Matos: Why Rebbi Akiva Cried! When One Is Accountable For Bad Intention

Okay, good morning everyone. Shalom. I want to share with you a very uh amazing question on paras matis. The puk describes a woman who made a nether. We're learning and the husband was made for the nether unbeknownst to the woman. So it says so the woman made a nether. She's never going to eat bagels. She answers bagels to herself. She says uh um harai bagels carbon fine. Um unbeknownst to her, the husband didn't like that. So he enolled the vow. Meanwhile, she came to the share Sunday morning and she was just completely overwhelmed by the smell of the bagel. So while nobody was looking, she dashed to the bagels, took a bagel and downed three bagels. Now as far as she was concerned she was violating the nether but she wasn't because the husband know the nether. So it says isah the husband know the nether but hashem will give her atonement. So the question is why does she need atonement apparently even though she wasn't actually doing an a but she thought she was doing an aa. So from here we see that if you do an aa in kavana even though in misa you're not doing an aa you need you need kapara. So Gar Nazer famously says when would get to the bashaka would cry. Rabika would say somebody who intended to eat a kazir and ate lamb chops needs kapara. Certainly someone who intended to eat khazer and ate khazer should certainly need kapara. Whenever rebika would get to this pik he would cry. By the way, Rabel would say, why why would Rabi Aka cry? Because Raba according to many, he's the gilgal of Shine, you know. Now, they intended to sin, but they didn't actually sin because it turned out it was good for Y, but they tried to harm him. And from here, we learn that you're going to be punished even for intentions. Fine, that's the garra that when Raka came to this Pik, he would cry. From here we learn out that a person needs even for not only from Isa. So in the true you ever hear of the true one of the classics is he had a brother called the true. So the asks you're punished for the says doesn't punish for only Hashem is but for a Jew a person that's punished for so what's the in But yeah, that's the So he says an amazing answer. He says, "What's the reason why in general doesn't punish for bad thoughts?" Right? If somebody planned to sin and didn't sin, what's the reason why Hashem ordinarily would not punish? Because by yidden, we say just because he planned to do it, who said he would have done it? Probably he would have done chuva. probably he never would have done the act. He never in the end he would have got a grip of himself and he never would have done the a he never would have come to it by a gentile we say no they don't they don't uh they don't have the purity that they would have prevented themselves if they if they would have planned if they planned to sin even if they didn't get around to it they would have done it by we say they wouldn't have done it yeah but in this kind of case he did do it he would have done it how do we know he would have done it cuz he ate it in other words somebody thought I'm going to eat a kazer. And he didn't realize it wasn't a kazer. It was cholant. It was cholant from whatever from seasons or something. So you can't say nah, he never would have got around to it. He did get around to it. He did the ma. He just didn't think the ma was a problem. Normally we says because we could say he wouldn't have done the ma. But in this kind of scenario we see he did do the msa. You do need kapara for improper makshaba. That's the true masak on paras. And uh I want to bring to your attention another very interesting topic.
