Rabbi David Kaplan - Weekly Torah Portion: Bechukotai - Part 1

let's take a look at uh paragraph of i'm gonna go back to what he called afterwards we'll go back to uh after afterwards we're gonna come back to the beginning because if we have time at the end of the week uh so take let's start with perric where we were yesterday um page 708 okay so taurus says like this very very very interesting now now we're going to get into a little i'll get into like you have to use your heads a little bit um i mean a little bit more so torah says like this first the taurus says if you follow we spoke yesterday about amelus about torah if you learn torah properly and then it says there will be peace in the land and then in uh uh pick it up for the possible fifth line on page 708. you'll lie down and nobody will frighten you at night there's nothing like you know when you go to sleep at night and you want to be able to sleep without any uh any sort of fear um there are people who have panic attacks people like who have panic eyes i wouldn't had a period i went through panic attacks i think my wife was out with my credit card i was i was i was having panic at day you know you know also for stuff for no reason you just get up in the middle night and you're just panicked you know they you know there's medication for it there's uh what do you call it so people people it's a blessing i am america once got into a cab and the cab driver was complaining about his son he was having trouble with then he said you know i don't sleep and i never get that that sweet sleep you call it you know it's never a sweet sleep you know it's a broken to be able to sleep properly and healthy sleep is necessary sleep is something that many people actually practice and perfect so you said to be able to sleep with peace so there's no there's no noise outside and there's no shooting and there's nobody called we we live in a we live in what do you call it in the vehicle so right up the hill that not i mean it's not that close but there's an arab there's an arab village next to us you know and every friday night you know they have their costumes over there they're the weddings and they're shooting every last friday night we heard machine gun fire i know it must have been a big wedding you know they they you know they shoot off guns they literally shoot off guns they had one incident in israel where the brother the brother of the cousin got killed at the wedding you know they shot off guns and then they played with guns that's what happens you know brother the hustler got shot he got shot at the wedding you know and then sometimes here you're here it's late friday night we're at the sunday we're finishing the city ready to go sleep and all of a sudden here it is shooting and fireworks the whole thing so here it says that you'll be able to sleep at night meanwhile there'll be no wild animals the hair of lost no sword will pass through your land now take a look at what rashi says here the revlon it's uh um in the right-hand column sorry in the right column not the right-hand column right it's right here i don't think the right hand you have a right foot also in the right foot column uh two lines from the bottom um says rashi ain't sorry lo marshall evola mohammed there's no need to say that people won't come to fight you that obviously they yeah you know you know there's no broker if your enemies are going to come are going to come to fight you ella affilo love or derek there will no be arm there will no armor there will be no armies that will cross through your land to go fight somewhere else now why does the torah mention that as a bracha why is it a bronco they have no armies crossings they are not bothering us they're going to fight somebody else you know the face the the the who's fighting now you know you get the uh the jordanians want to go fight the egyptians so they happen to go crossing through our land you know what do i care go ahead you know just go right through the torah says even that won't happen why not because like whenever that happens usually they're conquesting in villages correct those swords even even a good sword is not a good sword you know the the only good sword is no sword you know if an army comes across i mean that's what happened that's what happened in the crusades you know the crusaders were going to fight the uh the what he called the crusaders were going to fight the uh the the yeshumailim in jerusalem right they were underway but as you walk as you cross through jewish villages you know you may as well wipe out a few jews while you're at it swords are never a good thing for the jews when the whites of the in in the in in the russia when they had the revolution the reds versus the whites right and jews are caught in the middle you're always it's it's it's just not a good thing the torah says no sword will will pass through your land okay now focus really well on what happens uh on what happens now okay you will chase your enemies but no flu lift they will fall before you by the sword now pay attention very carefully to pasukkaes the rudful became hamisha maya five of you will chase a hundred um a hundred of you revolver your dovah will chase ten thousand vin nuff lue vega mccarven again it repeats your enemies will fall before you by the sword now uh right off the bat you should be bothered by something in this passage five of you will chase we'll chase we'll chase a hundred in in in a hundred of you will chase ten thousand something should bother you the ratio the math doesn't work out five j is a hundred so what