The Reward For Ahavas Yisrael

A CRIPPLED BODY AND A WORKING HEART

Rabbi Menachem Zev Greenglass visited someone who had learned in yeshiva in his youth and then went off the derech. He spoke to him and urged him to do mitzvos but the man said that the Baal Shem Tov explained that the main thing is a Jew’s heart, “And I have a warm Jewish heart –what do I need mitzvos for?”

R’ Greenglass answered with a mashal: A person was in a serious car accident as a result of which his arms and legs did not work, he was blind in one eye and so on. Perhaps he was even in a coma, but his heart was still working. Would we be satisfied that he has a working heart? Only to a limited extent. Obviously, we would want the rest of his limbs to work properly and would be sad about his pathetic condition.

The same is true in the nimshal. The main significance of a Jewish heart is expressed in his mitzva observance.

(Parshiyos im ha’Rebbe Bamidbar p. 125)

THE REWARD FOR AHAVAS YISRAEL

In the Rebbe Rayatz’s famous “langeh briv”, he describes the trip of Reb Mordechai HaTzaddik, one of the Baal Shem Tov’s disciples, to bring close to Chassidus his friend from youth Reb Chaim Porush: On Motzoei Yom Kippur, several months after Reb Mordechai had begun succeeding

in his mission, he spoke in the town’s “grave diggers’ shul” in a gathering that attracted many of the towns people.

Reb Mordechai’s lecture comparing mitzvos without their inner intent to a body without a soul affected Reb Chaim greatly.

Having sat for so many years in the grave diggers’ Beis Medrash, and having attended so many funerals (may we be spared), an image of the faces of several corpses had remained engraved upon his mind. Now when Reb Mordechai compared study without vitality to a corpse without a soul, and he spoke about the cemetery of the dead pages of Gemara that they had studied, Reb Chaim was deeply moved.

In his imagination he pictured the cemetery for the pages of the Gemara, and a chevra kadisha of angels performing the funeral rites for the dead pages. As Reb Mordechai continued speaking, Reb Chaim, lost in the crowd and crammed among the people, continued to weep.

The more Reb Mordechai spoke words of arousal, the more bitterly Reb Chaim cried. When Reb Mordechai reached the part about “take pity on yourselves and on your own souls, that have entered your bodies to perfect the world around you ... bathe yourselves ... purify yourselves,” Reb Chaim began weeping violently; this made a deep impact upon all who were present in the Beis Medrash.

(The Making of Chassidim Ch. 7)

Beyond Speech

The Righteous Person's Hidden Gift

By Rabbi Yitzi Hurwitz

The Torah tells of a home inflicted with tzaraat, a spiritual infliction that took the form of green or red patches on the walls of a home.

What was the cause of this tzaraat? Rashi explains that hundreds of years after Canaanites hid gold in the walls of their homes, the tzaraat would show up on these homes. To purify the home, the walls with tzaraat had to be demolished, revealing the gold within.

The Zohar explains that only a small number of Canaanites hid gold in their walls. While most of them were resigned to G-d’s plan to give the land of Canaan to the people of Israel, there were those who were not. These consisted of Canaanites deeply steeped in idolatry and morally depraved even by Canaanite standards. They hid their gold in their walls with the plan to one day come back and expel the Israelites from the land.

Since the impurities of idolatry of most of the Canaanite homes were superficial, they were dispelled when a Torah-observant Israelite would enter and start doing mitzvahs. The walls of the homes of the deeply depraved, soaked in the impurities, took the presence of a very holy person to extract the impurities. G-d arranged that only the holiest people moved into these homes. The impurities would come out in the form of tzaraat, the house would be demolished, and the gold would be found.

What lesson are we to take from the holy person in a house inflicted with tzaraat?

We all find ourselves in situations that at first glance seem like a punishment—just like a holy person who finds tzaraat on his home. You could rightfully think: “What have I done to deserve this?” But with time and trust in G-d, that He knows best, you will find that it is all to reward you with a treasure. The same is true when you find yourself hit with a devastating blow; you must realize that G-d put you into this situation—just like a holy person in a damaged house. Only you have the ability to extract the good from the predicament and reveal the treasure within.

Before I was born, my parents were blessed with a special-needs child, my brother Shalom. With great love, my parents included him in everything we did. I grew up loving him as they did, and doing things with him all the time. I would get teased a lot, and it hurt. But I think my relationship with Shalom made me into the person I am today. Now I think, what a treasure, what a gift, to grow up this way.

Of course, this is only when dealing with difficult predicaments; sometimes, G-d hands us a blow that is utterly devastating, for example, the loss of a loved one. What treasure could be found in this situation? Even if there is positive, it doesn’t take away the pain. In this case, all we can do is accept Hashem’s will, and with His help, the pain will lessen in time.

With all this said, it is time for Moshiach to come and put this discussion to rest.
