Day 242 | Pele Yoeitz - Hitting a Person is Like Hitting Hashem
Hey everybody, welcome back. Paleo. It's day 242. We continue the topic of hakah, corporal punishment. We're talking about hitting. Is it good to hit? Well, probably not. So let's continue what to see what the Paleo test to tell us. So it's not the prohibition against heading is not just for our child, Alakam. Shark call, Adam Ikaloved, Loy Spencer for anybody. You're not a hitab. It comes from this concept that you can't increase in lashes. Not a hit look of arm, like it says in Sanhedrin, how soiter, loyal shelk, somebody who slaps the cheek of his friend. He was soiter, loyal shahina. It's like slapping the cheek of the Yahlova Kurushbrok, who peresh rash says, striking the cheek. You're obviously not allowed to hit anywhere else, too, but striking the cheek, that's because that was what was common. Somebody who uses his strength belongs to the ground for Abhuna Kutsidah or Abhuna would cut the hand off somebody who physically abused somebody else. I don't know if he did it constantly or he did it once. Okay. The people who are in charge of the city, they have to find, they have to pursue these hitters, these people, and make sure they don't exist. People who treat their wives miserably abuse them. You gotta get rid of these people. Um obviously you don't you don't kill the you don't kill them, but you have to you have to report them. They have no busha. It's impossible for a woman to dwell in the same place as a snake. Mitzvah Rabbah of Dei Lahatso Oshuk Miyar Oshko, it's a mitzvah, a great mitzvah, to save somebody who's oppressed from the hand of the oppressors. Even to hit young children, in Rushushmodam Ella Av Labanim, only a father to a child in the right way, in the right context, etc. Or a rabbi or a supervisor. It's not really the common thing to do today. It could be back in yesterday, you know, the rein would hit with a ruler. It's not the thing to do today. Right? When you do hit young children, it should be done with shoelaces. What's the idea? Shoelaces are soft. You're not hitting them with um a brick, right? That would be silly. That would be uh that would be rich. But to hit, if you need to, with a so shoelac, meaning it has to be something that's soft, that's not gonna, it's not gonna hurt the tzaias tzaias. And if the child obeys, then he'll obey. If somebody hits a child due to voladin, this cut can go over to Kozmul Khnas, and then he's taken to court. So he's gonna be held responsible. I remember Bish Echad Uh Shem, there was a God-fearing person, Shay Parnasai, he was a supervisor of children, Shibash Petiras. So at the time he passed away, Tibala Akhbisaknesses he wanted that it should be announced in the synagogue, Shihushaya Machilah that he asks Mahila Ktana Miko Asamakden if he treated any of the children not correctly, if he hit any of them, um that he should he's asking Mahila to take responsibility. Now let hit with a even with a strap. Shaloka din lo uh it can't be done in in a situation where it's going to to hurt, where it's done out of anger. Even if there's a need to hit, rabba, you can't do a large blow, makka sorry, something that's evil. Allah rushva eye in a place like a head or an eye that could cause a real blemish. It should be done benachas. If you do need to hit, yakim benachas, like on the legs or something like that, and it should be done without anger. Most of the time today it's very hard not to hit without caste, so that would take away this hetab. It should be done properly, with proper justice, with weight and with measure. So he darkish, this is the upright path to take. We shall be zoha to take the upright path. And it's just like a way that we could frame our relationship with people and understanding how we would want a Qurish Brahu to deal with us, right? Anytime we can mistake, just for Akadish Brachu to hit us with anger, we wouldn't want such a thing. So let's work on in our relationship with other people, with our children, spouses, with uh whoever it is, to not use physical um abuse and to not um do do so out of anger, just like we wouldn't want Akurdish Brachou to deal with us in that way. We shall be Zook to have a good relationship with our with our spouses, with our children, and with other people that we meet, wishing you all the best. I mean, we'll continue tomorrow with a new topic of how to bash our clothing for the needy. All the best.
