okay welcome everyone
this week's
part dalit we're going to focus on
perigdal and mishna yates
when
your enemy falls do not rejoice
and when he stumbles
let your heart not rejoice
panura hashem lets god let go a lest god
see virab enough
and it will be evil in god's eyes vegeta
may allah and he will withdraw his anger
from him
this is the mishna imperk
and the obvious question is but it's
aposic in mishlai and if it's a passage
of islam what do i need
for i need
them to quote a passage in michelle
shalom already said the passage
we don't have such a mishna so why do i
need shemalakottan to repeat a mishna in
a passage
in general this plastic is interesting
because
the pasuk is saying and actually it's
tupesukem
don't rejoice when your enemy has
stumbles lest god see and he will remove
the anger from your enemy well then
that's a good reason to rejoice when
your enemy stumbles because this way he
won't stumble anymore because god will
see and he'll remove his anger from him
so if anything this is encouraging being
happy when your enemy has a downfall
this way he won't be having a downfall
anymore because apostate seems to say
lest god see and it'll be evil in his
eyes and he will withdraw his anger now
the truth is not every mishnah has this
girsah
many mishnahs just have the gerso been a
folly backhaul
but there are some that have an addition
to what it says and according to the
rambam
there is an alternative gears on the
mission the mission says as follows
it doesn't say his fierce anger
allah
but rather his anger
right it says the haitians may love
and now the mishnah continues
from here we learn that god
forgives the sins of one
who
causes someone to rejoice over their
downfall and then it would make sense
what the mishna is saying don't rejoice
cause then this guy who's uh not a good
guy you're gonna be causing all of his
sins to be forgiven
so the rambam says
he would constantly
reprimand in this character trade um
and warn against this sin in other words
what the rambam is asking and answering
and the question is what's malachattan
adding it's a passage the answer is
you're right it's apostle but it's
apostatic that was oft repeated by
shemola khattan so she's
want to repeat this pasta very often
very would like to say over this
who could refer pasta hashem
hashem will remove from upon the person
his anger
[Music]
against two against
person that's what it says what do you
mean
there's only
what
they always refer to of course no
and a god will remove may allah from on
him who's him
what
remove his anger towards that person
that's not called removing
that's called placing no
the heishev may allah hashem will remove
from upon hashem
means he will remove his anger that's
already on someone and remove it
refers to his height or some other thing
and and
also the same question
what is malacatan coming to teach if
this is already in michelangelo
it's a whole pastor
said it
ella wrote sally
because it was something that was needed
every day meaning this is something we
need to hear every day
this is something that people stumble in
every day when they hear something bad
that happens to someone who they don't
like they're happy
even when the enemy is wicked aimlessly
don't be happy in his evil so even
someone who's a russian when he has a
downfall
don't be don't rejoice bilti
hashem lavada
meaning only for god's cause like this
if you have a if there's a wicked man
osama bin laden he is your personal
enemy and then you hear they captured
him and they killed him
so you shouldn't be happy i shouldn't be
happy but it says yes
those who love god hate evil so why
shouldn't i be happy when i saw them bin
laden
the answer is i should only be happy for
god's sake but the personal feeling that
i'm happy that my enemy had a downfall
that's inappropriate it doesn't matter
who it is
you can be happy for god's sake bilti
with say no
is because he brought a downfall to the
glory of heaven
and certainly if the person who is
rejoicing is corrupt like the person
who's having the downfall and
meaning one should not rejoice in the
downfall of russia
only if your kavanaugh is because of the
loss of kava chamaim and therefore it
says bin follow
and this was the kavanaugh to say this
always
but says
there's another possible gersa here in
the
one could potentially
have a text in the mishnah
viesha garsin panyira hashem
lest god see virabh
apoe
happy when the enemy falls
and then he'll be
the enemy beyoka said raise him up
as a punishment to the one who's happy
listen the puzzle is saying like this
don't rejoice when your enemy has a
downfall if you do god will see it and
he'll take revenge against you and
you'll be punished by you know what your
punishment will be your friend will be
nimhkal
so don't rejoice over your friend's
downfall
because god will forgive him and raise
him up as a punishment to you
so in other words it's explaining what
shaman katherine would add was as
follows you know i shouldn't rejoice
because god will get back at you how
will god get back at you by being
michael your friend
so you would ask he's not your friend
by being michael yeah the other guy
yeah
that kind of friend the kind that you
don't like
right so
don't don't um
don't rejoice
right don't rejoice at your enemies
downfall because god will take
retribution against you by being michael
him so i would ask so good that's the
reason
to rejoice so god should be michael him
so
there's a lot of discussion about this
in the master victory
which is uh the talmud of rashi of
