🔥 Chazaq on the Parsha: Shoftim🎤 Rabbi Elan Segelman 🤔 A Positive Word

[Music] in this week's parish we read about the eglar roofa where a person is found dead and we don't know how he died the sages from the nearby city they come and they proclaim we are not responsible for this person's death we never had the opportunity to show him and neglect that opportunity and therefore we're not responsible for the death but the question is what does one thing have to do with the next improv causing someone to die how do we explain that i want to share with you a beautiful and insightful idea from of mayor shapiro of leblind the founder of the shapiro writes that when a person offers appropriate it's not simply giving food and drink and other things to the individual that they may lack but it's actually building them up as a person remember a guest is weak a guest is vulnerable and the warm environment and the words of positivity that the balabayas can offer actually builds them up as a person and gives them the success that they need to continue their journey that's exactly what the sages were saying that we are not responsible for this person's death he died but it wasn't because of us he never came to our house we never neglected that opportunity to build them up as a person and the takeaway for each and every one of us as we begin is to remember how important it is to give someone a compliment to give someone words of encouragement and inspiration we have so much potential we have so much power we can make such a difference in someone's life let us take advantage of that i wish you all a wonderful shabbos and a good elo
