DVAR TORAH

         

 

"LOVE YOUR FELLOW MAN AS YOURSELF, I AM THE ALMIGHTY." (Vayikra 19:18)

" All the days the plague is in him... he shall dwell alone; outside the camp shall his dwelling be." (Vayikra 13:46)

      The Talmud (Shabbos 3la) relates that a non-Jew came to Hillel and said to him, "Convert me on condition that you will teach me the entire Torah while I stand on one foot." Hillel accepted his condition and told him, "What you dislike, do not do to your friend. This is the entire Torah."

     Since Hillel was referring to the commandment of love your neighbor, why didn't he just mention the words of this verse? Rabbi Yeruchem Levovitz explained that this is to teach us an important principle. From the words "love your fellow man" one might think that as long as one feels the emotion of love towards others one fulfills this commandment. But the truth is that just feeling love alone is not sufficient. Rather this love must motivate us to do positive things for others and to refrain from any actions or words that could cause someone any pain or suffering. The Torah definitely requires us to feel deep love for others in our hearts. But even more than that, our behavior towards others must manifest this love. Therefore, Hillel explained to this man that a basic Torah principle is that the same commandment which requires us to have a profoundly positive feeling for others also requires us to behave in an elevated manner in our daily encounters with them.

     It is very easy to just repeat the slogan that we should love others. To actually feel this in your heart is much more difficult. But even after you sincerely feel this love, your entire behavior towards others should be an expression of it. Constantly be on the lookout for acts of kindness you can do for other people. When you look for them, you will constantly find things to do and words to say. Similarly, be very careful not to do anything that will harm others or cause them any pain or suffering. This is a lifelong challenge, but it is a cornerstone of the Torah.

  Rabbi Baruch Ber Leibowitz, Rosh Hayeshiva of Kamenetz, used to say, "When my time will come to stand before the Heavenly court I will be asked, 'What merits do you have?' What will I reply? If I want to say, 'With my Torah,' do I truly have enough Torah? With my fear of Heaven?

Do I really have sufficient fear? There is really only one merit that I can say for myself. I have profound ahavas Yisroel. Whenever I am walking in the street and see someone coming in my direction, I immediately say to myself, 'May this Jew be blessed.'"

     The Chazon Ish would listen patiently to the problems of anyone who came to him. This was quite a feat since people would come to him at all hours of the day and night. A relative of the Chazon Ish was amazed at how he was able to listen to a certain "nudnick" who spoke in a loud tone of voice and in a very long-winded and roundabout manner. The Chazon Ish explained, "A person who owns a mill is used to the noise of the mill. On the contrary, if the mill stopped it would give him a headache."

Rabbi Chaim Koledetzky related to his family how he was a guest at the home of the Chofetz Chaim. The Chofetz Chaim personally made the bed for him and prepared the pillow and blankets. Reb Chaim was startled to see that after preparing the bed the Chofetz Chaim laid down on the bed for a few seconds to check if it would be sufficiently comfortable for his guest. That is the definition of love for another Jew.                                                                                                 

                                       Have a wonderful Shabbos From Rabbi Perelson & Family
