bar today is day number 308 of our daily
study of
RA and in the three chapters ofday study
track of M We are continuing
in laws of litigant claims and counter
claims admissions denials so on and so
forth and our Mitzvah today is the same
Mitzvah we've been studying for many
days positive commandment 246 which is
the Mitzvah to follow the ruling of
bezdan of the rabinal Court when there
are litigants who have claims on each
other um so it's a Mitzvah to follow
the ruling of the court and to bring
these claims to
court but I want to explain
something let's say that you have a
monetary claim meaning you're the one
you're the plaintiff or the would be
plaintiff yes it's Mitzvah to go to the
rabbis and have them
adjudicate
but what if you just want to let it go
is that okay or is it a Mitzvah okay so
I want to explain something that if you
don't want to let go of your claim then
then it is a Mitzvah to pursue the claim
in this way as
outlined in
toyra however if you would like to forgo
the whole claim if you're the plaintiff
or the wouldbe plaintiff and you you
just want to walk away from it P be my
guest and indeed the gamar in Milla says
that the great
T
hak you may know um you may not realize
he was the author of it but the famous
prayer he was the author of that prayer
he also wrote the cabala saer saer hab
here he lived very very long
and his students asked him what was his
Merit that he he he was able to live so
long and he said three things that were
that he did that were his Merit one is
he never took honor at someone else's
expense two is he never went to bed
without forgiving anyone that he may
have had a uh an interaction with where
if there were any feelings he would make
sure to forgive them before going to bed
and the third thing he said
is if anybody owed me money and they
weren't paying it I just dropped it I
just let it go and the gamot goes on and
says I the biblical job similarly when
he would go to a store if the shopkeeper
would give him the correct change then
he would take the change but if the
shopkeeper wouldn't give him change or
the correct change he wouldn't ask for
it he would just okay it is what it is
and this is held up as a virtuous way of
being so if you would like to pursue the
claim this is the way to do it but it's
considered a virtuous thing to say you
know what in the end of the day Hashem
keeps the accounts and uh everyone's
going to get what they're meant to get
no that's not a rationalization to say
that about the other guy like oh don't
worry about your claim against me yeah
Hashem will deal with it no no no no no
but when it comes to if it's you're the
one you're the Creditor you're the one
who's owed money or you you feel you
have a right to collect and you decide
you know
what I'm going to let it go so that's
considered very virtuous okay that's our
mitv for today we'll see you for more
tomorrow God willing
