Halvaah 5 – Toayn veNitan 1 – Avraham Avinu – When a Tzaddik Borrows – Loans – Good Days and Bad Days – Tikkun Loshon HaKodesh – Purity of Speech – 2 Are Better Than 1 – Taking an Oath in Beis Din – Parshas Ki Savo – Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
Hilkhos Halvaah 5 is based on Likutey Moharan 33.
00:00 – Avraham Avinu. When a tzaddik borrows, he facilitates blessing.
04:30 – שִׁ֣תִי לִבֵּ֔ךְ לַֽמְסִלָּ֖ה דֶּ֣רֶךְ הָלָ֑כְתְּ – “…put your heart to the highway, the road upon which you went…” (Yirmiyah 31:20).
06:00 – PARAGRAPH 6. כִּ֣י מְ֖בֹֽרָכָיו יִ֣ירְשׁוּ אָ֑רֶץ וּ֜מְקֻלָּלָ֗יו יִכָּרֵֽתוּ – “For those blessed by Him will inherit the Land, and those cursed by Him will be cut off” (Tehillim 37:2)
08:00 – מֵֽיְהֹוָה מִֽצְעֲדֵי־גֶ֥בֶר כּוֹנָ֗נוּ וְדַרְכּ֥וֹ יֶחְפָּֽץ – “From HaShem a mighty man’s steps are established, for He delights in his pathway” Tehillim 37:23.
***09:00 – The deeper meaning of “…for He delights in his pathway”. When a person stumbles but picks himself up, his path has a new light and he has new power.
*13:00 – Parshas Ki Savo. וְהִלְוִ֨יתָ֙ גּוֹיִ֣ם רַבִּ֔ים וְאַתָּ֖ה לֹ֥א תִלְוֶֽה – “…And you will lend many nations, but you will not [need to] borrow” (Devarim 28:12, Ki Savo).
15:00 – Q&R about Avraham Avinu’s debts.
***17:00 – Q&R about “Good Days and Bad Days”.
18:00 – HILKHOS TOAYN veNITAN 1. Hilkhos Toayn veNitan 1 is based on Likutey Moharan 19.
19:00 – Tikkun Loshon HaKodesh – purity of speech.
26:00 – הָֽאִשָּׁה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָתַ֣תָּה עִמָּדִ֔י הִ֛וא נָֽתְנָה־לִּ֥י מִן־הָעֵ֖ץ וָֽאֹכֵֽל – “…The woman whom You gave [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree; so I ate” (Bereishis 3:12, Bereishis). Adam HaRishon’s lack of appreciation to HaShem resulted in his denial of guilt. Instead, he blamed Chava for his sin.
***34:00 – אַחַת נִשְׁבַּ֣עְתִּי בְקָדְשִׁ֑י – “One thing have I sworn by My holiness…” (Tehillim 89:36). Oaths are an aspect of Loshon HaKodesh.
41:00 – טוֹבִ֥ים הַשְּׁנַ֖יִם מִן־הָֽאֶחָ֑ד אֲשֶׁ֧ר יֵֽשׁ־לָהֶ֛ם שָׂכָ֥ר ט֖וֹב בַּֽעֲמָלָֽם – “טוֹבִ֥ים הַשְּׁנַ֖יִם מִן־הָֽאֶחָ֑ד אֲשֶׁ֧ר יֵֽשׁ־לָהֶ֛ם שָׂכָ֥ר ט֖וֹב בַּֽעֲמָלָֽם” (Koheles 4:9). 2 are better than 1. Two people acting in partnership are protected from negative forces, when either one alone would be vulnerable.
45:00 – A person who takes an oath attaches his speech to holiness.
47:00 – Rabbinic precept that every alleged borrower must take an oath in Beis Din.
50:00 – Q&R about how to understand people justifying their wrongdoing against another. “Respect and suspect.”
