Home Base - R’ Yaakov Asher Sinclair

[Music] In baseball, there are home run hitters and there are singles hitters. The home run hitter swings for the fences. When he connects, he scores big time and he gets all the fanfare. On the other hand, he tends to strike out quite a lot and has a relative low batting average. The singles hitter, on the other hand, flies under the radar, so to speak. He tries merely to put the bat on the ball, and he's satisfied even with a walk, but his batting average is generally much higher than that of the home run hitters. When it comes to Inyan Kadusha, the Atahora is a singles hitter. He knows he can't get you to do a serious aa. Aside from the practical considerations, a big a vera triggers red lights and alarm bells that shake and wake us. So instead, he plays the game, the battle of Kadusha versus Tuma differently. The ator goes for the singles for the easy a vera of Histaclus that has always been very available and even more so today. If he swings for the homer, he'll strike out. But by going only for the singles, his stucklas, his rate of success is sadly much higher. And those aoras add up. A series of singles can be as devastating as a home run. But the converse is also true. Every time you resist that urge to look, you're building up single runs that will ultimately outpoint the Atahara and get you back to home base. [Music]
