RAV BRAZIL PARSHAS KI SEITZEI ‫תשפ"ד‬ THE SHOFAR – CURING THE NEUROPATHY OF THE SOUL The parsha begins with the passuk ‫כי תצא למלחמה על אויבך ונתנו ה' אלקיך בידיך ושבית שביו‬ when you will go out to wage war with your enemies and Hashem will deliver them into your hands and you take captives etc. If one's focus and drive are on numbers, it usually follows that such a pursuit of higher numbers will cause numbness in the quality of your life, your relationship with Hashem and your family which all become sacrificed while attaining your goal. ‫עורו ישנים משנתכם ונרדמים הקיצו מתרדמתכם וחפשו במעשיכם וחזרו בתשובה וזכרו בוראכם אלו‬ ‫השוכחים את האמת בהבלי הזמן ושוגים כל שנתם בהבל וריק אשר לא יועיל ואל יציל הביטו‬ ‫לנפשותיכם והטיבו דרכיכם ומעלליכם ויעזוב כל אחד מכם דרכו הרעה ומחשבתו אשר לא טובה‬ To paraphrase, the shofar is a wake - up call for people who are mentally and intellectually asleep in a deep slumber. It is then that Hashem promises that He will give you the Siyatah Dishmaya to finish the teshuvah process ‫ הפושט יד לשבים‬to the point that the end of the passuk says ‫ ונתנו ה' אלקיך בידיך ושבית שביו‬that He will give over to you the enemy to take him as a prisoner under your control. Shabbos like the shofar stirs us to be awakened from our "sleep" ‫התעוררי התעוררי כי בא‬ ‫אורך קומי אורי‬ In the ‫ במה מדליקין‬that minhag Ashkanaz recites before Maariv we say the obligation ‫למשמש‬ ‫ בבגדיו‬to check one's clothing lest he unknowingly might be carrying something in his pocket. Mishlei 1,32 ‫ כי משובת פתים תהרגם ושלות כסילים תאבדם‬the Vilna Gaon explains that an individual who is a ‫ פתי‬lacks yiras shamayim and he allows himself to be seduced by the yetzer hara which is a terrorist out to kill him. ‫איזהו חכם‬ The blowing of the shofar arouses a fear in the listener, enough to wake him from his sleeping on the job in order to reassess his life and how he is drowning in this world of temptation and momentary pleasures. In most culture success in life is measured by numbers, salary amount, number of cars, yachts, houses, exotic vacation
