The Importance of a Good Friend | Pele Yoetz | Hachzek Day 54
Alright, Khefr, let's jump right in. Chavrusa is the name of the new topic for today. Chavrusa means friendship, literally. And let's see what it means to live with friendship. Says the Pelioids, Chavrusa Matoiva. How good is friendship? The answer to that is it's good. How good? It's very good. It's good. A person without a friend is like a left hand without a right hand. Rakshiya Khavertov, on condition that a person should have a friend that's good. Yurailo Kim Vsar Meira, not just an acquaintance in life, but a friend who has Ures Hashem and desists from evil. Kvar Amarabas Tenuzal. The Gemara tells us in Yivamus Sak Darga Bekar Shoshvina. Go up a spiritual level and choose a good person to emulate. Vitovla Gevershilo Khavertov Oivare Shegalo Kalstar. It's good to have a friend who will reveal to you the great secrets of this world. Viz Ya Timon, you could take counsel in him, I'll, or with him, I'll call Davarshirt Lason everything you want to do, to seek advice, a friend who's someone that you could talk to and engage in life with in a serious way. Even if you yourself are incredibly wise, to be able to lower yourself, humble yourself, and take counsel and speak to a friend. And ask for advice. Is anyone greater than a qresh barhu? That's rhetorical. No, nobody's reading the kirchbaru. And it says, What about in the aposent braces of Yamar? Na a sa'adam, let us make man. What does he mean? Let us God is God singular. It's true. Hashem is Yachid Baylama, Hashem is a Yach, but still he consulted with the heavenly angels in the creation of man. That no matter how high somebody might be, you always take counsel with those that are smaller, because often if we're just judging and going based on how we perceive the world, our eyes misread things. Ulufum Khurpa Shabeshta, and then we'll end up making mistakes. Man makes mistakes. If it's not helpful at advice, he's not going to lose out. A person will do what he's what's right in his eyes to do. Vishaninu, it says, Salvation comes from an abundance of advice. I was thinking maybe that's part of the Sagula of learning the Pelayoit, which is filled with an abundance of advice. Maybe it's coming from this pasta. Salvation comes from the abundance of advice. So it's a great opportunity that we have to learn the abundance of advice of the helayot. Umagam La Soik Bidivre Tara Tarh Havarusa. So too, when it comes to learning, tarah. Literally to have a chavrusa, to sharpen each other in the haloch of Yadumarusin's. It's talking about two people, you have an opportunity to learn with somebody, but you're not learning with him, right? You end up learning alone, so you the person could become more foolish as opposed to he learns with somebody else. Okay, a person has to know. Um, you know, in actual practicality, uh, maybe sometimes he will learn better by himself. Okay, speak to your your local orthodox chapter. You have to be able to have somebody in your life that you can learn with and engage in in proper debate, um, seeking out the truth. But there we can turn out talking about people who are just fighting each other and cynical of Rabbi Katagorya, V sinna batakaris, and it's just leading to hatred and competition. In that case, better to not do it at all. If we don't find a good friend, guess what? Your students should be your friends. Shikovar Um, Rabi Plani, Harbi, Lamadi, Reb say, I learned a lot from my Rabam. Umi Khavira, Yo Sar and for my friends, I learnt even more. Umi tal mi dai, Yoisumikulum, but from my Talmidim, I've learned the most. That concludes today.
