Value of Caring for Others - Rabbi Jesse Horn

there's a beautiful piece both in the mistletoe and the laboratory they come up with the same so they want to explain a difficult rashi rashi writes that yaakov kept 613 mitzvahs in base 11 the passage says in love angarti and rashi points out the second opinion on that says in love and harassing myself i learned i observed i kept all the mitzvahs of the torah in lovren's house and the mufarshim wanted to know how is that possible that rasheed can make such a claim for yaakov how could yaakov say that how could rashi explain that's what yaakov means we know he married two sisters and that's a violation of aposic in the turrets and it's similar rising now let him marry two sisters so how can you argue you kept auteur in love and house the one thing we know is that you didn't many suggestions are offered to this question but perhaps the most beautiful and inspiring one is offered by the emmis leaker of jacob kaminetsky and the lava tribe [Music] they both say of unbelievably so it's based upon the fact that the ovos kept the torah before harcinia only as a stringency they did it in other words they weren't really obligated no one's obligated to keep the message until harsinai beforehand it was just optional it wasn't obligatory it wasn't mandatory they chose to they did it as a humra and here comes the asud we never take on homuras that damage hurt or undermine other people could you imagine if yaakov went to rahul and said you know rakha i'm sorry i'm ahmed to keep the torah i can't marry you it would have crushed her she'd be devastated the torah values homeless because it shows a sense of excitement and passion his slivers and dedication but far far far more important than bonus extra homers is the most basic central idea which is love people care about people have sensitivity for people care about their feelings i remember there was a particular event that once occurred the details aren't so critical and one person insulted another person and a big hush of rav walked over to the insulted person and said if only there would be like a little bonus homura in the mission of brew that says you should be makbud the fact that it's every other passage and all the ideas of torah are just spelled out or every other passage can torah it's the the backbone of all the ideas of torture is supposed to love people and can't be sensitive if only it would have been like a hormone on the side he said it somewhat facetiously and sarcastically to make this insulted person feel better but the message is clear it's more important to be nice to people and caring and sensitive that's the powerfulness [Music] of all rooted are all based on this and therefore humors are certainly important yaakov teaches us that you care about people you love people you treat them respectfully and well because that is the ultimate ultimate [Music]
