Выпуск: The Beis Medrash — medrash — Eikev 5783. Темы: не определены автоматически. If my approach to mitzvos, Dovid Hamelech worried, is logical, then maybe Hashem will also act with me according to logic, and there’s room to fear that I won’t always be worthy in days of misfortune. Chazal explain that the word ‫ עקב‬can also be translated as “heel” and the passuk thus means: If you will heed the minor commandments which one [usually] tramples with his heels. He was certain that he fulfilled even the simple mitzvos, but he wasn’t certain if he did them with the same level of reverence and dedication as the more severe mitzvos. The granddaughters of the Rebbe Rashab had a teacher who believed that children should only be taught matters in Torah which they could understand and process logically. The Baalei HaTosafos explain that this is referring to where a person literally tramples carelessly over a mitzvah, for example, on the strings of his tzitzis. When asked why he had rejected the other bachur, who was clearly a ben Torah, the Chasam Sofer explained that it had nothing to do with his level of learning. B”H THE HEAL TOES THE LINE Eikev Rabbi Mordechai Lipskier Two bachurim came to the Chasam Sofer for an interview to be accepted to his illustrious yeshiva. When these two bachurim approached the yeshiva, they walked past the area where the sukkah had stood and where the s’chach was still lying on the floor. Stories of tzadikim and of miracles and the supernatural all help ingrain these ideas in our children and build this foundation. But if my commitment to Hashem transcends logic, then I can be sure that Hashem’s treatment, too, will transcend what I deserve.
