Rabbi Moshe Haber Perashat Mishpatim:Divine Justice: The Spiritual Logic of Mishpatim 2.12.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

0:01
So we delve in shamish back, which really is entire prasha of
0:09
financial. So that means you have a lot of
0:11
different examples, many examples of rules in different
0:16
cases like what's the law of a Jewish slave which lower a non
0:19
Jewish slave? What's the law when you hit
0:21
someone? What's the law when someone is
0:22
their parent? It's a million different laws
0:27
and the so to delve into the laws, the truth is technique
0:31
speaking is a little bit of a joke because each one of these
0:33
laws has, you know, it could be a chapter and a Gemara on the
0:38
details of the laws. If you're not going to get all
0:41
the laws and all the depth of the hollow Hut, the idea is
0:44
going to be try to pull out the themes from these different
0:47
hollow Hut. But the key thing to get to the
0:50
themes is the opening of the Pravasha, the ELA Amishpati.
0:54
And these are the laws He started with the and, and these
0:59
are the laws I should have similar from him, which we
1:01
should place you, Moshebeno, should place in front of the
1:05
Jewish people. And we're going to go to the
1:08
law. So the first person is extremely
1:11
heavily analyzed #1 the word veil.
1:15
And these are the laws What's and it's continuation continuing
1:20
from last week. Last week I said the blood 10
1:24
commandments. And we had three laws in between
1:26
which I dealt with and then you go on to and these are the laws,
1:29
which means they are Amish, Fatim.
1:33
And now I'll come to our shot. We're going to do it now are
1:36
connected somehow to the set of the bills.
1:40
They're linked together. But she tells y'all tell what
1:43
the link is. What's the linkage?
1:45
The same way. Thank you.
1:48
The same way. Those I said it abroad were
1:53
Bahar Sinai. So to the Mushrat team are from
1:57
Harassini. That means to tell you that the
2:01
vote came from Hashem. That's what it means to tell
2:03
her. So that's the explanation for
2:05
the vibe we're connecting the 10 commandments over to the
2:08
financial rules that we're going to deal with and the fact that
2:10
they both are by Harassini, you mean to tell me they both came
2:13
from Hashem. So the question on top of that
2:15
is you want to tell me they came from Hashem, tell me they came
2:18
from Hashem. First of all, I know that
2:19
they're in the book, and second of all, why are you saying that
2:24
in a manner of saying they both came from Harshuna?
2:27
Just tell me they came from Harshun.
2:28
Why are you mentioning the matter?
2:29
OK, has a detail with you. So for now, for starters, our
2:33
Mishmatin, I'll connect it to the 10 commandments at the
2:37
Harshuna point. Number one point #2 is that same
2:42
as she says? By the way, the home of the
2:45
Mishmatin is the sign of theme, the court, the main court.
2:49
Where is that main course situated?
2:51
Where is the main center of the main bedding in the world?
2:55
Right next to them is Baek, right next to the Beta Midas.
2:58
So the mishpatim, the Deneem, have to be next to the laws of
3:05
the last expression at the end. And where the law of them is
3:07
Baek. We're telling you a second
3:08
connection. First of all, our Mishpatim are
3:11
back to 10 commandments. They're both from Sinai.
3:14
Second of all, the placement of our courthouse, the main one has
3:19
to be near the Miss Bayer. To that too begs the question,
3:23
why? Why do I need the home of the
3:26
courthouse next to the place of the service of Hashem?
3:29
The completely different functions, totally different
3:32
ideas. What's the connection?
3:34
Why do they need to be connected?
3:35
OK, so let's answer because we have a million questions, but
3:39
let's answer step by step. The overall theme will be, as an
3:44
alumnist by theme of financial laws, and by nature, financial
3:49
laws seem to be very mundane. They seem to be very basic.
3:52
Every country, every society has their laws.
3:55
And the Torah is trying to break away from that concept
3:58
immediately by telling you, we're going to give you a mesh
4:01
batim, we're going to give you our laws meant and then laws
4:04
that you need to realize. And not that some it's not just
4:07
another society with new laws, it's much deeper than that.
4:11
They have a certain level of significance.
4:14
How do I point that out? By telling you the same way of
4:17
10 commandments were given by Harassini, so do the Mishpati
4:21
and also telling you the same way there's a Miss Bayak
4:24
survivorship. You put the courthouse next in
4:27
Azbeak, you're serving that shop.
4:29
But still, why is Sinai? What's your point of Sinai?
4:33
So what made Harassini special? Every child learns in school.
4:37
What made Harassini special is, is that it was the smallest
4:40
possible mountain in the world. It was borderline the mountain.
4:43
It was a global hill. And we're trying to tell you
4:47
again, we're getting to that point, we're trying to tell you
4:49
that the Mischpat team were given on that humble mountain
4:55
the same way the 10 commandments were given on the Helm Mountain
4:58
Ultimate point. The same way you understand when
5:01
you hear the 10 commandments, they need to be humble.
5:04
You can understand that. You can imagine that the matter
5:06
of Hashem, when you get to the Mischpat team without financial
5:09
laws, you need to adopt great humility.
5:13
Now, next step, why does it matter if I'm an arrogant guy or
5:19
a humble person when it comes to learning the mishratin or it
5:22
shouldn't make a difference. I'm learning about financial
5:24
laws. So the next step is this, it's
5:28
not my laws, it's not your laws, it's God laws.
