The Ten Commandments - Part 7 - Rabbi Shlomo Schiller

we spoke about shabbat we said that chabad is the source of the blessing like you see that god bless the shaman and sanctified the shabbat we explained we spoke a bit about the mana right that God because she says that he blessed the Shabbat that you get a double portion on Friday right and and it won't come down on Shabbat so we explained that the mana is also right not only the food in a desert that's actually showing us teaching us that when God is taking care of us right he'll provide you just like provide God provided in the generation of the desert he gave them the manner so also over here right it's always to remember that if you do what you have to do God will take care of you that's really the message right so don't be concerned that you're keeping Shabbat you losing money right we say that's wrong because God that wants you to keep Shabbat you won't lose from keeping Shabbat you'll actually perhaps gain from keeping shabbat shabbat is the source of the blessing for the whole week to come was uh okay and you saw it and the ideas like this you see really the ideas like this why God is doing it that way that they'll get a double portion and friday and shabbat is not coming down what is he really doing training them and teaching them a very that shabbat is different right that when you come into the land of israel and you'll have to work right well your work six days and your rest on shabbat shabbat is different ok ok guys just on that note i like to mention to you the ideas like this i mentioned to yesterday i even told you of a story firsthand right of a fellow that his grandfather right was one of those that came in early 50s the america and then in those years not to work and saturday not to work on Shabbat basically you're fired immediately right it was hard to do though barely people that were keeping Shabbat full Shabbat because i was very hard some of them like I told you thought that its peak wanna fish it's a question of life so it was a great rabbi moshe feinstein you heard about him in america and he said the following somebody came to ask him and he set them like this this is going he passed away already in a buncha feinstein passed away everybody i did leave number one second like 25 years ago right interesting his funeral they bought over his body to hear he wanted to be buried in israel and his funeral guess what what they was about burn so happened to be that right his coffin arrived here in israel on I was on port now a perm is not exactly a day you know that yet that people are very busy important right there missus of the day right having a nice meal mishloach manos getting drunk a bit right so goes on Purim and the you're talking 25 years ago they'll close to 400,000 people came to the via to the funeral even when they say no eulogies but it doesn't mean that no one will say a few words just his ook as they say to wake inspiration but you're right those knows no unity just to go to that and I was buried in how I'm in a hot so interesting just a phenomenal would just we mention him 400 people now most of the people actually didn't see him in their life never saw him so how come they came to the funeral because he was a great rabbi and you know what they knew they know his books and they knew they had a hot that he wrote questions or sent him from all over the world right and he answered the questions so even though they didn't meet him personally but they know who they who he is without to meet him and respecting the rabbi right they came and perm thousands of people to be in his funeral ok guys so family was a story that they come they say like this so they come in there so much a fine sting following how it can be that you have this is going back in America in those days families that the father really sacrificed his life for keeping Shabbat right and his children rebuild so to speak and they don't want to do that anymore they don't want to keep Shabbat and they left or keeping Shabbat or keeping Torah altogether how could be the parents right sacrifice and gave so much for it right also devoted and sacrifice wait how it could be that the children rebuilt and don't want to keep Shabbat that's what emotion feinstein was asked ok and you'll know what was the answer the answer he said the following it depends was the reaction and mostly respond of the father when he came Friday night then he did kaduche and he was cussing and he's saying Ah the only ask what happened right my boss wants to fire me again I'm keeping Shabbat don't ask how odd is it I have to leave the last minute the office right or the factory or whatever because they write I have to run for Shabbat if you do it in a negative way right what's the message to the child it's so hard to be Jewish right so the Sun could say great father you know your great man your hero but this is not for me right very simple that will be the reaction of the child if the father is complaining right cutting they used to say the much offense then you should stay in a dish if you say it Chevelle to be a Jew if it's hard to be a Jew you your children run by it it's not going to go over to the next generation but if you come back right Friday and you're happy and you say yes okay we have challenges and sometimes things are not so easy right but you know