Eikev 5786

Shalom and brocha, welcome to the weekly shiur of the Zera Shimshon. It's Thursday, parshas Eikev, tes zayin av taf shin peh vov. Klal Yisrael is on the holiday mode, vacation mode. And we are not sure how many people are going to be learning Zera Shimshon this week. And that only makes this zchus greater. If we have even one Yid that will learn this piece of Zera Shimshon, this zchus will be enormous. Will be unbelievable, unprecedented. Let's learn the first piece of Zera Shimshon to understand this. What it means when you have one Yid and one Yid only doing a mitzvah, what that can do for Klal Yisrael. The Zera Shimshon says in the ois aleph here, the pasuk begins, "Vehaya Eikev tishme'u u'shmartem la'asosam." "Vehaya Eikev tishme'un" is a lashon rabim. "U'shmartem va'asitem" "la'asosam" is all plural, all are rabim. The previous parsha, parshas Va'eschanan, finished with the pasuk, "V'shamarta es hamitzvah, es hachukim, es hamishpatim." Which looks like it's talking to a yachid, "V'shamarta", you, as an individual person, singular. Frey the heilege Zera Shimshon, why does the Torah switch? When we began, we ended the parsha "V'shamarta es hamitzvah" lashon yachid. And here goes "Vehaya Eikev tishme'un" lashon rabim. The holy Yeshaya says the Zera Shimshon in the second chat, "Zchus hayachid mo'il larabim." The Torah is telling us something very fundamental. If you have one yachid, one individual, that keeps the mitzvos, that goes the extra mile, that is moser nefesh on any which level, his zchus will be considered as if the rabbin did it. "O kishat Kayin u'shmartem" You have one person that's my kind of you it's like the entire cloud is so good it is that a you know how it's going to be looking at the end of when you have one person that you have one individual one family that says I'm going to do it then the angels reckons as if the whole cloud is so good it and that can bring shelter and that can bring and that can bring for the entire cloud is so so when we are on vacation mode and there's less people involved then we have to understand the responsibility and the host that one can have as tell us you should have my call call me call me we don't underestimate the value of one that one does so therefore this week we'll try to learn a piece of together and even if it's only for a it's all worthwhile and it's all going to benefit cloud is so but call my my say him another reason why it's important to learn this week this is the week where we talk about the block of children the whole year the opposite says obey me please I have my say her you going to have a block of children you going to have there higher than I am a and they will multiply and they will be a lot so we if in light of these words of that himself but you might as a then he will be to to the block of children and cloud is so will multiply multiply and every single year every single couple will merit to have Zara and children. Let's learn the pieces of Shimshon the end of this it's all of it's the end it's a few parts very long oyst in middle of the oyst aleph on page shin pain in their version that I have What's the understanding? Why does a person merit to obey the Torah or the mitzvah of having children and is to wealth and is to success because of having children and wealth. What's the understanding? What's the inner meaning? How do we reconcile these two things together? You do it because of having children and wealth. Then then the over the children and wealth. What's the understanding? So the Shimshon and this can be a something very important for us to know. So the Shimshon why does it say mishpatim? Because of having children and wealth. Mishpatim means things that are logical that are sensible. Mishpatim are things that even if the Torah wouldn't have said it we would have done it. Shame the world and the world because as Rashi says. So why is this going to be the car that a person will have children and wealth and if he keeps the mishpatim? So the Shimshon starts like this. Because there be a cause of having children and wealth. Because it means there's mitzvahs that people take for granted or treat them without the cover they deserve. Tomorrow mishpatim these mishpatim should be very important. It's obvious you borrow money you have to pay back. A person shouldn't steal. A person shouldn't rob. A person shouldn't These are mishpatim and everybody understands these things and we would have done it without the Torah. The person will understand that I'm keeping these mitzvahs not because it's logical, not because it makes sense. I'm doing it because the said so. Not because the world can't survive without them. And that's challenging for a person. Naturally, a person does these things because the world can't survive without them. And a person will