Chofetz Chaim Yomi Pesicha Asin 11-12 Yiras Shamayim - Bittul Torah {Day 23}

progress. Okay, good morning friends. We're doing today we're continuing we're up to the and today is a formidable on all of them say fear Hashem. We are warned Leroy to fear Hashem all the days of our life. Which means when something comes up, when the opportunity arises we are obligated to stir our soul at that moment that God is the orchestrator and overseer of all man's affairs. And he will pay, recompense, he will punish in accordance with the bad of the deed. There is punishment. And by having the thought, one will refrain from violating the will of Hashem. So the mitzvah of demands, of course we have to fear all all of our life, but we fear Hashem all of our life so that when the opportunity arises, we stir it to prevent us from sinning. Certainly one who is callous and just releases his soul to violate this is Now the lion of the Mishnaba implies to me that one is only if one is a habitual offender. He doesn't say someone who succumbs in the situation is of he says would you say someone who violates one time or the occasional sinner is called but I'm not sure the says in all eight situations Mapper mabel be fun of shal fun of so it's interesting the is that one who violates this and he does not think this during those times he's what if somebody does think it but he didn't overcome the Sahara is he over the mitzvah of your I'm not sure maybe you could ask why didn't the countas as one of the mitzvah that say that you violate obviously if somebody loved Hashem they wouldn't they wouldn't be mafar themselves to speak lashhara but the mitzvah of loving hashem is not mentioned Okay, there's what to think about there. Okay, next is Oh, one second. There's a there's a long footnote here. Okay, that's this is the first of our long footnotes for today. Once we're on the topic, I wanted to warn what is common that people violate saying Hashem's name in vain or for which is learned from this. Sometimes if you see somebody protesting taking up the cause of something which was violated very often you have the scoffers if they see somebody speak up and say hey why you doing this they mock the guy look at look at this he has dawned the external cloak of uh the fake garb of being god-fearing. He's also being zealous for Hashem. This guy who's speaking up and saying, "No, don't do this, don't do that." He has much worse sins and all many other kinds of terrible stories that they spread. On this mocker, we could truly say one sin will lead to the next. Through the very terrible for namely the word the name is one of the seven names that are now be erased even without saying the is the name of the doesn't ask anything They they mock him. Look, this guy is dawning the mantle of being and they pronounce the word by saying Hashem's name is you could come to excommunication. Therefore, one who wants to guard his soul should distance himself from this very much. Okay, Rabbi Sai, fasten your seat belts. Who would have ever thought that the main problem by speaking lash is the following and above and beyond all the things we mentioned your during the time that you speak the learning she say it is an outright Like the explains in all the enumerators of the mitzvah there is no end to the reward for this is equal to all the mitzvah like we say in the one word of the scale. On the other side of the scale, you could put lul, es you could put shabis, you could put talis, you could put fillin, you you could put one word of is the equivalent of all 630 mitzval. Hashem is for the sin of idolatry, adultery, murder. God does not overlook the sin of so what does it have to do with speaking? If I'm wasting time, I'm wasting time even if I'm not speaking. No, no, no, no, no. Nice try. says for the rest of the time that a person spends a person is possibly can can be acquitted exonerated from the judgment of Shayim. Work is a legitimate way to spend one's time if you have to work. So then you're exempt at that time from tamatra or you're thinking how to attain your livelihood or other things a person has to do if they're eating if they're exercising but at the time you're speaking you're not making money from that. So then the moment you speak lash, why weren't you learning? That's the least of it. It's not only that you're violating the you're also violating the during this time. You're over many like it says in the The Tory warns us not to separate from the Tory in any way in whatever capacity you're able to of a person can't say you know I'm really I don't have a head now to learn the crazy place okay so learn I don't have a head I don't know Hebrew okay so learn in English now I can't learn so turn on There's no there's no if you don't have a head. So go to take a nap, take a walk. If you're a big lambda, you should learn in accordance with your ability. And if you're not such a big lambda, you could learn a lot of holy books that are translated into German into the vernacular in our times. that bring the fear of God into a person's heart not to sit empty from now. So you'll say okay but I'm I'm held accountable when I speak for not learning. What source is there that all of a sudden when I'm doing an then I'm held accountable for not doing the mitzvah I saw it written in the name of the says I don't need the I'm saying it on my own but I also saw it in the name of the what is judgment and what is calculation. Judgment is for the sin itself is they calculate at the time at the time that you did you could have fulfilled the mitzvah woe to us from the day of judgment alone. If Hashem just calculates judgment for the den what will we answer? Woe to us if Hashem calculates with us for each moment that we spoke idol chatter of disparagement, lightadedness, tailbearing, lush slander. If Hashem just calculates for the amount of time we wasted from learning truthfully with every word of learning if you learn hundreds of are So let's make a calculation. How many thousands of words of Tory that each one on its own is a great mitzvah that we proactively nullified and in theirstead we brought in many thousands of being. So you know the said that when you learn Mishna or you learn Gomorrah each word is a mitzvah by itself. What if you learn a safer that was written today do you get a mitzvah for each and every word in the introduction of msyakov they asked of kamki and he said the only if the safer was written where each word is necessary they asked what's an example of such a safer and said mishnaba. So in other words, this would apply to as well. Each word of mish you learn is a mitzvah. You could apply the same thing to say for itself. It's the same author, the same, you know, the same uh standard and all the more so that at this moment Each conversation of disparagement that you say on your friend by itself like we say do not wear. Now if we would just calculate the sin of