we believe that the tour is true and a sham will help us out right and you showing the pleasure of being Jewish and keeping them it certain keeping Shabbat and enjoying the Shabbat right in a nice way that will go over to not tell another generation that you could give over another generation that the child will buy and what's the idea happiness to show the Mitzvahed a giving toss it says the hair that cane on the paths the ways of the mythos is pleasant joy we have to understand that we should be happy that we have the opportunity of doing the midst of pleasant joy and that will go over okay it says that the Jewish people be punished also because they didn't do meet up with happiness what's so bad so you did them it so but without a penis what's so bad about that the ideas like this that God wants you to do the mid so like I told you that it's pleasant it's joy you're doing it with a full heart and if you're doing it what happiness you doing it with a full heart but if you're doing it without happiness what is it yes you are it's external right it's like paying tax you do it because you have to do you don't want to do it you have to do so that's the difference between pain pain tax and right doing a mitsu amit so should be with a full heart with happiness that if is a big lack of that right so it shows it's missing is the essence of the midst of the dinner with happiness if you do it without happiness means its external you do it because you have to do it right so right the certain things in life we do because we have to do you know you go today today the grocery and buy stuff right because you have to you need stuff in the house right you enjoy go to the grocery you do it because you have to do the ideal of the mitza and the real perspective and the attitude and the way we should do is the matter is with happiness that means that you're doing it with a full heart ok guys so that was the inch of a moshe feinstein right right it depends was the how did the father act respond for these challenges at that time ok the Q is happiness ok guys let's go on so page 411 so verse 12 right so I'll read in the Hebrew cup bid honor it the V saw your father the eddie mekka your mother man in order yeah a little me emeka you'll have a long life on da dama I'm the earth I share a similar castle which I shamia God is giving to you so which commandment is it which number is this fifth right number five where is this right we said that five Commandments that between man and God and the second five are men and men so why this is here why to honor the parents right father and mother are in man to God shouldn't it be in the second set is the question clear good answer yeah because the way you respect your mother fathers the way to respect their pen you don't you don't respect your father respect in front of you after you respect me okay very good so you saying good let's just add to it so okay is the question Claire yeah okay so what it's this is man-to-man right so seems that he should be in a second five not in the first five right so why honoring the father and mother on the first five which is meant to God so the answer is like said but let's just added a bit guys that is like this they the first on a simple level the Talmud says that are three partners for every human being who are the three partners father and mother and a shin so now that already answers the question right ashame is saying honor your father and mother because they are mari partners right so you want your honoring one partner actually honoring old partners because if they're really together right they're all happy together so that's just on a simple level right entering the question already yeah three partners in every human being so Shem says honor them you're honoring me but a little bit more than that the the cephalic I know you know is a book that counts all the mitzvot we have the tradition of 613 mitzvot right and the sofa you know now in the tour itself guys in the written Torah it's not counted even an omission ER is not counted what are the 613 and even in the Gomorrah no only in the Talmud is both on the number 602 18 but it doesn't give you a list what are they 613 you hit idea ok who the one that really started counting it sought and get to the number 613 is the ratio name the early commentaries like the rambam and others ok or they go name absurd you're gone okay so okay so the book called safavi not very common very popular that he counts them its own and gives you a bit of reasoning to the Mitzvah what's behind the Mitzvah so he says like there if a man will appreciate what his father and his mother are doing for him that will bring him to appreciate what is God during Fame so right so right that's what you said that's why yeah a little bit different right the ideas like this that if you appreciate right what you mother and do for you right so much usually right they did say you so much will bring you to appreciate what God does for you okay and the idea is that that's a very crucial like they also in Judaism haha not at all you heard the two words in Hebrew haka that hatov haka that means to recognize right ha tov wats tov good meaning when somebody did you a good deed you should remember and recognize it and don't deny it ok and that's a very important point because God is saying right if you really