should the ratio be 100 will chase 2 000 100 chase 2 not 100 takes 10 000. so rashi right here on the spot says well we see here in the torah that that you can't compare when few people do the mitzvahs to when many do the mitzvahs when many are doing the mitzvos our strength grows exponentially not proportionally spread david and it just does it doesn't mean that you're they it does it's not 10 people who've doubted it's not one person times 10. it's a brand new potency it's not one person times 10. it's one person versus t it's one person with a pistol versus 10 kalashnikovs then it's 10 collapse it goes versus 100 bazookas you understand the the strength of each individual grows put exponentially as he becomes part of the community by the way that's an important point you know why that is when you dive and when you dive in why is it so important with the meaning there's a practical reason and there's a more for lack of a better word of spiritual reason right what's the practical reason david in a minion is there a certain kind of note that you might miss that people who have them transfer them to you that's already getting onto a spiritual level that's right you're right that's getting on the spiritual level but what's the most basic practical level when i'm dominating by myself there you go there you go when you're down at home you become one of these multi-talented people who's able to dive in and read the newspaper at the same time the amazing thing you're able to dive in and you're able to dive in and check your check your wedding call check your ipod at the same time when you're diving and show in your shorts or in your pajamas depending on what depending on what the situation when you're in show you're on your best behavior and you put on a little bit of a show for the guy next to you so you should see how spiritual you are even though the night before the two you were in a bar together but you want to show but what you know what what a good jew you are and what ends up happening is because you're putting on the show it affects you when you dive with mark havana and you're in an environment you're dressed like a normal person as opposed to a tarzan and you you you what he called you uh uh you're david with cavada and you also catch samia mania hey rabbas and you answer kaddish she does the norm koda share and the environment affects you because the environment is everything and you're in a very very tolerant environment you're very very conducive vibrant side effects you're failing number one number two there's a deeper reason that's the practical reason that's why men need it and women don't that's why men need it women don't why don't women need to dive in a millionaire watch women doubt well don't watch it but pay attention how women dive when they're on their own we're gonna dab with a lot of on on their own right from the earliest days i have boys and i have so sons and i have daughters you know watch little girls diving from the earliest days you know like they stand in the corner they dive they say every word they're not go figure out they really they're in tune to it they don't need the minion they're in tune to it they dive in you know one daughter just said everything on the page you know she just starts the beginning of the page and it says you know sometimes it says we skip this on here of an airplay so she dives there too you know i mean put two boys together you know it doesn't take long for in general you put two boys together but at a certain point they can start hitting right when they dive and it's even sooner you know you know the boys looking around okay nobody's watching me i'm done you know the phantom the phantom governor you know so men are only little boys in in a bigger body that's all men are there's a i heard this from right by tat swats there's a statement in the zora that says a man is a little boy always because a girl is a woman from the earliest age and a man is a little boy always interesting because we always say men always like playing with gadgets toys right i still to this day every time i pass a a a guy in america told me he works on a construction site he actually operates one of those things you know one of the cranes or something i just like can you get can you can you hook me up you know again yeah get me in one of them for just for 20 minutes that's all i want you know one of those one of those cats you know just dig up the earth over there so i'm still looking for the same toys what does what toy does a girl play with when she's little places like doll she's just practicing to be a mother when she when she gets older she plays she actually plays with the little kid with the baby himself you know you know the man you know it's it's always a toy it's always just what manner it's a very important insight that's why men need a stabling force and women don't so a woman died and she's doing naturally attuned the men need the environment we need all the help we can get and and therefore it's not a joke is that a joke that's that's that's why we that's why we doubt now there's a there's a deeper reason the deeper reason is because when you dive in by yourself this is not my idea this is what what's explained the basic explanation when you're diving by yourself the the the malachim the ain't what we translate as angels the angels take artefila up to hashem's throne when you're dabbing by yourself they inspect it well when you're dabbing by yourself they inspect it well so they take the fila all the way up and they give it an inspection well you know i don't