firstes on the new
shades I was walking down the block from
my house and I couldn't see into thean
so you should use it in good health
we're going to speak tonight for a few
minutes about the topic on everyone's
mind
anti-Semitism what is the root of
anti-Semitism says
runs to he hugs
him he falls on his neck he kisses him
if you look in the T we have an unusual
occurrence there are very few words that
have this in the Tor and the words and
he kissed him they're dots they're dots
on top of the word dots mean whatever it
says it means the
opposite so Rashi brings two Pim one is
it says he kissed him he didn't really
mean it rash brings
another it is well
known he happened to have mercy on that
at that
time Rashi uses an expression we don't
find anywhere else in the whole
Tor now many people misquote this you'll
hear many people
say it's because they didn't look
carefully at the words of rashi rashi
doesn't
Sayan it's a fact of
life after the liberation of the war my
grandfather was in the DP camps some of
the Nazis says it's not our fault it's
in our blood it's in our DNA that's what
Rashi
saying it's a fact of life they hate us
it's a reality it's not because of
anything don't think it's because of
capitalism because even when we're
socialists they'll hate us don't think
it's because of socialism because even
when we're
capitalists they say we're leeching off
society and we run the world at the same
time
so it's not for any reason it's just a
fact of life now my grandfather in
Poland he was a Ben by the ra you ever
hear the name ra Z he was the greatest
before the
Holocaust asks on rash what why does
Rashi quot why Rim why is Rim giving the
giving the reason for anti-Semitism why
not RB AKA why not Rabbi tarine why not
RAB
mayor said something phenomenal shim's
opinion is
he's meaning every single says I'll give
you a reason for other T say no you
can't give reasons for the mitv the mitz
don't have reasons
says every mitah has a reason but still
there's one thing in this world that has
no reason anti-Semitism and other words
even Rim who gave a reason for
everything in the Torah when it comes to
why they hate us there's no reason for
it that's what rabish Shimon says you
could have an opinion also but this is
the opinion now there's another
gar the gar
says why was the mountain on which God
gave the Torah
called when God gave us the Torah they
hated us they were jealous of us so that
that's the reason that's a logic they're
jealous of what we have they're jealous
that we have the truth so it comes out
there are two reasons for anti-Semitism
one is it's inexplicable it's just a
fact of life it's reality of existence
and number two is jealousy and you
always have to be able to
identify what type of enemy we have is
this an enemy like a Sav who hates us
inexplicably or is it a different kind
of En enemy who's jealous of us Ravid
Cohen he's a rabbi on Cone Island Avenue
one of the big postum today he writes
that these two types of anti-Semitism
play out in h and ham is from Ham just
hates us there's no reason but he's a
different type of anti-semite so ham has
to convince him you know why do you like
these Jews they always
say they never go to work they're always
off meaning hates us because of because
of
observance the
says if a guy has a lot of dirt in his
field he doesn't know what to do with it
another guy has a pit in his field he
doesn't know how to fill it up so they
come together they make a sh and the guy
with the dirt dumps it in the pit says
viewed us as a pile of dirt ham viewed
us as a hole in the ground Haman just
hated us he felt we were
lowly realized how great we were he was
just jealous of us so throughout history
we encounter two types of anti-Semitism
but in this week's par Rashi tells
us a very unusual expression which
teaches the hatred of asav is just
reality of life and even who could tell
you the reason for every but there's no
reason
