Vayailech - Take care of your kids

Hi, this is Davidski. Welcome to the par five. We have an extra bonus this year because VA are usually together and this year they are apart. So, uh we'll speak separately about is a mitzvah in part. It's the mitzvah of hakil where on the sukus aftermita everyone comes to the b mikdash and the melik the king is going to read and it says everybody cameos noshim and says uh the garanian anoshim limo. If the men are coming to learn and the women are coming to hear, why are the babies there? And it answers no to give reward to those who bring them. So the Yakovish who is known to those of you who learn in yeshiva as Mishbat on Mishbatisa he he's quite quite prolific. He wrote a lot of different he was a little safer on onish but every piece is just is just gem. He asked two questions on this. First of all, since when does a bar create a mitzvah with no purpose other than to give you does not have a mitzvah saying dig a hole and fill it in for absolutely no purpose and I'll give you a scar for it. There's no such a concept. His second question is, if all of the men come and all of the women come, you know why you bring the baby? Cuz what are you supposed to do with him? Leave him home while everybody goes to Shalim or even if you take him with you, leave him in the in the playben and everybody leaves him there. I would call that somewhat irresponsible. And yes, there are parents who are irresponsible salid night. They were waiting to start diving and he wasn't there. And they sent a search party out and they're searching around and of course every house is empty because everyone's in Shaw. But from one window they hear someone going sh. [Music] And they said, "I was that you?" He says, "Yeah." He says, "What are you doing in there?" He says, "I was on my way to Shaw and I heard a baby crying. I guess the baby was sleeping and the mother figured he would be okay. Left him in the crib, but he woke up and he was crying. The door was locked." So, I climbed in through the window and I'm holding the baby cuz I don't want him to cry instead of going to Shaw and Kre. I'm sure the mother didn't think she was being irresponsible. Although sometimes you got to wonder. I live here in Hillega. I saw a woman park in front of the hardware store with four or five little kids in the back of the car and the car was running and she was double parked and she went in to get something. Any of the kids could have just slipped the car in to drive. It was already going. Somebody coming around could have smashed into the car and killed all of her kids. I pointed this out to her. She basically said, "Mind your own business." But okay. So, you know why you bring the babies? Cuz what are you supposed to do? So, says the he says, "You know what? It's teaching us that I'm giving to the people who bring them." You're right. You have no choice but to bring the babies. But I don't want you to take the attitude of, "Oh gosh, these kids, they ruin everything. I guess I have to shlept them along. They're not going to understand anything. They might just make noise." And the Torah tells us, "No, you get for taking care of your children." It was one year just before Rash somebody went through Alman and he was in tears. He says, you know, Rebby, I try as hard as I can during ll to be better, to put in extra in the base mash to learn a little better, to try to be, you know, davin with more kavana. But my wife was on her own. She wasn't allowed to get out of bed. So I couldn't go to yeshiva. I stayed home taking care of the kids. I made sandwiches. I changed diapers. You know, if I was able to get a neighbor to watch them for, you know, for 20 minutes so I could run out, that was already a good day. And now it's rash. How am I going to go into rash? I didn't do anything in said, "What do you mean? You had the best l you ever had. You did your vote. Hashem said take care of these children. That was your vod. They weren't a distraction. Hashem wants you to take care of these kids. It's a mitzvah to take care of these kids. So yeah, you have no choice but to bring the children to hail. But don't make the mistake of I got to take these kids to hael. No, it's a to take them. It's a to be able to have them. What a And that's why gives you when you take care of your children, not because it's a distraction. Just the opposite is telling you here that when you have to take care of your kids, it's a mitzvah. Kulanu anosim are going to go in for a good gent chavis.
