Trump vs Elon - Who's To Blame?

I venture to say that we were not taken completely by surprise when Elon Musk and Donald Trump started going head-to-head at each other's throats, even though they worked oh so well together during the campaign. Of course, one needing his money and one needing his power. working together as a business partnership. Suddenly, these two great powers ended up going head-to-head with each other, completely destroying, ridiculing, and admonishing one another to the lowest that a person can probably reach two very large babies. Basically, that's I think what we're for we're familiar with and we're not surprised so much as I could say to see it. It was just probably a matter of time. But let me tell you something that uh directly connects what we can learn from these ideas and that already starts from our para and that's the para of sot everybody is familiar with rashi bring from kazal and that is that a nazir should make himself a nuzer when he sees a bea when he sees going through what she's going through the beta mikdash after being a weward woman that he should go ahead and make himself into a nuzzer and everybody asked the obvious question on the contrary when you see her blow up that's a reason not to have to do anything you know it's obvious that that everything's okay. But I one time heard a beautiful chhat in the s which connects to answer this and that is the problem with seeing the s and everything she went through is to see someone who went through crazy amount an incredible amount of tilt tulim. They move her back and forth in the in the beta mdish. They move her over here and over there. They expose her here. They completely demonish her. They make her look foolish. They make her feel completely downrodd. And they even ripped to a certain extent some of her clothing. Like I said, if you look in the garbage over there in Sot, they move her in one place, they move her to another seat. Eventually, they give her the water and she blows into smitherreens. After all that happens, she still doesn't admit guilt. Even though she went through it, she's not willing to give it up. She's not willing to say, "I did wrong. I made a mistake." She's not willing to make that. A nazer who's a person who sees that should turn himself into a nuzzer because the idea behind the nuzer is at one time when I was doing a term paper in 11th grade I went to alcoholics anonymous and the whole entire episode over there was about one thing it was about admitting guilt admitting that I'm an alcoholic once you do that the rest of the road is coast is clear I've heard this from many psychologists the hardest part is to actually go ahead and admit that I'm doing something wrong get yourself sober get off the bottle and start saying, "Yes, I've got an issue and now I'm going to work on it." The rest is coast is clear. You don't need very much after that to be able to take care of it. When you're willing to admit guilt, then everything is open. The whole entire the whole entire road is open to you. And that's he is sort of an alcoholic. And that's what the Nazar does. He goes ahead and he's punished himself. Gives himself a little bit of a head, a leeway, gets himself clean. And by doing that, he's able to admit guilt. The zora writes an incredible thing. He says the nazer is a kapara. You know what? Forish for the sin of as we all know one of the opinions in the shabbat is that ate from grapes. He had from wine from grapes and by doing that he was over the biggest of error that ever existed in mankind and the comes from kapar. What does that mean? The answer is as theo writes over there the sin of was much more than the fact that he ate from the grapes. is that when said where are you find yourself who are you know what he said he said the woman that you gave me she's the one who gave me from that he will not admit guilt he won't sh he won't take the blame always shifting the blame on someone else it's not my fault and if you pay attention to the words he made two blame he blamed two people two things a he blamed his wife I think we might be familiar with that phenomenon. He put it in our DNA to do the same thing. But even more than that, the wife that you gave me to say such a thing blamed. He said you gave it to me. It's not my fault. I was here alone. I was doing hunky dory. I was fine. I don't even want to say the words, but it's your game. It's because of you. Has anybody ever blamed Hashem for whatever they did or for their situation that they're in and saying there must be instead of maybe shifting the blame onto myself? That is the epitome of what this idea of drinking is about. That's why the nazir is a kapara for the wine for the grapes that was eaten by Adamishan. And this is the real kapar that have to do. And you know what Adamishan did as part of a kapar for this sin? He gave 70 years of his life to David so he should be able to live. Why did he give 70 years a beautiful I once heard and that is because the epitome of the antithesis of was David when he gave him over the head and he gave him and let's not forget David is a king he's a personal he's the one that we all look up to and what did he say immediately he said he sinned he didn't say it wasn't my fault I couldn't help it she was there it was the wrong place wrong time there were reasons and it was all permitted the says everything he did was permitted it wasn't even a what he did I made a mistake what do I do not tell me my chuba mr the man of tilim because he is the man who's the seml of chuba because he know how to make the mistake this is the difference between us and them listen to a couple of other kings that we might be familiar with one of the kings are familiar with is made to kill all the Jews based on hmon and in the end of the day he got stuck you know he got stuck because there was a when even though he loved Esther he wanted to do whatever she said there was a takana that I'm not allowed to reneg my zer I can't reneg my decree so he can only go ahead and let her go ahead and cause a world war instead but I'm not allowed to reneg my decree similarly we find darovish in love denil he loved denil and he still threw him in a lion cage how could he throw him in a lion cage I thought you liked him because he made it agree based on some other people that were thinking on him that he has to go ahead and throw him in a lion cage and he had karate he felt bad about it but the rule is a king cannot reneg his decree. You know why? You know why? Because a goata king believes I'm God. Because a goa king says I never make mistakes. There's no need to know there's no idea of ever reneging what I say because whatever I say is true. There's nothing that I ever can make a mistake. I'm not willing to retract what I said. Maybe Donald Trump made a mistake. Maybe Elon Musk made a mistake. But I will never retract what I said. Everything I said is true. Everything I said is right. You're false. You're phony. as long as you are evil to me, you are making a mistake. I'm the boss. And that's exactly what this incredible decree during that Persian Empire that it's beyond my to be able to say I made wrong. I did something wrong and of we have a Malik, the king of Israel, the man of man's the fourth leg in the and he says immediately, it was my fault. I made a mistake. I'm sorry. What should I do? What's my chor process to heal him? 150 anything you want. I'm willing to go sorrow. I'm willing to throw the hat off. Just tell me what I'm doing wrong. And to make us realize this idea that yes, it was put in our DNA from this idea of shifting blame, of putting the blame on others, especially usually our spouse, especially our children, especially our neighbors, especially the rabbi, especially the shul, especially everybody else around me. and and and as long as I'm not willing to go ahead and on that we go ahead many times and when we say the only real way of saying vid is a shamu I made a mistake it's my fault I made a mistake it's my fault to go ahead and admit guilt admit guilt that's what we are all about and that's what we learn from the don't be aila don't be the one who makes a mistake I have a child who every time they go to sleep late and get up late go to sleep late every night you go through the whole episode ah you know ah blah blah blah and you would think that the reason why is because that child is lazy. The answer is not and I I have to be honest. I've told them this directly. It's not because you're lazy. The answer is they always have an excuse. Always. Oh, my time. I missed the time. I didn't realize. Oh, I woke up. I thought today was Shabbat. I didn't realize. Oh, you understand? Yesterday I was up because I had to go somewhere or this and that. Every time there's another excuse. As long as you have excuses, you're going to keep waking up late because you don't feel guilty and you think there's nothing wrong. The second you realize there's something wrong, everything works out. And that's the idea of saying we have to learn our lessons from when we see the goim acting in such a funny and humorous and comical way, especially when you're such powerful people. What we can do to make a change in ourselves. Shabbat shalom.
