Parsha Perspective For Today - Behar-Bechukosei 5783/2023 - All Brothers and Sisters

good morning welcome back to partial perspectives for today we got a lot to cover bahara side two partios this week as we round out the book of vayekra big thank you to our generous Pasha series sponsors back in all the cats and family in memory of Becky's Father David Grossman ilishment was thank you to the Grossman for their incredible for the cat says for the incredible generosity as I said we got a lot to cover pasha's Bahar begins page 696 in the Arts girl Hashem spoke to moshead harsina we've spoken much about in the past why does this Parsha begin that God spoke to Moshe at harsinai all Mitzvahs were given at her singer what's special about shmita what's special about the beginning of this parisha Russia of course is bothered what the shemit to have to do with arsinai specifically one could give this introduction for every mitzer we're not going to get into right now you can listen to previous year the land shall rest the land needs to sit the land needs to remain valid we do so to protect and preserve the richness of the land that we want the land to produce then you have to allow the land to rest and this way the law of shemitah is very much a metaphor for men we are liking we are like the tree of the field we are like the field and we need to rest we need Shabbos once every week we need shemitah once every sabbatical cycle we need to build and rest something Our Generation desperately needs we are always in motion always in movement always doing always going and sometimes we need to learn to stop we need to learn to be still Shabbat six years you plant six years you six years you uh prune and their self-test Versa you gather your now it's not a concession ramosha Feinstein points I'm here six years working is part of the Mandate Mission work the land protect the land make the land work for us let the land produce for us the Torah is giving it as an instruction it's not if you need if you have to no one else will provide then go work six years ago and plant six years ago and plow six years ago and prune and then you can collective in the seventh year is shemitah last year in Israel was a shemit a year in the tower delineates the many detailed laws complicated and difficult and Barack Hashem we're privileged to be living at a time in a generation shemitah is being more widely observed than in a very long time maybe than ever and it's a very very beautiful thing hopefully a very great Merit for the Jewish people but skip ahead Pera Cafe because the Torah here tells us something very interesting gives us all these laws and says what if you're going to fear what if you're going to fear what's going to happen top of page and you will dwell securely on the land is there a greater bracha as we meet this morning on this beautiful like Boomer wishing everyone a good yantef a life should be illuminated by the light of rashem is a day of deep and profound gratitude the day the man began to fall like bomber the Earth said so much but as We Gather to study these partios cities in the south of Israel are being evacuated because just last night Israel went in and finally some would say eliminated some Terror leaders and they expect a retaliation in countless Rockets so is there a greater broccoli The Hope and the dream to live with peace and Security in the land of Israel here anticipates Natori here tells us what what what are you going to say Hashem says six years worked to land the seventh unpaid sabbatical last year in shemitah we did a few shemitah programs one of them we had a wonderful farmer Alana twil came to share her experience with her husband of letting their field lay follow an unpaid sabbatical and what do you do in that unpaid sabbatical year you sit and you study Torah you learn you connect and come close to Hashem what else do you have to do that takes enormous amuna takes enormous Faith to take not a paid sabbatical there's no faith in getting a patriotical and faith that they'll want you when you come back that's the only Faith there's no faith in having a paid sabbatical but an unpaid sabbatical so it's only natural that the farmer is going to say what do you mean if we're not plowing and planting and pruning and harvesting what will we eat in the seventh year Halon is reveling so Hashem says relax don't worry I'm going to if you anticipate you will indeed observe the law of shemitah and rest in the seventh year on the sixth year I'm going to up my game says God I'm going to shower blessing on you the Assassin in the sixth year you'll have enough for the sixth seventh and eighth year you will be good to go yeah so in the eighth year you leave from the old crops until the ninth year you'll have enough in the 60th for the sixth seventh and eighth year and you'll get back into business in the ninth year you are good to go this is brought down we might have mentioned this in the past as one of the examples of sources of evidence of the Divine authorship of the Torah because if you were a man or Committee of man of people writing a Torah why would you offer a promise that you can't follow through on because what's going to happen how long will your religion last until seven years after you create it maybe six when for some the promise may not come true that their field will yield enough for the sixth seventh and 8th so is this maybe this is evidence that the Divine authorship of the Torah that akashbark who wrote the Torah but in any case sixth seventh and eighth year person is going to say what will we eat last year I believe it was last year