Day 244 | Pele Yoeitz - The Proper Way to Receive a Gift
Echavra, day 244 of Palayoi's journey. We continue and will Bez Hashem complete the topic of Halbosha, the importance of clothing that needi. Here we go. But somebody who Akkarish Brok has blessed with wealth. This is what he should do. She asked the Latzman the Khalben Machatash Bini. This is what you should do. You have enough money. Every yantif you should buy for yourself, for your children, for your wife. You should buy a new set of clothing. Give the old garments to Lanim who got him. Give them to people, poor people who are deserving. Because they should look honorable. They shouldn't wear things that are tattered. You have to have extra mercy on them. Should rejoice in his riches. Realize that what you think, and which is nice, which is nice if you're a rich person, you have clothing, the poor person might have different expectations. They might have different mindset. You think, okay, this last year's stuff, it's so out of style. Give it to a poor person, and this is his, this is gonna be amazing for him. He's gonna totally appreciate it. Uh regarding the poor person, this same clothing that you think is last year's garbage is is his is is today's fashion statement. You have to separate that the part that's the choices. Like it says, your life come first. But who kain lubash is a chadish person um should be for meaning he should buy the new clothing himself. The usher and the yesterday's clothing, meaning last year's clothing, the old ones, when they khadash yotzi, um, he should give that away. Umeda, the mammokal dava, a person before he gives, he should try to determine, discern, um, well, the person appreciated. Who khashivat's of the khabbein of tarh, does he need it? Try to um and meaning, try the poor the rich person before he gives the clothing, he should kind of determine does that actually does does the guy need it, does he want it? Um, or is he not gonna want it? And when the guy actually gets it, when the poor person gets it, he shouldn't complain. He shouldn't speak ill about him, but in front of others. Because once the poor person starts to talk badly about the rich person, it's gonna close the door on the rich people from them giving militia below the same millennium. They're not gonna give their second-hand clothing anymore because they're talking back. So it has to be this two-way streak. Says the Palio, it's an important cloud, important rule. Vidarach ish when it comes to receiving gifts in general. Vidarach is taif, the way of a good person, Sheshla Das, who has a proper intellect, and Khana Michael's, Shakol Shhav Hashta. Anytime a person tries to do something good for you, his intention is good. The Khanala is a double, he buys you something, he gives you a c whatever it is. Even if you think it's bad, and you think you it you could have done better. You think it's cheap. You should pretend and show as if you're happy. Tell the guy, oh my gosh, I mamish needed this. That way there's there'll be this good spirit. It's not going to close the door upon these um people from giving. This is the way of good people, an important claw in general. When you receive a gift, when you uh get something from somebody to appreciate it, to say thank you. Oh my gosh, I needed this. Um anyways, it's just an important, it's an important claw. There's this minhug in many places that they give clothing to children, uh poor children in Wabishima some um benchanakal chanaka on every chanak. It's so praiseworth. Kimitz Rabba Isam they're doing a great thing. Well, meeting Bahilabam king laanium, they should do it even for the older people, hey, and shame their wives and their little children. Somebody who's weak, he should say, I'm strong. It's such an important mitzah to do this, and I will bring Brahana's dakhla Khoma say day and for all of his stuff. It's gonna be good for him in this world and in the next Yaikh who preach it's him. Yesu brachnizashem, he's gonna receive a blessing from Hashem Umaysayim, and he's gonna receive a blessing from the poor person as well. His children will be mighty in the land, vehinich, and he will leave an inheritance for his descendants. I was just thinking as we close this section, um, that we began this topic of how basha the morns of clothing people with the idea that it's like creating an aur. He says, right, Kisera, Aram Vhisisa, when you see a naked man and you clothe him, oz yi baka kashachar orcha, your light will burst forth. So there's this connection between clothing and light. Like Adam and Khava, they sinned and they were given kasnos ar, right? R with an ayam, but r there's also with an oliv. So there's this connection between clothing and light. When a person wears proper clothing, it gives them a sense of confidence, it gives them a sense of covert, a sense of respect and honor. So it's interesting that there's a specific minhug on chanukkah, mechanika al-chanakka, to to give clothing to poor people. Because chanka is the time of light. Khanukkah is the time to bemalish others in light. It's the time that we light candles at home and we light our own home, and it's time to light other people up. How do you do that? By giving them clothing, by giving them proper clothing, they feel dignified, they feel respected, and this kusnus r will now be an R with an Aleph. This this light, this, this clothing will now provide them with a sense of uh of light, with a sense of monomission, with a sense of purpose, with a sense of respect and acknowledgement for them to be able to move on and carry on in a respectable manner. That concludes this section of Habasha and Maritzem will continue tomorrow with a new topic of how loans see it then.
