this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com 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 you've just experienced another torah