overcome that if you know, I'm doing this lishma. I'm doing it cuz the said I shouldn't steal, I shouldn't rob, I shouldn't damage. If a person does that, then I shall make the heart as a priest with a headset. Why is that? But this is the framework of the suk. You keep the which are things that people don't do mitzvah. People do it because they know, they feel this is right, this is correct, this is appropriate. I know, a person does it cuz the says that he will be to all this bracha. It's a connected meter. The kind of these bottom are there we would think in order the world should survive. But the person didn't think about the survival of the world. He did it cuz the said so. So, he so to speak ignored the svara, the logic of oilam and said I'm going to do this cuz the said. This was a level of lishma and a level of ignoring his own rotson, his own calculation, his own hesbon, his own rationalization why this is important. He says, "No, I'm not doing it because of that. I'm not doing it for the world to have a key on. I'm doing it because the Aibershta said that Hashem will give him s'char. You ignored the kiyum oilam. So, I'm going to give you that you will be the conduit to bring hemshech and kiyum oilam. You will now merit to sustain the world and the world will have continuity. All these brachos that a person's going to get. He will multiply. His kids will be successful. There will be parnassah. Why? Because these things are necessary in order for the world to survive. And this is the middah k'neged middah. This person did these things l'shem shamayim, for the Aibershta, not for kiyum oilam. Hashem said, "Okay, if that's the case, I will make that you should bring shefa, bracha, and you will be the source of kiyum oilam. You're going to make the world survive. You're going to make the world flourish. You're going to in cause that the world will have continuity because of you. This is the middah k'middah, k'neged middah. You will merit to bring shefa, bracha, children, zar'a chaya u'kiyama into this world. I'd like to add, I saw a most beautiful p'shat in the sefer Sh'mu'os u'vinos of he should be well in the hemshech of tzu kiyum which ties in a little bit to this Zera Shimshon. Ah, said a beautiful p'shat. We know s'char mitzvah b'hai oilam ha'ba. We don't get rewarded in this world. So, why if so is this person getting s'char over here? So, he said like this. The pasuk says got s'char in this world. And Chazal say b'din hu she'yital s'charo. He deserves to get s'char. Why was he zocheh to get hard in this world? Stay to the sifrei kad moynim. Shop like this. When a person hires a worker, the key of to pay is only when you finish. So, ultimately, a person doesn't get scared in this world because he hasn't finished his job. S'chirus ainem is to learn Ella basoif. So, why if so the Pinchas gets hard? And the answer is since Pinchas is going to live forever, Pinchas is eternal everlasting Pinchas the Eliyahu so can't wait till the job finishes cuz the job is never going to finish. Most people their job finishes when they pass away. Not Pinchas, he never passed away. So, if so, when are we going to pay him? So, we have to pay him now. Zocher shem erish, the same applies to many other people that they are everlasting. They are eternal. When is that? When a person impacts the rabbin, a person encourages people to do something, a person's mechanech, he educates, he has a s'chur rabbin, this is going to be forever. Although this person will pass away, but his s'chur is going to keep on multiplying. His talmidim, his children, his moisters, his initiatives, they are continuing. So, when is this person's s'chur going to come? We can't wait until then. So, then Hashem gives the person s'chur in this world. And that's taich. V'aya ekiv tishme'u el mishpatim ha'eileh. You're living in this world of mishpatim u'shmartem es misvosai, which is a person that is careful to deal with the rabbin. And he has a s'chur rabbin to'er boi. He is somebody that is careful not just about himself, about klal Yisrael. Then, he is somebody that will get s'chur in this world. V'heivu chov rach v'rach v'chol breichosai v'chol breichos ha'aretz Hashem will give him s'chur in this world because it's never-ending. His s'chirus, his job that he's doing for klal Yisrael is eternal, he's immortal, and he never gets s'chur in this world. And this is a very powerful lesson. When we can be people that do mitzvahs on our own, but we can impact others, and those others could be our families, our spouses, our children, our shuls, then the person gets the in this world, and then he will be the only one to make him to be to have continuity, of this week's parsha, and all the brachos in the Torah, which you all be to see ultimately, the Beis HaMikdash and a good Shabbos.