5:32
The idea we're trying to tell you with this opening tower,
5:35
Misha Mishratin, is that by connecting to the world the same
5:39
way that commandments of our Sinai humble mountain, so do
5:42
these mushratin by us in the humble mountain.
5:44
We're trying to tell you that the key before you get involved
5:49
in our financial laws are man to man laws.
5:53
It's not up to us, it's not up to our mind.
5:57
They are completely and totally in the hands of Hashem and they
5:59
came from Hashem's mind. We need to see it that way.
6:02
Why? Because we're about to see these
6:04
laws and they make a lot of sense.
6:05
Some of them, some of them don't make sense to our mind, and
6:08
we're trying to make them fit with our thought process.
6:12
And the opening point is it's not up to our mind.
6:15
It's God's laws. That's what we say.
6:16
The same way the thank you amendments to Barras United, we
6:18
know the thank amendments are special and powerful and godly.
6:21
So do the financial laws also by the same humble mountain because
6:25
you need to be the same humble when it comes to these Mishra
6:29
team as it is and it comes to thanking members.
6:37
What about the Miss Bayer connection?
6:40
Miss Bayer connection, Why do I care at the courthouse.
6:43
Imagine you went to the Israel, you go to Shalayam, you go to
6:50
visit the Betham and Josh and right near there there's a son
6:54
of Dean. The courthouse, the main
6:55
courthouse of the big cases are being held.
6:57
Why is that significant when you serve Hashem next to it is
7:00
courthouse. So the theme is exact same
7:02
concept. The same way to Mizbaya has
7:05
clearly a place of service of Hashem.
7:08
So to delving into man and man laws the right way is equally
7:14
significant service of Hashem, just like the mizbaya.
7:17
I can imagine going to an altar, serving an animal, serving
7:20
guard. I wouldn't think dealing with
7:22
how much I pay when I steal something is serving Hashem.
7:25
But getting that right is the exact same degree of service of
7:28
Hashem as as serving a court ban.
7:31
That's where you place that courthouse right next door.
7:34
Those are the two things to open up VLA and these are the
7:38
mishpotting. I think we did some of this last
7:40
year, but I will dive into 100 level.
7:43
Here's the next step. Next Rashi says I shared Tara
7:47
seen lifting him. You need to place these
7:50
mishpatim, these laws of man to me in front of the Jewish
7:55
people. Moshe says Rashi.
7:57
That means don't think Amar like others by the hold of Moshe,
8:02
Lord Talia Dataka Lamar don't have in your mind a Schnee.
8:07
I'll teach them the halacha 1 twice or three times and I'll go
8:11
on. I'm not going to make it
8:13
difficult. I'm not going to put too much
8:14
work in so the people understand Tamim.
8:19
It's what the reasons behind him.
8:20
It's what Hashem says. Don't do that.
8:22
Don't stop there. The car man, marshetta scene,
8:26
lift man. That's what I told you.
8:28
Place it in front of them. That means make it like a set
8:31
table. Give them the laws.
8:33
Give the Jewish people the laws of finances and man to man.
8:37
Kishu Khan Aru a set table clear as they easy to eat and easy to
8:43
consume. All the hallowed Don't say
8:46
you're not going to teach us the reasons behind the laws.
8:48
Teach us the Tamil mitzvah, the reason behind the laws.
8:52
Get into the details. Make sure I'm yourself knows
8:54
well all the intricacies and the reasons you're hiding the
9:00
financial rules. That's the opening press too.
9:02
So it's significant. It's like 10 commandments and
9:06
make sure it's clear to our Misell.
9:08
Here's the problem. Are we allowed?
9:11
Are we supposed to delve into the reasons behind the thoughts?
9:15
Because if I tell you, you should wait to fill in
9:18
everything. OK, I'm just trying to wait to
9:19
fill in. Are you going into the behind
9:22
the scenes as the why? What are we to fill in with
9:26
significance of the box? What significance of their
9:29
straps do you dump into? Are you supposed to dump into
9:31
that? No.
9:33
There's one opinion that Gamal I said yes in the name.
9:37
I believe that we should one, but we all know we do not delve
9:41
into the reasons behind him, his foot.
9:44
Why not? Because there's a fear if you
9:47
get involved in the reason, what's going to happen?
9:50
They say, I know why God wants me to keep Shabbat, because he
9:53
wants me to have more of a connection to him.
9:56
I think he'd like me to have more of a connection to him.
9:59
And by doing that mitzvah so the person Shalom would say Shabbat
10:04
this time because God would think I'm going to get the
10:06
outcome better through my own track.
10:09
Because once we get involved in the reasons, but then I start
10:12
playing around, it's like if you know the how to make technology,
10:14
you're going to make different things.
10:16
So I'll make up my own stronger connection to God on my own
10:19
stronger mitzvah once I get involved in the reasons.
10:22
That's why you don't delve into the reasons.
10:23
They're way beyond us. Yeah, right.
10:26
She over here says that when it comes to man to man was more
10:30
sure Evangel was told. Make it as clear as they and
10:33
tell them to Tommy, tell them the reasons.
10:36
Is it a yes or no? This is my question.
10:40
Either question answer. I believe it's very significant.
10:45
And the answer is this. We should not doubt unto our own
10:50
understanding of why something is the way it is.