like that there was some the property that carvana there could have been better and you know skipped that one by the time they by the time they narrow it down there isn't much left when you're diving with a minion they bring up the whole box so they just kind of give a glance you know yeah it looks basically looks okay you go up with the merit of the community you actually go up with the merit of the community and therefore when you go up with the merit of the community so you're feeling in that seaboard there's more room there's more leeway because you are actually part of the seaboard the zebra carries up so again what you say is you know that somebody else's kavanaugh could affect yours i i don't know i've never seen it put quite that way it could be it could be i've never seen it because certainly their presence affects yours because they're very present effects years so so the community you grow exponentially okay now having said that you should have a problem with this one so one of you asked what you know the ratio does not obey the the ratio does not obey so the commodities rashi says the the most basic answer is uh exactly is correct it must be in rashi says it has to do with the merit the more you are the more powerful you become exponentially but i saw one of the commentaries explains there is a very very in the possum the ratio will work there's a way to read the posture where the ratio does work now watch how he reads the puzzling it's beautiful it's beautiful reads the puzzle like this the um the rod full became kamisha maya five of you will chase a hundred umaya mikam in a hundred of you groups of five revolving year double we'll chase ten thousand then the ratio works perfectly a hundred groups of five is five hundred five hundred will chase ten thousand that's the ratio of five to five five chase a hundred five hundred chase ten thousand so if you understand that mckenn is referring back to what we were originally speaking about which is a group of five and five uh uh a hundred of your groups of five that the ratio works very well then the ratio works very nicely okay now the next problem you have here is that it says and your enemies will fall before you by the sword now that you'll notice is mentioned twice the torah says twice your enemy it says it in pasag zayin vid naflu lift and then it says again in passacres your enemies will fall before you by the sword now what is emphasized here this idea your enemies will fall before you by the sword so let's go yeah could it be that it's like not exactly the same sword and one could be more like one could be more like physical one could be more like spiritual okay okay you're you're you're you're almost on the right track you know well you're almost under you're moving towards the right track what's that that's for sure they're gonna they're gonna get in such a panic they're gonna get panic they're gonna fall they're gonna they're gonna fall on their own swords right they'll fight each other and they're panic as they run away they won't know what's happening you just start is that that that's for sure um um so so one of the commentaries points out like this you know the famous star with david malek david goes out he comes to visit his brothers at the battlefront and he sees the jewish people are in a panic because this uh this giant goliath what we call goliath who the knach says is is six amos and azaris now if an amma if an amma is at a minimum of a foot and a half so he's six almas a foot and a half that means he's nine feet tall nine feet tall and uh what do you call his first team all-star and nine feet tall and he's he's armed to the teeth he's got he and he comes out with his armor and he's intimidating the jewish people he comes out he says send out your best warrior to fight me if i defeat him you'll be our slaves if he defeats me will the philistines will be your slaves and show all in israel what's that on this side yeah well jews have gotten inside but he's got armor and uh yeah and the jews are there for 40 days being intimidated and and then david amella comes out he's the shepherd he comes out and he says hey what's going on and they say well you know take a look and he hears in show and goliath goliath is blaspheming and he's intimidating and and david says hey what's up with that going he decide i'll fight him and the king is the king says anybody who fights him is going to be rewarded that he'll be the king's daughter and david goes and he tries putting on the armor he puts on he puts on king saul's armor it doesn't fit him doesn't fit him so he takes off the armor he takes five smooth stones and he goes out and goliath says then where's he you know where you're gonna fight me like a dog so david says i'm coming in the name of hashem and he takes the he takes the what he called and he shoots and he hits he hits uh goliath in the only unprotected place which is right over here and the stone actually embeds itself in his forehead and his soul and goliath fall pitches forward double cuts off his head and everybody goes home happy okay they live happily except for the philistines yeah they had a bad day you know they were even heard one of them was overheard saying the other i mean i hate when that happens you know and those things the philosophies are having a bad day okay now so the the the the the causal point out because i'll point out that gemara points out you know if a guy gets hit in the forehead hard enough to kill him with a stone the stone actually embeds itself a guy's standing up straight and he's hit in the head