separating from the Torah every second lash and the sin of lash. In other words, let's say the only thing we would calculate is okay, the guy spoke lash for one minute, so he lost out 200 words of Tyra and he violated with each word. The thing is what about all the other that you violate when you speak that we've discussed until now and especially if you add all the other that we spoke about at length until therefore you have to be very careful from these conversations. Okay, there is another footnote we have to do over here because said that is a legitimate justification to justify. However, says you know one should uh really honestly scrutinize that. By the way, we can ask a question. What about if a woman speaks? Do they violate bit tora for each word? In other words, let's say a woman speaks for a minute. Does a woman get for each word of learning that they learn? Definitely not as a not. I think the the obligation of women to learn is they have to learn to know. So they need to know but they don't get they don't get a specific reward for each word that they learn and a specific love for abandoning you know in other words wasting a minute. A woman is accountable. They need to learn to be able to know how to observe. But I think this the way the put it over here would be uh specifically for men. Um fine. Let's see this footnote. Even when it comes to work, a person should not spend more than necessary and not so to speak give the a foothold will say yeah you have to work 17 hours a day 15 hours a day says make the following uh analysis blinds us with this based on human nature. If your friend benefits you who's just a flesh and blood like you with a free gift or if he's a he has a an industry and he hires you to work for him, the more he gives you, the more humbled you are and the more careful you are to do in the best possible way. But when it comes to the service of the king of the world that to him we're also considered day laborers. We are workers of the day flips this and makes us do the opposite extreme. The more benefit Hashem gives us and the more profit Hashem gives us seduces us to say, "Oh, you have more money now. You need X, Y, and Z. Now, according to your wealth that Hashem gave you, you need to leave live in a nicer house and to wear very fancy clothing. You need to accord yourself like the best mention otherwise you will be shamed in the eyes of your friends. Therefore you need to be your set aside time for and travel to such and such place to make money. In other words, think about what we do. The more the more Hashem bestows upon us, the more we become immersed in our livelihood and the quest of of luxury. And then when Hashem helps us and makes us even more successful seduces us, you need to expand the business. And when you can no longer run everything gives you more great ideas, Now commensurate with all of these new uh enterprises that you have involved yourself in. You need to hire more workers and make sure each person is doing the job so that they should serve you. Everything will be under your umbrella. The business expands more and more and your preoccupation expands more and more. And the bottom line is the more the more bestows upon you and gives you more success the more seduces you that because of the need you need to give up your learning you need to give up your need to give up your until you don't even have time to d with a minion. Because you need to be working 24 hours a day to have a bigger business. And of course you're doing it because you want to be a supporter of that is all makes himself appear like he really is your friend and he only intends for your benefit so that you're not disparaged. before your other friends in the city when you don't rise up in the echelons of society. But when it comes to you see when it comes to everybody has big they want to be one of the they want to be recognized as a as a wellto-d do person but when it comes to stop when it comes to no I'm just I'm aid you ever hear whenever somebody says they're aid what they're saying is they don't want to do a mitzvah wing your pashid When it comes to they want to be the poorest of the poor, they don't even want to have a hut in the world to come. They don't even they don't even want to have a shelter from the shells. I build a house isra. Anyone who acquires the words of acquires a house in the world to come around is the purgatory. Therefore, heaven forbid if you don't have a house in if you don't have a house in the garden of Eden, you unfortunately will be under the domain of the kip the instead of the friendly countenance that the showed you in this world world says you need you need to go to work to wear nice clothing to have a nice house to drive a nice car. In the world to come, the is going to come and he's going to smear you with excrement clothing. He's going to put shrouds on you and smear it with excrement. Say, "Where'd you get these disgusting clothing from?" You say, "These are the clothing you made from your sins. was wearing the soiled garments standing before the angel and the angel said remove them. Therefore, you have to make an honest calculation. What things you need to do to work, to pay your bills, to for your mortgage, for your food, for your clothing, for your children that without it you can't exist and the rest, forget about it. That's the footnote of the luckily there's only one more short footnote today. Now the the just said that each seor of every time you speak lash you bring in in itstead thousands of a of maybe it's only one a how do you know you're going to be nailed for thousands this comes from if somebody violated intentionally even one thing it's like he did it many times via where they said don't drink don't drink for each warning for each drinking us that if somebody speaks for a minute for the entire minute he's held liable for this is not like if I don't take a I'm one if I don't blow I'm No, there the mitzvah is to do it once, but the mitzvah is to do it whenever you can. As opposed to this and one moment is not exempt with the moment before it. someone is not many hours. So I would assume let's say if somebody lives in America where what's happening in Israel they don't need to run to a bomb shelter I assume that checking the news every 7 and 12 minutes it could be is not considered absolutely ne an absolute necessity I understand if you live in you got to know whether you're going to have to run into the bomb shelter but I don't think that it's necessary in terms of living to let's say check the news 5 million times a And also I don't think it's necessary to say every single outlet. I'm assuming that whatever is on one probably is on the other with with only very small shinuy. So you know this is definitely something to aspire toward uh making sure we make best use of our time. Have a great day everyone. Thanks for sticking through. Cult recording stopped.