we quoted ravinder the great rebender and his wonderful say Frank Homer says notice the Torah does it criticize the farmer who asks manokao it doesn't say maybe you'll say the weak among you will say the anxious and nervous among you will say those with little faith will say it's not what the Torah says what does the torah's present when you will predictably understandably say what will we eat quoted sources so beautifully to reassure us and validate that when a person has concerns when a person is anxious that is not in fact a breach of Faith it's consistent with Faith from the very fact that the Torah anticipates and predicts and validates and doesn't criticize the individual who asks what will we eat in the seventh year doesn't say what's the matter with you where's your emuna but says it's a reasonable question it's a legitimate concern let me tell you how we'll deal with it that is in fact reassuring to us who sometimes are concerned or nervous that is built in understands that was last year but this year I want to share a helium anomaly melach the great normally quotes what in the imro's tahorus the rahmashrift kareba quotes and the imro's and he says I don't know how often he gives that one of the places the great reposition it's a beautiful book that came out a few years ago an English book of the story of the Holy Brothers the two brothers so he quotes his brother the rebel reposition uses very very beautiful language to describe his brother and invoking this teaching of his brother his brother asked God responds don't worry when you worry when you panic I will increase I'll up my game I'll give you even even greater bracha you're growing up in the 60th for the sixth seventh and eighth year hello normally consolidates the donor normally is succinct the Torah normally doesn't use 15 synonyms but just gives it over easily and here the Torah seems to elaborate the Surah seems to expand and dwell if you'll say you might say you're going to say you have a question here's what the answer is what's with all the elaboration what do we have to anticipate and predict the questions we have to elaborate and dwell on and give the lengthy answers what's going on over here and then ayalo Lamar takeoff we should have said immediately if you worry and if you say what will we hey or leave out the question why doesn't the Torah simply say here's a law called shemitah every seventh year rest let the land lay fallow end I'm going to increase my broker don't worry I finished 11 off in the 60 for the sixth seventh and 8th why does it have to be Pro why does it have to be prompted by the farmer's question just offer the bracha just offer the guarantee why is the guarantee only offered as a response in the context of the fear of the Panic or the question of the worry of the farmer azifer this was the question of the Rebel obsession foreign it sounds like God's only offering the guarantee he's only offering a promise as a response to the worry foreign so what happens if you don't panic and you don't fear and you don't worry and you confidently obey the laws of shemitah and you let the land lay fallow then you don't get the bracha of in the 60 you're growing enough for the sixth seventh and eighth year is the one who expresses worry and doubt uncertainty and fear and the one who sends back and says God you tell me jump I say how I you say let the land lay follow I say no problem who should be more guaranteed the bracha the one who showed the greater faith and yet the Torah presents it almost as if you need to show doubt and then you invoke God's brother and if you didn't Express the doubt you're on your own doesn't make sense the Yama Lavar said the river of zusha quoted by his brothers he created all kinds of pipeline all kinds of highways of bracha of blessing to descend from the Heavens to provide and fulfill all that Adam all that we need um created a world and the world can rain down all the bracha that we need if you need an image of what that means it created an ecological cycle we know that's true in the physical sense for the farmer to grow what it is he need he needs precipitation clouds converting into rain water there's a whole cycle because the world with precipitation in clouds and rain and that's my entire knowledge of the Eco cycle right there the ecosystem but it created it and set it in motion to provide for us and similarly metaphysically spiritually he created an ecosystem of pipelines was able to rain down on us from brought down in kabbalistic sources that the pipe the pipeline the channels through which the bracha descends upon us come through the hajjas PanAm the Pais and the beard cannot say when you trim the beard or you cut the payers you sever the pipeline you cut off the pipeline and you are preventing the flow of bracha from falling down that's it's uh kabbalistic that's why them don't trim their beard whatsoever from the moment it grows in who needs the Omer they never try and touch the beard the entire their entire lives okay let's see notos these channels that come down that come down and once Hashem sets it in motion just like the ecosystem in the Eco cycle just like precipitation and Rain shampressed play set it in motion he is still of course the source behind it because divinely determining when the rain falls but he said it in motion but we have sick and there is no barrier is these pipelines these channels of broccoli descend upon us and there is no breach there is no barrier There Is No Interruption to them when we are worthy when we expressed but if you start to interfere and you say I'm sure you got this how are you