Kindness Can Be Done to the Rich & Poor, Charity only to the Poor(Pirkei Avot Class #8)

the finished anecdote I know we put a mission of Beth and gimbal together but the last thing when it says and the third Amud that said was right now the greatness of that Robin Yoni mentions which is for you yeah Aaron what oh yeah sorry so when he's talking about the famous um that's where I was over here very famous urbaniona when he's talking about the Mala one second I just had enough oh yeah so he says there are many talked about running mitzvot this is which um people aren't careful about right he missed the whole list and one of them is things that some people aren't necessarily careful about the harmony the general populace are not so um says you should let them know the way in which they should go in the path which they should walk in and remember by the way meaning they were you know that's the way of path a person should take in life is foreign over here before we carry on says and I quote he says very very important he says he says as fathers he says um now he says first of all it is possible to help a rich person with money by lending you money it could be did some big deal and he wants to make another big deal and he's short of a million or two yeah above or two and uh so you help him out with the money but he says not only that he says also when I tell them give him some good Sound Advice says referring to the things sweet smelling oils the Couture sweet swinging spices to the hardware person um and what's sweet to his friend is a sound advice and to be honest says it means just like foreign how to do something maybe try this and this and oh you know free didn't cost you anything right this is um you find faith in the eyes of Hashem right and that's what the Bible create we said we're going with the bathroom that this is the reason why the world was created and you can understand we want to reach and even we said before everything's included in the Torah but he said is the whole world right so when a person does aggressive we are going walking the ways of God Hashem that's the ultimate right because it doesn't tell us anything but right that's that's why it's a very big Mitzvah now um yeah now verbena to carry on over here in um in uh he comes to our mission after he says on the mishna just how I you know give an example of of I mean you know that's what I've been young and says there's a million things right it's time to help a person now in anything it doesn't have to be an eight sir anything which has nothing to do with money right a person can do right it needs to be good for really the age of the example I mean it wasn't really any big tirucha to give someone some advice doesn't you know I mean it's not even that much time it wasn't physical physically straining if it wasn't money so as an example has said you know helping someone out without money but it's gonna help someone to step things do I mean rest or somebody needs to help any any of these sort of things now um he says quoting from he goes therefore are tweet is explained it's so important and he says and then he says he's a famous famous line right which is it should be a Guiding Light he says a person is obligated to go out of his comfort zone to really you know push himself but you shall travel or more to achieve the good for the people of the community to constantly work on himself to try and help anyone out any due out whether it's poor whether he's Rich a person should be constant in that frame of mind not just said all right why not you know he says the person is it's a it's an no just a nice thing he did it and he's explaining that you know the the boundaries they get to the midsize to go out the way for the community for individuals and to be constant on your mind and put effort physically brain power into how you can help other people that is right now um I can't remember exactly the the um McCoy now I think somewhere says the prophet he says you want to know personal Hashem wants from a person they speak demands of a person you know into it and he writes over there also like you know is there a she or has said you know you have a Mitzvah has said so like every day you know you have to make sure you did one master has said or there's a limit there's no minimum Shield there's no maximum there's a minimum you're with me whatever that they go didn't have to fight again maybe next week I'll find where you know he defines the actual parameters I mean what you've done the mitzvah for the day what you have to do but that's the idea of it now that was very very important now um where are we yeah now I just wanted to on this on this point before you do the next mission um this time waited for a few weeks to say that I didn't say this story they said a story about the guy from America did I say it last week one I didn't say it did I yeah um if I did so just know the smile politely and say because my father remember I said an example we said of someone doing um someone who was in hospital with a relative hey not recently in in this country I did say I didn't say hey you look at me I don't remember and we have I did save about the the okay no no I said that I never said or not I have comment I don't think I came up to you I don't remember if my knit that he was in hospital with his with his person with his child and I think it was a triatidic and people go around you know the whole time organizations you know as a mission people going around giving free drinks and this and then toys for the kids you know all sorts of Staff thoughts and this thing I mean I'm going around you know doing Crescent so um so this person said that that's just a story happened a few weeks ago that he was there and some guy came around I think with his wife and some of his kids picked their family so and he was being broken he had a very strong American accent I mean either he just moved here you could see so he said hey I'll speak English oh very good whatever he said the guy said can I offer you anything don't I give you like sandwiches and this and now they're like oh Charlie so he said thank you very much appreciate it and this and that so this person inquired said you know can I ask you know what's your name so he said the guy said his name what's her name so um the father of the child said um you know I do work in America I'm involved with different communities and stuff and that name rings a bell if I no but now the person I dealt with like about 10 years ago and it's a business lived in this area where it was Highland Park Minnesota I know the areas over there New Jersey you know or something one of the areas in there um and this the person I knew with his name was like a billionaire he has some fashion made companies and label like he's a billionaire this guy a Jewish guy um I think called Echo no it's called Echo are there some fashion name called Echo I don't know whatever some fashion what else anyway well I did say a story no no no I know that I know um so the Father the child said you know are you related she said it's me so I said oh really I said yeah so he says well you moved here or something he said no he says what are you doing he said I just came over the weekend so with his family my mom said from Thursday to Monday or something it's like a