Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the JustThe Shepherd’s Heart: Advocacy and the Divine Bond of Love 1.8.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  Now one of the ways of being a haseen overall, that means being
• 0:04
  a Jew that's working on his full self and his dedication.
• 0:09
  A big area is someone who worries about museum in general
• 0:14
  and right, said Sadiqim. Real Sadiqim are conscious about
• 0:19
  Kabochemi and we dealt with that and also called other Jews and
• 0:23
  caring and being with other people.
• 0:24
  We said that a rabbi is supposed to be like an ads, and ads is a
• 0:28
  tree, is a source of nourishment for the people.
• 0:30
  He's also supposed to be a source of merit for the on
• 0:34
  behalf of his community. He's supposed to be advocating
• 0:37
  to Hashem on behalf of his community, supposed to be
• 0:39
  praying for them, praying for his key law.
• 0:41
  That's a job of rabbi. And they're also a source of
• 0:44
  Kabarat. They either take the hit or
• 0:48
  they, you know, try to atone in one way or another for the
• 0:52
  people. That's their job.
• 0:53
  That's the covenant in their service, which is that they're
• 0:56
  for the people and they need to be conscious of that as what he
• 0:59
  says they should be in advocate as we explain now at 4:11 we say
• 1:03
  further, I came because of your words.
• 1:12
  Shiloh Hazar Gabriel in a class of female paragood and look, I
• 1:16
  should admit San and go to Ayo sale Daniel.
• 1:20
  I'm Gabriel de Malach was at one point kicked out of shaman or
• 1:25
  kicked out of certain parts of heaven.
• 1:26
  Gabriel is one of our main angels and he was we we welcomed
• 1:30
  inside because he started to advocate.
• 1:33
  And I'll be head, which tells you one other step, which is not
• 1:36
  only should a rabbi be an advocate of his people, it also
• 1:40
  becomes his ticket to success. It starts as his sacrifice, but
• 1:46
  it ends as his main credit in life.
• 1:50
  He's giving up of his time, he's giving up of his mind, he's
• 1:52
  giving up of his Peace of Mind, all that on behalf of his
• 1:55
  people. He's even taking the hip for his
• 1:57
  people and he's advocating into shamayim for them.
• 1:59
  He's praying for them, and he feels like he's giving himself.
• 2:02
  But at the same time, Hashem only receives that rabbi
• 2:05
  eventually because of him being the lead man of the people.
• 2:10
  It's him giving up and eventually it's him receiving as
• 2:15
  a hoot for what he did for the people right.
• 2:17
  They get on in their marvel. It says about get on left the
• 2:21
  Koh Koh Hazel, the issue in meds.
• 2:24
  And then you go by yourself, go with the strength of yourself
• 2:28
  and go save on Mizell. Why?
• 2:31
  Because he became an advocate. The idea is the more you're an
• 2:33
  advocate of of of the Jewish people, the more you're better
• 2:37
  off. So a leader needs to be an
• 2:38
  advocate. Now he says I'm 412.
• 2:41
  Why did Hashem care so much about a leader being someone who
• 2:45
  is defending, protecting, taking the hit Israel?
• 2:49
  That's because deep down the core of this concept is all
• 2:54
  about the sale is the love of another Jew.
• 2:57
  If you are willing to spend time, your precious time on
• 3:01
  behalf of the community or you are saying deep down you may not
• 3:03
  show it even I think this way or you are a depth saying I love
• 3:08
  that person. I love our people in general and
• 3:10
  as if we want them to succeed. Pulling for another person is
• 3:15
  one of the greatest traits that an individual can have.
• 3:18
  Willing and wishing for another person to have success is
• 3:22
  actually a trait that is much harder to find that you and I
• 3:27
  believe we think it's all over the place.
• 3:29
  It's not it's few and far between really have and that
• 3:32
  trait of pulling for other people.
• 3:34
  And when someone is doing it for the masses, someone is doing it
• 3:37
  on a general bigger scale. What he is indicating is, is
• 3:41
  that he's Avati sail runs deep. He loves the Jewish people.
