You aren't better than anyone else: You aren't G-d's gift to mankind - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

so we're on we're learning pay the climate we're on page llama tests in Tanya now the last thing that we um we we read rather quickly and I want to go over it now is the second line on the page llama tests after the period now today what's the difference if you're talking about the issue of preventing yourself to do away something that's forbidden evil bad or Mali and what's the difference whether it's in in the in regard to doing something good where you're not exerting as much effort right that was the second argument here is going step by step I told you the first thing is he says well the first thing says the two words this isn't a bluff piercing office isn't telling you to pretend to pretend to be humble for someone else but you really should be humble and the question is why seems like I'm so much better and he's a culture of the column it's number one the alternative said to us you're not so much better because the challenges he has you don't have that's number one the second thing he said is not only are not only aren't you much much better because of the circumstances but you're not exerting effort in the good things that you do you're the reason why you think you're better is because this person is a sinner and I'm not a sinner so the Alton episodes you're also a sinner but in a different way not by committing hardcore sins of tyvis and all that but when it comes to giving when it comes to dominant comes to learning you don't wage Muhammad Suma use the words a great war to fight the the yet Sahara and the things that are confusing you when you're diving you're thinking about whatever it is you got to go by you say the words you walk out saying oh I put feeling on I went to Jewel and I got up early really is that is is that is that is that a justification for you who who who didn't really turn on the exertion of avoida so if that's the case you're just as the other person the other person is considered a Russian because he didn't exert himself to close his eyes and not see what he's not supposed to and to until and to avert tyvis that's not that's an insure Mira right and you are doing the exact same thing and I say to you so that so that's what the alternative means here right um says the following all all of it whether it's he says three things [Music] it's the Commandment of the king of the king number two he answers the holy king and number three the holy king who's United who's me you had who's United with everything three different things it would have been adequate Menasha if he would have said it's all the Commandment of the king in other words if the king according to him there's no difference between suram Iran I say tell if he doesn't he doesn't suffice and every word in Tanya is precise this is not a just a newspaper Journal a newspaper or a journal this is Tanya this is this is kadusha this is Tata and he has the word word after hamillah the Holy One so the rep explained this once I'll share because what the rapper said because it's important there's there's a difference between Commandments coming from America King and Commandments coming laws coming from the government from the community the Medina law is coming because of civilization are different in nature the stricter ones and more lenient ones tougher ones and easier ones ones that are you get more reward and less punishment and once you get more replenishment and less reward stealth and emphasis number one over here these are mitzvahs these aren't laws coming from the government from the civilization who made these laws of Toyota hamila the king and guess what to the king there's no difference there's not an iota of a difference right what does it say in pictures do not weigh mistress College oh this is an easy one it's an easy mitzvah this is a stranger one this one I'm gonna be very careful about but this one to begin with hazal put it in a bag called Mrs callus so as explained the hasidis that that's only true of rum when you're talking about the Mitzvahs as they are detailed detailed for us but the mixers they are the when we look at the same mistress from the perspective of Hashem they're not colors and they're not hamuros the whole category the whole category of lenient and easy I'm sorry of lenient and stringent is when you're looking at them from our perspective which Hashem does as well because he wants us to relate to them too but from his perspective every single Mitzvah is all the same foreign to the King's Command is a breach it's not in other words I'm from it's not that what type of a breach is it a big one a small one no no no as soon as you breach God's command you've preached God finished I don't care if it was an easy thing if Hashem says in the Torah and through the grace and Shabbos uh changing the path from here to there and taking out the food this way and this is permissible this is not and up to today we're abundant poskin this is permissible and this is not that becomes so that's number one then he says akadish kadish means not only holy means separate Kurdish or move down right when when someone is not totally objective I.E separate from the situation the person is already subjective already been tainted already been brainwashed already has a predisposed opinion towards the issue at hand so the out that episode says you know what kind of me what kind of Mr Samuel it is that represents total separation and objectivity and therefore there's no difference between if the the the the mitzvahs that we were observing were not coming from the same Melech as the melachus but already as the malach is involved it's as though metaphorically speaking the melee has tainted the mellor is preconceived the melak likes race likes one over the other more you know I just put on the the clip I don't know if you saw it you should see it it's about I'm running a four-part series with with a veteran Mechanicals here he was my rep in the 1970s he's been in a teacher