Ari Goldwag - Shoftim - Charity and Justice

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded with a show never-ending assistance and remapping shimmy she's real 5777 2017 I'd like to remind you about my safe air perfectly imperfect breaking out of the ordinary and striving for greatness available in sperm stores near you this week's parchment are shoved him and in our party this week I'd like to share with you a thought based on the mattress and also Gemara and it has to do the concept of shave timid shy trim that a Shum commands us Moshe Rabbeinu relays the command of Hashem to us to make sure that we have judges and that we have laws and laws are kept laws are enforced we have Dina man we have we have but adenine we have courts that enforce those laws and make sure that righteousness and justice is being enforced amongst the Jewish people and that things are fair and that if there's a dispute between people they have to whom to go in order that their dispute should be resolved and the measure she says beautifully an amazing thing and it reminded me will soon see reminded me of a Gomorrah that's similar but has a slightly different take on the concept and we'll see what is the difference why the Gomorrah puts it this way why is the measure to put it this way so listen carefully is that shamrock kouzef the measure tells us that when the torah describes it's the obligation to set up courts a court system judges and everything that all has to be done correctly and responsibly so there's a reference to this constant of the importance of this idea in the plastic and michelin proverbs chapter 21 verse 3 it says like this assay to the Commish pot or I say sadako mismo Nev Carla she means ova somebody who does charity and justice someone who's involved in justice and and sadaqa so it's more precious to a Shem it's chosen to Hashem something that a Shem loves more than a sacrifice more than a Corbin because King SIPC on the magic point set doesn't say that it's equal to a sacrifice that is on the same level as a sacrifice and let me say Buffett says that it's greater than a sacrifice what is the idea how do we see in which ways do we see that a Corbin a sacrifice which is brought in the temple or in the Mishkan in the tabernacle that's something that a sham loves is something that I Shawn asks for it's something precious but where do we see and in what ways is charity and judgment just this something which is greater Hucker but I started craving a little bit now bias the sacrifices were only able to be brought in debate some English in the temple in one place I've a let's talk about Dean in know I guess before now by social I beef now bias when it comes to charity that's something that can be done in a temple and something that can be done outside of the temple anywhere it's possible to give charity and when it comes to justice when it comes to but the adenine when it comes to having these court a court system and making sure that things are proper and just so that's something that indeed was done in the base I'm English we had the Sun Hedren who sat on the Hara bias on the Temple Mount but there were also but enum there were also courts throughout the land of Israel so that's the first place that we see it number after another example how Kerberos a macabre medal is shy gig you find that when it comes to carbon so it comes to sacrifices so the sacrifice is coming to be macabre they can only atone for somebody if they've done a sin by accident if it wasn't done on purpose but snuck of adenine and the charity and a person coming to a court even if a person receives a negative judgment but the fact that he comes to court in order to resolve what's going on so Mojave man the show you being amazing so a person has an opportunity to get a cut part to get an atonement whether the thing that he's done wrong was done by accident or even if he's done it intentionally it's possible to get a cop ARRA through the judgment of the court tomorrow care another another way we see that carbon is that the sacrifices are not as great a guy - Enoch in Malibu taco talk about DNA and a million will be my tottenham then when it comes to sacrifice is a sacrifice is something that can be brought in this world to only benefit a person in this world but when it comes to charity and when it comes to judgment it's something that is that is shiet that can pertain both to the lower realms and the upper realms not clear to me exactly what this is referring to but perhaps this is the next state of the Magisters an explanation of it door ah there another explanation Carbonite ain't no game Ella bottom has a box dhaka vada now give me my damn house MA madam I bought that when it comes to sacrifice is that something that can only be done in this world but when it comes to charity and when it comes to Dean when it comes to justice when it comes to these types of things so that's something that that we can speak about in this world and in the next world and again it's not so clear exactly how this applies in the next world the HCA civ says that charelle demands a good move our initial Afiya dean then in the next world so there's a concept of a person receiving their just reward and there's a concept of a person receiving a punishment and that's something that occurs in the next world so so we can have it in this world and in the next world and I would I would add to that that there's an aspect of cup par there's an aspect link we've mentioned already but it's an aspect of atonement that occurs when a person the the the purpose of Gahanna and the purpose of going to the fiery places that a person has to go to heaven forbid if he hasn't repented in this world so the purpose of that is a Khepera it's to atone for his sins it's not because Hashem is angry at him and he wants to show him you know I'm saying it's to click cleanse his soul of the mire that he's become engulfed in by in being involved in sin in this world so that's something justice can help a person in the next world also sadaqa we have to understand how charity would perhaps when a person does let's say a person gives charity in this world we find personally give charity in this world on behalf of somebody who's in the next world someone who's already passed away it's possible to be charity and it could be a merit for them according to many opinions so it's possible that charity can help in this world for somebody in the next world a cup urban cannot help a