• 3:46
  He loves his fellow man. And because of that, he's
• 3:49
  working hard for them. He's advocating for them, He's
• 3:52
  giving them more Torah. He's wishing to find ways for
• 3:55
  them to have success. All that as an indication and he
• 3:58
  loves them. Kian Akandos by The Who?
• 4:01
  Oh, here ella lomi, so heavy. This God only loves the person
• 4:08
  who loves the Jewish people, the whole mashadam mahdil ABBA
• 4:13
  totally a sale and the more a person builds in his heart a
• 4:18
  love of his fellow Jews, chemicals Peru mahdil Allah,
• 4:23
  Hashem magnifies his love for us.
• 4:27
  You love God's children, you know how it works.
• 4:30
  God's going to love you. You know, if someone took care
• 4:32
  of your child, he child was looking to get a job and someone
• 4:35
  was nice enough to offer them a job when they had no experience,
• 4:41
  they had no background in that field of work.
• 4:43
  They gave him a shot. They gave him a chance, they
• 4:45
  gave him an opportunity. They even let them make some
• 4:49
  opening mistakes and they kept them on.
• 4:51
  They held them on and they loved them.
• 4:53
  They gave him the time. How much do you love, how much
• 4:56
  do you appreciate that person who gave each other first job to
• 5:00
  get on his feet, or the person who left your child staying in
• 5:04
  school when they weren't doing so well to get it?
• 5:08
  We have endless Akarata tov. I would live our lifetime based
• 5:11
  on that. We have built in the Akarata
• 5:13
  tov. That's how it works.
• 5:15
  Now, a shem in a certain sense has the exact same approach.
• 5:19
  If you take care of God's children, that means you're
• 5:23
  pulling for them, you're hoping for them, You even put some
• 5:26
  effort in for them. You put in some time.
• 5:29
  You sacrifice some money. He may be, you know, I don't
• 5:32
  know what it is. Sacrifice some honor for them.
• 5:35
  I mean, take away from your own self for God's children, you can
• 5:39
  only imagine how much a son loves you, and you can only
• 5:43
  imagine the Ava that's running through over you.
• 5:47
  See, when you have Ava for God's children, the kind of Ava that's
• 5:51
  in return being portrayed by God for you.
• 5:55
  And you know what? It's very good to have God
• 5:58
  loving us. It's one thing to have God
• 5:59
  giving us mercy and giving us patience and giving us
• 6:03
  protection. It's a whole another world when
• 6:06
  you have Hashem loving you. And how do you generate that
• 6:09
  love when you create and motivate and inspire a love from
• 6:14
  Him. And how is it possible for a
• 6:16
  human being to pull out a love of Hashem by doing exactly what
• 6:20
  a human being would do to get a father to love you back?
• 6:22
  Exact same structure. The same way you as a parent
• 6:25
  would love and appreciate the individual who helped you.
• 6:28
  A child, right? Think about three years, the
• 6:32
  people who have been there for your children, right?
• 6:34
  The teacher I know, I still have endless Sakaratov to 1 teacher
• 6:39
  as a third Bay teacher yourself who helped me with my son,
• 6:42
  Endless Sakaratov. But not four years later, 3-4
• 6:45
  years later, I know every time I go to a parent teacher, we see
• 6:48
  that teacher either go over to him or I want to go over to him.
• 6:51
  Mr. Tom, thank you. What do you do?
• 6:53
  1 teacher will put a little more effort in, who pulled a little
• 6:57
  harder? Who gave us a little spark of
• 6:59
  saying there's something there that you know that we're going
• 7:02
  to approach and everybody who needs help somewhere a drive
• 7:04
  room to lie and what we do that for your child can't do it.
• 7:08
  We know that exactly. There's been many people along
• 7:10
  the way who have helped us and therefore many people helped our
• 7:14
  children and we as parents love those people.
• 7:18
  We appreciate those people. And God has the exact snare
• 7:21
  approach. If you're willing to put effort
• 7:23
  into one of his children, two of his children, the overall
• 7:27
  general community, which is a major group of his children, and
• 7:30
  you made a difference in Hashem's children's life.
• 7:34
  How so? You made this certain element to
• 7:36
  the community. You helped us.
• 7:38
  You, you, you are a good role model to one individual.
• 7:40
  Whatever. Maybe you gave a person a job.
