this exact argument
used
means somebody who's like you inah and
MIT they use this as the argument that
we should not love Sinners Like
ourselves because they are not they are
not like us in Torah I've heard this
argument by non well it's not
but what I'm saying is that is
acknowledge
that by people are who are like you and
Torah mitv this applies to them when
they continue being Sinners so there's
no argument the non are right so far
wait wait you got a few lines from now
they're not going to be right but at
this point they're
right hello what about the people who
are not yeah it's here yeah mat is here
go ahead go
ahead what about the what about the
misguided people the Jewish people
unfortunately who are we read about them
in America are demonstrating faor Hamas
I mean you know they have a Jewish Soul
that's true but you know do are we
supposed what do we do about correcting
them and what do we do we have to
dislike them wait wait wait those people
are not what what isra is speaking about
is not what you're speaking about two
separate groups of people isra is
talking about people who are from and
together with you and Bas metc and all
that you're talking about people who are
either not religious even the're
religious they don't they don't no
better and all that it's a whole
different group so first give give me a
second the AL first addresses the first
group and and is do you understand that
the AL is agreeing with the non about
it's a gamar there's nothing there's
nothing there not about the it's
a
the that group on that level on that
level if they continue sinning you're
not supposed to hate them you're
supposed to hate their act which is
wrong and it's wrong that's it nothing
nothing to talk about now let's just
go became third line let's read inside a
few more lines that have
discussion be and
nevertheless this is a group of people
that together with you in Tor mitz and
you rebuke them many times 100 times Etc
more and they didn't yet they didn't
do as it says that's when the
application of
the to hate their their their evil is
appropriate
a here now a Masha he addresses now your
group someone is not not your buddy
don't tell me that those non-religious
people or you know others are your
friend they're not your friend they're
not our friend they don't sit together
with us they don't break bread they
don't eat with us they don't learn with
us that's what we mean they don't learn
with us they don't do
mitz not only are they not our our
friends they're not your
friend they're not close to you you have
no relationship with
them that's where H statement is
valid be amongst the students of
Aon love peace
Etc love creatures all of
creation T and bring them close to Torah
don't make a compromise in Torah but
bring them close
to what does this
mean seemingly the group that man you
ident ified even those that are distant
from God's and God's
service Alma that's why the name we
attribute to them is merely creatures
their their only um good point is that
they were created by
God they must be
slept with thick by thick rope of Love
thick ropes of love the
and maybe just
maybe they'll come close to TI on the
service of God and then the AL
says and what if they don't you exerted
yourself and you made every effort to
bring them close and they basically do
not become close
to you who attempted to bring them
closer did not lose the reward for the
Mitzvah of loving
others well right I'm going to stop
right here so what is the AL saying over
here what is he saying here so here he
addresses this group that n identified
seemings right he's talking about a
group of people who are not who are
not and they're
not they're not your friend and they're
not close to you okay I I'll tell you
the story cuz Nasha you weren't here for
our classes in the past so this is new
to you some of the other guys heard it
but it's worth repeating again and that
is and that is
that that's it's like this when I was in
Marin County I was the kabad
rabbi in Marin County in Northern
California and I had a group of Bali
Chua who wanted Orthodoxy and kabad and
asul and everything and they brought me
there
okay one of them was a a doctor in a in
in a hospital and one day he comes to me
and he says you know my contemporary my
friends the doctors are all many of them
are Jews we grew up in Brooklyn together
the same you know high school as Barbara
stron went to you know all
ye and uh when it comes time to eat I'm
eating tuna
fish what soda whatever potato chips
whatever I mean you know kosher
food and they go to the cafeteria in the
hospital and they eat
th so he said to me Rabbi i i i these
are people that I know you know we're
we're doctors together we we rub
shoulders in the in the hallway he says
I I really want to I really want to let
let them have it to tell them you know
there's levels of tra you're going to
eat shrimp you know come on you know
there's a degree to everything you're
not careful about this about that but
you know that from where you come from
you know your parents didn't eat that
even if they weren't fully kosher that
argument and he says he really wants to
give it to them so I answered him with
the following question you know a Jew
answers a question with a question
question what was my question Dr so and
so when's the last time you played golf
together and they said and he said I
didn't okay when's the last time you
went bowling together I didn't when's
the last time you went out for a walk
together I didn't ah so you only know
each other from the hallway in the
hospital and from the from the operating
and the checking and all that you do
together and all that right that's
not you're not their friend and they're
not your friend it's a matter of
convenience that's not called
friendship when we talk about when the
tit talks about giving rebuke and muser
we're talking about to someone that you
have a relationship with that's what the
AL is saying here as he explains the
kazal to stand in the street corner and
start giving rebuke to everybody is that
what a t meant you absolutely not
absolutely not it doesn't make any sense
you have to have a
Casher so Nasha when you talk about
people who you have no CER with who have
I have no CER with to rebuke them from a
Torah perspective it doesn't make sense
to say that their political views are
wrong that's a different story we're not
talking about now you know politics
we're talking about doing
against the will of God in mitz
literally not hey you know supporting
Kamas of course is like doing against
the I know that but that's not what we
mean here we mean here he puts on Fillin
or he doesn't put on he eats shrimp or
he doesn't eat
shrimp you know what I'm saying concrete
hardcore mitz and that's what the AL is