in the Babaji Yeshiva Rabbi for 58 years so yesterday I you know I put it on it's posted now online so he says that Arabia teacher is not allowed to be moved by the smart boy more than the boy who doesn't get it and and you think back in school right your professor or your teacher who you excelled in that subject they they usually you know had more of a liking to you it's in a way it's like the nature of the individual that's the vert God is not that way you can't you can't um I what's the word English you can't buy God you can't bribe them I'm a good student I like you and therefore I'm hanging out with you and I'm following you right today we have all this this crazy you know following people and things like that right and therefore the teacher says oh this this man is following me this one really likes me so I'll really show more favor to him than the other that's a very very um bad way of and if a teacher is that way we have a lot of problems it doesn't mean to say that a student who excels you know better shouldn't be rewarded for that they should but as far as liking a student so the fact that one doesn't get it and one does therefore you show favoritism to one no way that's why I doubt that ever says he here bringing it back to Hashem that the midst of Hashem are not only mitzers coming from the king who decides what the Mitzvahs are not myths was coming from civilization and culture you see this by the way is the refutation to the argument over the centuries let us make the law let's see the community and decide what the law should be and this is what that alludes to here that's not the Yiddish way the law is set by he decides what the Lord is naturally he gives it to us to develop and to implement but foreign that was the first point we discussed before hakade is the second word that he adds here which means he's separate meaning he is not subjective by the individuals who do the Mitzvahs and those that don't so you might say like this the the the the the the Yeet who's more careful in surmeira this is the thinking of this individual the person who's more careful in Surah is is higher is greater than the one that's that that's only careful when I say Tov right [Music] says no it's not true it's not true it's not true and the third thing is if you talk about true Actos there's no difference between one and the other and that's why Dalton mentions these three points let's continue chooses three examples Fila avonda tie it up and now the three pillars upon which the world stands regarding all mentals especially all other myths especially the midst of of money they're afraid of giving truck to DACA and similar I feel a little bit Prince and even okay so one second so until here the alternative finds reason why you the one who's doing Mitzvahs and the one who was learning and the one who's davening it's not adequate you're you're not exerting yourself you're giving a little tadaka you're not emptying yourself out will you give sadakum you're not breaking yourself you're just going your comfort level so whatever the example so in the davening and so in learning so therefore you have no you're no better than the one on the street corner who doesn't exert any energy any effort to fight this and what Etc foreign within himself he doesn't completely avert bad and look at the three words what does that remind you of Abram benching Yakov so in other words even regarding of the avoid of crescent and the afraid of Guru and the avoid of the Pharisees at a time when you have to wage a great War as we mentioned before foreign right you're middle of this great conversation now it's time to learn a diving you gotta stop you don't want to stop now do you have the playoff to exert yourself be quiet now right right we have great conversations it comes time to start to see this you gotta stop but we're having a great time it's a nice social time very nice now it's time to stop no number two is someone who's relating ashanda a disgrace of a friend you know what he did and not even if it's Russian horror but just factual know that big news is negative shame that's the avoider of even it's a very minute disgrace and very the calamoid you know the last he didn't he didn't exactly fill out the truth on his taxes foreign I'm not saying anything outrageous and look at that says even if what he says is to save his own skin foreign this is regarding again he says father I didn't write this kid there was something complicated about to get and written incorrectly so rep shimen didn't want his father to think that he made the mistake Jesus yeah he says I didn't write it who did the Taylor wrote it whatever said to his wonderful son vermily Clash malicious basically shut up stop speaking Russian horror Misha what did he say already all he said was that father I don't want you to think that it's I who may who made the mistake in writing to get this way points out that he says why does the why does the mother have to say to his father if she must say that why is it relevant to tell us that was the father of shiman so that explains because it makes it it fits in with the shot and Tanya because even if he's your father and we know the love of a father and a child right so over here he's doing it more to not just save his skin but to bring nahas to his father so you you would think Yani that when it comes to your father you're allowed to speak this way you want to keep the relationship and if you think your father things you excuse me a jerk for making this mistake so the right away you want to clear it up yeah be quiet it's a form of Russian Hood governor and so there are many other situations many times things happen that we we see that not only are you the holy the Holy Roller not exerting effort in in the good side not satave but even when it comes to Surah you also don't exert and you do Lush in horror a little one here and a little one here and things like that so who are you to think you're better than the sinner on the court on the street corners that's his argument and Dr Lambert doesn't