Day 245 | Pele Yoeitz - You Won't Lose Out
Hey Khavra, how are you? Day 245 in our Pelioids journey. We begin a brand new topic called loans, halva. Says the Peleoids like this, Yodua Shehi alchas mitzos. It's known. One of the six thirteen commandments. It's to loan, to give a loan to somebody, to ayyid who's in need, whether he's poor, whether he's rich. Alisha, I remember since a chazal of taught us ani baasher, but if you have two of them at the same time, a poor person and a rich person, anikodem, you give to the one who's needier. Even if you're dealing with the opportunity to give a guy a loan, and there um it's mutter to actually get interest, or you could give to a Jew, you have to give to a Jew, even though you're not gonna profit. Even though you're totally allowed to do that with a guy, the Israel Rebachal Peru said you're gonna receive a profit from doing so because you could get interest from a non-Jew. Mitzvah Salval, you saw Ayla al Gaban. It's still a greater mitzvah to loan to a yed. This is so important, this line of the Palaeoites, for all of life in general. And how we approach money. Vavinu Roinu, our father, our shepherd, Ainu Khafits Bevseib of Shalanu, Hashem doesn't enjoy our loss in money. Hashem doesn't want us to lose our money. Sometimes we think, oh, Hashem's happy that I'm that I don't have X amount of dollars in my bank account. No. There's nothing that can hold a Khrushchev back. And so when a person has this decision to either give money to loan to a yid or to a non-ju. And by giving to a non-ju he can profit, but by giving to a yid he will not. A person will think he's gonna lose out, you're not gonna lose out. You're not gonna lose out. A person has to have a munan batachu, and that doing the right thing will lead to him gaining. But so you have an opportunity either to give a loan with a hatar iskah. So in that situation, you're allowed to receive interest, or you could give a loan to a poor person and you're not getting any. Use your bitachon and just give it to the one who's needed. Certainly, if somebody receives profit by giving a loan, that's not a mitzvah of loaning from the tarot. That's not a mitzvah. Even though giving to a poor person alone is a mitzvah. It's not going to be considered a mitzvah. If it's done in a forceful way, that's not considered a mitzvah. Truth is, at the end of the day, says the Palayo, it all goes according to the situation. Shim. He writes a little vos look noise a dovershall me darus. If the Oni, he's trying to get a loan from you, and what does he want to do with that money? He wants to buy things that are extraneous, that are not really necessary for him. The side of Allah Usher Reitil Shan, and the poor person who's coming, sorry, and the rich person who's coming to you for a loan, what does he want? Ray Tilash Bachad, he needs to pay somebody back so that way he doesn't lose stature, so he doesn't lose his status. Shalom says, so he doesn't lose his munik, going to be free of Lucia, Fa for Polisa. In that case, between the Ani and the poor and the and the rich, the the rich person comes first. Truth is, in that case, he's not really all that considered rich. In this case, the wealthy person, you have to give him first. At this moment, he's considered more of a poor person. Mr. Shem again, like we mentioned previously, we should all be on the side of giving. And the person should have this approach to money that if you're doing the right thing, that's the right thing. You're not gonna lose out by doing so. We should all be Zaycha to do the right thing. Wishing you all the best. We'll continue with this topic of loans tomorrow.