going to work that exactly how will you make sure I don't go hungry what's gonna happen the market looks like it's down how's this my retirement fund what's going to be with the pledge I made to the capital campaign counting on the fact that I'm a little worried I'm a little nervous how are you going to do it how are you going to arrange it how's it all going to work out when we express doubt you know what doubt does doubt punctures a hole in the pipeline in the channel of bracha from above it's flowing freely it's flowing beautifully it's flowing at High Velocity sit back and enjoy you will get what you determine Hashem determines you need he'll get what we each need what's best for us and when we express doubt we puncture a whole we make a leak in the channel in the pipeline of bracha coming down from foreign he sends one of his Heavenly Celestial repair people and they have to come down now and repair the pipe pipe has flown beautifully all was working you have to open your mouth you had to challenge you had to question you had to worry you put a hole in the pipe he's gonna now repair the pipe so that the floor could continue again so when you express doubting him with sebaceous biracause he's got to send the repairman to go fix the pipe to go start the flow again had you never asked had you never challenged had you never wondered how you never panicked there would never be a breach there'd never be a break there'd never be a hole he would never have needed to restore the flow to restart the brachi so with that the representation answered both his questions why does the Torah elaborate why not just say to begin with this is going to be shmita and right after shemitah I'm going to give you more than ever you know why you wouldn't have needed that bracha the broker was already coming you didn't need to renew or restore the bracha it was already flown what precipitated having to renew and restore the bracha was the doubt the hesitation the challenge to Hashem and that's why Torah needs to elaborate couldn't succinctly say keep shmita it'll be a big brother if you'll ask what are we going to do then I'll have to restore the bracha and that's why Torah presents it no the one who expresses the doubt is the one who needs the bracha if you never express the doubt you don't need the bracha why because you won't get the bracha no because there was never an interruption to the flow of the bracha it was flowing all along it was flowing non-stop it was flowing and a beautiful high velocity and that's what the red zusha said he quotes the Torah continues the land will give its fruit you lead to your satisfaction and you're going to live sit securely on it and as I said certainly our brothers and sisters in Israel are very much on our minds today every day but as they face this threat A Renewed threat likely from the south we wish to sit with safety with security in Israel betahon is security a Muna this is really for the ammunition but amuna is the knowledge there is a creator there's a Creator who created the universe said it in motion there's a Creator who is intimately knowledgeable and involved in everything of Our Lives that's amuna what's pitahon is my security guard I put my faith my safety my security in him he's my security be talking so he quoted based on this is if you ask any provides and you eat to your satisfaction no more questions no more doubt no more worry when you realize every day you have something in your belly and a roof over your head and you figured it out all that worry all that fear all that Panic as the great Mark Twain once said I've had so many fears and concerns so many worries in my life almost all of which never came true there's a much better quote but it's something like that that's much better you can Google it but Mark Twain once said something like that I've had so many words in my life almost all of which never came true take initiative work hard be proactive six years you have to go work can't just sit back and think that you're gonna get ubereats delivery to the door paid for Courtesy of someone else if you get up you need to go to work but once you do if you shift it's when you ask this ma know how what will I eat now you're going to create your own problems because your question your doubt your uncertainty you're questioning the faith that's what punctures the whole that's what puts a leak in the pipe if you want the pipe to work you shop to move in Hashem that is the normal mouth quoting his brother the again if you like last year a bender go with rebender rebender validated and reassured it's only normal to worry if you'll ask that's normal it's natural you're good to go this year is no don't ask don't worry work on your be talking it's the beauty of Torah every year you have a different vort I yeah that was last year this is this year Torah has layers and layers and layers and it tells us what we need to hear any given year so if you need to either a bender here they're a bender this year you need to hear the rubber absorsha hear the rubber of zusha each year we hear what we need to hear Zion sorry going backwards Torah tells us Backpage 698. is Torah tells us here when it comes to the purchase the transfer of land of property in this context you shall not lost you shall not agree with your fellow man sorry questions us against which is financial usury don't charge too much don't charge exorbitant unreasonable prices and here the Torah is telling us not only financially to charge exorbitantly but don't lose to mislead to agree to aggravate because I am the Lord your God our great our favorite says the