• 7:41
  Whatever you did for Hashem, children, you're pulling for
• 7:43
  them. Hashem in turn loves you back.
• 7:46
  And like I said before, there's nothing better to have than to
• 7:50
  have Hashem's love in your life. Because what happens when you
• 7:53
  love a person is you look past the mistakes.
• 7:57
  You give them extra time, you pull for them themselves, you
• 8:01
  try to add gifts to them, even though they may not deserve it,
• 8:03
  because you love them and you appreciate them.
• 8:05
  So we can trigger that out of Hashem and there's nothing
• 8:08
  better for us. That's what he's telling you.
• 8:11
  The Elohim Halloween. These are the shepherds of the
• 8:15
  Jewish people, the army team of our people.
• 8:17
  So you see our Shankar this but who hafits by him had been
• 8:21
  Hashem really wishes for them, wants them.
• 8:24
  She must seem Ozma'am also no, the shepherds of our people, the
• 8:29
  leaders of our people give themselves up for God's sheep
• 8:34
  with the regime and they seek ways in which halim and they put
• 8:37
  an effort al shalomam for the peace and the success of
• 8:41
  Amisahel with Tovatam and the good of Amisabuhora de Rahim.
• 8:45
  They seek many ways to help out our people.
• 8:48
  Vaumdim Tamim appearance and one of the big islands is they stand
• 8:51
  there LED Faleh Allah to pray on behalf of God's people all about
• 8:56
  Thea Gazarat. They ask I shall please, I shall
• 8:59
  remove these decrees on so and so a child can't get married and
• 9:04
  have any challenge here. The sick here, whatever it be
• 9:07
  God please remove with the whole community that is dealing with
• 9:10
  this issue and we try as leaders.
• 9:15
  You all try to pray to create openings for the gates of
• 9:20
  blessing Halem al Zedo me. I'll give you a comparison.
• 9:23
  Like we said before, love Sheno have sum Adam.
• 9:28
  You tell me, show me, show me a minute.
• 9:32
  Someone who provides for my child, true honest love is the
• 9:38
  person I want to give to my. By the way, this means that
• 9:40
  these leaders, we keep repeating one of the main things that
• 9:44
  these leaders is is that they pray on behalf of the community.
• 9:47
  You know what some people they pray, nobody sees, nobody knows.
• 9:52
  You have no idea if Rabbi X prays every day for his cow or
• 9:56
  even prays once a year or he doesn't pray at all.
• 9:59
  You don't know. You're not going to see.
• 10:01
  It's pure emit love that they're displaying for they cow and they
• 10:07
  pray because there's nobody who's watching.
• 10:09
  There's nobody who's noticing. And the same thing is true with
• 10:11
  much dedication that leaders do. Many of the dedication that you
• 10:15
  see leaders do, they noticed. They speak, you can tell, they
• 10:18
  talk to people, you can see. Maybe he was in the state of
• 10:21
  charity publicly, you can tell. But when a leader does something
• 10:25
  and he's private, that's where the love is the strongest.
• 10:29
  When he comes up with a nice comment to say to an individual
• 10:33
  that is done privately, when he comes up with a help in a
• 10:36
  private area, all these things are pure displays of his love
• 10:41
  for that person. And to God, that's love a
• 10:45
  minute. That's real loyal Ava and
• 10:49
  Hashem. I want to give our back.
• 10:51
  That's what He's telling you. And this is all a very natural,
• 10:56
  this cycle of us loving Hashemi's children and therefore
• 11:00
  Hashem loving his back. It's very much a natural cycle,
• 11:05
  like we said with the father and the son, Wu Yan Kwangador
• 11:07
  Shamrou I love. We say about the Kwangador that
• 11:11
  we blame him because he didn't pray enough of her generation.
• 11:16
  We said, what's the classic idea?
• 11:18
  We know and if a person kills accidentally and he goes to I am
• 11:23
  the clot, he has to wait, right? He goes to the city of refuge.
• 11:26
  He has to wait for what change? He has to wait for the
• 11:28
  Kohengadol to die. That's why he said.
• 11:31
  Why is his situation in the iarmic clot in the city of
• 11:35
  refuge connected to the light for the passing of the
• 11:38
  Kohengadol? Which relationship?