person who's no longer in this world aware actual barnak meaning now here's where we get to to really an awesome piece in the managers which parallels the Gemara let's go Martin Marcus also similar very similar tomorrow and it's just an amazing conversation between King David between mm Ella and I cut her sparkling God remember knock me around when he said Bashar Monica - both : awesome so King David so he had this tremendous desire he wanted to build a make some English he wanted to be the one who would build that temple that place that house for God so to speak until that time for many hundreds of years so I Shem God his presence was manifested in the Mishkan in a impermanent structure and it's haver Knakal as long as they were in the wilderness so it was a moving structure it was a it would be set down obviously for a time but it would move and then there were periods of time where the Jewish people had that tabernacle in different places it was in Shiloh it was in different locations and so King David wanted to build a temple he wanted to build to be some English a place where Hashem would be able to rest his spirit now shall we be able to receive court bonus the Jewish people be able to interact with God in that location unfortunately he wasn't safe it to this Hashem said - nothing on W - Nathan the Prophet Lake Lamar tell daddy he said go to King David go to David my servant I am Hashem this is what I Shem said Leigh I talked even early huh bias las llaves you shall not be the one who's going to build this house for me to be able to sit in it to dwell there ki lawyer Shakti bias men i-i'm a Cheryl Eccl I am Hazare for from the time that I brought the Jewish people asked out it out of Egypt until this very day I haven't been in a house I haven't been in a prominent structure yeah my loyal Myshkin I was going from one place to another from one tent to another it was always a place that was impermanent so that was a schrems way of saying to King David don't feel so bad I've been in an imprimatur structure until now continue to be but King Solomon would be I'm Ella King David's son would be the one who was going to build me some English but not mm I know but it was not privileged he set down the foundations that me something does she found the location of Jerusalem of the Hara bias of the Temple Mount but it was not to be that King David would actually build it so now what happened at that point everybody knew that King David wanted to build a base some English he wants to build a temple but he wasn't able to build a temple so the result was call me shame a vocational College in Ohio so I say they were there were people in that generation early sunny hot door there the scoffers of the generation who would want to make a jab at King David they wanted to say something negative they wanted to say something that was not sometimes I wanted to curse the King David so would they say oh your armor Lloyd tyshee bana bites they would say to King David we are excited we can't wait for the temple to be built in other words we can't wait until you die that's what they would say they wanted to say something to scoff at King David so now an amazing thing this is just just beautiful the amazing humility of double-helical King David of a Jewish true Jewish leader tadaka madhava diamond you should know what is King David's say some mock DB are merely basis I'm nailing he knew it'd be a sham Nanak meant when people were saying we want to go to the temple they were saying King David we want to be rid of you but King David had said an amazing samake he said I was I would rejoice when I heard people saying that I want that they want to go to the temple but they want to be able to go in the temple even though the implication was they want me to pass on the King David but I lived at the beauty of what they were saying I love the fact that they were excited there was a piece of them that really wanted to have that base I mean there's a temple so they could serve you properly I've actually learned love Russia in a tub I know so but in mentioning this to God so he said he said you know people are trying to say things negatively about me because because I'm not going to build a base in English this line is not exactly clear on exactly how to how it fits in well but let's keep moving or like Kadosh Baruch Hashem said to King David hyukoh I swear I promise you by your life Jacques naina in anima hacer don't think that because I'm I'm gonna wait until you pass on a shaman since the King David don't think that therefore you're gonna miss a single moment of your life no every single moment that you were meant to have you will have benign how do we know she named her liver cells us from obeys chapter 7 verse 12 kilo MF o when your days will be filled when you will complete your days we shall cough them out myself oh and you will sleep with your father's like you miss U's Erica erica and i will stand up your seat after your show a telling me alcohol that will come out of your innards he nicest mom laughter and i will cause his king kingdom to be prepared from a lack of the shukaku shem said a shem system like this hat sadaqa well you know here's when we come back to the concept they were speaking about until now the greatness of sadaqa the greatness of charity the greatness of mishpokhe of justice King David as well since he was known for his charity and for his justice Hashem says they might want you to know don't think you're gonna miss out on a moment of your life don't think that I'm going that I'm anxious to build a base in English and that's what I really want since I shall know I am more interested in the sadaqa the charity that you do the mission for the justice that you cause the Jewish people to be able to have I care about that that's that's what you represent King David that's what's important to me microbots not medina shot to hell even let me some big douche the charity and the justice that you do is more precious to me than the temple itself mean I mean how do we know this should mr how do we know that this was King David's specialty so to speak because they're worse they're in in Schwab days and the second samuel chapter 8 verse 15 says he dove it I said mish but stucco King David was somebody who was constantly doing judgment and chair he was involved in getting justice for the Jewish people he was involved in charity now there's a parallel tomorrow which really soon I'm gonna get to just I wanna