Do Not Gloat When your enemy Falls

[Music] says when your enemy Falls do not be glad and when he stumbles let your heart not be joyous lest theem see and it displease him and he turn turns his wrath from him to you so first and foremost you know that this actual mishna is not an original mishna like the other Mish that we've read where it was actually a saying of the actual Sage that said it whether it be I and so on and so forth they would say all these different actually took a PUK from the Tor he took a PUK from the Tor he took a verse from the Tor Proverbs 24 chapter 24 verse 17 to 18 two and he says this is it this is my life that's how he lived based on this PUK that based on this PUK he says don't celebrate when your enemy Falls don't even be happy when your enemy Falls because that can lead Hashem to be upset to such an extent that he could take his entire anger that he has on this person that he's punishing right now and put it on you this just turned our entire world upside down anyone that understands what we just said it just turned our reality upside down why because like I said in the world we live in today it almost seems like we are it's like one of the pleasures in the world you have let's say sex money uh I don't know whatever else there is in this world food and then you think pleasure for my enemies falling you think it's like one of like the top greatest things like Hashem can give me a gift see my enemies fall there even like you said there this T this specific T that you read one of the T is different there's a book I have says you know you want you want to pray for certain things you want to read t for certain things to happen certain things you know certain is actually for your enemies to fall but here says if you celebrate your enemy falling you're doing the worst possible thing you can possibly do now page 93 says says anyone who wishes punishment wish is bad on his friend on another gets punished first you say hey look look at this rash kill him right now look at this R he's stealing from his customers kill him right now look at this rash he's having a xess party even a Jew kill him now AEM says what you said goes to sh goes to sh the Angels come to hem hasm look over here said that this other guy uh D is a rash look what he did look what he did oh hold on before we look at D let's look at let's he's asking for something okay let's see if we should listen to him before we punish D because maybe D is actually but before we look at D's account let's look ATA let's look at schi let's look at he brought this case to us he's the prosecutor let's let's see who's who's actually bringing the case is he clean or is he like a gangster telling on his friend so he can clean the market you know sometimes the gangsters they think they're smart they tell on their friends on their competition they figure the cops arrest this guy therefore have the entire Market little than all the other guy already told on them but so he's like so and sh they say no who are you you're a prosecutor where do we learn this from we learned this two weeks ago we learned this from saru saru tells aaham let hem be a judge between you and I they're going to fight let hem be a judge between you and I and the very next par we learn sah died first why they said don't say let's see who's who's right who's wrong don't be a uh a uh attorney a lawyer for hem don't be a judge for hasem don't say such things like look AEM who's you know whoever is right bring the dean on him no why they're going to look at you first before they look at him they look at you first soan takes this from he says this is dangerous how dangerous is this though how dangerous is this now all of of you I'm hoping the men at least are learning T every day some of you have gotten to the point where you're starting to learn hasn't come to me in the dream last couple of days I'm hoping it's so no cuz I learned a little so maybe because it wasn't crying cuz I was learning for you not so sure so anyway it says how dangerous is this celebrating the fall of your enemy we're not talking about fall of your friend not talk about your fall of your friend fall of your friend obviously you're just uh you're not really his friend if you're celebrating for your friend to fall what kind of friend are you with a friend like you who needs enemies we're talking about celebrating your enemy falling the enemy falling what if no we're talking about Jews talking about Jews so nowan is saying this is something that must be a p not only in the Torah not only in case you missed it in case you only read the five books of Moses and you just started Joshua you just started Yeshua you just started the uh after Yeshua B took over you're not up to Proverbs yet you're not up to the Nim yet you're not up to tail you're not up to it yet you haven't gotten to it yet but listen you have to learn M right you learn he says you have to understand we've actually took up a from Tora and he lowered it why Tora is the highest but now you have he made it a part of the oral Tor also he says You must learn this and make this a cloud in your life why it's dangerous what do you mean it's dangerous how dangerous is this how dangerous is this in the page 28 it actually says something very scary it says before you learn your they asked what do you do before you learn Tor you know we see that you pray before you come in the BET midash and you pray when you leave what's this prayer that you do what's this prayer that you do he says before I before I actually start learning I say I pray to Hashem please Hashem let not any mishap happen through me which will cause my colleagues to celebrate meaning my failure will cause my colleagues to celebrate and let my colleagues not fail for i c bej joyous that they failed and this is actually a the rambam was actually was actually saying cha chapter 8 5 he says he's surprised why is he surprised he's surprised that they didn't actually write at the end of this this is actually Al this is a law it's not a to pray these prayers it's actually you must do it because the 1108 the BET put it as ruled as so what you have any pretty much every single gar regardless