Zera Shimshon Shiur Parshas Ki Savo with Rabbi Simcha Bunim Berger

Can I say who wrote this? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Which which >> which son is this? Oh, the one that's come >> for his Hebrew birthday this Sunday as a for all those waiting and for may each and one may each and everyone be z to find their true hun mish and build a beautiful bisro filled with sim and shalom. May all of be blessed with an abundance of that's today's sponsor. Now, my father's my mother died Karen Mayor Ben Miriam and David Yehud. on the engagement of his daughter. >> Okay. Paige Shin B. That's letter In this week's para paras we have the clas of Mishnra when your kazin when your balra will read this week's para at one point his voice will drop. He'll go fast and quiet because we don't announce those [clears throat] claws. But we have to read them. >> Read them twice. He gets the aliyah. We don't call anybody up for this. We read this. We do clo twice in which is paras and innra in safer. Thank you. And in each time say because let the year end and whatever of the year there are let them end with it. And the year should begin with new. So we read each time the GRA says [clears throat] obviously now is Russ. So what about the say is also considered a Russ says the so if you listen for a minute to the last in this week's parhow you should listen to this you should be careful you should Watch the words of this bris and you should do it. So [clears throat] you should understand what needs to be done. How to be mim the mitzvah the excuse me says so that you should be so you should be you want you want what you do then watch the mitzvah keep this bris and then you'll And then it goes straight into one p after the next. It's good. >> One, right? >> No. them as you see where we're starting. What how does the connection of last week's of this week's para connect to next week's para? It finishes off by saying you should keep the mitzvah and the truth is that there has to be a kesher between the two. How so? The Radvas says the Zerosim says if you look in the clo of safair of parai inra after bringing all the says that he gives to after it says and thenra [clears throat] even if you go into golas. I'll never forget you. I'll remember the bris and I'll take you like I took you out of there's a there's a by the first set of clawless as in these clawless there's no there's no happy ending whatsoever as a matter of fact the way the clawless end you will go back to Egypt >> in boats which I said you're not supposed to go back to was telling that if the have to come true then will be wiped out in such a way that you'll go back to where you started from began their journey with mitz I'm going to undo this and you're going to go back to you know what's going to happen. They're going to want to sell you back and they're not even going to want you. That's how bad it's going to be. And that's it. Ask where's the come on. That's the way that's what you're doing to us. You're leaving us like that with such a terrible ending. says the red v that's what the is quoting is meant to be the that compensates that yes I did tell you that these these could be really not good this is in case but even though in last week's meaning in this week's para there's no let's see it side [snorts] really is a continuation. So when [snorts] it says later on itself, don't worry about you'll get you'll be okay. You'll be taken care of. So [snorts] the took the end of the beginning of par and said that they are linked together. Says the based on that I want to tell you something even more. I want to explain it like this and it has to do with the person's in this world. We know whatever you're doing all of the good deeds which you will get rewarded for. No question. But don't wait for it in this world because the mitzvah this world can't encompass. It isn't even big enough is way bigger than this world can provide. No goodness of this world. Yet as we do find that the Tyra talks about the benefit of doing and mitzvah in this world also. How do we reconcile these two ideas? How do we reconcile the fact that you'll have good which means that you are getting reward for doing the right thing. So you are getting how do we reconcile this? This is the subject of the zerosion tonight and the two parishes one next to another. Let's see the Each the last one in the first one needs each one has a putting the two together will answer the in each let's see the last p in paras says that you should do them so that you should be and that what you do sounds like this world you're getting for your mitzvah do it you'll be rewarded that's my on the last the next which means the beginning of the Next para made a bris. Why is he making this covenant says rashi? And I'll read the rashi. Normally when you make a bris with someone, when you make a deal, a bris is like a deal. You make a deal means you're establishing a relationship. You're making a bris. You're making a deal. Dish already made a bris with claus. Who have to make another bris for? They're already bris before and now at the end after 40 years what happened to the bristen beforehand it was bris by hari says rashi this bris is very different one bris is to make sure that we're partners that's the first bris this bris is that we should never separate because if clus makes mistakes like the way we did when we made an ael or we make mistakes that the aish would say, "I'm done with you. That's it. You've gone too far. You've pushed the envelope too far." The aisher wrote a bris in paras to stop us. As soon as Claus starts going too far off, then they get malus or they get the situation gets out of hand. So they can't in Yiddish. In Yiddish as an expression, you know what that means? >> No, that's why you're here. >> Well, that's why I'm here. >> Yeah. Right. There's a few Yiddish speakers here. What does mean? >> He's ODT, right? He's off the way. He's off the derek. Right. But sometimes you can go so far away like you know when before they had ways right you know how many miles away you from the house you're on the others where you you're by the Brooklyn Bridge where'd you get you're supposed to come to my vo