Two Reasons For Visiting the Sick | Pele Yoetz | Hachzek Day 64
Alright, Chevro, welcome back. Hope you had a wonderful day yesterday. Hope your day today is going fantastic. Let's jump right in. And it's a new topic, the topic of Chilah. Chuila Yeshbo Shte Asharos. There are two aspects, two directives as it relates to somebody who is ill, and the Pelot is going to talk about these two ideas Ashara Asaras Achimolava Asar sa al-Atsmo, right? Instructions for others pertaining to him, as well as instructions for a person himself, um, if he himself is sick. So today we're going to discuss instructions for other people as it relates to how they should deal with somebody who is sick. A person will do what he can do in this world and will reap with the reward in the next. If the man who is sick happens to be poor and he can't pay on his own for the what he needs to take care of himself, so then the mitzah biker khum extends beyond just visiting him, but it's actually requiring of a person to uh pay for his stuff or at least facilitate. Either the visitor himself, through his own funds, should pay, or he should facilitate and encourage others to contribute. Is so unbelievable in this regard. She's not ear the ear, Medino, Medina in every single city and country, machim, bimitzvah zoo. We um have this mitzvah biker cholum taking care of the sick as a priority. There's organizations, there's assemblies and khil and vim and they do kindness with those who are sick, with those who have passed away to provide um with payments, with food, with burial situations, whatever it might be. We have organizations that help us out. If the sick man or the family of the deceased, they're of lesser means, these organizations will readily help them and give them what they need. Zakoa Khul Kahon, their portion is truly a great merit. Aval mitzus bikerchalum he refuya. However, says the Paleoids, the mitzvah bikerchalum, of visiting the sick, of actually going to their homes or their hot the hospital, wherever, that is lacking, he says, in our generation. Again, he's writing this 200 years ago. He says, in contrast, right, if you have a wealthy person who's not seen in the market for like a day, he has a headache or something like that, people are gonna go to him, take of Rabnul Chazanaslo, people this is a rich guy, and people people know they want to be his friend, etc. But what happens to those who are not as fortunate? If the poor man falls ill, then who's gonna visit him? No one even knows about him. Well, Maya Saba, what's gonna become to help him? Shalfi goidal ha mitzvah, because relative to the greatness and for this particular mitzvah, Hayitzahar Miskaberla Adam Mitzhar is so strong that he doesn't want us to get the ultimate reward that we would get by fulfilling this mitzvah. Because in truth, besides for fulfilling this mitzvah, there's another purpose of visiting the sect, besides for the apparentness of a Pikorkhil, and what else is being um what else is happening when we visit the sect. Person is not just dovening on his behalf, but he's actually becoming a better human being in the process. He's thinking about life, he's thinking about his possible shortcomings, he's gonna do teshuva. He could he realized that oh my gosh, he too can become in that place, that his life also can become one where he is also sick. And he's gonna tap into the mitzvah, realizing one mitzu leads into the next. When he notices the suffering of his fellow Jew and he sees that he's um in poverty, Yemu Meav Lor Rachim Rachimeno, he will sympathize deeply with him, and he's gonna take pity on him. He's gonna give charity, he's gonna pay for what he needs, relative to the blessings that Kurdish Burk has bestowed upon him. That's what he will give. Then him to Duk Vikha said and emerges, he's living a life of pursuing righteousness and kindness. Um the Pasuk, which talks about finding life, righteousness, and honor. Well, continue to Sham with the section of Khilah. Um tomorrow, wishing you a wonderful rest of your day. Everyone should be rest blessed with health and happiness. All the best.