simcha vitri he says
simply
that it's talking about two people who
don't like each other because we're both
fishermen we're both shoemakers we're
both electricians and the gemara says
people in the same line of mises they
don't like each other
shimon akaten says no that's not what
it's talking about talking about two
torah sages that are fighting with each
other in halacha that one should not
rejoice in the downfall of the other and
not try to see his friend's shame so
what she's done is adding
is that don't think the pasik is
specifically talking about two people in
the same line of business but it's also
talking about two torah scholars okay
yeah basic islam right
is that referring to competition that's
why two people
usually people in the same line of
business they there's a hazaka the
you could assume they don't like each
other
because this guy thinks he's the best
electrician he sells the best products
never never ask somebody who's a car
dealer what do you think of this car
dealer he hates his guts what do you
mean what do you think of him he doesn't
like him
it's it's an assumption they're
acknowledging this competition everybody
thinks they're the best yeah
i thought it was a concept
right
is that it's not just talking about two
competitors but even to rabbanim who are
engaged in halacha they should uh not
rejoice in the other's downfall now
kluger
in his commentary to otherwise
he says something very interesting
why did dafka shmuel hakatan say this
piece of advice
because
known to be
anon of
and humble and he made himself low
and he frequented to say this pasuk
because this was
in line with his personality to be
humble and not to be overbearing
and the khirsh is like this
from the actual pasta could have said
that the kavanaugh is like simply
don't ruven should not rejoice about
shimon's downfall
don't get pleasure
and um because your enemy hashem will
remove the evil from your enemy
but small that's the simple shot don't
rejoice in your enemies downfall because
god will see and he'll get upset at you
and he'll
be
forgive the sins of the enemy but shamu
allah caught them because he was an
unoff he had
if i have a competitor and i have an
enemy we're always striving we're always
i'm always fighting and then he has a
downfall
avada
so for me to be happy that he's
suffering that of i don't need a
to say that that goes without saying you
know what most katanas
was
but at least you know i am happy not
because he's suffering because that
shows that i'm a best ceremonch
if i see adam i see the guy across the
street he has a hard life and i have it
easy
so i i feel bad for him but i feel good
that must be i'm the best of a mess you
know why life's good for me because i'm
a sadiq
don't do that
in other words of course you shouldn't
rejoice when your friend has a downfall
that goes without saying but don't even
feel good i must be better in the eyes
of god that's why my life is better no
god will see that
because pen your hashem vera
he will remove the anger
that's his
and he'll send it against you
that's a scary thought
i mean when you see somebody suffering
so of course you should feel bad but
sometimes person thinks
this doesn't come to me because i'm a
big sadic because i'm about and i'm uh
i learn and i dab in and i'm i help
everyone so that's why i'm my life is
better than his life no don't think that
way think that the good the good lord
had uh showered his grace on you hashem
had ra ham on you but not that you're
better than anybody else that's the
hidden
when you see someone suffering don't
think that oh but i don't deserve it i'm
better
that's a very important that's a very
poignant
words of muscle
don't think that you're better than
anybody else okay but the todda
shimshine
is not satisfied with any of these
pratim
and he says
that's like a play on words why is
malacatan just repeating the words of
solomon and he quotes the bhattanura
that that shemalakatan frequently gave
this muslim to people
that's why he's quoting the positive but
that's not really satisfying answer
because
why daft did he say this pasta
and number two he's not teaching me
anything
and the medora shemoah wants to say
that the pasta you would have thought is
telling that one scenario and
shimalakatan is trying to teach me that
it applies even in other scenarios
and says to tell the shimshon this is
not pure silver
because apostates seems to be telling
that all scenarios
and then it says the total shrimp shine
some of the reshinum rights
that there that she's
coming to add on the previous tanner of
shuman al-azhar
so says the shimsum that's
the talmud of hillel near the corbin
habayas
and um who prophesied at the time of his
death about the haruki maokus
and of shima and benalazar was a talmud
or a mayor
and chamberlain al-azhar was a student
of our mayor after many years like we
say in hulen
why would he be adding to shamban
al-azhar
so the toddler shimshon says an amazing
shot
that all the various perushim
i'm on the next page turn your page over
he says
all these various perushim that the
mafashi initially write
and what the mephirshay and mishnah
write the royal dive like
the shad and the passage and the tana
includes all the
the passage includes all the perushim
and the tan is not coming to add
anything because how could a tana add to
apostle everything is in the passage
but rather there's a reason why
shemalahakatan gave this advice and this
master and this takaha
because we know
that who wrote
shamanism
it was written by archangel
