Diamonds of the Maharal on Parshas Pinchas

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay going my wayside so uh today it's obviously a fast day um my father used to tell me he had a rebbe in shiva mendel kaplan he was a rebbie in philadelphia he was a talent so you would say you know somebody who learns on a fast day it's like muft so hopefully we'll get special uh special credit okay so um just if you have a comment in front of you it's good i just to see the words of rashi um the parachute begins angry and jealous against them yes and i didn't destroy them basically saying thanks a lot you withdrew my wrath from the israel you you prevented me from being angry question is the taurus why does it say pin has pinchas and everybody knows who penchas is pinchas is a well-known figure in hamesh why in this pasta is a pasta pinch says you see this ben puti take a look give a kick to ben pooty shapite a golem the father of his mother fat in cows prabhu dezara who was the father of his mother rabbi's mother was israel because his mother was the doesn't mean his mother but from his mother's side uh she she was a descendant of israel and yesterday was makriv tavai dazara so people say ah big big guy look what he does he's a ben uh zara and he kills the nasi from kali so he kills the nazi of shiva shimon bahari nasi shivami israel so you know imagine you have a guy he comes he's a big canoeing show then a guy talking or something guy gets up he slams him down to the floor and people says who's this guy think he is especially if the guy doesn't have good yikas people are going to mock him that's what they that's what they did to pinchas they said you think you are you your zedo was busy fanning chaos to buddha and you're you're killing you're killing naseem so therefore the torah is from his father's side he comes from aaron so this would be look at the words of rashi and whenever you learn rashi you have to be very precise and very perceptive to every nuance of word that rashi uses rashi says who was mavaza pinchas what's the washing of rashi who is malaza pinchas okay so the morale says like this the concept of yihas is always dependent on the shepham right because that's the patrilineal descent of what shaiva do you come from the concept of ichos is always is always uh delineated based on the shmatim so if you have somebody being ashamed about their nicholas the obvious perpetrator would be the shematim the concept of the morale is the reason rashford says in the future the evolution is going to give eidos like right now nobody really knows what shay that they come from there is no hazaka that anybody comes from any chevet that's why there are many institutions you know let's say your wife takes khala so she bakes five pounds so she's not preschooler you don't go and bring it to the cayenne to eat because no kayen really knows that they're kind if let's say you have animals you don't give the manas kahuna right just you can't give truma kaisang we don't know for sure you know we have a we have a good guess you could give our leos out but when it comes to something very serious then who knows but hashem is going to be made on the schwa what it's taco sheila that's why the going used to be paid uh by every single kind he met he was paid until he met a kai in that he felt confident yeah but it depends for what so in other words it's kazakh for maybe mama noise but not for something that they would be high miso for like halo or chuma yeah so you know hazako works for certain things than that for other things okay like we have passing and telling okay so that's that's the emphasis on the shavating okay we move on next offering next offering so who was his mother his mother was daughter of israel yeah so so allah married one of user's daughters elazar who is aaron's wife right who is aaron's wife so i believe from the benoys um the binocious right also so alicia and support michelle aren't married sisters no here um get me later on the taurus is like this so who who are the people that um pinch us killed zimri what's the name of the midianite woman um bemidji first of all let's see the first rashi from here you see the sin of the min look they took the daughter of the king and they were after her to cause us to sin so look how much they they they hate our gods that they took their the princess and they were masked of the princess to cause us to sin obviously they really hate us what's the right that they hate us maybe they're just trying to protect themselves so they got us to sin so hashem should punish us so that we want to attack them says i'm telling you i mean alone shall maybe they only did it to save their own skin and you saw that hashem should not be with quality how you miss israel they're very afraid of us that's why bellum gave us the eight son give them the ether to make us sin in other words what's the raya they hate us maybe they're just trying to protect themselves says like this the era we know at the end of last week's parashat it says kalisto had already encamped and sheet them for a long time we didn't wage war with them so they don't really have anything to be afraid of it's not like they were doing it to get us to sins hashem shouldn't be with us so we shouldn't attack because we were there already a very long time we didn't attack so why'd they do it and the lesson of yeshiva is akava staying there they're not going to be afraid of they must have done it out of pure hatred or says obviously they hated us because they didn't hate us and they wanted to save their skin they could have converted so and they just convert the answer is they have no interest they hate our guts so in other words the fact that they wanted us to sin demonstrates their hatred to kalani okay next rashi next rashi you have to figure out the question okay and if you do you get a prize says rashford i thought the whole reason that they wanted to be mocked the army straws