Rav Meyer Yedid on Building a World of Kindness - Part 1 G-d's Perfect World

the purse excels in tell him call or hot adonai I said the Emmet its paragraph hey this far Adam say this paddock after V Dewey my nephew lotta pine the Villa Mella says coal or hot ash em all the roads to Hashem of God has said via met they are kindness and this truth I would like to spend a few minutes tonight to find out exactly what the Villa Mella was talking about and as we will see it's very much related to the Parishad that we read this morning I'd like to first bring you back a few Parishad Parishad Valera Avraham Avinu is an old man who just had his Brit Milah he's in pain as a result the pursuit says that Hashem made it very hot so hot that no travelers would be able to walk and therefore Avraham would have a few hours of rest from his daily schedule of hosting guests but then let me sook tells us that Abraham was actually in pain here Shep it aha ah hell he was more in pain about not having guests than he was because of his physical pain so what did God do he sent three angels to come visit him these angels came in the form of humans so Abraham did not know they were angels they thought he thought they were regular travelers traveling in the heat and avraham wound and he ran after them there's a few questions on this story I know everybody probably has heard of the story but as a few difficult questions on the story number one we know the way God runs the world he runs it a Pete Eva Tara means nature God does not run a world with miracles where things are changing every moment there's a said there there's an order to this world miracles are done only on a need basis when there's a necessity like when the Jewish people were becoming a nation in Egypt there was a necessity for miracles or miracles based on the situation but miracles are not the normal way of God running this world an angel coming to visit us is considered not nature that's miracle in this situation it doesn't seem that a miracle was needed because Avraham Avinu could have gotten regular humans this visit him all God had to do is lower the temperature the reason why they weren't coming is because it was hot if God would lower the temperature then they would come like a normal day so why did God leave it hot he left it to be very hot and he sent angels why not leave the world in its normal nature what was the great necessity here for a miracle and perhaps a bigger question the second question we know that why three angels were sent how come in tell us one of them came to give Avraham and Sarah the great news that they're going to have a child after so many years tens of years without children the second one came to heal Avraham Avinu as we know every could only do one mission because the essence of an angel is his mission that's what he's about and the third one came to destroy Saddam why he stopped by Abraham was a different class so the question is if God wanted to send these angels in order for each one to do their job what's the connection to them visiting him meaning if God wants visitors for Avraham and he wanted to do it through angels okay for whatever reason so send an angel send an angel that's free that has no other job but to visit Avraham why would he pick the same angel that's going to tell him the news and to heal him to be the one that's going to be his guests Davina Miller says entailing Alam has said even the world was created was built on kindness simply it means that the only reason why we exist in this world we did not make ourselves this is something we all can agree to God made us he doesn't need us he doesn't need anything from us whatever we can give him is because he gave it to us first there's nothing we can do for him so why did God make the world he made it because God has a media of kindness kindness means doing something for someone other than yourself all I'm has said Ye Bunny the world was created because of God's maida of Hesed but there's another meaning to that puzzle it's not just why the world was created it's the way the world will be built every person that was created has their own world to build all of us came into this world as infants and we need to build ourselves we need to build our actions we need to build our wisdom we need to build our character we need to build ourselves in so many ways our lamb has said you bunny the most important the most critical area that's going to help us build our world each one of us is the media of hesed of kindness of doing for others just like we see by God we are here to emulate God and the greatest way we can emulate him is by creating and doing for others like he did for us that's by the way we find the two areas of destruction of the Torah my bull and Saddam both of them had to do with lack of kindness when there's no kindness in the world there's no reason for the world to exist the Hafetz Hayyim writes that if we look at the world we will see that the way the world was built we could learn so much from the way God made the world that has said is a critical part of this world because if you look at every single person we all all of us need somebody sometime in life when we're born were infants as humans we cannot survive on our own we need someone to help us we'd some wants to feed us someone to protect us someone's to help us walk and then we get older we need someone to give us money for poor what we need alone if we're needy for that time oh we need someone who's gonna help us physically for not feeling well god forbid a person has this seem huh you have a wedding you need people to celebrate with you you can't celebrate by yourself lorilynn of a person is an absolute he need someone to come visit a person gets older he needs help from his children from his friends so throughout our lifetime we always need people we need someone to come and help us this is not by accident big one there's poor people in the world people who need money or advice or other things it's not by accident the world would not be perfect like some others say if there would be no poverty you'll be a perfect world no it wouldn't God knows how to make a perfect world he made the world just right because the purpose of this world and the way we're going to build ourselves in this world is through opportunities of kindness if everyone was self-sufficient and no one ever needed our help how would we be able to do for others so therefore God made every person have the ability to help other people in so many ways with advice with money with physical help with a kind word with a smile olam has said he bunny the world will be built on our kindness in fact a besom life says that the torah begins with Hesed and ends with Hesed in the beginning we find that God made clothing for Adam and hava God Himself made them clothing that's hazard at the end of the Torah we find that Moshe Rabbeinu was buried by God himself by a keyboard October guy we seek how kindness again a rabbis ask what is the be sin light coming to teach us every child could open up the Torah and see that the beginning this kindness and at the end this kindness what exactly is the great a douche of Ribisi life so they answer that a besom life was telling us something about the entire Torah if you open a book and you see the beginning his kindness and the endless kindness so you understand that the entire 7 is about Hesed one of the great rabbis of the last few hundred years of urakami writes he says and I'll say in my own words he says imagine you have a person who has God forbid no finger so you would say that's a person with no finger person has no leg it's a person with no leg with no eye with no I it's a person without an eye or we have two eyes but it's a person what would you say if there's a person who had no spine what would you say about that person a person who has no spine would you say that's a person that is fine it's not a person if you have no spine you're not a person this is what a besom line means that the word the torah begins with hence and ends with hesed he's teaching us that just like in the physical there's a spine that's the main part of the person so to the main part of the spiritual person is Hesed which means if a person has all the meets vote but it's missing one Mitzvah he's not so good in this area or that area he's still called a spiritual person but if you're missing Hesed if you're missing kindness in your life if you say no what kindness is not for me that's not my thing I learned Torah I do this I do that but I don't do Hesed Shabbat modesty I do all those things I said it's just not my area that's not my specialty this is a person who has no spine which means he's got nothing you could say that in other Mitzvahed but not my hesed or lamb has said you by name
