Respect People Who Have Money | Pele Yoetz | Hachzek Day 40
Khaver, how are you? Day forty. Pelo yoits. I hope you had a beautiful Shabbos, Chukas, Balak. We're back together. We're on the same page now. We should be Zoychet, have Achtos, and you be united. Today's topic is Chanufa. We continue in Os Ches, Chanufa, Flattery. It might not be what you think it is, so buckle up and stay tuned and let's jump right in. Chanufa Goidel Gidl Rosem, the first bidver Zeno Zal Bashas Midrashim. The great evil of flattery is discussed all throughout the gamut of Jewish literature. Go check out that safer and you'll remember. We have to understand what is flattery. There's some things that people think is flattery, which is not. I've literally just read the same line twice. Okay. Somebody who gives respect, who gives extra honor to a wealthy person, people think, oh, flattery. They just throw it, oh, he's flattering the guy. It's not an accurate presumption. Because guess what? says the Peleotes. You're actually supposed to be Mahabh the wealthy. She came by Rabbeinu Akadush, we find Shayya Machabir Shah Shirem. Rabbeinu Akadush was Bachabid the wealthy. Meaning that's not that's not what we call flattery. Right? This is an amazing reason, says the Palio. It's why honoring a rich person is not flattering. Why? It's that it's from it's like a swara. Shemiyakhash bikaro. A kurishbar who gave this person honor, right? Somebody who is wealth, that means they have shefa. They haven't a certain element of brachus from a pai. Vashpi al love mi maram, it was given from them shefa bracha. So therefore what? If Hashem gives them shefa, we have to also. Gamma Nachnu Khayav Mhidah, then we have to respect them, right? We're giving the respect. And so it's really the fact that when we're behaving the ushir, we're showing that Kurdish Baruch, wow, Hashem gave that person, so now I'm gonna show that person respect. It's it's our it represents our connection with the Boreolum. Certainly, if you've benefited from the guy, of course you have to give him honor. It's somebody who has a lot. Um, you know, somebody who has a lot of money, a lot of property, a lot of assets. So he probably did a lot of mitzvos with it. Maybe even more than more or more so than others, why, the khatav, but he's able to get rid of some of his sins through giving tsudaka, and this person's able to give a lot. And even if the person does something a little bit i unjust, you still have to be machabe them, viata kitas minashra, and lizalzal kok. You can't um you can't be mezalzal them, you can't dishonor them. Shikin Matina Bashas, Sha Umru, El Mole Todusano Lachanido. If you're not Todis, had you not been Todd, um you would have been excommunicated. He would place provisions in the wallets, in the pockets of the righteous. What is chanupah? So being chabed the wealthy, that's not chanupa. We just established that. So what is flattery? Harishan Kashavashina Kashmir. There's one thing that's difficult, one one of them is is severe, and then the second thing is even more severe. We're gonna see the second one tomorrow. But the first one let's cover today. It's somebody who's doing something fake. And outwardly he expresses love towards his friend. But what he's saying and what he's feeling, they're they're not they're not in sync. He's speaking nicely with his mouth, but inside his heart, he's setting a trap. That's flattery. I don't Mamish hate the guy, call Shemara Ava Rabba Vichavod Gadl, Yser. Mina MSher Bil Vavo, somebody who gives somebody way more honor than he feels inside. However, Hazal permitted flattery when it comes to Ishto, when a person's wife, Mishum Shalom Bias, for the sake of peace in the home, Ularabo, and for the sake of honoring a Rebbe Kideshilam Denu Torah, so that way you should learn, or that way you should still teach you Torah. And guess what? There isn't uh there's a heter to be machinef to flatterize, flatterize to flatterization, no, to flatter, yeah, to flatter wicked, the wicked people. Why? Because we want to stay alive, we want to be at peace, right? So, you know, you see people quote unquote kissing up to certain politicians or whatever. This isn't I'm not pasking, I'm just saying there is a heter when it comes to um how we deal with rishom because we want to, on a certain level, be on their good side, and so a person's allowed to flatter the wicked people due to keeping with the ways of peace, Dark Ishalam. Okay, wishing you all the best. I hope that you have a fantastic rest of your Sunday, and Mirthashem will pick up and complete this section of Khanupa, Khanifa, flattery, flottery, flattery tomorrow. See you then.