following below Sanu Isha Sam is harass don't hurt don't tell your friends about chuva remember when you used to do everything wrong don't mislead and you go to the hospital visit someone and you see someone else and they say it's so nice you came you have to be honest it's not going to hurt someone's feelings you have to be careful person has to be careful so the quotes here very interestingly I was excited when I saw this because someone asked me recently and I didn't have a mocker I didn't have a source I didn't know the gemara Baba bastard tells USANA we all know that as of Rosh Hashanah Hashem determines our income our Revenue our livelihood for the year Devin hard Davenport because it's signed and sealed what you're going to get this year what does that mean so why go to work signs and sealed what I'm gonna get so here's the direct deposit Hashem just send it right in wire it over why do I have to go to work so the answer is doesn't mean here's the number it means here are the brackets of what you can get here's the maximum you got to still work you got to put in the time you got to take the initiative you got to make the effort but you can make all the effort in the world you won't make more than it which is why a person can't show excessiveless we've spoken we've given 300 emunashiram we've spoken early on in them this balance between faith and initiative if you show Too Much initiative you have no faith too little initiative because you think you have faith as a counterfeit it's not an authentic Faith what's the right balance what's the right amount of initiative to take if Hashem wants you to be a millionaire he can make you a millionaire working 12 hours a day not 18 hours a day so when you work more than what's reasonable and normal then you're taking excessive initiative that's a lack of faith in Hashem but if you say I'm gonna work an hour a day and Hashem give me a lively of a full-time job if you take too little initiative and you claim it's because you have faith in God that's a corrupt type of a faith it's not a genuine real faith just like just like Mizuno how much money are you going to make this year what are the bracket what's the maximum amount you can make this year what's the potential you can make this year that was determined on Rosh Hashanah similar your losses this year were determined on Rosh Hashanah so you know that investment that went bad you know the market went down you know a person hit your car and drove away and didn't leave their insurance now you've got a deductible to pay that was all determined on Rosh Hashanah so don't get bent out of shape about it now because that was all decided on Rosh Hashanah the safer Omar Malaya Omer I don't know the safer like since I plots only the outside I don't know what the safer is pinchov he was the Sun I think the uncle I'm not sure exactly anyway he writes is don't agree don't aggravate your friend have all of God I am God the United says the following interesting thing if a person agrees aggravates a friend he'll have to lose out from what he gained elsewhere you can't gain more than when God determined for you to have so if you gain in an unjust inappropriate corrupt way then you'll have to lose somewhere else someone asked me recently let's say it was determined from above Hashem this year you're going to make a hundred thousand dollars but now you cheat lie steal so you were able to get another ten thousand is that included in the hundred thousand hashems that you'd get or did you beat the system did you cheat the system you'll pay there'll be a consequence but you cheated the system by making more outside of what was determined so he says from here we are located um don't try to make your friend lose or gain figure out their calculation because they took from elsewhere now they have to lose from here and yes let Hashem decide we don't get even we don't take revenge we don't try to manipulate Kurdish bar who decides so you can't beat the system if you unjustly earned that comes off the top of what Hashem had determined you're going to get and Hashem is the one who calculates and has the mass spreadsheet he's the one who keeps the entire system page 702 tells us what happens if your brother becomes impoverished you must strengthen him strengthen them he can live with you last year we shared an entire insight into this your brother becomes impoverished he falters with you the beautiful bashem we shared this last last year it means that if you saw it it happened in your vicinity if you became aware of it you're meant to do something about it we don't believe in Judaism that you ever have the luxury of burying your head can't close your eyes can't pretend you didn't see you can't say it's someone else's problem but if you're aware image if it happened in your vicinity if it happened in your presence step up and do something next person you cannot take interest and you have to fear God let your brother live with you this is the total prohibition you're not allowed to take interest you're not allowed to Torah here says there's a Biblical prohibition to pay interest in a Biblical prohibition to charge interest both parties violate the law if they invoke interest Rashi says Tori here specifically says when it comes to this law don't charge interest be God-fearing why this law why doesn't it say for other laws our partios are replete with all these laws and not every law ends with Sheikh the love be God-fearing put up the masses of be God fearing we're thrill and be God-fearing don't let your neighbors blood be spilled be God fear not every lions with that so why