appreciate what your parents are doing feel you'll appreciate what I do to you God created the world God created all the species that we have enrolled fruits vegetables you can breathe walk right go right you saw the stickers bahasham menina shame all right so it's the Annie notion now notion breathing right me so it's a nice sticker right Babu cachet menina champ right Thank You Shanna I'm able to breathe right so just that that you wake up in the morning you're able to breathe walk go go to work right learn Torah study Torah do me so that is be thankful but that's the idea to appreciate and to recognize it now how far we go let's just explain a minute how far we go with this idea of you know to recognize a nothing I write that idea when somebody did to you something good I gotta talk so if you look in Victoria guys it's very interesting moshe the speaking to Pharaoh let my people go right father says no I don't want right so it starts negotiation right and then we start the 10 plagues right on Egypt the first one is hitting the river right who hits the river Moses Aaron Aaron why Aaron absolutely right does he keep Moshe King from the water so you want to respect oh yeah ok so ok why Aaron hit the river and not Moses the answer is what Yeshua said you hit the idea guys the idea is that errant Moshe did not want to hit the river because right when he was a baby was that the created one of the decrees of ours the furrow all baby boys to the river and he was burnt he was born early Moses himself was born early him his mother gave birth when he was like seven months of pregnancy so they build the ark right and and they hide him in the river in that arc and what's interesting is that who finds him the daughter afar herself and she has mercy on him but anyways right Moses was saved right in the ark in the river so the water so to speak saved Moses so Moses doesn't want to hit the river right for that reason you hit idea ok now let me ask you does the water have feelings no so what are you telling me here Moses does want to hit the water because right the water has feelings same reason we've covered a hollow or on Shabbat night because it's not it's not that the Colorado River happiness the fact that we have to show that if we have respect for the column we have most highly respected rivers even more so for other people it's more to herself ottoman father's pocket the habit of making kiddush and there's red tail Cecilia he didn't even do research nothing I have you correctly so the answer is what Sam said when somebody did you see when somebody said well somebody did to your good deed right and we're talking about parents right to recognize the favors that they take care of you help you out right oh god or any friend that did you a favor the ideas like this when God wants you to recognize it and to appreciate to make you a better person that's the idea and the idea is therefore they do is like this even write mostly Moshe is teaching us even the river the water has no feeling but you should respect and honor the water saving you right and it doesn't matter if that object or that something in the world won't realize even that you're giving them back a favor so to speak right doesn't matter it's because it's the making you the better person and that's the message to us that's what we're learning from here that will go so far away that Moshe doesn't want to hit the water doesn't wanna hit the river is because he showing us that the main idea of the mitzvoth is to make us better people training us the more good deeds that you do you become a better person so that's the idea the training us the idea of thinking about the other one no you know what the other one did to me when he did to me a favor don't deny it so obviously guys when we're talking about a human being and I give him back a favor even better right so somebody did to me a favor and I give him back a favorite great but what we are learning here is that even write something that has no feelings any objects or anything you know there's no feeling is the idea of hacker thought that I remember the good that they did to you okay the same thing guys we just mentioned another thing it says a matter that if you find out you know when you slaughter animal and you found out that was not wasn't a healthy animal right right that's called caifa you found she has a hole in her lungs right or you or any car any dead body right that you can eat because was not slaughtered right novella okay fine so it says in the turn one of the places you know what you do you throw it to the dogs why you throw it to the dogs what's so special about the dogs correct so barks mmhmm that's right very good so it says that when the Jewish people right left Egypt the dogs did not bark right they kept quiet so we recognize that and I appreciate that so we throw it to them we give them the meet the flesh that we cannot eat now let me ask you obviously we all know right is it the same dogs of Egypt when I fro now meet flesh right is it the same dog that was in Egypt no so what's the point right this past a while from when we and out of Egypt right so what's the door what's the idea that i'm throwing flesh and me to the dog right it is again they did haka at the toes to remember to make you a better person so it doesn't matter if you have is somebody that is