10:54
But if God gives us a certain law and he makes it clear that
10:59
there's a reasoning behind that law, you can tell from the
11:01
halacha itself. I'll give you an example.
11:04
The law is if you steal in hiding, you pay double.
11:10
If you steal in broad daylight, you pay once.
11:15
That's all of that. A person who steals in hiding,
11:18
he pays double. He steals in broad daylight, he
11:22
pays only one penalty. Principal penalty, no double.
11:26
Why in the world? What's the difference?
11:29
The difference is the guy who steals in hiding is scared of
11:34
people. He's a Jew and he's afraid of
11:36
people. That's why he's doing it in dark
11:38
of night. Who is he not afraid of?
11:41
A shin. Whereas the guy who steals in
11:43
broad daylight, he's not afraid of anyone so bad as he is.
11:47
He doesn't have a messed up approach, he has just a total
11:49
wrong approach. Whereas the one who steals at
11:51
night, he has a messed up approach and therefore we throw
11:55
the book at him. Or he's the worst thief.
11:58
What do you mean? Like he's a cheaper guy, harder
12:00
as thief. That's you too.
12:02
He's he doesn't have the great tools.
12:03
That's true. But this is the reason that we
12:05
have beyond Allah. That's an example.
12:07
You're right, that's an example. So the idea is this, can I
12:10
create my own reasons? No.
12:12
Can I try to delve into the Tamiya mitzvah?
12:14
No. But if Hashem delivers to me the
12:17
reason, I take it and I absorb it.
12:20
And this, I believe is the explanation going to the next
12:23
step. But that's only US and God.
12:27
Oh. We don't dive into the reason.
12:30
Only us and Dal, we don't dive into the reason men to men.
12:33
We dive into the reason. If the law plays it out.
12:35
Who wrote those laws that you used that you just wrote?
12:38
This is a pasuka al Pasha. The details, the why is where
12:42
she brings it, but it's understood from the law.
12:44
It's pasuna al Pasha. Kazlan pays, I believe it says
12:48
pays Principal Kanal and I don't feel like though, like the laws
12:51
of Kashu the same idea. No laws of Kashu you don't dive
12:54
into you don't you don't dive into personal things like the
12:56
laws of Kashu. You won't fail those.
12:58
You don't dive into laws of prey.
13:00
You don't dive into laws of learning to die.
13:02
You don't dive into the reason you don't dive into those, but
13:05
the ones where Hashem kind of gave us the picture this you pay
13:08
this, this you pay that we dive into well, more soon now.
13:13
Why is it the concept? Because the key theme is we're
13:17
learning mishpat team mish fatim of financial laws.
13:21
We said it from the start, a person is tend to believe that
13:24
they're just society. Laws are getting society.
13:26
It's what I is telling us and not that way.
13:28
What they are is God's approach to how a person should act.
13:33
That's what we delve into it. So we could pull out how we
13:36
should act. If I put out one more point,
13:37
then you go to your point. So we have like this, for
13:39
example, we said, Nah, save an Ishma.
13:43
Nah, save an Ishma, right? Which means I will do and then I
13:48
will listen. The beauty of those two words we
13:51
delve into last week. But the beauty of those two
13:53
words is not the two words itself.
13:55
The beauty is the order. The camel says we got great
13:59
merit for those two words, but specifically because we said
14:04
I'll do before we said we'll listen.
14:08
Which means we jumped in before we knew the facts.
14:12
That's a simple meaning of the beauty.
14:14
Here's another level of beauty, because we said we'll do before,
14:19
we said tell me the laws. So we first accepted that God is
14:23
God. I do means Kabbalah.
14:26
I accept Hashem is Hashem. I accepted Hashem.
14:29
Hashem now telling me the laws. So now when you're telling me
14:32
the laws, he's telling me how Hashem looks.
14:33
You're not just telling me society laws, you're telling me
14:36
how God says a thief should pay and God says the damage should
14:40
pay and God feels as you treat another person be getting that
14:44
only in that exact development only because you said NASAIF
14:48
first you'll meet Kabel first and then you said yeshmah, let
14:52
me hear the laws. So they came to you as Mishpati
14:55
Hashem. So the beauty of the Allah
14:57
Mishpatim and these are the mishpatim is because these are
15:01
the laws of God. They were given to us by the
15:04
humble mountain of Cenite, just like the 10 commandments, with
15:07
the same beauty. And they came after that
15:10
Kabbalah, because once we accept Hashem is Hashem, how the
15:14
mitzvah team are divided Hashem, they're God's way of life, and
15:17
we're going to learn from them how to act.
15:20
There's one more step. We get to Council.
15:22
No, so there's no are there Rabbinic my interpretations
15:28
right, but on on the laws between you and Hashem, they add
15:32
extra steps to it plus, but then and in some ways that is
15:36
providing some interpretation. To the be, you're right, you're
15:39
right. For example, the laws of Mukhsay
15:42
and certain laws like that, the rabbi has added extra fences
15:46
actually, because they don't why they do that.
15:47
They weren't giving you more reasons and they didn't know the
15:50
reason. They were just fearful in those
15:53
scenarios and it might if otherwise you may be more prone.
15:58
I'm thinking about that sin. So rabbis expanded the zone.
