Transcript
- 0:00Synesthesia. I'm Shin number 64.
- 0:05If you missed yesterday, go back because it's one of those where
- 0:07you've got to sort of follow the flow of thought and a logic
- 0:10here, what must be understood based on what we learned
- 0:14yesterday? The actions should not be judged
- 0:16for stinkiness at first glance, but should be carefully observed
- 0:21and reflected upon. So it may be determined how far
- 0:24their results extend. I'm just going to borrow this
- 0:27concept for a moment and just suggest it as part of a solution
- 0:31that great theological conundrum.
- 0:33Why do bad things happen? To good people.
- 0:36Well, here we have it. You can never really know who is
- 0:40good because all we can do is humanity.
- 0:43Is Judge people's external actions, we can never judge the
- 0:46internal ruminations of their minds and base what we're
- 0:50learning here. You could look very simply on
- 0:53the outside but be far far from it because your thoughts and
- 0:57your actions are really not in sync and therefore part of this
- 1:01vision is, how do you know who is really good?
- 1:04Not suggesting that you Practice settings, your bad person, but
- 1:07the fact that we had to wait up and examine and think about
- 1:11actions and all of them to be of a certain quality, is suggest
- 1:14that you can't just observe an external precept and come to a
- 1:17conclusion for a times. An action in itself, may seem
- 1:22worthy of performance, but because it routes results or
- 1:24evil, one will be judged to leave it and if he does not,
- 1:28you'll be judged as a sinner rather than a seat.
- 1:31And we said that yesterday with regard to gedaliah, he didn't
- 1:34want to hear A lot on her about the guy tried to kill him and
- 1:37therefore we end up dying. And that famous story in the
- 1:42gemara of bow capsule that was responsible for the destruction
- 1:45of the base hamikdash throughout B, thought to sacrifice the
- 1:49animal. But Rob's Iraq, Zachary been
- 1:52over colors. Said to them, they will see that
- 1:54animals with imperfections, may be sacrificed upon the altar.
- 1:57There are both ought to kill him.
- 1:59Borrow kamsa? Right of the carrier said to
- 2:01them. They will say the one who causes
- 2:03an imperfection in a sacrifice and I was worthy of death which
- 2:05is clearly not the case. I'm all these rabbis were having
- 2:09this discussion, the evildoers land of the Jews to the Emperor
- 2:13who came and destroyed your Shoreline.
- 2:15It was to this of you're gonna was referring, when he said
- 2:19under so new, social Robbie, Zakaria his modest his humility,
- 2:23which seems to be like a good quality ended up.
- 2:26He can weave a space, a new and destroying our Temple.
- 2:29The Surfers. Hey, Colleen over her glasses.
- 2:30No Levine, homers and consumed. Our sanctuary and exiled us
- 2:34among the nations are sometimes being To from, as intellectual
- 2:40language trying to be a saint ends up in destruction.
- 2:44We see then that one should not decide upon the sacredness of a
- 2:47deed on the surface appearance. But should view it from every
- 2:50angle that human intelligence can be brought to bear upon it
- 2:53until he can truthfully, determine the better the better
- 2:57course. Meaning I see you.
- 2:59Do you do it over pressure or do you walk away?
- 3:03Editor tells us how character here as I myself, have to rebuke
- 3:07a Person firmly. Very often a person will
- 3:11undertake to rebuke sinners in such a place or such a time.
- 3:15He will cause them to go even further into their wickedness
- 3:18and to add to that other areas by desecrating.
- 3:21The name of Hashem in such cases silence.
- 3:26Only silence is the saintly thing to do.
- 3:30Just as it's a Mitzvah to say, what will be listened to.
- 3:32So it's a Mitzvah not to say, what will not be listened to One
- 3:37should attempt to be in the Forefront in the pursuit of
- 3:39Mitzvahs and to be among those who occupy themselves with them.
- 3:42But sometimes it could lead to quarrels which might result more
- 3:45in shame to the mitzvot than desecration of collage M then
- 3:49any honor to Hashem. And in our case, it is better to
- 3:52leave the mitzvot and not to pursue it.
- 3:56Give you an example. I don't know if this is correct,
- 3:58it's an example. I've experienced people who are
- 4:01very keen to kiss the safe for Tara.
- 4:03When it comes, when it's taken out their own collagen, its
- 4:05Journey to the Bimmer, Go back from the Burma and in that
- 4:08zealousness to kiss it. They push people out the way
- 4:12they shove. People, click, deranged, there's
- 4:15a living breathing Seifert, or a human being with a soul of
- 4:17Hashem. And there's a pivot are written
- 4:21on parchment and they're prepared to push the human being
- 4:24out the way to kiss. The parchment that would meet to
- 4:26be a situation where saintliness is being corrupted.
- 4:36So, how must we keep the Mitzvahs?
- 4:37Well, we'll come back to that next week.
- 4:40Have a very good day.
