ACCIDENTALLY BREAKING SHABBAT

[Music] and the question is breaking Shabbat obviously we've learned already in every single lecture that I've probably done over the last five or six years every single time we mention a little bit of chabbat sometimes more sometimes less but in essence everybody understands by now that who wrote in the tat 12 times you violate Shabbat you have a very very serious problem but what he's talking about is if you break it intentionally meaning you go into a car no one goes into the car unintentionally you're going to go drive to the mall you're going You're intentionally driving the car unless you're driving to the hospital that's P if you're driving to theit hospital to go save somebody's life that's a Mitzvah why because if you're trying to save a life then Shabbat is put on hold not because the life is more important than Shabbat but rather because the Shabbat is more important than life how so you put the Shabbat on hold so you can save the life and that will allow that person to keep many many more shabbats for the rest of their life so now if a person drives on Shabbat or smokes a cigarette on Shabbat or works on Shabbat that's an intentional sin but if a person unintentionally turns on the light you know he woke up in the middle of the night he forgot where he is he turn on the light to go to the bathroom that's unintentional we forgot at Shabbat for a moment that's not the same level of sin that's shig that's an accidental sin if you will now even though it's still considered a sin it's not the same level of sin as the others it does not get the same punishment a person still needs to do chuva still needs to say to I'm sorry but it's not the same thing as the others it's too complet completely different classes now as far as what about if you don't know all of the details like you just said there are so many if you go look at the it's three books there's the the series of has many books but just on Shabbat it's the biggest section there's three books three big books 500 page 600 page books just on Shabbat how many hundreds and hundreds of on Shabbat of how to keep Shabbat now even if you've studied it you're not going to remember everything so what about that now if you've studied you've studied you took the books that I gave for free in the last couple of weeks and anyone that wants them I still have some more in my car you took the book and you studied it but you forgot something again that's considered shig but what if you didn't study what if you studied you didn't get to it yet you studied but you didn't get to this Al yet you still that means it's it's still technically accidental you studied but you didn't get to this law yet or you forgot this law that still technically falls under the accidental but what if you didn't study What If instead of studying you went to the baseball game you had a shield but one of your friends called you like Hey listen you want to come to the game no no I have a shield I'm learning you learn tomorrow come to the game no come on A- Rod sh Rod all these rods they're all hitting they all you know this guy's making $20 million a year give him a run for his money cheer for him no come to the game they're shooting Hoops after we're having a couple of beers maybe a few girls going to come G for sure come now that person has a test to me it's not a test why I care less about it but that's because I'm in this stage of my life to a person that's just starting out could be a big test if he passes the test and he says no I have to go learn will give him a blessing Beyond his imagination but if he fails and he goes to the game and he doesn't learn that he needs to learn that he would have learned that night and as hem would have it measure for measure that Shabbat comes and that law comes to and he doesn't know what to do and he just does whatever he thinks is right and he happens to be wrong then the says if you're shig if your accidental sin is as a result of you not learning but not not learning cuz you didn't get to it but choosing not to learn then that accidental sin is counted as purposeful sin Z you did it on purpose why because you didn't learn on purpose it's not that you sinned on purpose but you didn't learn on purpose which led to that sin had you learned you would have known you chose not to learn you chose to go to the baseball game you chose to watch X-Men you chose to uh watch some new Netflix uh uh you know something you chose to play some cards you chose to do something else okay so you chose to do something instead of learning to okay that's led to the sin that choice counts as M which means that the chuva has to be even stronger at that point but again if it's because you didn't get to it yet you didn't learn it yet or you simply made a mistake that's a different category that's not the same level of punishment either way everybody needs to do Chua but again we there's a there's punching somebody in the face and the cop is going to y you maybe even find you and give you some community service and is murdering somebody so doing driving on Shabbat is murder it's actually worse than murder according to hasem whereas doing it accidentally that's like punching somebody in the face it's not good but it's not it's not the worst thing in the world you do CH you learn from your mistakes and the reality is is that eventually you're going to actually end up learning much more from your mistakes than anything else [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] spe bu for [Music] n [Music] [Applause] [Music]