with a stone so hard that it actually kills him the stone killed him not dovid cutting out the cutoff inside he was already dead the stone hit him embedded itself in his skull in his forehead and killed him now which way would you expect them to fall he either collapse on the spot or fall backwards yet goliath pitches forward goliath pitches forward so the gabor says and why did he fall forward as a miracle that he fell forward as a miracle why to save david amelok 12 steps because davra melak if he would have had to walk over he would have had to walk over 12 steps to cut off his head if he would have fallen backwards so you'd have to take 12 steps over to take the sword kind of this way he fell conveniently right at his feet and he was able to pull out the sword and cut off his head okay it says enough he thought he felt the stone kills okay now that that being the case their big what's that that's always what you do in war you cut off the head that's always like kind of the finishing that's kind of the finishing yeah that's the finishing that's the thing yeah yeah you always bring that they bring that okay again gentlemen let's stick with the point they'd say you want to read it up on the not you read up the whole story i mean i'm not bringing up for that right now i'm bringing it for a different reason so if it all pitches forward okay now i'd be going yes pitches forward doubly kills what said the knock says the word says he fell forward to save david about 12 steps which is itself a little bit difficult to understand you know davidoff would have been happy to go walk 12 steps chop off his head i mean you just killed you're the national hero you're about to marry the king's daughter you're going to be rich you got everything you know you got no problem so you win the ncaa title they got to bring the basket to the coach the coach is more than happy to walk over to the basket and cut down the net you know that's fine you know you don't have to bring the basket to me he dances over and everybody's shoulders why do you need it it's uh so the explanation is that has his own little miracle the miracle of killing soul is a is a redemption for the entire jewish people and this is just to show david malek has a certain level that hashem favors him because in individual gets his own little miracle they compare it to they compare it to a father who loses his wallet the father loses his wallet and everybody in the house goes looking for the wall he's got he's got ten thousand dollars cash in the wall everybody else is looking for a wall one of the kids finds the wallet so as soon as he finds the wallet everybody starts dancing and celebrating right everybody's dancing is over then the father walks over to kiddo finally gives about gives him a hug and a kiss because after all you're the one that's that's for you that's your own personal one so the celebration for the jewish people is that goliath is killed but now that that itself is a miracle for the entire jewish people but definite mouth needs his own little kiss his own little kisses go yes pitches forward instead of pitching back okay now one second hold all questions guava so so what's the sign that it's supernatural what's the sign as you said earlier that that god is involved in this the fact that he falls forward look at the words very carefully gentlemen the nfl your enemies will fall before you before you could also be understood as they will fall forward by your sword i mean if you go and you stab someone by the sword which way would you expect them to fall like i would fall backwards you're stabbing a guy with a sword except either collapse or fall backwards the last thing i'd expect is that he should fall forward enough that's the sign that it's going to be supernatural that's a sign that it's going to be beyond nature because you're going to stab them and they're going to fall forward that means that you think you're doing it it's only because you've had the seat of the shema there because we're always helped you that's why they're falling that's why that's why you're being successful that's what the torah is emphasized that's why it says okay then the torah says i will turn to you and rashi says now i don't know what this means but this is certainly encouraging okay so let's see it because it's very encouraging uh take a look at rashi and possibly test i'm not sure exactly what this means but it's certainly good news it's the left column five lines from the top of eleven says uh rashi uh to fifth line from the top left column eponemicol i will turn from all of my other involvements the shaolin to pay your reward hashem says whatever else i'm going to drop everything else i'm doing just to reward you now the reason i say i don't know exactly what that means is because you know it isn't involved it's not like he can't do two things at once it's a way of emphasizing for a human for a human being there's a principle in torah there's a principle called the saber essay ozil the cyber associate means to make it uh palatable for us to understand that's why it uses in egypt uses it was the hand of god the finger of god etz yad hashem god gets angry none of all of these do not apply to god on a literal level it says god gets angry god's hand le saber le saber esta osen to make it palatable to the ear to be able to understand what's being said so so the idea is that as human beings the only way we could even begin to relate to it is by using some sort of metaphor for how god is how god is acting so well god got angry god doesn't get angry because god doesn't