Day 243 | Pele Yoeitz - Clothing the Needy
Hey Khavra, welcome back. Day 243 of our Peleoid's journey. We are going to begin a new topic today called Basha, the importance of clothing the needy. People know that when somebody comes around collecting, the importance of giving money tzidaka. But today we're going to discuss the importance of giving clothing. It's a short day, so here we go. Hashem clothes those who are unclothed. We're supposed to be like Hashem. If Hashem clothes those who don't have clothes, so then we should close those who we need. After the sin of Adam and Chava, Hakurish Baruch who gave them clothes, what we call kosnos are. When you provide clothing, your light will burst forth like the morning. It's always important and so fundamentally crucial to have mercy on those who have less. And he could acquire two prutos as his payment, and he'll purchase bread. Let's say this person is so poor, he doesn't even have what to eat. Certainly, he's not going to have what to wear. His clothing that he does wear is just going to get less and it's going to be worn out and worn out. And that's one patch on top of another patch. It's like worn out rags. Seeing a person like this with tattered clothing, it should make our inward, it should make our inner innards like turn. It should turn our insides into turmoil. We should be disgusted and not discussed like O Nebuchad, but discussed in a way that that Nebuchadnezzar lead us to do something to give them clothing. And I think the Palayot said an important line that the clothing that he wears, it's going to be so run down to the extent of Einam Chaim, that his life is not a life. And I think that's why Al-Basha is so important, is because a person who doesn't have proper clothing, his life is not worth living. It's not a life because a person, the clothing is covered, the clothing is respect, and people need uh just in a little bit of sense of decency, a sense of respect. And so yes, it's important to fuel your inside. You need food, you need drink. But almost more importantly is to feud your your head, your your psychology. You need to be respectful, you need to be respectable, you need to have some level of I'm alive. And when you a person wears proper clothing, they can feel like that. Um, no one should be in a position where they should need to rely on others to help them with with um with food, with with clothing. We should all be in a position to give, to be able to give to others. And Mr. Shem, nobody should be in this we shouldn't even have to give because everyone should have abundance. Uh, Shemin Sabar al cry that uh the coming of Mashiach should come speedily in our days. Wishing you all the best. We'll continue with this topic tomorrow. See you then.