Sunday morning he said he said what some minutes on vacation or some simple he said no I came to I came I came my family don't want to give out sandwiches to ill people in the hospital yeah and this guy was like Blown Away no one no one he didn't say this to anyone no one knew he was and the reason why I came here was because of that purpose he wanted to do the guy's a billionaire right I don't think he goes around pushing trolleys around yeah I mean you know we're not we're not there yet you know what it means a big billionaire this guy told me when he did business with him that he would send chauffeur drovement chauffeur-driven cars fancy luxury cars to pick up workers this guy was doing business that's how rich he sent he was taking a luxury cars used to pick up workers like a billionaire multi literally a billionaire and he's going around hospital without pushing around up and down and pushing his heavy trolley around with his family and he because he wanted to do it but the big money was but had he gone anywhere in America he will go publicity because he's he's a he's a well-known guy he's come to shy italic you know he's ready he's a very nice guy so they went in there he said fine you know another one is heavy you know there's so many programs I try to study anyways another guy so he said okay fine you know he's a Jewish he's religious because one day you only give out sandwiches and stuff and snacks you know feel free yeah so this was amazing thing is an example when the guy he's got tons of money so he gives tons of money to the car but he wants to he wants it what I don't know yeah no literally I'm saying I've got no idea exactly that's a joke you know he probably did you know I mean half the high probably later half the hospital not even knows who he is you know and then he came here for that and that was just it was unbelievable this guy was blown away as well so that you know he wants to admit and he wants to do it in the purest form he doesn't want publicity and he knows he goes in America you know oh you know Max Goldberg the billionaire giving out you know sandwiches you know in in in whatever his thing in Hospital in New York so like you know defeats the whole purpose so he flew here just for the weekend in order to to do his family is for that purpose he brought his family over because he wants his family yeah I'm saying anyway so I thought that was a very beautiful story of just an example he was saying you know and it's because that's a rich person who can give lots of money with taka but he even you know like he did nothing for himself and he wants to be able to give to other people in a pure way so he does what he did anyway okay let's carry on mishna gimmel says mishna gimmel we said we read it we mentioned the general context right Antigone antigos foreign serving his master in order to get reward rather you should serve him like avoid him who are doing it they're not doing him no I'm not there is a reward there they know they're gonna get paid but they're not doing that's not their main intentions so they said last time you know the general context of the times with the Greeks Etc amen we said that fine so first we're over here we said we mentioned also I think last week the gears had changed that this is um you should be like you doing it not I mean not just you know you've got your the you know there's reward coming but you're not doing it you know necessarily for the war you know it's there you know whatever and he says you should be doing it like you don't want the reward you don't even want the reward yeah you're doing it just because you want to serve the master now what's the idea behind that so Robin explains it's very important how he explains everything he said what's the principle over here and we're gonna have to finish over here because we went over time as usual I mean whatever I couldn't start he says as follows I just find his words inside because the rashoni were very succinct he says that is he brings you to give yourself and he says like this um the the best avodah that a person can do yeah is when he's doing it he's doing because he doesn't want the reward right now this is the word anyway when the gift is you're doing it because you don't want you're doing it doesn't mean you're doing it with the intention not to get paid what's that supposed to mean he said that means that you you don't know you are doing I don't want to get paid why I want to do this because I want to do this I owe you you owe me you understand and then and it's basically saying that serve Hashem don't do it because he said you understand I sound so great you should do it because you just love Hashem so much like like the you know that the rambam says look in the Bria and you see the goddess of Hashem you become drawn to Accord we mentioned right at the beginning this concept and and uh to remember that Torah you see the Godless in the depth of the toraham and you you draw and also the fact that Hashem is me Hashem doesn't do anything right and there was again he said you should be doing it right and um he says there's a quoting again this isn't she'd bet when he's listing at the 20 principles of the mid the midst of repentance the third principle is which Loosely translated means depression right which is basically regret but he says much more regret is you know oh while I do it you kick yourself it wasn't worth it why they do such a thing yeah God is Mama's like you just I mean you just lost yourself completely like broken how can I do why did I do what I did you know and and he says um we are gone um well can you give an example he says a person could meet heret what he did but he hasn't done enough because he says you know a person has you know and if you're under sheckled in his wallet in his pocketbook so he's like oh you know it was like five second shekels with money you know what I mean he's upset so if a person had you know invested came out all his money in something and just lost the whole thing he's not like ah okay you know two million dollars to my money nothing left right you know and he doesn't he's just he's depressed right he goes oh it's mentioned they say can you do this right so he said that's yeah you can't take it and he said that tag should be why he says will tear me a Nero we should stay here we're losing your money you should be getting so upset and after when you went to college and he and he has to think well I think that's a very what I do I didn't remember his creator who created him oh Yeshua who created you from nothing more and it has said by just creating the first place we are daughter and hashem's hand is leading you throughout your entire life will not say enough he's every second yeah we know your house popping he's giving your heart pumping he's keeping you alive the whole second and then you went and did something against him so that's in the context of but I'm just using the initial note when to understand Robin says over here you should do it I'm doing it but I got paid for I want to get paid for when Hashem this week he brought me into this world he keeps me alive every second he does everything for me and I'm gonna I'm gonna do something because I want to get something back okay anyway we'll have to leave it there and we'll carry on next week
