Okay, good morning everyone. Welcome to
the inaugural shar on safar aas.
This year this series is dedicated by
the Harris family of Cleveland
Nishmas Ravish Hower
Ramos Ben Harammen
who
embodied and personified the ideals of
Israel and loving uh the Jewish people.
Okay. So
similar to Yeshua,
I can't really find information about
when wrote this and what the conditions
were, how he wrote it, but let's begin.
Let's learn the safer and we'll see what
information comes up uh as we learn the
safer. Okay,
so it's really a contress. It's not a
separate safer. Uh maybe you'll remember
when we visited the
and it listed all the he wrote this
safer was also absent from the list.
Okay. So it's more of a compendium. It's
more of a
in this chapter we will explain the
great sin of baseless hatred.
Do not hate your brother in your heart.
That's a puk in parasim.
Do not hate your brother in your heart.
Well, what does that mean? Does that
mean
I can't hate him in my heart, but I
could tell him I don't like him? Pretty
much. Pretty much. Viselum. This is the
language of the reinam.
Maybe tomorrow we'll we'll uh learn
about who wrote this mitzvah that is
quoting. It seems to be an abbreviated
addition of the 613 mitzvah. We'll talk
about it maybe tomorrow. Say for me,
you should not hate in your heart a
kosher Jew. So, I know what you're
thinking. Good. I'm I'm glad that he
added it has to be a kosher Jew.
Well, we'll have to see what a kosher
Jew is. But you should you're not
allowed to hate a kosher Jew in your
heart.
Do not hate your brother in your heart.
Thera is only warning in this
animosity in one's heart.
Someone who hits his friend and he
shames him
does not violate this love. You're
violating other love. In other words, if
you're physically abusive to somebody or
verbally abusive, you're not
again, we're not we're not downplaying
that and we're not trying to minimize
the severity of that. We're just trying
to identify what is the love of don't
hate your brother in your heart. The
love is an internal animosity.
Now,
if you remember in when we learned
The said if through your animosity that
you have you're going to that brings you
to speak lash then actually the lash
that you speak that itself is a
violation of
which doesn't seem to jive with what
he's saying here because here he says
that if somebody hits their friend or
shames their friend you're not over this
Okay. So we'll have to define what
exactly are are the the parameters of
if one person sins against the other men
who believe
you should not hate them in your heart
and be silent.
It's a mitzvah to tell them to say to
them
why did you do this?
Now, not only is it recommended, it's a
mitzvah. It's a mitzvah to ask the
person, "Why did you do this to me? Why
did you insult me? Why did you say it
this way? Why did you why didn't you
invite me?" And then and then forget
about it.
It applies in all places and in all
times. meaning it applies in it applies
um even in nowadays.
This is the language of the so a few
things we need to clarify
here. The seems to be quoting the safer
mitzvah that the Torah only prohibits
internal animosity but physical or
verbal
hatred is not included in this lab.
So the first thing is that seems to fly
in the face of what wrote in that if
your lash
comes as a result of
that is a violation of
he says that both by the of
and if you remember he says that in the
opening
page of the to where the garra says that
the Bikdash was destroyed because of the
says no it doesn't mean it means because
it can't be that the B mikdash would
have been destroyed because of
it means that emerges from the sah which
seemed to indicate that one would
violate
by speaking lash it's just says that
it's worse than that it's also okay
we'll have to clarify that Now what is
the definition of your brother? Who is
your brother?
Your brother is any Jew.
Don't say
I love this kind of Jew. I love Jews
from Ru but
I don't like Jews from Shim.
I love rabbis
but I hate unlearned Jews.
You have to love all of them. Now that
nowhere does it say that this is easy.
It doesn't say it's easy to love Jews.
No, it doesn't say anywhere.
It doesn't say
by the mitzvah of loving Jews. No. No.
It says it by chuva. So that implies
that this is not
this one is not easy otherwise it would
have said it's easy. So don't be
alarmed. Don't say how am I supposed to
do this is very hard. Okay. Sometimes
you have to go out of your comfort zone.
Now
you should hate.
Likewise, David said,
"Those who hate you, God, I hate." What
is
a min is called someone who denies the
of Hashem and God's providence.
Okay, we're we're let's discuss one
point here. The is quoting from
is saying don't
say that you'll be selective in which
Jews you love. You need to love all of
them. But he says but hate the minim
asked to add that point but hate the
minim. This is supposed to be a very
positive upbeat loving message. Who
asked
to add in the end but hate the minim?
How does that contribute to the mitzvah
of Israel? Okay, so I want to just
advance um an important idea and I
actually think it's true that this is
not just a relevant
uh tidbit but hate but it is necessary
in order to fulfill the mitzvah of
Israel. Let me explain.
There's a time to love and there's a
time to hate. By the way, doesn't mean
there's a time for snow to fall. Okay?
Let's say you say as an O.
It doesn't mean there's a time for snow
to fall. There's a time to love and a
time to hate. That means hate is part of
the human condition.
Hate is part of the human condition.
And therefore if there is never a time
to hate then you will not be able to
fulfill the time to love. Or an example
of that
is what says
those who love God hate evil. So I
happen to see over yumptiff
a
um passage from the writings of
and he says as follows
every Jew has streams of hatred.
If you're able to expend this hatred on,
you will have no more hatred to others
and then you are vouched
not to violate the prohibition of
but contrary. Conversely,
if you use your strands of hatred for
others,
you will be lacking in your hatred for
instead of hating,
you'll hate Jews. So, he's saying this
principle that every human being has
strands of hatred in them. And perhap
and the reason why the Torah commands us
to hate Amalik is to facilitate love for
the Jewish people.
And I would apply that to what is saying
as well that when it comes to minim when
it comes to those who
uh deny the Tory and Hashem's
you should hate them. You should hate
them. Now, I'm not getting into does
that apply to people who don't have an
education. I'm not talking about that
now. That's a different subject. But
let's say somebody will who had the
benefit of knowing what Tory is and
knowing what hasha is and they chose the
wrong path. Let's say they're a
fullfledged accredited
um min. So then the is saying that you
should hate them and by hating them
you'll be able to love.
So the mitzvah of Israel is reserved for
that and that's the majority of the
Jewish people or should be the majority
of the Jewish people and the the add-on
is to facilitate
uh being able to say you know what I
don't only love my I love shine I love I
love okay so what do I do with the
that you need to reserve for the minim.
Okay, that's uh our opening lim of
have a good day everyone.
