Mizrachi Inspiration 3 · Rabbi Benjy's Shiur

• 0:01
  Mizrahi inspiration Sheer #3. There are some who have a basic
• 0:07
  knowledge of the history of the Mizrahi movements and have
• 0:10
  issues with the fact that the early rabbis in the movement
• 0:13
  works proactively alongside secular Zionists or Jews who are
• 0:18
  anti religious in order to further further the plan to
• 0:21
  bring about a state of Israel. And it's possible to claim,
• 0:25
  based on what we've learned this week that this.
• 0:28
  And Bridle love. This all-encompassing love for
• 0:30
  every Jew could mean that we would demonstrate love and
• 0:34
  positivity towards those who reject the Torah and reject the
• 0:38
  way of life that Religious Zionism puts forward.
• 0:40
  And some have questioned the appropriateness of what we've
• 0:44
  been learning. Let me share with you a further
• 0:47
  development in the thought of Rough Cook that will hopefully
• 0:49
  balance out what we've covered over the last few days.
• 0:53
  Start with the quote on amazing text, The Masilapshi Sharim.
• 0:58
  From the Ramkha Ramosha Haimlot Sato, he writes in chapter 19,
• 1:03
  talking about the true leads of the Jewish people who find merit
• 1:07
  in every Jew. And the quote is as follows.
• 1:11
  These are the true shepherds of Israel, whom the Holy One,
• 1:14
  blessed be he greatly desires, who sacrifice themselves for his
• 1:17
  sheep, who petition and actively work for their peace and
• 1:22
  well-being in all of their endeavors, and who forever stand
• 1:25
  in the breach to pray for them. To nullify stern decrees and to
• 1:29
  open the gates of blessings for everybody, the great love we
• 1:34
  feel, says Rough Cook for our nation doesn't shut our eyes to
• 1:38
  its blemishes. Even though loving mankind
• 1:41
  encompasses everyone, and sometimes an evil person will
• 1:43
  fall into that category of love. This doesn't mean that we are
• 1:47
  less sensitive or angered, frustrated, upset by things that
• 1:52
  are clearly, objectively wrong. The opposite.
• 1:56
  It strengthens that rejection of wrongness.
• 1:59
  Why? What do we love about a person?
• 2:03
  We love about a person. The aspect of them that's good.
• 2:06
  You can love every Jew when you can focus on an aspect of their
• 2:10
  being that is good, And you can reject all that is bad about
• 2:15
  that person. You can reject the bad that they
• 2:17
  represent. For Ahava says, love says that
• 2:22
  goodness exists in every. Place the love that Rob Cooke
• 2:28
  showed for everybody didn't stem that he was a softy, that he was
• 2:32
  lenient and didn't really care, or he had a wishy washy Judaism.
• 2:36
  God forbid anyone should ever think that.
• 2:39
  Or from an inability to confront the truth.
• 2:42
  On the contrary, I've actually so the love for every Jew is the
• 2:45
  most penetrating insight into truth that there is.
• 2:50
  The Havachi, Sir Alfidrav Cook and the work of Stressing the
• 2:53
  Good in the Cloud, in the community and in the individual
• 2:56
  isn't simply work on the emotional level, but a great
• 3:00
  occupation of Tara and a profound expansion of wisdom.
• 3:03
  Because you've got to really open one, open your mind to
• 3:07
  recognize the qualities of every single person.
• 3:10
  It's more than an emotion. So decree of Hashem.
• 3:13
  Love your neighbor as yourself. We must observe the commandment
• 3:17
  to love Hashem. But I have to add her, Shameloka
• 3:19
  her, that I have toler her. Come on.
• 3:22
  If the love has shame and love people, and we have to do this
• 3:26
  in the same way that we keep every other aspect of the code
• 3:29
  of Jewish law, we have three other cook history of cook
• 3:34
  sunset as follows. This ahava has to be especially
• 3:38
  pure in our time when we're all coming back to our land.
• 3:43
  The strengthening of love depends on us through our
• 3:46
  diligence and Torah study. Which is the source of true love
• 3:49
  that our teaches us how to love the Jewish people, is bonded
• 3:55
  together by an indivisible Kudu Shah, holiness or Oneness, which
• 3:59
  comes from Hashem. This understanding leads to a
• 4:02
  love of all of the nation and to peace among all individuals,
• 4:05
  communities and groups. And it's that love that Hashem
• 4:10
  will eventually bring us all back home.
• 4:12
  Well please go off in is that thought next time for now my
• 4:15
  friends have a very lovely haha, got the word there.
• 4:18
  Nice the pun. Have a very lovely day.