receiving a benefit tomato no or remembers that you're doing it because of a favor right because it's training us teaching us just to be better people ok so that's a very crucial that's the idea of honoring father and mother right and like the clinic sir that they'll bring us if you if you have fooled with this complete with this you're doing right you understand it well that will bring you to the conclusion why if I honor my father and mother that means i should really honor god right and they'll bring the conclusion to honor and respect okay guys how your honor in respective parents what happens when your mom says do you make your bed right so honoring respecting appearance is listening to them right practically speaking this is that if the father or the mother have a special chair in the house so it says not to sit on that chair children should not sit on the sick and the chair of the father or mother if it's a special chair that they usually sit they shouldn't sit shouldn't contradict them if a father mother say something do not contradict them right so now practically speaking you might say that that times in life that may be a disagree so you have to find the wind and say it in a nice way you can go directly and say ah that's nonsense right all right you can't do that so practically speaking is showing honor and respect in it in the in life right not to sit on the chair not to contradict them not to scream and then it says even in the tunnel that even if a father is taking a wallet right your wallet with money and thrown into the water just keep quiet don't screaming him the two there is a great commentary early commentary called the hush and his son is the two which wrote a major structure for Jewish alejado to okay before the shikon o.o who's written was a book called the tool that's the son of the rush and what he does he brings quotes from the ham bomb from early commentaries like the rambam the reef right and his father and sometimes he want to disagree with his father so he says my master my teacher my father he honors respects him and says right says different right it doesn't right so when he wants to stay a different opinion right he says his opinion and he says but my father must have that said different he doesn't say I disagree right just bring in the opinion and saying I think let's say like the other two commentaries let's say that unbound right and the wave and my father the master taught at our right says definitely okay so much is asking what happens if a father mother satyr son don't keep Shabbat what do we do so the idea is like this you see when if it comes to inflict a break a law Natori you have to listen to God right because what's the idea cuz your father and mother they themselves are commanded to listen to God right so so to speak right it's like an army guys right you have an officer right the parents are the offices but you have a chief officer for example right so if the chief officer gives you orders right everybody has to listen to the chief officer right even the simple officer has to sit listen to the chief officer yeah you understand so the parents are like the officer for this matter right so you have to listen to them they give you orders you haven't listened but if they contradict what the chief officer says so they're out hard loaded okay so okay so this the idea is they have to complete something from the Torah you don't have to listen to them but practically speaking I'll just tell you be wise and you gotta do it in the right way okay so especially when we have it a lot in each other here when guys write show interest of getting intimate oh I'm it sort and some sometimes the parents are not so happy you have to handle it in the right way don't told the parents you know you're not right and you're wrong and I want to do turn you you know you'll go to hell and I'll go to heaven and I don't do that right so you heard clearly for me don't do that right so you have to do it in the right way guys the ID in life is even when you're right right you gotta be wise and do it in the right way if it conflicts directly something in the Torah you listen to God because is a verse in the Torah says keep my shabbat right and fear and respect your father and mother why is it in the same verse keep shabbat and feel your father and mother what's going on here ok very good very good right is clearly to show you the other keep Shabbat in the matter what even that you have to respect the father and mother but if they can flicked and told you don't do that you don't have to listen to them okay so guys that's the idea the idea is right because their commanded also to listen to return to follow the term to follow God right practically speaking guys you have to write do it in the right way be wise right don't don't correct your parents too much right be wise s the rabbi right if you're in the conflict make sure to do it the right way okay guys let's go on I remember the full my bar mitzvah so my father it's a many people do that you go two rabbis to get a blessing right and advice right so was a great versus evil over here in bnei brak hold up shock is the receiver is a Shivan pune called shiva in neighbor called paunovic one of the largest achievers in israel and he was a person he was over 90 he actually does he passed away when he was 103 I guess