specifically oh no charging interest in usury why does that end with it and Rashi tells us you know why because people have a really hard time parting with their money and you know what it's really legitimate to charge interest there's a time value of money this Insight is most meaningful this year when if you keep your money in the bank for the last several years when I said this VAR Torah you were earning 0.0001 interest so you're cash burning a hole in the bank was doing nothing and if you lend it to your friend don't charge interest big deal it's exactly what you were getting in the bank but today goodbye munis you could buy bonds we're just sitting in a cash fund in the bank what's it earning today four five six percent thank you inflation but that's what it's already sitting in a bank so your friend comes to you and says I've hit some hard times can't pay my mortgage or I have an opportunity in business I need some seed money can I borrow money say sure what do you need I need a hundred thousand dollars done but here's the deal that hundred thousand dollars would have given me back a hundred and five thousand dollars so you could borrow the hundred thousand but you got to give me back five thousand because by lending you the money I'm happy to not lose money by lending it to you but I don't want to lose money I don't need to make money I don't want to lose money there's a Time Value to money there's the interest I stood to earn if I'm not earning it you should pay it moreover the hundred thousand dollars even if it weren't sitting in the bank I could have deployed it I could have invested it I could have made a return on it so I'm losing that opportunity the time value of money so Rashi says all this Rashi was a winter he ran a business he understood the time value of money he understood inventory of wine and Rashi says people understand basic economics and finance they understand the Constantine value of money they want to recover not lose when they lend so it's only natural to be Motorhead there it's only natural to say well the circumstance is different this is unusual in this circumstance it's okay to lend with interest and that's why the Torah has to say specifically here the areas buddy time value shine value economics 101 you're not so put aside all your fancy calculations don't be motor Heather don't look for a leniency don't justify your behavior be God-fearing and God says a Jew can't charge interest this is an area where a person would tend to would likely be more Hatter what does being more Hatter mean look for a leniency to look for the leniency this is a message to our generation the chat gbt generation the Google postsec generation that says you know rabbi I Googled it and I found epis a rabbi who lived at this time in this place that wrote every other Rabbi in the history disagreed with him but I dug up a source I found some Rabbi I found a contemporary Rabbi who lives on the moon who never ever heard of we don't know where Smith is from but it says Rabbi before his name and he said I can do this so I can do it I want to be able to go here music sphere I want to be able to go here the it's colesha but I want to be able to go with the Broadway show I dug up a rabbi who said epistas I can do this where does the phenomenon of being more Hector come from our generation suffers from this instead of adopting a sense of year wanting to follow aloha and where is the source of being Moda Hatter the phenomenon of a population who look for the lowest common denominator who seek the most lenient position who want the easiest way out that comes from a lack of hiroshimaim is if you have a healthy dose of Hashem you're not looking for the easiest way out you're not looking for the least you're not looking for the biggest leniency you're looking to do it right you're looking to get it right I once was at a uh meeting of a group of Rabon and a big Rob spoke to them and he said about a certain Community I won't use the name or the label he used for that segment of the Orthodox community and he said you know many of them they they and I think it was wrong to generically lump a group together I remember being deeply offended at the time that I heard it and later coming around to believing to agree with him but this demographic or this segment of society of the Orthodox community if you view keeping halacha as Shah really Shabbos is annoying Castro's is restrictive davening is detailed sneezes is uh inconvenient repressive that I don't want to be doing any of this I just want to fit in I want to live freely I want to be in a country club life I want to eat and go and do whatever I want whatever I want however all of this is it's an emergency situation I don't really want to be doing it so halacha has a system that's called if something is if it's a you know sometimes you have an emergency situation you have extenuating circumstances in extenuating circumstances we will employ a leniency because of the extenuating circumstances so evolve your Yiddish kite is one big extenuating circumstance that I don't want to be here you'll always be looking for leniencies but if you say what are you talking about this is not extenuating circumstance this is my life this is the air I breathe this is the flow of broken from above this is my whole life this is my identity and I'll never look for a leniency I want to get it right and I want to do it right and tell me what to do I was deeply offended when I heard it I've come to believe it had a lot more truth than I first thought if you live life I don't really want to be here and it's miserable and I just want