16:01
They didn't expand. They would never say, oh, you
16:04
should wait if you lean because of your connection to God in
16:06
your head. So because that put something
16:08
else on your head. They would never do that because
16:10
that is jumping into the reason and trying to extrapolate based
16:14
on the reason. They would say, however, let's
16:17
create a fence that's a big and that makes sense.
16:20
Let's create a guard wheel so you don't get close with the
16:22
Hashem percent. The problem is, is there they're
16:25
getting chalked those chalked up to being actual sins when there
16:28
may not really be. Sins.
16:30
No Sir, they wouldn't. Dirabenans are not actual sins.
16:33
The only reason why dirabenans are actual sins is because you
16:36
haven't mitzvahed to listen to the rabbit.
16:38
That's why. Otherwise blank it will blank it
16:40
1 otherwise case by case Mukser is not an actual sin instead of
16:44
a non certain cultural laws right that's all that have been
16:47
done. We have on top of that in law,
16:49
we have to listen to the rabbis and that's why we're much more
16:53
leading by the Rabbenans and that overall law, overall law of
16:57
listening to the rabbis, that too we all delve into the
17:00
reason. It's what God said, we follow.
17:03
So this opens up Mishpati, all right, as another example of the
17:07
development by knowing that these are the Mishpati Hashem.
17:11
It's like this. The 10 commandments came with a
17:16
lot of shock and awe right there was thundering and lightning and
17:21
booming and the sound was across the world.
17:24
It was a lot of sound. The world ever had a lot of
17:27
shock and awe. In fact, the Jews people as he
17:29
passed out were terrified by those 10 commandments.
17:33
And then we have after that ET lah Mishmati, the ET lah
17:37
Mishmati and these are all what's the relationship between
17:40
the shock and awe and the Mishmati.
17:42
So again it's very informed in the order and that is you have
17:47
now besides for knowing that you God is God and therefore when
17:50
the followers was as the word of God has way of doing things.
17:54
Secondly, you have Yerachamayim when you have fear of Shamayim
17:59
in that you develop a whole new report of Shaloh.
18:02
So you give a few examples of al mish pratim al prasha that are
18:06
based on Yerachamayim, right? What's a good example of
18:10
Yerachamayim? Oh, Torah says a widow and an
18:18
orphan have to be very careful. And Hashem says if you're not,
18:23
if we're insulting them, if you're not careful, insulting a
18:25
widow, an orphan, the pursuit spells out terrible punishments
18:29
that a person can sell for a loyal in them for insulting and
18:33
harming verbally a widow, an orphan, that's a Misbah, that's
18:38
a law. How to talk to another person is
18:40
a law, man to man law. It's insulting, it's harmful,
18:43
it's dangerous. But what about that punishment,
18:45
the severe punishment which gives into power of how powerful
18:49
that mishpat is? What is a severe abolishment?
18:52
How does it resonate with us? The ought shamayan that we have
18:55
from the tank amendment. So the mishpatin come after that
18:58
yaad shamayan, do they? They carry such great power
19:02
based on the fact that they come after the shotgun law of God to
19:06
an example, Another example, what's the first of our
19:11
mishpatin, The number one mishpat.
19:13
We open up with a random law. The law, his pursuit says keep
19:19
it near. Evidently you purchase a Jewish
19:22
slave. What's down the hush?
19:24
The law is yeah, he's very good. You have to give him a steak.
19:29
You have to make sure you have one pillow.
19:31
You give it to him, right. The laws of a Jewish slave are
19:35
you have to treat him amazingly. You have to give him a me to
19:43
have a sort of wife while he's a slave.
19:45
You have to give all sorts of stuff.
19:47
You have to give him a whole sort of shipment when he leaves
19:50
and to pay him with great gift when he leaves.
19:53
And all this doesn't make sense, right?
19:55
And this is exactly our point. It doesn't make plain sense.
19:58
If you and I were writing the Mish fatim and we said to
20:01
ourselves, let him be as fair and honest a mishpat as
20:06
possible. A Jew went and purchased another
20:08
Jew as a slave. He's in debt, but he purchased
20:12
him. There was no debate about it was
20:13
a purchase. And then that's what I told you
20:15
when you purchase him as a slave, all these restrictions,
20:18
including the fact that after six years he goes free.
20:22
How's that fair? You purchased him, you bought
20:24
him, he accepted the sale, he consented to him.
20:29
Since when? Why do I have to give him all
20:32
these different rules and the pillow and the steak and let him
20:35
go and the six years and provide for him, take care of his wife
20:39
and children. By the way, not even worth the
20:41
time of slave. The gamer says the words Karna,
20:44
Yvette karna don't Lots more. When you purchase a slave,
20:47
you're basically purchasing a new master.
20:49
How does it make any sense? No.
20:50
One says they bought them. Huh.
20:51
I mean they just talk about the concept.
20:53
No one says they actually bought them.
20:54
It never happened. Probably right?
20:55
Because it's so irrelevant. But how does it make sense?
20:58
The reason it makes sense is based on the introduction of the
21:02
10 commandments, which is when God gave us the 10 commandments.
21:06
We became his nation. We became his slaves by becoming
21:10
his slaves. There was a little bit of a
21:12
difficulty in a cap upon us, and that is it's impossible for a
21:17
Jew to ever become a legitimate slave to a fellow Jew again.
21:22
It's physically impossible. How so?