• 11:40
  The answer is the Kohengadol is an advocate on behalf of the
• 11:43
  people. That's his job, he serves as an
• 11:47
  advocate on behalf of the people.
• 11:48
  It's just it's a task. And if he didn't pray enough, we
• 11:52
  can see, we can tell by the fact there were accidental deaths.
• 11:57
  What is the connection between the Kohengados Tefila accidental
• 12:00
  deaths? The concept is clear.
• 12:02
  Had the Kohengados prayed enough, the situation would not
• 12:06
  have happened. Which was praying for them?
• 12:08
  No, he was serving. I shall on behalf of them, but
• 12:11
  clearly not enough. We put the direct onus on him.
• 12:15
  When we look at the results, we can work backward.
• 12:17
  You can say this generation had problems.
• 12:19
  Whose fault is it? The rabbi, the cuengado, the the
• 12:22
  prayer? It's a wild concept.
• 12:24
  It's an unbelievably wild concept.
• 12:26
  And rabbis have taken this responsive footage on their
• 12:28
  shoulders and they have certain sense been very tough on
• 12:32
  themselves when they saw problems all in on the people.
• 12:35
  And you can see that they're doing the right thing when
• 12:38
  they're leading their people and they're singing.
• 12:39
  You can't judge fully, but you can tell somewhat it is.
• 12:44
  And they are meant to be the advocate, the leader, the
• 12:47
  representative, the shepherd, the one who cares, the one who
• 12:51
  is the same main source of love for the people.
• 12:55
  That's his job, The hooked lot per SE.
• 13:01
  There was a person who was literally eaten by a lion far
• 13:06
  away from the town of somewhat actually close, but a distance
• 13:09
  away from the town of Ribi Schwaben, Levy Velour Estrella
• 13:13
  Eliaba de Eliano. Stop visiting this rabbi.
• 13:18
  Why not? Because the rabbi had a
• 13:20
  constituent or individual who passed away by a lion, and this
• 13:25
  individual was somewhat nearby the rabbi.
• 13:27
  So what the answer is, it's connected to the railway.
• 13:31
  He should have prayed harder. Somewhat.
• 13:34
  It's clear how the job responsibility placed on the
• 13:42
  shoulders of a leader. The vaqesh to pray, ulhesh Adil
• 13:46
  to put an effort. I'll open the door up.
• 13:49
  This is the job of a leader. Now you realize and you absorb
• 13:54
  just how difficult a task of leadership really is meant to be
• 13:58
  and how real is Tennessee. It's not about the publicity,
• 14:02
  it's not about the stage, it's not about the title, it's not
• 14:05
  about the talk. It's not about how the thing
• 14:07
  what your name is. So one thing, how much are you
• 14:11
  pulling for the people? How much are you there for the
• 14:15
  people? If you're there a lot, Mavrooks,
• 14:18
  if you're not dropping, that's it.
• 14:20
  That's your job. And we'll see in the upcoming
• 14:23
  product Showtime. We should have been our first
• 14:25
  leader of the arm. How much he was strong and how
• 14:31
  much he was perfect. Actually in this area
• 14:34
  specifically, this is his area. He was considered a shepherd.
• 14:38
  He was considered an advocate, as we know, even for Hashem
• 14:41
  Caballo, I mean FL people, he was considered a person who is
• 14:45
  sensitive. All these things are Ava, Ava
• 14:49
  Ava pulling for your people. And the truth is, it doesn't
• 14:53
  need to be just a leader. Why can't a regular member of a
• 14:58
  kahala pray for the kahala as well or not?
• 15:01
  Why can't a member of a family of grandfather, a father, pray
• 15:06
  for his children and grandchildren just the same?
• 15:08
  Of course he can. And then he's running as Ava
• 15:11
  deeper. He doesn't even need motivation
• 15:13
  when he's a grandfather and a father.
• 15:14
  There's a combination of natural love and Hashem love over there.
• 15:18
  You love your children and your children and you care for them
• 15:20
  so much. So we should adapt this Medava
• 15:23
  Hasid to pull on behalf of our family.
• 15:27
  They will stop. That was a challenge with the 0.
• 15:31
  How was the challenge and all? He's up 1%.
