PARSHAS KI SOVO: SIMCHA SHEL MITZVAH - VITAL INGREDIENT OR OPTIONAL EXTRA - Rabbi Nachum Scheiner

This week's para paras we have the par of the tell us we read the at the end of the year before we want to knock out all the all the clawless we should all have thera says says, "Why is it that the comes? Why is there the just a few words says?" You want to know why all the everything comes very simple that we weren't we didn't and learn and then the PC says what does it mean? We didn't we weren't what's so we would understand means because we had everything good comes because you were why weren't we? Because we had everything good from having so much good. That's why we were in so the morale the moral we was yard sight is today in his says that can't be it can't be that the reason why we weren't is because we had everything. He says when a person has everything that's actually a reason to help out. Yes. So that can't be the reason why saying why weren't we? Because we had everything good. When a person has everything good that helps a person person's more he could d better he could learn better. Yeah, if there's good air conditioning, it's it's easier. It's easier to learn makes it harder. That's not a not to be. So he explains, of course, it makes it easier, but the Tina is bigger. Why weren't you if you had the time? Of course it is because you weren't okay. But we had everything good and still we weren't that's the not that that was a for us not to be. No, it should have the why weren't we? We had my grandfather says this same also a bit more and he explains he says like this there are two types of byl is people have money people have moadas people can learn people there's no gazerus and laws that a person can't do mitzvah and then these times these harder times like it calls the times of hester whether if it's times living where a person can't do mitzvah or times where clal is being killed out he was a person actually that lived through two of such type of manim during the holocaust Because there was a time of h it was very hard to mai mitzvah trying to hold on to stay alive and in these times when a person could be mitzvah. So he says this yard site is this Sunday my grandfather. So he says maybe it's a bigger deal to be it's much harder. It's much harder. However, when it's a bigger if a person is not the mitzvah, you had everything you needed. You have money to mim the mitzvah. No one's not letting you do the mitzvah. So like what we said from the moral That means that we had everything good and still we weren't the mitzvah. That's the Tina of the T is that we weren't the mitzvah. But we have everything good. So why why not do it? If it's when it's harder times, it's hard to be m the mitzvah. And if a person's mitzvah, it's it's more But if then a person doesn't do we can understand the person's very overwhelmed he can barely do the mitzvah but if a person has he has everything good so why wasn't the [Music] good so we understand the perish of the comes for not We should have been because we have everything good. But the shila is for that comes the it's we should have done a but to get all the that we have it's we should have been it's very important but that should be for not being [Music] it's very important quotes that asks the following question. If a person does only one mitzvah just for one mitzvah a person has a person has everything good we don't see that there's a lot of people that do more than you don't see that a person says you Want to know why? Because to to do a mitzvah means that you do it how he explains it shouldn't be that a person does the mitzvah as a he has to do it. The Tyra says you have to do a mitzvah. So I'm doing it says that reason when you do a mitzvah you're supposed to do it in the way that it's worth every mitzvah that you do should be with such excitement that by doing this one mitzvah I'm getting millions of dollars. If a person does the mitzvah of that it's then yes then it's so definitely to do a mitzvah is super important it's in the essence of the mitzvah the has a that goes through in mitzvah goes through that a person has to know dayto day he has to know him in general to do any mitzvah. How to do the mitzvah says Heb from this week's par that we weren't when we did the what does it mean the definition means when you do a mitzvah you're not supposed to be happy like what I said before that you made a million dollars you're supposed to be even happier if you weren't happy if you found you have all the tanugim and all the precious stones and all the money in the world. That's the definition of so definitely it's super important. It's not just a it's not just a milo. It's in the mitzvah. But still that should come here like explains we don't get but we did the we were we just didn't do it. So what? So you could say in Mishnov says he says the following. You have to understand how it goes into the Mishna. But he says mitzvah and means that every mitzvah really has two mitzvah. These one part of the mitzvah is doing the mitzvah. the mitzvah of the mitzvah of there's another mitzvah of doing a there's another mitzvah of doing aim meaning to say there's a separate discussion of being but then he's doing the mitzvah we said before that you're supposed to be happy to do the mitzvah but to do it be happy you're doing the mitzvah. So if you don't do the mitzvah of the notim when you do the mitzvah so you don't have both mitzvah a person's the mitzvah of and he's lacking doesn't have the during the mitzvah of has brought was he wasn't he has the mitzvah of he doesn't have the second mitzvah of so that's Unless you say that if you it's like he was the second mitzvah you don't have that second benefit another mitzvah of doing I want to share with this is a famous I'm saw these many many inra explains the following he says ain't unfortunately people that's the reality person do people do and we have rashi and kipa to do chuva however if a person would do a mitzvah. Means like what we spoke before, a person's excited when he does the mitzvah. He's into it. He's fired up. It's not just y design. A person does it. But sim means that's his essence. He's excited to do the mitzvah. He wants to do the mitzvah. That will be mash on a person not to do a The Katskar Reb says the same idea. If a person does a mitzvah with a gashmak that itself besides the school of the mitzvah just the reality if a person's worked up in the mitzvah then helps a person refrain from doing a the comes of course because of a person doing a when the says the is not because we didn't do if you doz you're lacking a very big part in the mitzvah. But that's not that's not a reason to get the comes the in this week's parl is because when a person doesn't do a mitzvah that causes that causes for a person to be and and along these lines my grandfather also says not just in a when a person is down when a person doesn't have a person's not a