because to save the skin later on like we learned yes yeah that's right so that's that reason that's you know more different yeah that's a little bit of a different level different mahala okay so who's cosby the pastor says he's reshuma cosby was hurt she was uh right so if you want to know who's the top official amid yon right sure is number one one of the five kings of million who later on we're going to list them s evie yes rakim they assure what does it say over there right it lists the five uh kings of midian let's see via so why is he listed number three over there ephesians because he shamed himself he acted despicable to be mafkar's daughter he went down he used to be leading the league and now you know he's demoted to number three why because he was mafker his daughter ah a viewer of the arrow right so that the kasha is if he was demoted so why isn't he demoted to the bottom of the list [Laughter] you know to other people but not the claw you saw so why isn't he bottom of the list so what would you say think mathematically somewhere else if you bound this somebody might make a mistake how do you know what direction you're going i'm right in the middle right now so he's stuck in the middle so either way whether first is the best you know last is the best try being a middle child right so you're stuck in the middle what was he first to begin with he was the most worst question he was the most sasha he's the muslim so he just throw her away now it is so effective okay so put them forth yeah so now it says no because then still people are gonna think that we're going last is the best at least he's second to best so the worst spot is to be in the middle okay it's interesting i could even pay attention to the detail you know tomorrow says this um why don't you put them last shift you might think we're going upward like because we'll still say that we're going to and he's the most positive except for except for one okay next offering torture them they tortured you they afflicted you with their plan when they try to get you to sin with power cosby okay says rashi why shift girl but i sent us was the most despicable the way you worship ours you defecate in front of that's the purpose of the away desire now just think about it and this is the purpose of allah like wow mama should be covered what's the indian the indian is when your god is so nothing it's so worthless that you have no boundaries not only you're not but you perform the most disgraceful thing so then and this is your conscience your conscience this is your god so you can do whatever you want in life and that was the reason why they served in order to worship by by desire but what about maya why didn't hashem tell cloud israel to destroy maya after all may of it was their idea i don't know maybe because uh cosby's daughter lives with the nazis so it's considered more prominent avira what was the main average the uh or was it the there's no source sort of a combination of both sounds like both right okay so the gemara says like that hashem is saying uh destroy the torment um but mayav and maya of uh they were not allowed to destroy because of ross and it's the apostle says later we'll see in the esma's do not destroy maya so the question is why did hashem have to tell me i should don't destroy maya if hashem told my shad destroy midyan and he didn't say don't destroy maya moshe is not doing anything on his own anyway right but she would not do anything unless hashem told him to so why would hashem have to say don't destroy maya hashem said destroy medyon and what shall be no is not a free agent everybody knows mushroom does not do anything unless hashem commands when aron came with the torres to try to protect the people who didn't die it's said what are you doing you're messing around i'm commanded to destroy the rest of claudius so aaron said i don't know moisha told me to do this and doesn't do anything unless hashem says so why would hashem have to say explicitly don't to our men of he's not going to do it anyway so imam says like this maisha allah says why would mushroom make a war if hashem didn't tell him why would hashem have to say explicitly don't torment maya ella no moisture outside had nothing to do with the whole war midian was just about the ballista median gave the advice to maya of what to do and yet hashem said omar acosta soros would have destroyed maya because he would have made him a cavalcade if hashem told me to destroy midyon destroyable so therefore hashem had to tell maya i had to tell maisha don't destroy maya but why did i have to say that because otherwise he would have made it it's not not what you're thinking i'm thinking it says it says hashem to you can't so taisus over there asks then when hashem told moshe al-tatsar asmaya hashem had not yet even told moshe to be soros in other words let's think again why did hashem have to tell my shed don't destroy mayoff because moshe would have made a kabbah khaimer who would he have made the kawahima from midyan but at that point in time hashem hadn't yet told him don't destroy hashem hadn't told him yet to destroy midyan so moshe want to have made the kavak why would hashem have to say al sarasmuyav before he told him samidyanam the only reason he had to tell him is because he would have made a kawak but he hadn't yet told him sarah samajana so toiso says in babakama that the reason why hashem told maisha al tatsara's mayav because hashem knew that ultimately when he tells him surah samidyanam he would make the kavakhaimer so he's basically preempting a kavakoyamer that he would make in the future okay one simple question you got the husband husband is hashem told moisha don't destroy him why would he have because he would have darshan the khan from there's a rule and the rule is you don't punish from a kavak you can't admit a punishment from a kawakai so why would moshe have punished that hashem said to destroy mid-june and they're