21:24
Why not? I can send it to it.
21:26
Why not? Because you have the 10
21:28
commandments. Because you have to not say you
21:31
accepted Hashem as you are Hashem, which means you're His
21:33
servant. Being that you're His servant,
21:36
it's literally impossible for you to become another person,
21:40
Sir for. An example say.
21:41
Was there any an example? People, yeah, but the law was.
21:44
There was a specific known I. Don't know if there's a known or
21:47
no but the law was. But if you steal a gun from a
21:51
guy and you can't pay him back, what happens is you become a
21:56
slave to pay him back. You give him those years of
21:58
work, you become asleep. But it didn't go all the way
22:01
only because of that introduction of us saying to the
22:03
blood. So we're trying to tell you our
22:05
wish by a team of follow those 10 commandments.
22:09
Reason number one, we say it so you understand.
22:10
Now say God's my God. So these are ways of life and
22:14
reason #2 So you adopt the eraser Mayim.
22:17
You're his servant. And therefore Mahalahod are the
22:20
way they are. Don't insult the widow or an
22:22
orphan. If we do, God knows literally I
22:24
shall punish us. Ha Shalom.
22:26
Don't try to become asleep. And if you do, it's not really
22:29
going to be effective. This is the concept.
22:32
There's one last reason as to why all meshpati come after I
22:38
said to the blood, I'm what they're telling you.
22:39
This is the key reason. Tell us this, MDAJ says.
22:46
Then we'll delve into a view of that muscle.
22:48
There's no MDAJ, Vella Mishpati. It's like this Vishen Medotav
22:56
who to medat pasavadam God does not act like a human being,
23:00
Hazel. A human being gives his
23:04
students, his people rules. He doesn't live.
23:08
He doesn't have to live by themselves.
23:10
Medat Pasavadam Morrell, I tell you what to do and I'll do it
23:16
myself when He gives us as we're learning.
23:21
These are based on yachem and fear of God and based on
23:24
understanding. This is the word of Hashem, His
23:26
way of doing things. The key concept is this, and the
23:30
main concept is not only is Hashem telling you what to do,
23:35
the mishpatim are how Hashem runs the show Himself.
23:41
How does God Himself run the world with the same, so to speak
23:45
frame of mind as all the laws in al Prasha?
23:49
I read the Midas Midas basara badam.
23:52
A regular person tells us all this what to do and doesn't do
23:54
himself hakados but who enochain God is not that way.
23:57
And Lamaze who was saying whatever he does, he told us to
24:02
do. Who O merely is Allah sothe
24:03
village more He tells us to follow whatever he does.
24:08
So our mishpati are actually our guidebook to act like Hashem in
24:16
life. Here's how it works.
24:18
If you want to develop good character, if you want to
24:21
develop good appreciation of other people's money and good
24:24
sensitivity to other people's money, heart and mind, how to
24:29
treat them, how to deal with other people, you learn our mesh
24:32
platim. How is learning our mesh platim
24:34
going to make me a better person?
24:35
Here's the idea. Our mesh platim are actually
24:39
called the Ways and the Guidebook of God.
24:44
What it really is. I'll show you another message.
24:46
Is that a sham? Broke the ceiling open and
24:50
delivered to us a book. And that book is saying here's
24:54
my here's my manual upstairs. Here's our run the world
24:59
upstairs. I believe so and so deserves
25:01
this and so and so deserves that based on what they did.
25:04
I'm giving you down here the manual as to how the world of
25:09
yours should run is same way it runs in my book upstairs.
25:13
So now our mishmati go from society's laws, God's way of how
25:20
he wants us to run things, laws based on Yarasha mine, and now
25:24
they become literally Hashem's practices.
25:29
And here's what happens in Alpha Shah, which what happens in
25:32
Alpha Shah is, is that if a person learns the mishpatim
25:37
lives by these man to man laws, he becomes a finer person.
25:42
And the goal in Mishpatim was to mold us.
25:45
We said last week. When did the Nah said the
25:48
Nishmara really happened? And what does it said you were
25:53
handling this week? Were you for the person or so
25:54
when? The when the now who's up there?
25:56
No, that was the guess. Anyone guesses?
26:00
I guessed before I gave his class.
26:02
And when was Nah said what Ishmara said after 10
26:04
commandments? Right before 10 commandments?
26:06
Right after what was it said? There was 10 commandments.
26:10
Then there were the mishpatin at Al Prasha.
26:13
After the Mishpatin, I'm Misella set the full acceptance of God's
26:19
way. Why?
26:21
Because the idea of our mishpatim are not simply
26:24
financial laws. Instead, what they are are
26:28
literally a manual as to how Hashem feels the world runs
26:32
upstairs. So how does the the mass stand
26:35
in each map with they where you got the looks and insight into
26:37
what they needed to follow? So my whole point earlier about
26:40
the Seven shop being so beautiful is living out the
26:43
window. Good, fair.
26:45
So the answer to that is, is that the answer that is, is that
26:51
really what it was to survive? I thought about this before I
26:53
made that point. Is that really, I say the the
26:57
blood was a taste of some fear of God accepting God.
27:01
Is God only a taste? The Mishpati and Alpha and I saw
27:04
were a taste only of how God runs the world.
27:07
But they wanted all of it. Once you got some and some, you
27:11
said not A7 Ishma. And now you're going to say,
27:13
huh, I'm saying. That's actually.