how'd you get so far off the derek [snorts] so the aish doesn't want clus to get it doesn't want So if we're not doing so well but wants us to stay veer off the path but not too far. I'll give you free will. I'll give you but then if sometimes sees you're going too far off then he could do an illness or this and that. Not because he wants to hurt you but because look so says Rashi this bris wasn't establishing the relationship. This bris was guaranteeing that we don't break the relationship. >> One bris is the driver of both >> because one bris mean it's very simple. One bris says we're partners. >> Okay. But if if your partner steals from you and you but you say I'm willing to go into a with somebody but then the partner acts in a way that's uh you know unacceptable. At one point you're going to say habibi no partnership. That's it. Halas we finished. No more partnership. I wanted to be partners with you unless you set up a failsafe system that he can't get too far. He can't veer off and hurt the partnership so much. That's the novelty says Shan Rashi. That's the novelty of the of this bris. All of the punishments and all the things. It's not because I'm out to get you. It's because I want to make sure I made a promise says the aish. I my promise was I am going to be that's another Yiddish word. That's a good one. Gry means >> loyal. Yeah. Is loyal. Says I'm going to be loyal. But what am I going to do if you're going to be so how am I going to be loyal to you if you go so off so far? So I have to make sure that you don't get so and so we can still have that relationship. That's why you need two bris. One establishes the relationship and the other one makes sure that the relationship doesn't get broke. Look at what Rashi says. [gasps and sighs] Let's see here. these. He will be to you as a god. Swore to the I will never I will never You were so to me, you were so loyal to me. I will always be loyal to your kids. But what's going to be if those kind are going to be bris after bris after bris after bris. They're going to make mistakes again and again. says, "Therefore, he adds these and binds us with these. He don't push my buttons." says the you can't push me too far because if you do I'm gonna want to be switch you with right because I can't separate myself I can't say I have to be connected to you so how am I going to be connected to you I'll stop you from I'll give you enough rope but not enough to hang yourself is another only a certain amount. You shouldn't be too [laughter] right. What's that? Right? Because if it's seen and is gone and I can't have that happen because I promised my I'm going to be to you. I'm going to be loyal to you forever. So that's the lumbus. That's rashi. That's the lumbus says the zerosim. If you think about it in a certain way, it sounds like that these are there for the in a way. They're there to make sure that he shouldn't break his covenant with so he shouldn't be able to break his bruish. You did this for us. You did this for yourself. Says the pay attention here how he's answered. One Andy asked the if you do the mitzvah says in the end of par you're gonna get then it says in this week's par I want you to keep the mitzvah because if you don't keep the mitzvah you're going to get two so but that sounds like it's for the shouldn't break his deal no you're going to get you're going to get cost benefit in this world. If you're connected to the tire of the he'll do your he'll do what you want that now is that not since the can't separate himself if you're connected to the so you're going to have a benefit. No evil can happen to you. Which means to say like this says the is there really is no but since the allows us to be connected to him and the is good. So automatically the mitzvah that you do will benefit you in this world even if it's not mitzvah. explains the zerosion. There's two kinds of mitzvah. There's a mitzvah which is a and there's a mitzvah which is a mishb. You know the difference between a and a mishb is something that has no logical reason only aistic reason. A mishb is something that has a logical reason is a mishbut. Right? Don't steal from somebody. Don't kill somebody. Those are regular logical mitzvah. Even if the Tyra wouldn't have said them, you would understand. You're supposed to do it anyway. The goim of the world, humanity understands that there are certain laws and rules that society has to have that the world has to have. Pes those are those are already things that have nothing to do with this world. Says this, I want to tell you grace. He's going to prove it from theim. When we say it's on theim all those things that you do that your and your connect that attaches your goof to your there's no way you're getting in this world for that because that's called when we say that there's cost benefit that you get an advantage. You get an advantage from doing mitzvah in this world. Those are the type of mitzvah called which you would have done them anyway. They're the kind of thing that allows the world to continue. Let's see this inside. You're going to watch the mitzv. He's going to watch for you the how's the making such ter is I'm going to skip the other question. reward. There isn't. Even if it wouldn't be written, next paragraph. Everything that is Because it's something if people are going to steal from each other right and left you're not going to have a societ like by the world fell apart certain rules and regulations theor requires. So if [clears throat] he doesn't just do it, one second. If he doesn't just do it because it's logical, but he does it because the told me to do it says if you do it for the world, but if you do those for me, then you do it for me, you're keeping the tea around for me. I'm gonna keep the tea for you. I want I have five minutes. I want to explain this suga the suga of the zerimsh the idea that there is benefit from doing mitzvah in this world and that like we saw from the zor a person who does things who does the hashem will be that bad things shouldn't happen to him and have a certain it's anenishna The mission says the abisher created the world as we explained many times in 10 mish what took six days why can't you do