have bad days or good days god is no human emotion could be used to describe god but when we see certain results down here we would describe it in human terms as whoever is doing it must be angry so from a human vantage point we would describe it as well god is angry at the jewish people but that's really a description of the action non-description of god because god doesn't get angry god created the concept of anger god created the concept of hands he can't be limited by it therefore since the the torah wants to explain give us a that's why it says over here god's going to reward us you know what kind of reward is going to be from a human point of view it's as if the boss stopped all his business all of his investing and he just focused on how he could reward you that'd be pretty good imagine the boss the boss says nobody bother me today i'm trying to figure out how i can reward my best worker nobody bother me i'm going to be in the office they figure out what what's the best reward for my worker that's what the torah is trying to it metaphorically that's what the door is trying to convey that rojo does towards the jewish people buena concharoco is happy with us okay now and again the torah talks about all the protists and everything else then we get on to page 710 now comes the what's called the tokugawa the tokugawa is the part of shul it's the part of shul that where where where they the baal korea drops his voice first of all they don't give the aliyah to anybody else they always give the elite about corey because he's up by the torah they never call somebody up for the curse means the rebuke and they never give the aliyah the schulz the custom is that you don't call somebody up for it they got yamo roofing jimin for the curse you know you give it you let the balcory do it because he's already there and he reads the token and then he reads it quickly and in a lower voice because you know that it's as uh symbolically that that the jewish people shouldn't be affected by the curse that's the that's the what it called that's that's the idea of the tokugawa number one number two um there's actually a guide a guy walked into a shoal and shabbos they're reading michael kosai and the guy walks into the show and he says to the gabai he wants to buy the tohoku you know how they sell aliyah sometimes this guy wants to buy the reboot he wants the aliyah to come up for the rebuke for the curse so gabby says we don't do that in our show we don't sell the thing the guy said i know i want to so uh the gabby doesn't know what this is it goes to the revenue show so the revenue says all right just tell him to just name an exorbitant price you know if i just tell him you want five hundred dollars for it he's not going to buy it he goes over a guy says i'll give it to you i'll salty okay the school sold you 500 it says okay i'll take it for 500 so you gotta go like he goes back to the rabbit he says now what the evidence is well if this was gonna pay give it to him it's only a custom anyway it's only a minute not to call people if he wants to buy it so give him the toke okay guy gets a doco about three weeks later he gets word that his uncle in america died and left him a boodle after a pile of money left him a whole factory to buy a whole business and he's running the business from here and a few months later he has to move to america to run the business because the guys were absolutely wealthy so they went somebody went to the stipelers itself they sent this sniper how could that possibly be the guy the guy the guy got the guy got the the look what happened to me and i made all that money after buying the sniper started laughing he said well i knew he'd get cursed i didn't know he'd be such a big curse so the truth of the matter is doesn't really answer the question though okay yes everybody's thinking curse me curse me you know but so it is a custom it is accustomed to that you call up you call up the balcory who is up at the torah already you don't call up uh somebody else now look what the torah says if you don't know baby fellow sasu is called you do not fulfill all of these mitzvos if you loathe my statutes and we'll see what rashi says about this in a moment and you uh my ordinances you uh how does he if you consider my decrees also mean you being and your being rejects my ordinances that's a heck of a translation the vilte associates called me so say i love recommendations you don't want to do my missus so take a look at rashi rashi and plus and possibly so rashi says like this it's in the right column and it's about a little more than halfway down the right column about nineteen thirty sevenths of the way down um everybody if you find it please show the person next to you if you loathe my statutes it says rashi what does that mean to load the scriptures you loathe others who do it you loathe others who who fulfill the menses this is unfortunately a very common and we're living through it today we live through it today why is there so much objection to the torah world if you know anything about israeli politics where is the objection coming from where they want to cut yeshiva funding and they want to cut the from from this and the from from that everything else what's underlying you know where it's really where's it really coming from it's coming from a rejection jealousy comes in later chelsea comes in later you're not far off the the the the it's not the jealousy here here what you see the problem with why is it why is it when i was in high school almost every non-jewish secular teacher went to shiva high