control when a person is they can do a lot of crazy things unfortunately and the what the bal says the mitzvah refrain helps from people not being it helps people having a healthy good to life so number one the comes because a person doesn't do mitzvah for bad things for a person to be another terret says tob you which means which means doing a you know you were on a what's says the and we'll soon see it's in the clearly there's one thing of a person does an a person's a person a person does an a it's an a but if a person does an aim that's already what's the first shot we said is that a person didn't do of he was the second was saying is that a person was not which means he did but he did it the supporter says the following by he says by the supporter says is not the eagle it's that they did it They did it with excitement wasn't and that wasn't what broke the he says they were happy. That's why it was he broke the and that was also the that they made meaning to say is these one thing that they were but to make a y out of it like he says says the opponent was worse than the eagle itself. So the second shot the reason why the comes is because doing an a with excitement that's already that's in chas and Irisa brings the following question of the note of the shirus alukas that he was asked the zakasha why did mosher raenu break the lucas when he was still in shama when the told him why did he wait to come down brings that somebody wanted an answer when came down and he saw that's when he broke it but just not so that's why Rabenu even though he heard it from only he only broke it when he came down and saw that's when he broke it It's not shy to say such a thing. It's not possible to say that when he from directly about the that it could be anything bigger that it's thatu he heard it but when he saw it that was more when heard it from there that's the max it's like he saw it but what was taku only broke the lus when he came down to The only toldu that you should know was with the did not tell me that they did it for sim and that they were they were that's not a reason to break the but when came down and he saw was but it That's why broke the lus. He's one thing doing an but to do an with excitement that's already a big tie and that's why the comes. So we said to explain on the positive note why the comes either because when a person doesn't do a mitzvah a person he does he he can't refrain from doing a or doing but just to briefly focus on the positive on yes doing. I want to begin with whose yard site is this coming Wednesday. He quotes in he quotes. He's speaking about the sub dancing and the but he brings in general doing he says said this was a very high madreus We spoke till now how the problems that it causes but the myo of being just to bring a few examples in particular mitzvah this is in general a mitzvah we mentioned this Tuesday in the schmoo but the less brings from is rebi about the that why do we start on a mat shabas this shabas we're starting really you need four days of just like ament to check yourself so we start shabas and this year is the longest possible it only happens in a year of pes because if we're going to start next week it's only two days so we start a whole week before we're going to say a week and two days it's the longest possible rashash can't fall out on a Wednesday. So if it's not like this year on a Tuesday, then it's Thursday. Once Rashashana is on a Thursday, that's the minimum amount of days of but this year it's the maximum. No, last year I think I don't remember what, but Rashashana could be we could still have longer if Rashashana is on a Monday. Rashashana could be on a Monday. So then it's a week and a day. This year it's a week and two days. The longest possible why do we have so long? Because we start on a mat shabas. Why do we start on a mat shabas? If we need four days, so this year it would be Thursday. Next, next week Thursday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday, a whole week and two days says the you know why? Because when we start, we want to start. How do we have when we start Shabas? We're coming off Shabas. Shabas, a person has time to learn. He has of learning. He has shabas. But mainly we want to be doing that's why we start on the note of the mitzvah of we're learning now in the eighth per of we spoke in the previous we focus on the mitzvah of it's like the explains not to eat, not to drink. Says this, some people may know it. Some of the do and they put it in by says already in the afternoon, you're already fasting for a good 14 hours, 16 hours. You're starting to get hungry or let's just say you're almost starving already. Instead of a person losing out on the mitzvah and like thinking already when when is already how much time do I have a person could utilize focus on the mitzvah to do the for me personally sometime it's a a person gets hungry time in the afternoon Yes, he's tackling in pain. He's starving. Think I want and he brings in other words person should focus to do the mitzvah. has a a so we didn't speak about at the today that a person's always supposed to be always supposed to be clearly today we're speaking about when being doing mitzvah I mean the truth is a person's always being but the he says when shabas comes when y comes to be we're not speaking about that also not a person supposed to be there's avas shabas is coming with Thursday shabas a person should focus on shabas not in getting enjoyment of what he eats but to focus on the mitzvah of course these are mitzvah of but to focus on shabas shabas to focus on the mitzvah to do note and to connect to that's where the should be. Sometimes it's hard to do a mitzvah the we saw by when else when a person gives sodaka it's sometimes it's hard you could do the mitzvah you give money but sometimes it's hard for people to part from the money says the every is supposed to do it doesn't say by here it's harder the mitzvah sometimes a person it's not so to do I just want to conclude [Music] the shale vosner when he gave a hespit on rebel yashv He spoke about the earlier years when they were in K together in he said one of the biggest mileus of Rabash he said two points one he said was that learned he said his limit was always the other thing was he says he used to stand by learning but he said he used to And he tes in says learning means to enjoy not just to learn but to get involved that it's to to to get into the then means that a person is not going to forget the Tyra. But you know when it when is it that a person doesn't forget the Tyra? A person doesn't forget the as we said earlier a person's not a person practically doesn't forget the when it's not just he learns the tyra another person learns a tyra what when a person learns a with a with excitement it penetrates it goes into a person and a person doesn't forget the a person's a kind a person we should be to be asem Have a wonderful day. Okay.
