Doing it With Dignity

Welcome to our sushi and thank you for joining us. Why do we learn Megillas Rus on Shavuos? Oh, I know and everyone has answers because Rus was a grandmother of Dovid Hamelech cuz all the different reasons. Even chesed, what's chesed? Chazal say that the Torah is t'chiloso d'gemilas chassodim. It opens up with the story of gemilas chassodim and ends with the story of gemilas chassodim and Rus is a megillah which is called kuloi chesed. It's a story of great chesed that's taking place. Great generosity and selflessness and devotion. What's the Chazal say this? What's the t'chiloso d'gemilas chassodim of the Torah and and how it ends? So so Chazal say that when we read the Torah of Moshe Adam and Chava were unclothed after the cheit and Hashem gave them clothing. He made them customize big albishim. He gave them clothing. And the end is that Hashem of Akeidas Yitzchak that he he buried Moshe Rabbeinu. Moshe Rabbeinu died alone and the Beis Hasholom was himself basically chesed shel emes. He buried him. That's chesed. So to stop a minute to just to think what's the chesed Hashem did at the beginning of the Torah? He gave them clothing. They had clothing. They did They They didn't have any clothing at all Adam and Chava. They didn't know they were nude and they were suddenly aware of the fact they were unclothed. And they covered themselves like like the pasuk says with leaves. So Hashem did a chesed. He gave them clothing. But they already had clothing. So why what was the chesed of giving them clothing? He gave them different clothing. He gave them better clothing, okay. But they didn't They weren't It wasn't like they didn't have clothing and he gave them clothing. So what does it mean? So Rabbeinu Bachya says over there that they did have clothing, but the leaves only covered part of their body, but not all of it and they weren't so warm. Hashem gave them better clothing, nicer clothing. See You see here a tremendous thing. You see something powerful here. Chesed doesn't just mean to give another person what they need. Chesed means to give another person what they need with dignity. Along with the thing that you're giving them, you also have to give them a sense of of self-respect. You learn about tzedakah. You see how important it is to take into consideration the feelings of the recipient of the oni. It's a much higher level of stuck up if you could give it to them in a way that he doesn't feel like a recipient. That's all part of it. So means not just the object you're giving them. You're hungry, I gave you food. You're cold, I gave you a coat. No, no, no, no, no. I have to give you food in a way that also makes you feel good. I have to give you a coat in a way that also makes sure that your dignity is not at all compromised. So, Pasha was Pasha was by us went out to the field. I don't know why not. I shall be with you. I shall be with you. This is me with a sham. He bench them. I shall be with you. I shall be with you. They answered him again. It's a matter of a few things that people that you like I didn't that really we don't see that it was okay in a locker. But in my mind one of them is greeting people with a sham a sham. I said I shall be with you. Really? That was the thing that wasn't done. You can't just say a sham's name just like that. But by us did it and it became it became accepted to do it that way. What was by us the condition? Why was he the one to this idea? That you could say I shall be with you. Good to be with a sham. Because not by you we know that the ultimate has it is not just to give somebody something. It's to give them something with their dignity. The two ways you can greet another person. You can tell another person hello, which is nice because you're acknowledging that you see them, you notice them, you're acknowledging that they exist, that they have a right to be greeted, all that they're worthy of being greeted. All those things are nice. But when you say I shall be with you, you're saying so much more. You're saying you know why I'm saying hello to you. Not because I'm a person and you're a person, because you're got luck, because you have a little friend zone with you. In you. It's all with him. You're you're the most you're the greatest thing in the world. I shall be with you means I shall be with you. That's not just a greeting of hello. That's a greeting of hello and you're special and you're and you're dignified and you're distinguished and you're worthy of all the respect in the world. That's a revolution in the song with him. By us doctor in the beginning of cool which is read on the end Tov Pesach, is called Kodesh Hashem. We learned this about Hashem in you. which means you have to look at every single Jew and every single person. Yom Tov.