to be like everyone else I want to do what everyone else does and I'm stuck doing this because it's my parents my grandparents because the shame Factor my kids won't get but really my whole lifestyle this whole Judaism all this all this is just ah it's just it's just a big extenuating circumstance I want to get out of then you're always looking for the leniency you're always looking for the least you can do that's a lack of the aresham that's what rash is telling us where does Mora Hector come from a lack of your increase the year of shamayam and you won't be Motorhead a person with non-kosher person who eats non-kosher in that moment they know they're doing something wrong they're eating non-kosher it's not a lack of hiroshimain per se it was this incredible appetite they had for the non-kosher they couldn't give in they couldn't withstand their urge their appetite the person who lends with interest they don't say I'm doing something wrong but alas what can I do my eight Sahara was so strong they say yeah that law it's archaic it doesn't apply this is a different reason it's a different time I generally uh they're more a Hector they're more Hatter and that's why I said that's why Rashi quotes it that's why the Torah tells us now when it comes to eating non-kosher it doesn't say avoid the cheeseburger be God-fearing because the person with the cheeseburger knows they're doing something wrong they don't say oh Jesus not cheeseburgers not a burger it's not an app it's a cheeseburger they don't start to be more to Hatter they know it's a cheeseburger but what can I do I love cheeseburgers so I'm wrong but I'm eating it I can't help it that's what they say but when it comes to Ribbons when it comes to money and people craving and holding onto their money now they're more Hector ah it's not really ribbous and this is why and it's okay here and that's okay then the original any place where you're tempted to be more Hatteras to assert have a healthy dose of Euros so that you will not fall prey to wanting to be mora heter not wanting to be Morehead quotes very interestingly it's a whole book I had a great River Shiloh last week somebody asked me last week two weeks ago a great rib of Shyla Great River Shiloh somebody invested with that money for a potential investment but the potential investment hadn't yet come to fruition but there needed to be some Original Seed money so someone gave them a million dollars open a new bank account LLC put in the bank account so the million dollars is ready for when the investment will will be uh ripe three six months later the investment had not yet come the opportunity was not yet there to put the money in for the investment but the person who had given the original Money says now to the person who's going to be doing the investment I just realized for the six months it's earning five percent so I want back not only my money I want what it was making in the bank in this delay during this time before the money was deployed in the investment so the question came to me was that money alone towards the investment so now it's ribis it's interest or was it a deposit was it a picardo how do you view that money so who's the person to call who wrote the book on ribis Israel reisman the article book and rhythmus one of the most complicated areas in all of on this complicated procurement shots is a Nasha these problem are incredibly difficult so I call Robert Osmond he told me to distinguish how do you distinguished between the Havana picardo alone and a deposit and where Moshe felt was a defining Factor was is there a personal guarantee is there a personal guarantee on the money and is the person entitled to use the money for any purpose other than the investment so if not bank account he could have used the money for something else in the meantime and there was a personal guarantee on that money that's a loan out of deposit but if it was limited how he could use it and there was no personal guarantee on it it was it because on an investment and it would not be interest ribbous to return it with what it was making in the bank account very interesting conversation has a different discussion and Robert Eisman I believe addresses this in his safer in the article book on ribbus as well there is a rabbinic form of ribis if the malva tells the lover the lender tells the borrower he should tell him if so-and-so came from such and such a place because it's a favor it's a benefit to the lender from the borrower that in itself can be a form of Interest other forms of ribbous even with words are prohibited what's rib is with words he quotes in The Shame of the safer marbitara the following when the borrower pays back the lender can he say thank you is thank you interest on the loan maybe you have to just return the loan but the verbalized thank you what does thank you mean thank you translates to I'm indebted to you I'm not paying interest on the loan you lend me a hundred bucks I gave you back a hundred bucks plus I'm indebted to you I've now given you interest on the loan with my thank you so are you allowed to say thank you when you return alone can't charge interest can't pay interest when you say thank you Google money you pay it back you say thank you foreign before you've paid once you give the money and transfer it maybe now it's no longer subject to ribis a big discussion he quotes foreign don't say thank you for the loan say thank you for all the effort in arranging the loan thank you if you specify the thank you is for the effort in arranging the loan the thank you is not for the loan then it's okay if you want to know