end here Uber frat he says especially if you will take a look regarding matters that are permissible whether you sanctify yourself which you do have to even though it has 20 akshatim on it you don't have to indulge in the food item after that be here says clearly Chapter 30 he follows the opinion of the rambanities who believes who feels that kavisher a Biblical commandment not only a rabbinic one commercial cursive and the support first for that is self and therefore since you aren't being as holy in all matters of the premisable you're a sinner they're sinning you know on the street corners and in the bars and in places like that and then they're sinning in your house when you're reading you're violating what's the difference what there's no difference it says down to that but the guy definitely say for him Dr never says even more so we have a rule in Shahs in the talmud the words of the scribes different referring to the the rabbis the sages are are more strict than the words of Tata and I want to go into right now the explanation but that's what hazal say and therefore when you violate a rabbinic enactment it's only the rabbi who scraped it from under his nail he decided to come up with a you know and a few rabbis got together but it's not black and white Entertainer well fella because I'll say different you're you're a smart man and everything else but you're going against even if you were to argue it's not a Biblical commandment it's only rabbinic so what it's still it's even strong more important than deep retire because coming from the rabbis meaning they saw it in the community the rabbinic enactments were things that they saw so it's kind of more real Hashem you know says I right um says you know never happened right because all to to to to fulfill to fulfill the criteria whether whether a city is Unity look at the rambam says you have to fill it all those Criterion who and that it's never been done nevertheless so in a way it's like a fantasy it's like but a rabbinic enactment of the children on the fire on Shabbos whether it is increasingly heat or not creasing how you take the chunked out that's real we Chong every Shabbos you don't have to be a Bensalem so how are you eating this Germans how does it shown come off the fire so so that's real so the difference the words of the rabbis are from real life and therefore Hashem says you know why you don't care about a little cheat on the taxes here and a little chunked off the fire this way or that way because things that people step on with their heels ah it's not a big number one number two the gum natsuki we've done it one shot bus we'll do it again you know repetition because you already did it once and twice so it no longer is looked at as a serious issue they are safer if you're really someone who knows the book who who knows tater um and you're someone who who supports the player of God if a kid if they say and the closest to God yes but you really want those are three criteria Hillel your day is safe for number one Hashem number two number three victories you really want God you search for God like you search for the for the answer to life for the ant for peace and serenity and and and happiness and goodness such a person the sin is so great for him to tolerate the kids we could fly him his sin is doubled and doubled but my amen by the fact that it doesn't wage war and overpower as yet now in comparison to the waging of war against the yeezer that he should have if he Compares himself foreign here ends the second segment of the chapter which again Maisha what is that that not only am I to be humbled for the everyone because I'm not in their footsteps but here it is saying you are in their footsteps and you still shouldn't be humbled why because if you look at what you are and you look at them you should be much nicer and you aren't so therefore have humility so in other words once you become about the sugar and once you start learning and once you start happening and once we're ready in the community and all that that once we're more learned we have to have more humility and unfortunately you know I don't want to get into it now many times people who become balichuva they develop an arrogance to people years later who are not balichuva and they look down on them and they say yeah like whoa I wasn't able to control myself but then I got out of the run the rut and now I'm better right but he or she ah you know that when you learned this chapter there's no room for that either the fact that they have to do truva still absolutely but guess what you also have to do true but even more juva because you know better you're more you know more better God demands more of you what do they say a little a little knowledge is dangerous yes he will I would say for me personally I kind of have the opposite it's like when I'm when I'm down it's like that I still have all this I still have all this um what did I do too before if I still have all this for that you have to always three years later yeah for that you have to always revert back to chapter 27 and Tanya whenever that thought comes pull out the Tanya or memorize that memorize that section and Dr River says there that were made to struggle and wage war everyone that's it so if you think you do chuva and all of a sudden you're not gonna have this type of you're not the issue wake up and smell the coffee okay the difference is in the control when we say culture because yeah we don't mean it gets easier no foreign I'm the holy person you take a look without that anyone learning chapter 30 and Tanya and learning it well you're not just reading it learning a well and really taking it to heart will change their attitude if they're and and just take this chapter really learn it and live with it and and and you'll change because it's true down to F is just articulating for us things that are so Amos they're so Amis so MS Hebrew will continue tomorrow finish a chapter maybe if I brain for a few minutes about the upcoming Kipper see everyone tomorrow zygous bye is [Music] um
