Does it matter which court of law?? Feat. Mendy Pellin!

you made it to the lake parsha show with Ellie Weiss right here right now I hope you're not in the bathroom if you are we'll wait a second watch it all right ahead of the better let's take it away Ellie let's drag it welcome to the late partnership our chefs miss button which brought that means judgments and the Torah portion opens and these are the judgments respond to means judgments and the Torah portion opens and these are the judgments that you should place before them discussing civil law God's civil law the holiest of Allah the real civil law and how you should bring any judgments to them then being the Jewish courts the rabbi judges the rabbi judges coming soon okay maybe not actually it's not just God's suggestion to get our case tried by best in the Jewish courts of law but that we are commanded to you specifically and only the Jewish courts and not to have our case tried by the secular courts of law even if they're ruling what accord with the Torah but what's the big deal I mean if the secular court would say the same thing the Jewish court would what's the big problem if I have judge ami tell me the sentence or rabbi doctor judge Joe tell me why is he a doctor I don't know just whatever well we all know we have an evil inclination you know what you didn't know that well you see we're not you want to our sages tell us how our evil inclination works and as you can see it's very complex ha once again that's not at all what the whiteboard is talking about it's also not so complex the way our evil inclination can make us in it's not just by downright asking us to sin but he kept us little by little today he says do this it's a permissible thing God doesn't say you can't do it tomorrow he says do another permissible Act you know just just cuz you like it God doesn't say you can't enjoy yourself little by little he has us enjoying and indulging in life's pleasures permissible pleasures permissible things yet but as Jews we're not supposed to be so indulged in materiality and while the evil inclination has a smacking our lips and indulging in the pleasures of materiality he also has this becoming less sensitive to spirituality and then he can god forbid make us in the evil inclination will even tell us to do a mitzvah he's like a double agent he tells us to do a mitzvah but only because we enjoy it but not because God tells you to do it but do it because you enjoyed it too it doesn't make sense so you see when a person listens to zero inclination and does the right thing because it makes sense you didn't even fall so low as to sin because he took God's holy commands the mitzvot and made it about his own intellect and he's now a perfect target for the evil inclination so now we can understand why Shem doesn't want to score in the secular court even when it's gonna give the same law as the Torah would the mitzvahs the Torah law are godly is godly is art whatever you get the point the missus and the total law are godly they have no place in human rationale it's not because we understand or feel them a certain way that we perform them but rather because this is the godly channel by which we connect to God and are nourished physically and spiritually and one more Mitzvah is all that we need from a chef now wait is it in case it out to another one shabbat shalom [Music] you see like you made it to this week's [Music] the late-night purchase show and I thought you watch it every wise the problem Mary she does know a wise you know what you know that's what you made it huh [Music] you
