Who else doesn't have a share in the
world to come? Those who cause many to
sin, which includes those who cause them
to commit a severe sin like Yoav and
Zadok and Baitus.
And also those who cause them to commit
a slight sin.
Even the nullification of a positive
mitzvah, it includes both those who
force others to sin like Manasseh, who
would kill Jews if they didn't worship
idols, and those who entice others and
lead them astray like an immodest woman
that walks around enticing men to look
at her. This is considered, my beloved
ones,
a very big problem. Why?
If you are a woman walk around immodest,
[music] you're causing people to sin.
And unfortunately, your beauty is your
venom for yourself and for your victims.
[music] And a person that does not pay
attention to these things can literally
lose their world to come and go to a
place where they can't get themselves
out of. Now, you think that this is an
exaggeration, we just read the Rambam.
But if that's not enough for you, we can
also look at other places. Rabbeinu
Yonah in Iggeret Teshuva, [music]
page 68,
section 78. Woman must be modest,
Rabbeinu Yonah says 800 years ago.
She must be modest and make sure that
she does not attract people to look at
her. If she's modest and people look at
her anyway, that's not her problem. But
Hashem takes care of everybody. If
you're modest, Hashem's going to make
sure people don't look at you
>> [music]
>> in an inappropriate way. And women that
have changed their life tell me this all
the time. I don't know what happened,
but every Jew used to look at me now.
I think I I look prettier, more modest,
more classy, but people have respect for
me. People have respect for me. I don't
know what happened. So, that's kedusha.
Kedusha is following you. Don't worry.
Rabbeinu Yonah says a woman that's not
modest causes men to look at her, men
that are not her husband. Whether
they're looking at her face or they're
looking at her hands, and needless to
say at other parts, Rabbeinu Yonah says.
He's not talking about a woman that's
has no arms and no legs, as the Gemara
says. No arms and no legs means she has
no covering of her arms and she has no
covering of her legs. The Gemara says,
"Woman with no arms and no legs, not
allowed to look at her." So, the Gemara
says, "What do you mean? She has no arms
and no legs, why would you even look at
her?" No, no arms and no legs means
she's not covering her arms, she's not
covering her legs. Means she's immodest
like a prostitute, it's a preetzut.
Okay, no look, okay, fine.
Rabbeinu Yonah doesn't even go into
that. He says even if she gets people
[music] to look at her face
or her hands, meaning [music] small
things. Everyone that's going to look at
her is going to go down to gehennom, and
she will go down to gehennom for each
[music] and every single person that she
brought down to gehennom.
Because she's the one that caused them
to sin, because she did not act with
modesty. And they fell because of her.
What does it mean fell? They ended up
wasting seed.
