Shnayim Yomi - Ki Tavo - Chamishi - #5 - Reb Eliav Friedman - Integrity in Private

Khamishi of Parshas Ki Savo, we finally get to the action. What's the action? Brochos and Ha'araros, Klalos and Ha'aravos. Half the Shvatim, six Shvatim go up here, six go up there. Shevet Levi with with the Aron in the middle. Here it is. We're describing what's going to happen, which in Sifrei Shmuel describes how it actually happened. Even Ezra points out a fascinating thing. There are 11 Klalos that are mentioned here. 11 Aveiros. Now, there are 365 Mitzvos Lo Sa'aseh in the Torah. Why are these 11 particularly chosen? So, he says, if you look at the first one, "Arur Asher Yaseh Pesel U'Masacha V'Asah Sham Ba'Saser." "De'echa Asher Ba'Saser." A person who makes some kind of Pesel, some kind of idol, and he worships it, "V'Hu Sham Ba'Saser." And he does it secretly, he's he's cursed. So, he says, all these 11 things are things that are done or can be done or would normally be done privately. These are things that are done B'Shushu, as we say here in Eretz Yisrael. And we don't necessarily know who's about it. If a person does an Aveira which the Chayav some kind of punishment for, Malkus, Misah, all these things that people would be Chayav Misah for, that they do it publicly, they'll be killed. A person might think, "Hey, I'll do it quietly. I'll do it secretly. I'll do it in a way that no one will know about it. So, I'm not going to get in trouble. I won't nothing will happen to me." That's a person who we're cursing. I'm going to leave the punchline to you. What exactly the message is that you want to take from this? But it's a fair Dafke these 11 things. And the last one is "Oh Arur Asher Yakeem." As the Vei Atzei Ha'Aretz, some some some people say that includes the entire Torah. So, could be we got everything else in there. But there's something about doing something in secret, where you so to speak no one's going to catch you, that's someone who we're cursing. And maybe you one might say that someone who's cursed I'm worried about people catching me. I'm not worried about catch people catching me. Some food for thought.
