Rabbi Reuven Kigel - Parashat Tzetaveh

[Music] okay hello everyone so this is par Tava and I want to talk today about the power of you so I'm sh again the power of you so we have three different worlds to live in the most people live in the world of i iPhone it's all about me I want to take take take give me give give me give me how much can I have it's all you don't care about the other person you pretend that you do and if you do something for them it's really just about I it's about me it's about right there's another world the power of we oh let's be all in this together let's uh you know Kumbaya whatever we work we we do we the people also doesn't work great why because inevitably the people who care about themselves The Wolves of the world so to speak take advant of the sheep so the world of we is also in the snow mer so I doesn't work we doesn't work what's the world that works the power of you sh what is mine is yours and also sh what is yours is also yours so everything is about you everything's for the other person that's really the Jewish way now in this a very phenomenal thing happens in all of really every most of the books of the Tah M was mentioned always says says's name often often often this week's para mosha said that he mosha was concerned about us the Jewish people he was always into you so he said Hashem if you're going to take the Jewish people away if you're going to destroy them after Parisa when we sin with the golden calf take me out of the Torah he was so concerned about everyone else he said take me out of the Torah and when sad says something it has to be so Hashem had to take M out of the Torah this par is the only par that we don't have moshe's name starting Froman now incidentally have a son that was born in it just happened to be his name is Mos so Hashem took out moshe's name but how didem refer to mosha so guess what he said at he said he called mosha you because when you say you to someone that is the in some way even greater than saying their name I we don't say like I love John do or Jane do we say I love you because there's nothing like the power of you so if you really want to live your life the Jewish way if you want to be the best husband you could be the best wife you could be the best friend you could be then you have to concentrate on the other person and incidentally I've said this many times the right side is a side of of kindness the left side is the side of judgment and incidentally our heart is on the left side well should our heart be on the side of kindness No it should be on our left side because it's the other person's right side it's all about you have a great [Music] chice
