Shovavim Series - Parshas Mishpatim: Becoming a Spiritual Person | Rabbi Nachum Binder

[Music] is a very interesting par follows that took place at the end of and starts off with the intricate laws of of the laws of and is followed by a few other a few other mitv and then at the end of the par we go right back to this is where CL says this is where the bris the Covenant between and the is made and the ma are bothered why do we stop in middle of cab of insert the par and then go back to finishing off the par of and I saw a fascinating and the that I saw it is in the shom and then explains that the t is teaching us a very fundamental the t is teaching us that we know the greatness the kadha that there is in we know that t elevates a person T brings up a person and we might think that what type of T does that maybe when we learn about spiritual maybe when we learn about things that are that bring the heart closer to the but maybe when we're learning about we're learning about monetary laws of we're learning about G the of a we're learning about how one tricks his friend and what he's to do when he does that maybe that wouldn't have those spiritual powers of T to elevate the person the t is telling us that that is the same of of as any part of because the Hashem is what's mades the person and when you're learning anything in that elevates the person that uplifts the person and that brings the person closer to the but I think we can say a different what is the that's so important about the is it just that the T wants people to be nice people is it just smiling at your friend and being nice to your friend the T peram explains that the that are so important is because the purpose of a person on this world is to become a spiritual person a spiritual person is someone that's selfless the more a person is busy with himself a person that's busy with his own tiis with his own ress with his own success is not going to to be connected to the way it's not possible for him to be totally focused on his when he himself is part of the equation and the in Mish and the both tell us a person was created to break himself to something that's difficult for him and not do it something that's difficult for him to do and to do it to go against his very nature because when a person breaks himself that person is becoming a person is not about or just about smiling at your friend is about taking yourself out of the equation and thinking about the other person without any Nas without any reasoning that it's worth it to be a nice guy because then people will like me but rather thinking about the other person focusing on him and only him Zak that is only possible for someone who is AIS person who is able to break himself and become selfless that's when he can start focusing on someone else and I think that that's what the t is teaching Us in middle of the par because our purpose on this world and therefore the purpose of cabal is to become a person that can break ourselves that could be that could go against our wants our Wills our our T and we can break it the way that that shines out is in our relationship with other people if we're going to be selfless and not thinking about ourselves when it comes to other people then the tah is affecting us and the tah is making us into better people and there's another part of the par that the T says over here the T tells us in middle of this week's para about the of about not eating things that were not allow to eat and the tells us andash brings some if you're going to be careful about what you eat then you will be kadim you will be holy why is being careful about what we eat so crucial to the inion of kadus and the answer is very simple because every person has naturally a TAA to eat a person could be very hungry a person that hasn't eaten for a while he's starving and he sees something with questionable casus a kades is someone that can control himself and not eat what he really wants to eat because the T tells me be careful don't eat it these two and of breaking our and that is a crucial part of because that's the purpose of man on this world as the and the teach us we're entering the sixth week of sh How about if this week we do something different ult How about if this week we try let it be once a day once every other day a few times this week to break our will something that we want to do hold ourselves back let us become elevated through the that we experienced in and let that bring us to the ultimate of the cabala which is in safe let us think about other people without thinking about ourselves let us restrain ourselves from eating something if there's a question about it let us work on that aspect of K to be to [Music] become