saying such yeen that you don't have a
CER with one second the only way to get
them closer
is and emphasizes and I emphasized it
when I said it earlier not to bring
Torah to them and make a compromise in t
some people did that as well no no T is
the way T is MIT the compromise should
be in them and teach them over the years
how to adopt their life in a healthy
positive way to the ways of mitz and
that's how the AL
and he says that's what hill meant so
when Hill said before we we quoted Hill
that this is the entire Torah and
everything else is just a commentary on
Torah and hillo implies that that a
Jew's perspective should be love love
love he's talking about to a Jew who
doesn't know any better yes he
live I was going to say perhaps we could
say here that
uh this word am is you can only really
uh approach a relationship with somebody
who will know out of it that you're emo
that you're with him yeah that's what it
says IM IM IMO IM means with IMO yeah
yeah yeah but but that that's by
definition that only that somebody who
would know that can you uh can you
approach and and challenge him and
rebuke him in this way
right right that's the ver that's the
ver what the AL is saying now um is I I
I don't know you raised a a question do
you understand the answer that I gave
you or or
not
yeah you know
it's I just want to before we go it's
like especially in kabad and kir of
organizations kabad as well you know
it's like we're marar people right so
anything goes that's wrong that's not
the way it is it's totally
wrong the fact that you know in the 60s
and 70s the kabach for example on campus
like I told you the other day brought in
the hippies and the people and all kinds
of things were going on cuz they didn't
know anybody was the first step they
today those people are grandfathers with
with grandchildren who are learning in
the isas who are who are rabbis were
teachers you all know that so the first
thing is he you got you got to open the
door okay and and and and iser to to say
that the the LX whatever you call them
you know have another approach not today
really really it it the the C of
movement out
of and other
organizations yeah I'm not going to say
that they have the exact approach that
kabad does absolutely they don't but but
nevertheless they there is a an openness
and a willingness to work with people
let's
continue now
says now he addresses another
point of even those that are close to
you which earlier we said is that if
they don't change their ways there's
place to to hate they're
evil and you already scolded
them and they didn't return they didn't
do
CH for their
sins and we established based on the G
that it's a to hate them at the next
words there's also a Mitzvah to love
them as
well wait a minute this seems
contradictory it says
the both ideas are
true the hate you focus on the bed
within them the and the love to them
focusing on the good that's buried
within them which
is this refers to the Godly
spark that's within
them that sustains their Godly soul I
just heard I just give you an example
since Basha you know obviously spoke
about and it's on his mind and I can
understand I just heard in sh just came
from sh so I forget they they they said
um oh Dan Pearl remember Dan Pearl was
murdered years ago right right Dan Pearl
was his name yeah so his grandson signed
up for the IDF it was a very a liberal
and he sided with the Palestinians you
knowah the whole story any you know even
though they murdered his grandfather
right
he just this week he he's known I don't
know he writes or he talks he said
that's it from last shabas on I do chuva
I saw I was
wrong in other
words when the Jewish
Nish is
alerted then they do
Tru you could be the biggest liberal and
overnight you
change
why cuz the was revealed how it was
revealed NE took this atrocity to to
reveal it but it was
revealed and the same is true for person
who you know in every
situation I don't have to tell you you
know that how people who were so
despondent and so deplorable and so bad
and so mixed up and all that and
overnight all of a sudden they got a
wake up call and you say enough is
enough and and and I'm and I'm bettering
and improving my ways so the AL says
here a great thing he says even the Jew
who the gamar says there's room to hate
that's the bad within him the good
within him you have to always love the
same
Jew so that that iser could be where
there's a departure between the Al and
and I would say the is the and non who
take the gor literally and say no in
other words they will argue I just want
to make you know for the sake of honesty
they will argue with the
MIT
thisle thisle I could see them
disagreeing with but not the earlier one
that's I want to make that clear to you
is Sir in other words D's novelty here
in this chapter of R is
that even to someone who deserves to be
hated because of their bed you should
love them
simultaneously love and hate hate the
bad love the
good that's a and that's
the what I was saying earlier is that
this idea has
also gone into the L World there are
some and the and other groups and and
and and really has caught on where today
I
believe almost everyone feels aam gam
Kang so therefore even the left B even
the left and others who are protesting
and this and that you have to focus on
two things the the the the ra is
ridiculous should be despised but the is
beautiful
soad always tries to put the emphasis on
the the on the on the good we know about
the bad we have ourselves bad that Dr
doesn't say this here but I want to just
conclude with one that could think about
yourself just think about ourselves are
we perfect no way do we have some bad
some absolutely do we have good
absolutely do we want hem to put the
focus on our bed we're in trouble if if
God does that I tell you we are in deep
trouble
cuz I know that I am far from perfect
okay and I know my issues and you know
your issues so you don't want AEM to put
the focus on that you want him to put
your focus on your and your goodness and
everything else the same treat another
you that way you
understand love your neighbor as
yourself just as on yourself you want
Hashem to look at the good and not the
bad do the same thing to someone else
yes
H um question I might have missed this
was for a minute
yeah
says can you expand a
little yeah in other words the brius b
brius means creatures B ordinary you
know in other words their only saving uh
Grace is that God created them otherwise
they're deplorable and
Despicable so in other words why should
I even look at you because God created
you you know you're a creature of God
but outside of that you have no no no
virtues says even such a Jew even such a
Jew should be respected got to go we'll
see everyone tomorrow have a good day
Shalom bye