but a 19th blessing was added
what was the 19th blessing
who composed
all the heretics and all the slanderers
and all the liberals and all those who
are against the torah
they should be destroyed immediately
sikhva they should have no hope the
harisha and all evil karega toiveit
should be destroyed momentarily
basically anyone who starts up with the
jews with observant jews and the torah
should be utterly and immediately
destroyed
wow you know who composed that fila
none other than the author of this
mission who said don't rejoice over your
enemies downfall
by the way why did shemolah and why was
he selected to compose this bracha
because if you would have gotten a rabbi
who exerts his authority people would
have suspected the rabbi composed the
blessing for his personal agenda so they
needed to get somebody who was so humble
and so shuffle so that nobody would be
suspicious that he composed about the
destruction of the enemy for his own
agenda but because he composed this
bracha he felt it necessary to warn even
though unfortunately we need to pray
that all the wicked are
obliterated immediately nevertheless
that's only because we don't have a
choice because we don't have enough time
to do for them to do chuva i once heard
from hagon victor miller why are we
dabbing that the wicked should die we
should daven that they do chuva
like the gemaran brachaise that brewery
said
so the min the milk salazar says that
was bruja but we don't listen to her
we're gonna we don't if she's a nisha
we're not gonna listen to her we don't
she wasn't correct
if you have wicked people you gotta get
rid of them but that's a separate
discussion in and of itself
but if you wanna take brewery's advice
they should diamond for the wicked
people to do so why do we down for the
maushin to die we should daven then the
answer is we would like them to do chuva
but we don't have time because they're
antagonizing us so painfully we don't
have time for them to go to cure
seminars we only have time for them to
do one thing drop dead that's all we
have time for them to do
the color is a kerrega toy babe what do
you mean duchuva
halawai yeah but you know there are only
a few people who could do chuva
um
but right now when you have people who
are against
the establishment and are trying to
uproot the torah we would like them to
do cuba but unfortunately it's such a
pressing need so who are we going to
write get to write this fila it's going
to cause so much politics to write us
feel like this there's only one man who
could do it
but because he wrote this fila he felt
it necessary that even though
unfortunately we have to take a strong
stance against rosham nevertheless one
cannot feel
personal happiness at the downfall of
the wicked so it was shemullah qatar
himself who composed ramoshinam who's
the author of this particular mishnah
says the torah
he composed the blessing of the heretics
like it says in the fourth paragraph of
brachaise and the ichirah kavanagh is
what that rizal says at the end of the
second base time mikdash there were a
lot of rashaam and the klippas were were
very strong and we pray that they should
be cut off alto sikhvah they should not
have they should have known
and
we we pray on rosh hashanah the sikhva
toiva darshakha
those who seek you out they should have
sikh fatah for good hope but those who
are lama shinrati sikhfa
but now shemalakata was afraid
maybe people would say if i'm writing
such a blessing in china esray that the
the wicked should be destroyed maybe
this is a good practice that we should
curse the wicked
if shemola akato and made a rock of
allah mashima sikha maybe we should
stand on the corners cursing the wicked
and therefore shemola caught in his
whole life endeavored
lest the person think that because
there's ibrahillah it is appropriate to
curse the wicked he frequently said this
pasak
to teach people don't learn from the
bach of
this bracha
was enacted on the fall of tomah in
general and that we should weaken the
tuma and it's a secret
and even according to the shot uh the
simple shot that this bracha is the fila
that god should remove from us all the
turrets of illuminat torah this is a
general concept
this is that nobody should be able to
start up with the tamatorio of the
rabbim of all of israel like we find in
the sacrament
that the tamitara durabilim is hammer
than the avoida
and the purpose of carbona is to weaken
toma in general like it says oilas tamid
to oilas could be read
hatoyla which is the words of oilas
and therefore
even though maybe one should rejoice
when the there's a downfall of the
wicked in general
but when it comes to individuals
says the toddler shimshon we follow what
may or what the gemara says in brachaise
with brurya and the men that was in the
neighborhood rabbi show ben levy when
when the time came
he um he fell asleep or like in the
story with the baryony ramirez
neighborhood
this is the muslim that the tana was
makhadesh meaning
what she's
needed to teach the world is despite the
fact that we have to pray for the
downfall of the wicked that's to pray
for the downfall of the
general category of wicked or the
concept of wickedness in general or
kayak atomo in general but on a personal
level despite the fact that we pray the
lama sheenim we do not we do not curse
the wicked we do not wish uh ill will
against the wicked this is just against
the force of evil in general but not
against individuals so it's small hakata
and so to speak the shitase who composed
him he warns us