it's important for me to mention it but just before we get to that there's a few more lines in the magician that are very interesting my home ish but it stuck a little Emily what is this reference to the fact that he would do to Dhaka and mish but he would do charity and he would do justice what's the idea of King David's charity and justice or really justice and charity a beautifu of Nachman so we have an argument about this from that Malloy maybe there tannoy I'm not clear remember how you're done aside in one says that would hat what would happen was King David he would he would judge the case nozaki says document crime is a high you go through the halacha based on a lot of the final judgment is the one who is obligated to pay this one has to pay this one is one who has to receive the money in my Lea the high latane I have a nice to meetcha Loy King David what he would do is if he would see the person who he had said is obligated to give the one who's obligated to give up his own money so if you see that that person didn't have the money he didn't have the wherewithal to be able to pay off the money that he owed javi so so King David would give him money of his own even give charity so he would be done he would he would judge the case and he would help the person the person who lost the case if he needed money he would help that person to be able to pay heavy Mission footed stucco that's according to Rebbe who though earlier if knock instead of not been said to him in King if that's correct name say so maybe as you saw they were amused so if King David would do that so the result would be that people wouldn't everyone know that King David would do this kind of thing and people would intentionally come accuse the other one they don't really owe anybody money they would accuse one would accuse the other one they would have King David give one of them the money and then they would end up splitting the money so it can't be that that's what it means so Nachman says if i wish but it's Tucker what is that like a mish but Oh King David how you done a sudden so the stuck and mich what was like this that he would judge the case missus a Kazakh mclamb is a kite the person who he found innocent would be found innocent the person who was obligated to pay would pay heavy mich but it's dhaka acharya Moises a ghazal me odo what he would do is as they see also explains what he would do is that he would he would show the people in such a clear way that this person is high if this person is obligated to pay and that this person is the one who is meant to receive the money it would be so clear and he would do it in such a sensitive way that the people who he was judging would actually be excited and happy to give up the money if they were obligated to give up the money and obviously to receive the money if they were the ones who were to receive it the point is that he would do it in a sensitive way in a loving way in an encouraging way such that the people who who received the negative judgement would agree that it was the right thing to do to give up that money so that's it sucker that's the charity that he would give the people an opportunity to do the right thing in the right way come on come on please throw so I Shem says to the Jewish people why all the I didn't Xavier malifaux nice since you see that justice is so beloved to me so important to me I was here ma'am so it's extremely important to be careful about judgments that's what we see now I just I found an amazing and remarkable this kimono there's a few reasons but you know just the the amazing humility of King David the the beauty of his ability to first of all to bring justice to people to give of his of himself to give of the money that he had for the person who couldn't afford to pay off the money that was owed or the ability that he had to show the people the the truth of the judgement so that they would agree to give up that money but the the humility the incredible humility of King David that he was able despite the fact that people were saying we want that base something that should be built already and they didn't mean it because they wanted to base amusement they meant it as a cursed King David but his humility was that he didn't see that part he was able to see he was able to bring out I would even say the part of their statement of we want the base some English we want the temple because he saw himself and his whole purpose his whole desire was to build a temple why for himself no it was sort of the Jewish people would have a place to connect to God so he he saw even in the negativity even in the in the negative statements of others and their statements which came to say something bad about King David so he saw an opportunity to to bring out the fact that they wanted to build the base aminos the fact that they wanted to serve Hashem and that based on English now is another another America is all another place where our sages speak about this idea very similar Gomorrah however there's a slight difference in and I won't understand why they Gomorrah says it slightly differently we Gomorrah says like this how am i dub it I'm sorry now are you sure when lady might've saved for B Sherman IV says Gomorrah moccasin a feud page 10a the bottom of the page Shubin ladies said what does it mean the first one it says sure muscled of it we have a song of Addison's King essence King David wrote Samak diva I'm Emily based Hashem nailing King David said and we quoted this verse already I rejoiced when I heard people saying that they want to go to the house of God oh my doubled lift nikolushka bar who King David said in front of God we burnish alone master the world sure mati then they Adam show you I must say my sake and sir I have heard people saying when will it be that that this old man will die who's referring to himself the Amish not even knowing and his son Solomon will come even evasive athira not on the rag oh so he said I could you know people are saying when is he gonna die when is sama gonna take over so that we can come up to the base of English and we can bring out her bonus there Sumati amazing thing King David rejoiced when he heard this he was so excited that people wanted to be some English you so excited that people you surah shine people who were had negative things to say about King David but they say they they wanted this they wanted to be something that she saw the part of it that was positive so this samake I'm an echo - Burcu