Day 246 | Pele Yoeitz - Hashem Knows Your Finances
Hey Chevra, how are you? Day 246 in our Paleoid journey. We continue right along in the section of loans. Halvog, Vatishlo nemarzu. This is only said. Right, when did we say that if a non-Jew and a Jew approaches you, they're both asking for a loan that we say you have to give to the Jew first? Right, he has a different profession. He's not making his money based on this profit by getting uh interest from a guy. Right? He's only doing it when he lends to a guy, he's only doing it for the sake of being the Kaima Mitzvah. In that case, then a Jew comes first. However, if he needs the Parnassa, so then he should do it with the non Jew. A person, where do you ever end? How do you ever get to the point of saying, oh, I don't need that, I don't need it to be on my Parnassa. I get parameters. Everyone always wants an extra buck or two, right? So Kesif, like it says in Kaihalas, somebody who loves money will not be satisfied by money. He's gonna always find a reason to be part of himself and say, no, no, no, I I shouldn't, um, you know, I shouldn't do this loan for free, because I need to make some money. Hashem knows if you're able, if you're not. There is a fine line, and Hashem knows what that line is. Truth is, the nature of a person is that he only seeks good for himself, right? And truth is we should do this with other people as well. We should be down the gavzakhs. But the way we are with ourselves, we judge ourselves favorably, we don't see ourselves in a negative light, generally speaking. That's why the Torah warns us and writes in the Shamer Lchah Penya Dovar im Livovcha Bilyal Laymar, Karvashna, Sashevishna, Sashmita, Rahba. The Torah says a person should not be stingy. You know what? Somebody who is stingy, it's like ilu, you are Ivar Averizar. Lawless, Ksivhasam it says elsewhere, Yotsu Nashabin Bilyal, that lawless men have gone out, according to the stringency, because this is a matter of stringency. A person has to get to that level where he would even faint. A person can infer that's in mammon, you shawl. Person's like on a threshold, should he, should he not? He should push himself a little bit, and Hashem will pay him back. It all depends on the person. It's known that anything good, even something matter of chasidos, yesh givakits, but there has to be limitations, there has to be gidarm, it's muslimishbot, there has to be proper judgment. Person shouldn't go to either extreme. The best thing to do in life in general is to take the middle approach, the middle road. What is the proper path? Something that's going to be good for those who do it, those who it's going to be honourable for the person. Like a wise person says, somebody who's careful shouldn't be too scrupulous, it shouldn't be over careful. Certainly, this applies to this case of Halva. Person should weigh um before he does these loans. And now he's going to rely on other humans. If Hashem has given you more than really what you need in terms of paranoia, you should give a portion away. And if he has the minog already to give me sir, part of it should be dedicated to the case. And this will be um uh principle, it would be uh good for him. So life, Yafki, Acher Moiselo, yeah, and even after he dies, he's that the mitzvos that he did, uh he acquired aren't going to abandon him. We'll see kassoy, medislod, his righteousness will stand, with tailekhach, and it will be eternal. It will march in front of him and behind him, Sham will pick up next week on Sunday with this topic of Halvah. Have a beautiful Shabbos, and we'll see you then.