how far how complicated this Allah's go not for now you got to learn these Allah what if somebody had you over for a meal and served your chicken and now you're gonna pay back the debt by having them over but you're gonna serve them corned beef astronomy getting a roost is that interest they served your chicken you're gonna serve the meat maybe that's interest on the debt alone if they had you over that's how far these complicated allahs go es that's why you have to be told be God feeling of a healthy dose of all of God in order to make sure you get it rightskin has a thought on Remus and he says thee following don't charge ribbous so that your brother can live with you you're a lot of charges to a non-jew if it's unethical why can you charge it to a Jew if it's ethical why can't you charge it to a Jew if it's ethical why can't you charge it to a non-jew if it is ethical why can't you charge it to a Jew what's the answer it's totally ethical we explain there's a time value of money why should you lose money to lend money it's totally ethical to lend to a non-jew it's just you're a low life if your brother needs money and you charge them interest so the Torah is trying to Foster and condition a sense that we're all Brothers we're all family so even your neighbor who's not related to you comes a fellow Jew and says I need to borrow some money no problem I'm not charging you waitress you're in the family when it's all family you don't charge your interest the ballot term says if you learn with interest you won't live long interest in gamatria is you're a snake will not be healed so you will not be healed you're a low-life snake if you lend your brother with him your brother needs money your brother's squeezed and you're going to learn with interest I'm not making a comment I don't know enough to make a comment but there's a big discussion should those who are some be in the cash advance business is that a proper business for somebody who's your shamayim a lot of the interest levels in the cash advance business and the position that people are in and what they need to agree to I'm not weighing in I don't know enough but I do know that there's a big discussion even if something meets the letter of the law of Allah is it moral is it what is the connection between the snake and a person who lends with interest so it sayskin the kliakar Icarus is interest you don't believe in God if you if you learn with interest you're so worried about making money with your money that you don't think God's gonna take care of you your brother needed money you think God's gonna make you not whole because you took care of your brother his other child so what is really the problem of lending with interest is not a violation between man and man what sort of violation between man and God do you lend with interest you're actually showing a breakdown in your faith in Hashem is not to believe in Hashem no you could touch it he won't do anything you can eat it he won't do anything Hashem didn't really mean it hashem's not really there I shouldn't really want to hold you accountable that was the icker of the hate the real core of how the nakash let us astray was to say he's not really in charge he doesn't really control things he doesn't really care he's not going to really hold you accountable it's the same mindset of the one who lends with interest the one who lends with interest thinks he's not really there he doesn't really see he doesn't really have a say he doesn't really care he's not going to really hold me accountable but you know what my money needs to be making me money even on my brother so I'm going to lend with interest that's where it comes from and that's the suggestion of surotskin based on the cliocker that's why the balturum Compares the nachash to the one who lands of interest that you have no future and that you will not be and that you will not be healed if you admit you agree you are committed to observe the law of ribbous of Interest then you admit you agree that God took us out of Egypt amidst but if you are in denial that there's a Prohibition of ribis then you come from so what is the connection between ribbous and it's with trium what is this don't lend with interest and that's how you show that you believe I'm the Lord your God I took you out of Egypt maybe shaked a little of an answer that's how you believe I took you out of Egypt keep Shabbos that's on why ribbous and God took us out of Egypt so listen this beautiful he says you know why in what Merit did God take us out of Egypt because we cared about one another we showed one another the actors that we had in in mitzrayim so what is the source of ribbous you charge interest to a stranger a stranger knocks on my door and says can I borrow 100 bucks and say sure five percent interest you can but a brother a family member says I can't pay my bill I need a hundred bucks you're not going to say sure five percent interest so ribis is fostering is conditioning the Merit through which we were taken out of Egypt was actus if you agree and observe the laws of ribbous you are agreeing and you are affirming the very Merit and reason that he took us out of the trium to begin with another beautiful RAV Surat let's move over to parsha's side for a few minutes gotta catch a flight for a wedding tonight observe my Commandments and you perform them then I will make it rain in its time this is Hashem says do the right thing I'm going to shower you with bracha the wrong thing you're going to struggle beautiful sort of depicts for us the life that we have to be prepared to be living back to the shrithika and