Pay Your Spiritual Debts | Pele Yoetz | Hachzek Day 91
Alright, Khafra, welcome back. Day 91. Today's Thursday, Pelioid 14th of Ell. We're continuing the topic of Chov. Here we go. On the other hand, somebody who's owed money from his friend. There's a commandment he shouldn't press his brother to pay him back. Just don't petra him. You can't even walk in front of him because you're going to like remind him the fact, right? Your existence will remind him of his debt. Even if you suspect that the guy's a swindler, because you think that he has money and makes it appear that he does not. And yeah, you won't come to transgress the prohibition of loygos, not to press the guy who owes you money. If he's able to pay it back, in such a case where you know the guy has something to pay you back, then you don't have to be merciful towards him if you know that if you suspect that he's a swindler. And then they he can pressure the borrower until his soul leaves him, meaning like almost until he dies to pay back to pay him back. Even if that means him removing the shirt off his back. I'll call upon him Gam Lazetar Hlis Nag Bader Taiven. The letter of the law is that a person who wants to collect debts that he's owed, he should conduct himself in a manner that's that's befitting, that's righteous. It should be something that earns him the esteem of his fellow man, meaning he's like a good guy. Um din tier, he should go beyond the letter of the law. If you know again, the guy is a dishonest man, he's like a swindler and he's acting improperly, he doesn't intend to pay the debt that he owes you. Then you have the right um to collect however um you can, even the shirt from honest back. If the borrower is a good guy, um but and and he actually wants to pay you back, which hopefully you expect that from a borrower, he slowly accumulates his payment and he pays you back slowly but surely, pruta by prutta. In this case, it's it's okay, it's a good practice. You see, he's trying to pay you back, so just give him some time. Um don't be the cause for this man's feet to falter. Um, you know, like letting him know that, hey, you owe me money, you owe me money, don't petro him again. Um repossessing his belongings, his merchandise to repay his debts through the order of courts. Don't bring him to court, sorry. Send me katea raglo shimabes and rabi also, because this is gonna it's gonna hamper his standing in the in the vault, and he people are gonna not trust this guy anymore, even though he he's a he's a good he's a good guy. So don't make him feel bad and don't give him a bad name. The lender should um what should he do? The lender should share, he should grant the man more time to say, hey, I give you more time um to pay. She called pruto prutum and serve the khajbun, because that one eventually each prutta will will add up. And if you can lend the borrower um, you know, to if in order for him to gain wealth on his own, do that, and that way both of you will gain bezum mitzarabah. This is a great mitza, the kaim machine, of what it says, if your brother becomes a poor person and his means falter and whatever, you shall strengthen him, you help him out, even if he's the one that owes you viagidos, this is the highest form of this is the highest form of charity. The way that we judge others and conduct ourselves towards them, that's how Kodushbar will measure us. Like we said yesterday, every person truly is indebted to the one above. Imagine, right? So give the guy time, just like you want a Shem to give you time. But at the same time, you're not completely saying, Oh, you don't have to pay me back at all. And so too, I shouldn't say, Oh, you don't have to come close to me, you don't have to do this matos. No, you have to. Rather, um, uh somebody who's has attribute like Nakharishbarahu, who is the the the peak of of merciful. So he he delays his anger and gives us a chance there to do to Shuvah. And in but in the end, he's going to collect Vegabi delay, he's gonna collect what he is rightfully owned. Um this will conclude today, and Rinsa Shem tomorrow will pick up and complete this section of hope, wishing you all the best.