27:15
That's what it is. It taste.
27:16
In fact, by writing one of seven, Ishma or Sherabina wrote
27:20
a book called Severhabrit. What's the Severhabrit?
27:25
The book of the tree. It's all the bizukin, the end of
27:28
our Prussia or tree. Are we talking about several
27:31
Torah? No, he wrote down.
27:34
According to somebody Shanin he wrote down and thank you and
27:38
then we just learning how to play shot, which is what let's
27:41
say 40% of the Tura laws, 30% whatever it is.
27:44
He wrote them in a book he made a treaty between the Jewish
27:47
people and God. They said not saving Ishmael at
27:50
that point with this little bit like a preview of the full Torah
27:56
and not saving Ishmael as we're explaining is reflecting the
27:59
acceptance of God's power and commandments, fear of God.
28:03
Hashem is Hashem, His word and the acceptance of His way.
28:07
That's the power of mishpatin. We have a pasuk Maggie
28:11
Deveravliako Hashem tells His words to the Jewish people.
28:16
Huka U mishpatah liasailed His ways to yasail.
28:23
Listeners basuk God tells Devanah Diyako and his mishpatin
28:29
diasail. We say interview every day.
28:33
What does it mean? His words to Yaakov as ways to
28:35
yasail the word is Divarov or I said to the broth, Maggie
28:40
Divarov Yaakov Hashem told us his 10 commandments Divarov, I
28:44
said to the broth same word Hukavu Mishpatov is referring to
28:49
the mishpatim of our prasha to you say oh to our people.
28:53
And then we have this is the this is the process.
28:58
This is the build. Now in that basuk, by the way,
29:01
as Yaakov and you say, which word is a greater definition of
29:05
us, which word is a nicer compliment to be a binaya call
29:11
of binayas, which is the higher level?
29:13
Binayas is a higher level. Here's how it goes.
29:16
The I said that the blood, we understood that God is God, we
29:19
accepted Hashem is Hashem, but we didn't have the mishpat team.
29:23
We didn't have God's guide, we didn't have his manual.
29:27
So you were, Yeah, Israel, through the Mishpat team,
29:31
through US, learning how Hashem runs the world.
29:36
That's how we got the full Israel level.
29:41
This is the full process of Al Prasha.
29:43
Al Prasha is coming at the latest Prasha.
29:45
It's the Mishpat team coming at the debrot.
29:48
So like we said, so far, three ways.
29:51
Number one, our understanding that first God is God, and then
29:55
we have His Mishpat team #2 our awe and fear.
30:01
Shock it all for 10 commandments and then we have yurat shamayim,
30:05
fear of heaven regarding al Allahs and #3 is concept which
30:10
is it's not only we're getting this fatim or getting Hashem's
30:15
way of running the show upstairs.
30:17
So it turns out if you follow the laws of man to man, well,
30:22
you're going to end up being like God.
30:26
How does a Jew develop good character?
30:29
How does a Jew develop fine character?
30:31
He follows and emulates Hashem, the mitzvah.
30:35
There's no mitzvah naturah of midot.
30:37
You know that there's no pasuk natura that says have good
30:40
character. So why do we care of midot?
30:44
It's number one. But there's no pasuk natura that
30:47
says have good character. How much does it do it?
30:50
How do I know I have good character if the pasuk doesn't
30:52
tell me to do it? The pasuk says be like Hashem.
30:58
Be like Hashem means follow Hashem's way of running the
31:01
world. The way God treats us is where
31:04
you should treat your fellow Jew.
31:06
That's like I trickle down, act like Hashem.
31:09
Al Miss Fatim are actually a way that I can live like I'll give
31:13
you an example, a clear example. You know, we have this concept.
31:17
People sin, people sin, say Ali, people sin.
31:21
That's the way we all know. Does Hashem punish us
31:24
immediately the moment we sin? No, so it's possible.
31:29
No, he does. So it's possible.
31:31
Toma Devaras says, Huh, He punishes him before.
31:34
No, not is that Toma Devaras says, a classic concept.
31:38
He says you can have a person who's being given oxygen by God.
31:42
He's breathing as a God while he's sinning, while he's
31:46
literally almost in a certain sense going against Hashem.
31:49
So someone's feeding him the strength and energy.
31:51
It's all a miracle. God is giving him a miracle on
31:53
the power to go against Hashem. He says, Isn't that crazy?
31:57
But that's the mercy of our sham, that he gives us chances.
32:00
So he even gives us oxygen and strength and money and
32:04
everything to use, even if we're using against him because he
32:08
gives us a long leash. That's a sham's way.
32:12
We have to adopt the same length.
32:13
Do we have a law that's like that?
32:15
And now by shall we have a law? It says if you see enemies,
32:20
donkey on the ground, your enemy.
32:23
What kind of enemy are we talking about?
32:25
Torah calls him an enemy. You're not allowed to have an
32:28
enemy. A Jew is not allowed to have an
32:31
enemy for no reason. So what does it mean?
32:32
A Torah enemy? Talking about a guy who's really
32:36
a bad guy to you, He really was a bad guy.
32:38
And what does a Torah say? You see the enemy's donkey on
32:42
the ground. Hakim Taquim Iman help him lift
32:47
up his donkey. So here's a Jew who's got
32:50
another Jew who stole $100,000 from him.
