכם (אמור כג:לא)
You shall not do any work; it is an eternal decree throughout your generationsThe words “חוקת עולם לדורותיכם” – pertains to “כל מלאכת עבודה לא תעשה” – it is prohibited to perform any work on Yom Kippur in all generation, forever.” However, the commandment of fasting on Yom Kippur says only “חוקת עולם” and not “לדורותיכם”.
Because the commandment of fasting on Yom Kippur wasn’t for all generations because, at the Chanukas Habayis of the Beis Hamikdash, which Shlomo Hamelech built, the Yidden didn’t fast on Yom Kippur, therefore, “לדורותיכם” only applies on all other prohibitions of Yom Kippur.