of who wrote it you have this blessing that usually goes on the uh on the you know on the cover which says exactly what I just said with few other additions to it it says You must say AEM may be a will that a mishap does not happen through me meaning that you don't get to the wrong conclusion and make the wrong the wrong decision not because of just the sin that you're going to make as a result of your mistake not because of that but because your failure can lead your colleagues not talking about just your enemies talking about your colleagues other people that in to be happy you failed let it not happen why why is it why is it the begin this this is actually in every in every why why is the rambam puts it another level he says it's so important to know this that he wrote it in two it's both in and two places and it's also in the and this principle that you probably never heard of of not being happy when your enemy Falls is actually in in several places not just it's in Yi it's in the it's in a in two books but most of us never heard it why we thought it's fun great look AEM is punishing my enemies you want to say kadish they brought it on themselves their fault right you want to celebrate the r says the following in chapter 3 14 our sages said that a person who frequently commits these sins you mentioned several different sins has no loses keep Shabbat what he's a nice guy wonderful goes to be as is six feet tall whatever he does these different sins no no now one of the sins he embarrasses his friend in public sees a Jew comes to him asking for hey go get a job he skin the guy is already suffering doesn't have any money already struggling for money on top of it you're yelling at him like he's a bum like he doesn't have a like he's not the son of the same King you're just embarrassing him in public says that guy has no but we already learned this from what's the is the very following the very following sin is one who takes pride in another person's shame someone who takes pride in another person's shame has no what does it mean someone takes pride in another person's shame so he explains it actually in the other book in chapter 3 chapter six 3 we'll get there in a moment it's all live says anyone who gains honor to a degradation of a colleague does not have a share in the world to come what's the here what does it mean is that he builds his reputation by emphasizing his colleague flaws he's a terrible speaker he's not a smart as me he made a mistake last year he did he that he says you celebrate that now they all discovered that he's a rash they all discovered that he made a mistake they all discovered all these different things and through that you're celebrating that he fell you're celebrating that he lost everything you have made such a big problem for yourself that now instead of saying kadish on his career you have to say kadish on your own you have a problem so says this is such a big deal we have to turn this into a mishna we have to make it into M we have to put it in the we have to put it in we have to put it in the RAM have to put it everywhere you can why CU it's so easy to fail because our natural inclination tells us the opposite our natural inclination wants us to celebrate when our enemy fails we're not talking about celebrating when our friends fail we'll talk about celebrating where our enemies fail he's an enemy why shouldn't I celebrate maybe hasm is rewarding Me by punishing him why not different story different different different story we'll get to it in a second I'm saying it for a reason so first and foremost before we delve into this deep right now we just realized we have an atomic bomb in our hands and we may be the one that get explode so who's this they just rocked our life and told us that everything we taught everything we knew everything we behaved like is wrong we thought we already did chuva we just realized we're just starting we thought we did chuva which we're starting right now today today the first day of Chua thank you how how are you thank youm for giving me enough time to do chuva what happened just rocked our world why he just told us we're not allowed to celebrate when our enemies fail we thought it's one of the pleasures of life now had a problem in those days a problem that unfortunately 2,000 years later we are actually still dealing with and that problem is is that Christianity was born around that time and the original members were Jews were Heretics Jews some people like to say that it was based on the Sadducees but it's not the real the original copies are saying it's actually there was a lot of Heretics that went to Christianity and they tried recruiting missionizing other Jews ignorant Jews that's how Christianity was born it was based on ignorant Jews wasn't it wasn't founded by uh by Scholars a bunch of ignorance they even say it themselves even the Christians say it themselves bunch of illiterates ignorant people it's not a secret they say themselves people didn't know how to read didn't know how to write just tell something okay fine the cow's the same thing no different they say themselves I didn't make this up it's not it's not a matter of like making fun of it and by the way the whole JC peny being God being Masia being stuff like that to make fun of is one of the 63 is to make fun of idol worship we also learn this in you're gonna get to it page 25 25b 25b it says to make fun of idol worship you're not allowed to make fun of anything else can't be a joker why because says for the Jokers that people like to make jokes their beginning is suffering their end is destruction hasem hates Jokers he hates people saying start throwing a joke for no reason hates it why you ruined the whole shoeld don't be a joker be a serious person you could joke when the right time to joke fine but there's only one thing you're allowed to joke at any time what against idol worship that's to make fun of idol worship to make fun of Christianity to make fun of all that stuff to make fun of all these people that say the rebi is God or rebi is some type of idol that they've made into it he was sadik he's not God to make fun of it it's not like uh my opinion [Music]