Shem says him an amazing thing he told Yamaha tear a female of me Elif one day in your Hut sir one day in an empty there was an empty courtyard he was on top of the Hara bias the base I'm English was not there there was no temple there there wasn't even something you know an about and I don't want to say negative things there wasn't even a different religions temple there there was nothing there was an empty Hut sir nobody was serving a sham there all that all that there was what was there he told ya makutsi refer your auntie courtyard I prefer may Elif rather than a thousand what's the thousand turn the a method shots of OS equatorial the phone I says a Shem to King David I prefer one day of your Torah learning in front of me me Elif Eilish Austin I've been called a California hummus bath more than a thousand core bonus there were a thousand sacrifices that King Salman brought when he dedicated the temple Shem says those thousand sacrifices are beautiful there there are sacrifice to me they are an amazing offering they're amazing connection to me but this is a shunt to King David your one day of learning your one moment of learning one day of learning it's more precious to me than a thousand sacrifices so the fact that you haven't been able to build a base in English don't think that it's that you don't have some that you're missing something precious yes you don't have to be some English but you have something amazing which is your torah learning and it's just interesting that in both of these mature ocean both the Gemara and the mattress now Shem is saying to him you have something amazing I need every day of your life as we saw them a Jewish I need every day of your life in the message of song that says duck I wish but it's talking about charity and stalking about justice and the Gemara is talking about his Torah learning and I won't understand why the Gemara does it to the Torah learning and why in the majors doesn't refer to the stock admission but and I was thinking and you know the Gemara is speaking to the area die the Tomica hum the person who has the ability to study the Talmud so there's a certain depth this requires certain a certain intellectual ability that's required to study the Torah to study the Gemara and the magic is on a different level the measure is a lighter type of Li mood it's also something that requires thought requires depth of understanding a depth of an ability to decipher what the measure is trying to say but the message is really written for more of the Hammond arm the the regular people not necessarily the intellectual people and so the measures each of the majora is speaking about a different aspect but somebody who is a national kylus he included everybody his soul included all of the souls of the Jewish people and so in a shamans telling him that this aspect is precious Hashem is now Shem said both of these things really but the Gemara is telling us one aspect of what what a sham said to King David which was his Torah learning was precious the measure is telling us a different aspect which pertains to those who learn the magician that is that charity and and justice those things are important those things are significant and deeply important deeply significant you know we can ask ourselves and this is really talking to us you know King David live 70 years 70 years of that'd be some mikdash his whole entire life whether the says that the the can tell his describes the fact that he's promised he won't allow any eye his eyes and he sleep his body fits to rest till he found that place of Hashem he's looking for where is Jerusalem where is that place the muhkam how Neil or the place is just a sham chooses until he found it he was always looking for his entire life but sham says to him don't think that just because you don't have a base I'm English means you have nothing all the way around the tire learning that you do if you're an intellectual through a scholar or that's a duck at a charity that you do the justice that you that you pursue if you're a regular person don't think that that's not as significant if not more significant or equally significant if the measure saying it's even more significant than the sacrifices so Shem is telling message to King David but it's really a message for us as well we are here we are almost 70 years in Eretz Israel having our own country having our own nation in our sea stone it's slowly becoming more and more the the Jewish character is becoming stronger and stronger the tire is becoming stronger and stronger in the Land of Israel and so we could see her says well where's the base on McDuff we don't have a temple 70 years we don't have a temple it's almost 70 years next year we'll be seven years since 1948 where's our base Samak - where's our temple and now Shem is telling us if you have sadaqa if you have charity if you have mich but if you have justice if you have but a denim if you have tyra if you have the learning of the torah type of your manhood don't think that you haven't filled your life don't think that your life is not significant don't think that what you've accomplished is not significant yes it's a beauty to obey something yes we're waiting for that moment yes some mock the King David rejoices when he hears that people want that we're supposed to want to be some English but let's no let's think about let's remember and be massive and pursue sometimes we need to pursue have a zip hearing about him be extremely careful about them sadaqa/charity whether it's giving to people who need that money or whether it's showing people the beauty of the Taira as King David did showing the beauty of justice of the of the SOT best in of the final decisions of of a best in of a court whether it's the tyre that we get to learn if we have that opportunity if we have that intellectual capacity recognized Asher should help us I want to bless you and bless me back if some should help us to recognize the beauty of what we have to always desire yes that is King David did always desire the base of meanness which hopefully will speedily be built in our days very soon but recognize that we have an interim which is an amazing opportunity for charity of chat of sadaqa of pursuing justice and of course of learning Torah each and every day of our lives our Shamshad help us to fill up all of the days of our lives we use amazing spiritual acquisitions thank you so much for listening that wonderful Shabbos this podcast was made
