Okay, everybody, welcome back to the Lech Teich Moser podcast. We continue with the Basilevia and Ahavas. Yisrael Perek Dalet, chapter 4. Yisrael v'chim ed ha-sina, the prohibition and severity of hatred. Terrible thing, v'imchaliv l'nisar b'yid sina. If God forbid, there is aroused in a person hatred. Mevad she mevav to mitzvah se. Now we're going to talk about how, how terrible and disgusting this is. Besides violating a mitzvah that says to love every yid over Gamalav, he also transgresses the prohibitive commandment you shall not hate your brother in your heart, which is among the most terrible sins in the entire Torah. Asha'amu parak be'is dav'avis be'sin es abri'as me'itzi'en es ha'adam ina'ilu mar'chmanu l't. The people of Siddaim. It was because of their hatred One another that Hashem destroyed them from this world and the next world. And because of baseless hatred, as we know, the base Hamikdash was destroyed. The first base Hamikdash was destroyed for the three cardinal sins, but during the second era of the Bais HaMegdash, when they were occupied with Torah Mitzvot and Chesed. So why was it destroyed? Because of baseless hatred that was prevalent in that generation. And this tells us that baseless hatred, sinos chinim, is equivalent to the three transgressions that we've mentioned before of Gilrayesh, shfichas, damim and Havodizara. Because if the first base of Migdash was destroyed because of those three and during the second base of Migdash we rectified those three. But we did something else, which is sin is we see how grave and terrible sin is, and sometimes it's hard to work on this and to see the good and greatness in every Yid. But we can only imagine that sin of Sikhinim is worse than the three cardinal sins, and how great is the Havah Sikhinim. Let us not forget that.

Moving on to Parak Hay, chapter 5. I am Hashem, chapter 5. I am Hashem. I am Hashem With a major oath. Was this commandment I am Hashem, who created If you love him, I can be trusted to give you a reward, and if you do not show him love, I am a judge of the exact payment. What does that mean?

The whole mitzvah is predicated and dependent on the heart, which is something no person can discern. Only the Ebbish that knows really what you're feeling, what you're doing, your inner thoughts and how you treat other people. And therefore Hashem has a special place, kaviyachal, that he pays from. For the people that think Hashem doesn't know, he doesn't know what I'm doing behind the scenes, this is something that's a matna b'seser again in the Inyanim of Purim. There's no greater mitzvah of Matan and B'seser giving behind the back door, and Hashem also. We have to remember he doesn't forget anything, nothing goes under the radar and Hashem is going to be to fulfill and to give reward to those who fulfill this mitzvah, the gamnis bar-lan medivir, b'shem ben al-lazer, lalu. In addition, from these words over b'shem ben al-lazer, we also see tam lachrimer ha also see the reason for the severity of this Isr.

For after Hashem creates man and loves him and calls him my son, my firstborn, this is talking about every single Yid.

This also reminds us how important every single Yid is. Every single creation is created by the Eber Shlom himself, and if Hashem is invested in him, then we have to realize that, we have to internalize that and realize that we have to give our all to love every single yid. How can a person ever have the audacity, how can a person even possibly hate the children and beloved ones of Hashem? How can a person even possibly hate the children and beloved ones of Hashem? When one hates his child and his beloved one, it is as if he hates Hashem. As the Gemara in Sanhedrin tells us, anyone who slaps the cheek of his friend, it is as if he slaps the cheek of the Divine. So if anyone doesn't act properly, if anyone can't find a place in their heart to love Hashem's creation, it's as if it's the greatest demonstration of not loving Hashem Himself. Because every yid is a tsalm al-akim. Every yid has part of God, a divine image within themselves, and if we can't find a place to love them, we can't find a place to love Hashem Himself.