32:54
Not a good guy. He's on the side of the road.
32:57
His car doesn't start. Wait till it's dark.
33:00
He steals that a good deal there.
33:02
Very good. Yeah.
33:03
Mitzvah to help him jump start this car.
33:06
You happen to have the cables in the car?
33:08
Yeah. Mitzvah to help him jump start
33:09
the car. That sounds like an almost a
33:11
ridiculous idea. What is that?
33:14
If you do that once or twice, you're a Sadiq.
33:17
Where you are is emulating God. So our Mishpatima turns are our
33:22
literally ashamed way of doing so.
33:24
That's the overall thing. How do you filter out to to that
33:27
like to how do day like slavery someone steal people stick to
33:31
each other to pick those old Maple right?
33:33
How do I right? So true a lot of the laws and
33:36
true a lot of the laws don't the law of every If you learn the
33:40
details enough, you learn the idea that no matter who the Jew
33:43
is, you have to treat him with respect.
33:46
That's the main theme of every. You have to treat him well no
33:50
matter what the situation is. The guy who stole from his so
33:52
cold wrong. He definitely wronged you and
33:55
even saw your general respect. And it's a difficult law to
33:57
learn for learn from. So there's no man command
34:00
justice. There's no, no exactly the basic
34:03
definition that we have of justice.
34:06
He let Hashem do justice. He let the courts try to do the
34:10
justice. You don't try to carry the
34:12
justice. You try to carry out the ways of
34:15
being the person. This is the overall theme.
34:16
Another example, the pasuk says if if you lend money, don't
34:22
charge interest. If you lend, it's a much smaller
34:26
lend. Bless your cashiness.
34:29
But that's me. Sorry you lend Bunny, is that
34:31
you? Is that very good by?
34:33
No, you lend other people's money.
34:34
Exactly. Don't say it's other people's
34:36
back. Party and steal the way of the
34:38
merchant. Sounds like party that it's OK.
34:41
But the lights are on. That it's kosher in case says
34:45
the best side of that, right, In case if you lend money says,
34:49
well, she, although this is the word, if it's a mitzvah to lend,
34:54
in fact, if you have the money, it's a mitzvah to lend money.
34:58
One of the highest levels of Sidaka is lending money because
35:01
you're lending a person, you're keeping him on his toes and at
35:05
the same time he's not really being embarrassed because he's
35:07
borrowing. So it's far to lend.
35:09
You've already got to be careful, as we all know.
35:11
Been there, done that, been burned, all of us fine.
35:14
And you have to do it the right way.
35:16
Now, why did you say if you lend?
35:18
Why did you say if you lend to Mishvat if it's final in and
35:21
then it says in those laws don't charge interest.
35:24
Why use the word in, that's for sure.
35:28
But why does it say if you do says order claim The reason it
35:32
says the word if it means like this, if you have enough money
35:36
is how you read. In case if if you're well off
35:41
and you're wondering why I have this extra money.
35:43
If anyone ever wondered that question, tell that to me lend
35:47
my people. So then we spot itself.
35:50
It's telling us how to act with our money.
35:52
It's telling us how you should look at your money.
35:53
In fact, if you have actually, you tell yourself it's somebody
35:58
else's money. Talve ET ami ET ami.
36:02
Lend that person, lend my people.
36:04
So is telling us how to look at these laws.
36:09
All right, this is the idea, Ozil.
36:11
Oh, yeah. One last mazdash.
36:13
We keep all the time. One last mazdash and then we'll
36:15
show your points. It says about this Leslie's
36:20
Baja, one of the last laws were don't climb up steps to them.
36:29
Is bear all right? Don't go upstairs.
36:32
Don't build steps. Build a ram the knee.
36:36
Why? So, as she said, then an idea of
36:40
cenut. So let's play that out for a
36:42
SEC. What do you mean cenut?
36:44
They used to wear ropes and if they walk up the steps, it's I
36:48
even inappropriate to the stones when they walk up those steps.
36:52
Therefore I have a ramp. They're not going to spread
36:54
their legs the same way and it's less, less I.
36:58
That's right before our mishpatim.
37:01
There are mishpatim and these other mishpatim.
37:03
Let's make that connection. What's that connection?
37:06
That's a law of coward of stones.
37:10
Why is that being brought right before our mishmatim?
37:13
Once again you see the depth of our laws and our guidance and
37:17
God's playbook. And that is if you have to give
37:21
kavod to stones, how much more so do you need to give kavoda
37:27
brillot? And one of the main ideas to
37:29
pull out of almish by a team is how important it is to treat
37:33
people with respect. Let me give you another example.
37:35
One of our laws. If you lend money, Bashar says
37:39
you lend money. The guy didn't pay back.
37:42
He not a little put pressure on him.
37:44
OK, Obviously if you set a deadline, you know, I put
37:47
certain pressures. If you set a deadline, it's
37:49
different. But before I deadline, he kept
37:51
any pressure. What does that mean?
37:53
What does that mean? I give you how far it goes.
37:56
You're not allowed to walk on the scene.
37:59
You see him walking on the sidewalk and you're walking the
38:02
same way across the street before you see him.
38:05
Why? Because if he sees you, he's in
38:08
it's not uncomfortable. And you're thinking to yourself
38:10
as many times as I can when he walked by himself, at least he
38:13
remembers I in my name. None of the opposite is true.