it We gash me a stick mention we do things over time for us. You come to work, you build a building. It takes a day, a day, a half a year, a year depending on the project because we live in say and the world is created. You needed six days. That's the what took you so long? Why would you do that? You know why did it? You're right. [snorts] He could have built it in one day. He could not in one day in one instant. Explains the a world created in 10 is not a world created in a world created in 10 mamas is a world that's imperfect. that every single day it's being and it means that he created the world the way a human would create it. Abria which means that it is developing and this way can see like an a that means in English he can provide something and make a difference. Since the didn't create would have been created would have been perfect and me and you couldn't do anything in this world and what we were done wouldn't make enough because made it perfect. It was made to it wasn't made says the marau it was made according to the way people do it which means slowly slowly slowly 10 mur one of those mamures was to a human being one of the mamuras created nasa another mimer gave him an avoid to go ahead and do so that the became part of the bria You're doing the mitzvah. You become a partner with me because I created the world in a way that I'm opening myself up for partnership. If you do the right thing, you get your The world. Wow. The world's around because of you. What happened 10 generations into creation? Gave them so much rope they hung themselves. the whole world to give on except for Noyak who had to build a new world and live in a ta by himself and bring all the animals of the world. So the whole Bria, the whole Bria that the Aishra made existed in that ark in that ta for about a year because the rest of the Bria went. That's right. It all was gone. That's right. That's right. So says the that's the which is a logical those when you do it you're keeping the world around and you get for keeping the world going. That's part of what your is when it comes to Russia Shah. And the is going to judge us in two weeks, right? We're two weeks away. Two weeks from tomorrow. And there's a din. >> What's that? >> Two weeks. Right. Next shabas is And then the next Right. And and then the next Friday, two weeks from Friday, today's and then there's so we're two weeks away is making of what we did, right? So the famous kash that they ask what happens a person's nifer two days after rash sh or in between rash kipra so they don't do a judgment because they just did what kind of judgment does he have in shamay what kind of judgment is there >> two days >> for those two days anybody who thinks that way doesn't understand what rashashan is all about missed the boat completely [snorts] the judgment of what a person did in his life, what he accomplished, what he didn't accomplish. You don't judge that every year. They judge that when the life is over. Whenever the end of the time, a person's life, why should I make a judgment in the middle? That's not what rash is all about. The judgment of etc. That's a one-time deal that happens when a person's finished with his life. What's sh about sh is about this about every year when is his world the freight sadikim is opened who are those people that are going to be part of the makers of this world that's something which you make every year you start a New year. Who is my who is my team? Who's with me? And who is sitting on who's the benchwarmers, right? Who's the fourth string quarterback, right? Who's not getting any time? And who's there? Who's standing as ready to go? What should I take a look? Let me see where where is you know what he might be full of aus but this last year he moved in the right direction he could have much more aus than he has mitzvah but it doesn't matter he's part of the sadikim group you know why because he's positive he's making a difference he'sing >> he's on the d >> he's on the d that's right >> he's on the right way When the the dean of a person in his or her lifetime, what did you do? What did you not do? What have you accomplished? What have you not accomplished in your lifetime? When the life is over, that's when makes such it's very logical. That's when makes that when it's all over. Till it's over, what are you looking for? Right? It's not. So every year the is the mitzvah where a person gets what did he accomplish? How is he goofers in the sh did he do more good than bad? How much is connected? How much not connected? That's one that's one. There's a second. This world needs good people to run. They're good people make this. Who's part of the team? Where are you? Are you going to be part of this or not part of this? [snorts] My used to say, if a person wants to have a for the for the next year, be a from the do something for the clown. Don't be just a protistic. You know there are many ways of being part of the seabour. You can clean up the sperm. You're also part of that. You can put out shallow, right? You're also already part of that. So many different ways of being part. She's part of the he's part of the sending out. He's part of the big picture. He's the gaba, right? He makes sure people ding if there's somebody person going to dib. Then you have this you have that's the every year on Russ that's you're absolutely right. There is no in this world. But when the Tyra says if you do the mitzvah you'll have we're not talking about those mitzvah we're talking about the aspect of the of the world to keep the place going the regular. [snorts] If you're doing that then you're on the team and you're working and keeping the world going. You're going on your solar calls. You're doing this. You're doing your then you have for the next year for next week. My son is getting married on Tuesday evening [snorts] in Marina del Re. I'm sorry it's not local. Thursday there is Chevro, but I'd like to do hopefully I'm going to get her on time. We won't get stuck in traffic. I'm going to try to still have the shar next week even though we're going to try to start on time at 8:15 and finish a few minutes early. This way we can, you know, try to be uh Zaka says,