something like that and when before my bar mitzvah so my father took me to him so we went into his room I mean it was amazing he was a ver SI Shiva and yeah you know he's a like the leader of the loaf Iranian community and the house was so simple like one of the rooms in the Shiva nothing just a sheer table and books books books books books all over the whole way right the room that he was sitting loaded with books the next door room everything was but just shelves with books and in his in his room with him sitting was a simple chair table right and the light on it and that's it so anyways he said to me listen to this listen jingle a right listen child right don't be too smart listen to your parents and whatever they told you to write thousand for life number six number six you should not kill you should not murder you should not kill so they did let me just explain a minute guys you know so this is one of the also when the main things in Judaism that we believe in life right Judaism is about to live life in the right way not to die to live life in the right way right the it's what I giving to us right where as physical people right to use the to sanctify the spiritual so to speak right to sanctify this that sanctified the physical so the rule rights of life is number one in a Torah guys if somebody comes right let's say and since that you brick shabbat if now I kill you what do you do breaks about why I life I can polish about so as you would 10 ok very good so we have a verse that says the high behem you should live with the door that's the whole idea right you should live with the door right and the whole idea is I'll be able to do mum it's what if I live right so you will accomplish you'll grow more right by doing mom eats lots of life comes first there are three exceptions for that yeah met Jenna help us 131 Kostich education they were told eat eat this pork or die and they they refused ok very good very good question so the idea over there you see it could be that they self at that time you see this is on a personal on an individual level somebody comes the person says then break sabato eat perk he breaks shabbat and its perks but if they are fighting Judaism right as a religion the whole thing changes because they're fighting Judaism right not an individual person so that changes the whole case okay gives it all my food mom is there i'm a right correct correct ok guys so the idea right on the individual right practically speaking right he breaks you bot eats pork right and right live and there's after shame right he'll do even more mitzvos in the future right there are three exceptions for that that you should give you life what are three exceptions ok very good so there are three exceptions we are in the three in the ten commandments that the three are the three from the Ten Commandments and the first one is to worship idols meaning if they come to you and Satan bouta dis statue right serve this worship this Idol and if no would kill you you should give his life right that is the first two Commandments right imma show me God don't have another god right so if they comment the person forcing him to worship idols he should give his life does number one number two is don't kill right if they come to men and say them kill this guy if no we kill you what happens now you see a lot of killed that guy so okay very good so that's number two right you know let it kill somebody else to save your own life okay number three is act of adultery right that we didn't get to yet but that's also in the Ten Commandments right so okay so those are the three exceptions by the way guys listen carefully the three exceptions is that's the right thing to do and a Jew that did it meaning that he didn't worship the idols right he gave his life he didn't kill somebody else right he gave his life not to kill somebody else right and right he didn't do act of adultery right he sanctified God's name and he did kaduche am ok but what happens if a man wasn't up to you know he wasn't updated standing with a gun whatever would assert and say you gotta bow to the statue you got to worship idols and he did would he be punished right so first all right so let's say guys well the source for this is you have to give you life even some sometimes you have to give you life we learn it from the verse first verse in shmeh if the we say schmale save I hafta love hashemi God they are half the love of shame you God the whole of our car would only hard overhaul navaja even with your soul even in life so that's the search that sometimes right we do have to give the life of this however listen carefully that's the right thing to do yet but horn of shikahr there are times that i have to give their life however if somebody wasn't up to it and he did it because that he was forced to do it he will not be punished was against his will he didn't want to worship idols you do one right he didn't want to kill you didn't want to do the act of adultery if he was forced to do it he'll not be punished so this is a very interesting idea guys so you have three exceptions that you have to give your life right but if somebody wasn't up to it he won't be punished because it was against his will the midst of kedusha Chandeleur from god's name sanctifying God's name was the store i'll mention to you to be continued tomorrow visitation you