38:16
You know, they can feel uncomfortable.
38:17
That is a depth and a concept of Cavada brio.
38:21
It's a deep one. It's a far off 1, but it just
38:24
gives you the theme behind our miss by team.
38:27
If they were laws of society, even a very civil logical
38:32
society, we believe American laws, most of them, if they're
38:34
followed, most of them make a lot of sense.
38:36
The Constitution was very well documented and very well
38:38
written. It should be well written, very
38:41
logical. Most laws in America are very
38:43
logical. Even so, they do not carry this
38:47
flavour right. You, as a jewel, are supposed to
38:49
go to Beijing before you ever go.
38:51
To supposed to go to Beijing financial laws before you go to
38:53
the court 100%. But the theme is these flavours
38:56
Yudachamayan. This is God's playbook.
38:59
This is how a person acts and it develops good character.
39:03
The last point is, is that when you're doing Meshpatin, you need
39:08
to. Pasu says he said the steps
39:11
right right before Al Mishra team.
39:14
Another reason why he says don't have steps.
39:17
Excuse me? People have a tendency to run up
39:22
steps faster than they run up a ramp.
39:25
OK, you've done it, I've done it.
39:28
You run up steps, you do 2 at a time, right?
39:30
That's how it works when the Torah says the Lord don't have
39:33
steps by the right before them, right right before the Misbah
39:40
team that I was telling you, don't rush to judgement.
39:44
Don't rush to apply a law. What do you mean?
39:47
I know the law. I know the don't rush.
39:50
Why don't rush? Because if you're adopting the
39:52
Misbah team, you need to be patient and allow God's way to
39:56
set in. If you rush, if you think it's
40:00
you, that technically speaking, the law will come from your
40:03
mind. And again, the overall the
40:05
Amish, my team. Coming after that said that the
40:07
blood are that these are the ways of Hashem.
40:10
So if I rush it's going to come from my mind.
40:13
If I take my time, I'm going to allow God's way to sit in.
40:16
So this is overall the concept behind opera Hashah law after
40:20
law after law. They're all based on this
40:23
development you have. You're not your mind.
40:25
You have it not be. Yes, you have it out your mind
40:29
you have. Let me tell you the last minute
40:34
says. And imagine a father Mashallah
40:41
melech when we compare it to a king who has a lot of sons.
40:46
Let me find the Madash. Yeah.
40:50
And he loves his youngest son the most.
40:53
And he has a special pardais, special orchard.
40:57
And he loves that son. He loves that that orchard more
40:59
than anything else. So he has the youngest son he
41:01
loves. And he has this area, this spot.
41:04
He probably goes out and takes walks over there.
41:05
He loves it, says Medash. And you're going to give that
41:10
area to his favorite youngest son, Mayano tener padeh shehal
41:16
El benora Cortana Shah Yahweh kah Amara kadeh Brotherhood.
41:20
God is the same way. I love all nations, but among
41:24
all nations I love the Jewish people.
41:25
They're my youngest son, they're my nard, they're my baby.
41:30
Because I love them, I'm going to give them my mish patin.
41:34
That's the Medash says why are we referred to as God's youngest
41:39
son? Just tell me what God's son, why
41:42
his youngest son? This spreads the theme at the
41:45
full circle and we'll recap everything in a minute.
41:47
Why youngest son? Young is humble.
41:52
Young is the concept of harrisonite, the concept of
41:56
being small. And we tell you that I, Hashem
41:59
McGee, chose us to give us the mishpat team as Jewish people
42:03
because we carry, or supposed to carry that humility.
42:08
We're going to be available to believe in Hashem's mishpat as
42:11
His mishpat because we are humble.
42:14
We're going to take in Hashem to do anything.
42:17
And I'll be arrogant enough to say I'm a doer.
42:19
My word again, it comes after I said to the belot.
42:23
It comes after witnessing the power of God, after accepting
42:29
Hashem's by King. Now you have Hashem delivering
42:31
to me his favorite orchard. His favorite orchard means God
42:35
needs to take walks in that orchard.
42:36
And then he decided to give it to me.
42:38
And that's exactly our point. This is how Hashem had upstairs
42:42
our mission by team, our laws team, man and man are literally
42:46
Hashem's way of doing things upstairs.
42:48
And he decided to deliver it to us, that great gift.
42:51
And only then do we say not 7:00-ish.
42:53
Not only then do we become a complete nation.
42:57
So the overall theme for multiple reasons is that the
43:00
Vela Mishpat team and these are the Mishpat team coming after
43:04
that, I said to the blood everything Commandments 1,
43:08
they're both from Sinai. They both carry humility like
43:10
Madasha, we just said, two, you recognize that God is all
43:15
powerful and nobody can have the arch of mind everything you do.
43:18
And three, when you realize this is God and these are his ways,
43:24
the Mishpat team are US, our people like Hashem.
43:27
And through these misfire team, we will become a finer, more
43:32
beautiful people. We'll be God's small child
43:34
because we'll be humble. We'll be God's hearts united
43:37
because we'll be small, but we'll be following exactly like
43:40
Hashem. Now, 7 Ishma, I'm going to do
43:43
I'm, I know your actions. I'm going to follow you now.
43:46
I'm going to listen to your beautiful words about misfire
43:48
team. Is that wow?
