love to catch people when they're lying
to you. The problem with that mentality
is that even though them lying is a sin
against the Torah, you knowing that
they're going to lie to you and allowing
them to lie and in essence encouraging
him to lie and enabling him to lie,
you're also going to get punished for
it.
What is this like?
Shalom. He uh used to go from place to
place to sell his books
and
he would go away for an extended period
of time. 6 months he's on the road
selling his books from town to town. He
gets to a new town. He gets late. He got
uh delayed. It's already late Friday
afternoon. He runs into the community.
He goes to the rabbi. He says uh you
know it's Shabbat's almost coming in. So
he gives him whatever money he has, all
the money he has, he goes, "Please hold
it for me." In those days, people were
trustworthy. You would give the balabite
your money and he would give it back to
you. He'd put it in a safe and he would
give it back to you when you leave, when
you went to a hotel, when you went to
stay by someone and so on. So he gives
the bal the rabbi, the rabbi of the
kila, he gives him all of his money.
That's six months worth of money. Six
months panas. His family at home is
waiting for this pan.
letters he sends his wife is how's the
cow doing the cow's the panasa why
because he's selling books he has to
bring the pan home so now six months
worth of money six months of panas he
just gave it to this rabbi but since
it's moments before Shabbat there's no
time to make him sign an agreement
so he says Shabbat shalom gives him the
money prays Shabbat it's time for him to
leave
packs up and leaves without the money so
the rabbi is very excited
came by. Wow, what a great Shabbat.
He starts thinking, "Oh, wait a minute.
I forgot the money with me. I forgot. I
forgot to give him the money." He starts
running in the street, starts running,
running, running, catch,
you took your shoes, you took your
donkey, you took your dish, you took
your books, took everything. You
remember something else? You remember
the money or you forgot the money? Says,
"You think I forgot the money?" How can
you forget about six months worth of
salary? I didn't forget about the money
cuz once you ask why'd you get the money
because because I didn't have enough
time to sign an agreement with you. You
took ownership of the money. You took
you borrow you you had possession of the
money
and technically I gave you the ability
to lie because now is your work because
there's no agreement that testifies that
you actually took the money. If I asked
you for the money and you said no, I
didn't take the money. Technically, I
can't prove it, but it doesn't really
make a difference. You are now able to
lie. And that one lie, that one lie that
you now and I enabled you to make by not
signing an agreement can actually create
an angel big enough to destroy your
entire city. So why should I put you in
a position where you have to lie? So
that's why I said you know what it's
better that I lose six month worth of
salary
than put you in a position where you
have to fight your and lie once. We
are excited to find someone lying to us.
Ah I knew you were lying. Ah you liar. I
caught you. You were there on Tuesday,
weren't you? Oh you said you didn't eat
but you ate. I see the ketchup on your
cheek. I see it. Ah you ate. We love to
catch people we lie. The reality of it
is Satan and Shamim is also loves to
catch people lying.
He says, "Oh, you like catch people
lying. Let me show you how I catch
people lying." Don't catch people lying.
You know they're going to lie to you,
don't say anything. Don't put them in a
situation to lie. Why? Cuz now you
become
if you know they're going to lie to you,
don't say anything.
Don't say anything. Don't be become a
partner. Don't enable them to lie to
you. You know they're going to lie,
don't ask. Don't ask. Don't ask the
question. No need.