only an accomplice to the crime certainly we have to destroy my of what do you mean we don't punish someone from a kavakaima so why would a muslim made that i'm making it so why did hashem have to preempt him that much would have made it was not a it was not a legitimate conversation he knew in the future they were going to get wiped out anyway he's going to finish the job early then okay but that's not what that's how the kumar says the gemara says that hashem had a preempt right so that's why i was preempted he was preempting a carbohydrate it was never actually made no no but but it's but it's not a cavachoy hashem the mushroom knows the laws of kabukim and he knew that he would never be able to destroy maya based on a kaabaquima so why would hashem have to tell him al tatsaras he never would have been sarah because the only way to beat suramayah would be to make a kavakam and you don't punish someone from a kabukin right you know it's it's a very common theme in chance the umar wants to know why does atari have to say if you live with your mother who's um your father's wife misa we know that if you just live with your your father's wife you have me so certainly if she's also your mother anyone says no you need to say it because you can't implement also you tell me why not says only applies to punishing someone for doing an aveira not for punishing rosham who are bad people why not so he quotes in the notes over here you know they're amazing hartman wrote a very extensive commentary on the morale so it sounds like like this what's up in chaminade why not a cava homer is a director you know when you married your wife you didn't give her a star you gave her money you give her a ring yeah are you married you're married right how do we learn how to do shaykh well why can't you punish somebody with the kawakami what's the logic of the inuit what's the logical inner instrument okay there's everything in mas here in minaden in other words vita already said you know to do it so the person is already warned now the question is what about the punishments we say no in china so says like this says an amazing thing and others say this as well let's say somebody doesn't have air and the torah says so tara is saying that with misa they get kaphara so now you want to say well certainly a guy who did a much worse average misa maybe his average so bad he doesn't deserve katharine who says he could just get nescafe with with the same isa a new instrument just because a guy did a class a class nine avira he gets to be having zavira wiped out by um by this misa me tesa the guy who does a much worse avera is able to get off the hook with the misa so it says the gorarier that's that applies by but we're not punishing ganym because we want to give them atonement and we want to rectify their souls we're punishing them because they're bad and we want to take revenge there's no to that the rule does not apply to such a situation yeah okay one last thing one last thing wasn't also another reason why they didn't we didn't give us food when we walked in when we were traveling together are not permitted lovely because they're not permitted to marry into mainstream claudius all because that's why we can't marry them but still we're not to kill them so they're punished on one hand but they're protected on the other hand they're punished we can't marry them but they're protected because ultimately we have to marry one of their one of their girls from rosanne and we'll have it after that after that taco not wiped them out so rizal says that every uma has their life for us so the life force of maya was was was david it was once that happened so now that basically they dissipate right so so the whole it's what what um what bollock was afraid of is he was afraid that kaiser would come and marry into them and take out david right away and that would be the end of them so that that's why he came to film okay last offering last offer okay i'll tell you the second answer i'll end with this says i have a question if any nation let's say one nation wants to come into another nation and just attack them and destroy them you can do it it's a free country one one nation is always allowed to attack another nation so maisha abano has the right and the authority to come and destroy maya why not lmi what's the problem here why wouldn't misha do it because they're good citizens and you're not going to kill another nation no the reason he wouldn't do it is just simply moshe doesn't do anything unless hashem gives him the go-ahead so the only thing holding mushroom back it's not it's not how could i kill moyo they're nice people what's holding him back is hashem didn't tell me and i don't do things on my own i don't just do things without roshas mama the khal of hoymer gets around the in other words moshe could say to himself do i need to ask you now hashem already told me to destroy midyan so i'll make a cava coimer he probably wants me to destroy mayhem as well so now what are you going to say in minadin i'm not punishing them from a cava claimer i'm allowed to any day of the week go and destroy my off like any nation that's how the world works the world works that country is allowed to come in and take over other countries so moshe would say i'm not attacking them because of a kavaka i'm not killing them because of killing them because malata killed them lmi i don't do do anything unauthorized so the kava claimer is merely a way of it's like a way of netilas rashus it's a way of taking permission i'm killing them because we're allowed to we need to get through we need to get through with israel hashem didn't give me permission the kaaba khaimah is a form of permission and therefore you can't ask the question of innocent you have a voice have an easy kindness you kill one person it's considered a murderer you kill a whole nation you consider the conqueror you've just experienced another torah class brought