he quotes the following from the two Pharos If You observe my laws my statures if you keep my Torah it'll reign in the right time Russia it talks about what's the right time the best time for rain rain while you're sleeping now while you're awake the right amount of rain you need to rain the right way the right amount the right time but listen to what he says often in the middle of davening you have the safer open in front of you you're finally learning you're sitting here at the parish this year you know what happens often inevitably invariably extraneous thoughts jump in your mind get distracted you're in the middle of your answer when you start thinking about I gotta return that email I got to make that phone call I gotta close that deal I got this thing in business I gotta update the website I gotta change the thing when you're dominating when you're learning is when you start thinking about business and livelihood and it's going to compromise your davening and your learning and all of your service of Hashem that's not the time to think about gashmias you have to be focused on business and productivity and efficiency take your initiative but not while you're pursuing spiritual matters not in the middle of dominating or learning foreign when you learn you'll be able to learn and you're not going to be distracted by thinking about goshmias if you really dedicate yourself and you toil in Torah learning Torah living I'll give you your thoughts about kashmirs they'll come in the shower like a normal person not while you're dominating it while you're learning they'll come when you're trying to fall asleep like a normal person not while you're dominating and you're learning I'll give it to you Tom in the right time Saturday I'll give you your meaning a person is going to be consumed by a certain amount of gas from his thoughts we're going to think a certain amount about goshness when will those thoughts come in a productive way were they going to take away time with our family time from our learning time from Hashem that's the good burger I'll give it to you in the right time and then he quotes the grandson of Hashem he writes the siglachem because the Torah continues the partial continues and passage the siglakham daises those words and you will get means you the Sig means you will receive you will grasp you will get so listen yeah everybody agrees even though this is um should you dedicate the data.gov should you dedicate the day to you should you spend the whole day eventual dominating and learning or spend the day at home eating and enjoying but everybody agrees whichever position you take on this issue that when it comes to atse everybody agrees even those who say another Hashem whole day ensure dominating and learning foreign because you need you need to eat you need to be rested you need goshness when it comes to receiving Torah to learn Torah to live Torah you need first paranas you can't learn Torah so much you'll be able to grab onto the lachem that which you deserve the goshamas you're looking for in your life you'll earn and you'll deserve and you'll have the healthy amount of I saw a got a new safer you have to be dedicated so the Joshua says is a person dedicated to learn tower not easy not passively now it comes comfortably and conveniently are you willing to break your teeth on Torah to review to learn to challenge yourself to leave your comfort zone and the example rights the measure of a person's relationship with Hashem is not how much Tucker you give but do you exert effort when it comes to learning do you challenge yourself do you take on goals and pursue them are you working hard are you omel and how do you express do you share what you're learning with others do you share what you're learning with others do you teach others are you teaching others in your learning he writes that's the gemara says is foreign the four we don't have the ability to go to a place to feel the shrina where can we feel it when we learn Torah how do we feel it when we learn Torah little mode But it includes says you can't only learn Torah of yourself you have to break your teeth to teach Torah to others when Brody just announced an amazing program before shavuas of an outreach program affiliated unaffiliated with a background no background Vance the beginner massive hundreds of people sitting together pouring over text like the Jewish people did at harsinai the effort the Toyo for not only your own learning but to teach others the Torah as well you have to have a healthy sense of we have to work hard in teaching Torah are you allowed to do this on Shabbos blend with this even though there was a billion more things I wanted to tell you your total learning has to be light on because y so this my main list is during the week and Shabbos it would be a contradiction to the rest of Shabbos if you are Amal in learning on Shabbos the ivitz writes in his citizens the quality and nature of your learning and Shabbos has to be different than during the week is in such a way that you're toiling with an effort that it's disturbing and it's aggravating and you're toiling and you're exhausting that is antithetical to the themes of Shabbos it's a pretty wild thing and he has a whole discussion here and others do we believe in this or not this notion is not only during the week is you should dig deep and toil and make that effort for a big discussion on that I'll tell you one last song so far the end of passion we have of course the member's last thing remember the land I wanted to get to but we don't have time we're out of order here what should the order be um