school almost every non-jewish secular teacher that we had wore a yarmulke where they came into the school almost every jewish secular teacher that we have did not wear yamaka what do you think phenomenon is there why what's the shame but they're not living by the commandments so they have to reject it yes they're correct correct the guy comes in and and you know big deal put on me they want me to put on this this cap i'll put on out of respect i'll put on the cab because we all know it's got nothing to do with me and i'll put it on out of respect when the jewish teacher comes in and then there's a like what second you know if i'm wearing it now then maybe i should be wearing it all the time and he knows he should be and therefore the only way to fight it the only the only thing you left to do is to fight it no i don't wear yarmulkes no i don't eat kosher no i don't what do you mean you don't but it's available no in principle i don't eat kosher i've seen jews do that in principle i don't eat kosher food it's available no in principle because i want to show i'm a man of principle i don't the religion has nothing to do with me right so so when you see other people who are doing the mitzvah they represent your conscience that's why there's so much animosity towards the religious jews they think that we're walking around with black cats young but to put it in their face i don't i'm i'm not even thinking about you buddy i'm not concerned with you i got to live my own life yeah but you're you're no it's what you're is remember what say what was edgar ellen pose the telltale heart remember the telltale heart that heart beat when he's guilty so that that one i read that in high school that was real short you know i didn't you know that was much shorter than crime and punishment so that i read the uh the the the the tell-tale heart right the tell-tale heart be sure it's your own heart it's your own heart when you see me it's your heart that's making you guilty therefore you're of no choice but to push it away that's what rashi says number one you you you loathe those who do the mitzvahs now let's continue in rashi here and then it says you hate the wise men you hate that you hate the you stop you try to prevent other people from doing it not only you don't want to do it but your principle carries it apart i don't want anybody to do it right that is the the that is the wickedness that's the evil the torah is talking about now take a look at the next take a look at the next one because that's what i think speaks to all of us so ah yeah says now how does the art school translate because there's another translation how does the arts go translate it i will assign upon you panic essa different various illnesses which cause this uh depression because you're waiting for people to be cured and they never get cured sounds very much like various diseases we have nowadays you will sow your your your crops your enemies will consume that so this thing called the hollow this thing called beholla is what's called panic we call it panic uh that's how the art school translates it there's there's another there's another uh uh uh um in in um oh what's the word what's the opposite of being calm i guess being panicky agitated anxious anxious that's what i'm looking for anxiety anxiety that's right where we suffer nowadays nowadays from anxiety a lot of anxiety panic attacks anxiety it's all very 20th century and 21st century uh ailments you know back in the back in in in in the uh uh in the russian shtetl there was no anxiety because they're busy being trying to find shoes for their children and they were being chased by cossacks so they didn't have time for to be depressed and they have anxiety now there's once once you got a good job and you're making a good salary then you can worry about finding something to mess you over so then you got anxiety and low self-esteem nobody in russia nobody in fiddler on the roof ever had low self-esteem they're being busy being chased by cossacks so the the the uh the uh uh the torah says over here you're gonna get this anxiety behold is anxiety just anxious you're always anxious so so one of the commentaries says like this first of all in our day and age it's ridiculous i mean in our day and age those guys have gotten to the point of being ridiculous but with modern technology uh so one of the characters points out like this how do you feel and again i'm not picking anybody or person i'm talking to myself i only say you because i'd rather blame you than me but the the the you know how do we feel how do we feel you know like towards the end of shabbos for example towards the shabbos and it's a you know you gotta you got shallow shutters then you go off to show how do you feel anxious what do you what are you anxious what are you anxious for yeah either a cigarette or to go out and get some pizza to go out and do other things you know what you're right come on shabbos let's end already i mean you have one of these three day until things right shabbos comes with two days young oh my goodness the worst thing in the world absolutely the worst i'd rather have tissue above than that and absolutely the worst thing at all and i said what's bothering you for three days you get to eat and sleep which is what you would be doing anyway right so what's bothering you what because you got to spend a little time in show that's not what's bothering you you just can't wait because i can't shower that's not what's bothering you because i can't watch tv it's not what the answer is because i have to do it that's why
