A Give and Take Relationship – Terumah 5769 || download audio || sources

Parshat Terumah begins with a curiously worded command to start the building of the Mishkan, the Sanctuary: “Let them take for Me a portion, from every man whose heart motivates him you shall take My portion” (25:2). Since this is a command to donate materials for the building of the Mishkan, it seems contradictory to say “take” rather than give.

Give and take are the two partners in any transaction. If one is always the giver and another the taker, the transaction is lopsided and unfair. It is only when each side both gives and gets that a meaningful relationship can be built. Such is the case, so to speak, of our relationship to Hakodosh Boruch Hu. At Sinai, Hashem was the giver, and we were only takers. With our acceptance of the Torah and the beginning of the building of the Mishkan, we take control of the relationship by our giving and our generosity. Yet through our giving, we receive more than we give.

The key to giving in a way that will reap untold rewards lies in the motivation with which we give. It is not just a dollar amount, but the generosity of spirit that is important. Is my donation for His work, whether for the maintenance of His house or the maintenance of His people, given with the passion of fulfilling His will? Then I will be rewarded by feeling His closeness as I partner with Him. Do I offer a smile and a sense of dignity to those who come knocking on my door for a donation? Then I understand that we are all God’s children, and the beggar is really my own brother. Our mutual Father has entrusted more wealth to me so that I can distribute it to my siblings/ His other children in His stead. It is not my money I am giving, but His.

In this vein, our Rabbis tell us, “More than the homeowner does for the poor man (knocking at his door), the poor man does for the homeowner.” If all the wealth that a man has is only his on loan from the Creator of the world, then the only wealth he takes with him in the end is the wealth he used to help others and do good deeds. This is true both in this temporal world and in the true world to come. Money we give to tzedaka is never spent; it somehow always comes back to us. In fact, some of our unforeseen expenses, (a parking ticket, a home repair, etc.) may be the way Hashem is taking back money we should have given to tzedaka. It never belonged to us to begin with, so Hashem took it away. And Hashem will always replace the money we use for His purposes, but we may not recognize the reward either.

As we enter the month of Adar and anticipate the redemption of the month of Nissan, let us remember what the Prophet says, “And her return will be through tzedaka.” Let us give our tzedaka with a passion and love for Hakodosh Boruch Hu and His people and merit the redemption IY”H this year.

The Whole Truth – Mishpatim 5769 || download audio || sources

While Parshat Mishpatim deals with civil law (as does much of Sefer Shmos) the themes that weave Torah law together are universal and need to be impressed into the soul of every one of us. One of these major themes is the love of truth. This theme is stated even more powerfully as, “Distance yourself from falsehood” (23:6), stay way from any groups of people, places, and ideas that might bring you to fudge the line between truth and falsehood not only outwardly, but even in your thoughts.

Truth is seldom appealingly dressed up. “It is what it is,” we say. Yet we are easily led astray by the trappings of falsehood, by appearances. Whether we believe a better-dressed person over a poorly dressed person, or the handsome gentleman over the plain one, the Yetzer Hora is using our eyes to mask our judgment. We are giving honor and credibility to external factors rather than to the inner truth.

Or the Yetzer Hora uses our egos to entrap us. For example, it will convince us to exaggerate our role in a project to receive greater credit or honor. Our warped reasoning convinces us that we did contribute something to the event, however minimal, and can therefore take credit. Or, we feel if we bring home a large paycheck and can afford luxuries for our families, we are doing the right thing. But we may be sacrificing our relationships with our family and with Hashem, the most valuable of assets, those that are a reflection of the world of Truth, for more hours at the office to create a sham of value.

Hardest of all, perhaps, is to admit our mistakes. This too is necessary if we are to embrace truth and shun falsehood. How much heartache and how many misunderstandings causing strife could be avoided if we could only say, “I’m sorry; I was wrong.”

By being scrupulously truthful and honest, we avoid Falsehood’s partner, Destruction, and bring our neshamas (souls) back to their source from under the Divine Throne, for Hashem’s seal is Truth.

Desiring the Desired – Yitro 5769 || download audio || sources

One of the most prominent aspects of Parshat Yitro is that it contains the Aseret Hadibrot, the Ten Utterances. The first and last of these, "I am the L-rd your G-d," and, "Thou shalt not covet," seem to form bookends to encompass the essence of all ten. How is "Thou shalt not covet" an appropriate summation to this cornerstone of our Judaism? Coveting is one of the most universal of feelings, yet we are told we must rein in this emotion and stop it cold. Contrary to current culture which values total freedom in all we do, say, or even wish, the Torah tells us that the way to true growth is through placing limitations and boundaries on ourselves and rising above them. I once heard a secular, business tape that pointed out that in order to be a true DISCIPLE, one must practice DISCIPLINE, one cannot learn without self control. This is precisely what the Torah teaches us with Matan Torah and with the Aseret Hadibrot. First, set boundaries of time - three days - and of space - around the mountain. Then set boundaries to your beliefs, your actions, and even your emotions. If we can restrain our covetousness, we will come to no other sin.

We are given the opportunity to rise higher than the angels who were hesitant to let Moshe bring the Torah down to earth. We have the opportunity to sanctify everything on earth and, through how we use them, raise ourselves up so that we continue to grow spiritually, as no angel can. But we can only do this if we understand that "Anochi Hashem... "comes first, and all that we have on this earth actually belongs to Him. It is lent to us so that we can use them in our unique mission on earth. In this context, whatever was not given to me is unnecessary for my mission and may in fact be harmful to me, much like taking someone else's prescription. If we can achieve this mindset, we will not fall into the trap of coveting that which belongs to another while failing to appreciate that which we have and can utilize effectively for all our needs. We will also understand that by desiring that which belongs to my neighbor, I am upsetting the equilibrium necessary for the unity of Am Yiroel and may be hindering my fellow from accomplishing his mission.

There are several approaches we can take to overcome covetousness. First, we can put the object of our desire out of our mind and pretend it doesn't exist. Then we can say that it is so beyond our reach that it would be unnatural to continue to desire it, like a peasant wanting to marry a princess. Or, in an about face that renews our pride and dignity, we can reaffirm that we are children of Hashem, princes and princesses, and desiring these insignificant objects is beneath our dignity.

These are the values we want to pass on to our children, the knowledge that each of us has a unique mission on earth and that Hashem has given us each the tools necessary to accomplish our mission, and everything else is extraneous and therefore unworthy of our desire.
