Shoftim: Will A Very Smart Person Be Affected By a Bribe - The Chofetz Chaim's Dramatic Insight

breath. >> Okay. Good morning everyone. Let's say like this. You hear a guy said Barl. Wow. Barrel is so smart. Barrel is the sharpest smartest guy I know. Now if you want to know whether fial is actually smart or not the fact that barrel said his he's smart is irrelevant how smart is barl if barl himself is a fact that he said fial is smart doesn't mean anything because according to barl barrel has an IQ the uh you know a little bit more than a common uh cat that walks down the So the fact he said five is a yeah to him he's a he's not actually a or let's say like this Ruv says on Shine Shim he's so rich he's so rich that's what Ruin says about Shim the only way you can know how rich Shimine is is to figure out how rich Ruvane is because if Ruvane is an Aramman if Ruvane is so then uh big deal Ruvane said about Shim that he's rich compared to Ruvane Shim Shimon is rich. Now if let's say Rothschild's Gabi told you Shimon is rich then you can know Shiman is probably very rich. The same thing says when it comes to wisdom just because somebody says this guy is very smart it has no meaning unless you know how smart the complimenttor is. But if you heard Rabbi Kbear said he's smart. If you hear Rabiar said someone is smart, probably the guy is very smart. By the way, from here we learn how smart Rabikar is because when the is trying to give an example of somebody who is very smart from the last 3,000 years, the person the chose as a wasar was Rabikar. The didn't, you know, that's very telling. In the last 1,000 years, the person chose as a was then the says, "And if the Ram told you that somebody's smart, then obviously the guy must be really smart." What if said, "You see Barl, you see Fial, you see uh you see Zulan. Wow, he's so smart." Then you know this guy is really smart. What if would say you know this guy he's really sharp now we're talking says imagine if told you that this and this person was a and even so if he gets one penny of benefit the Tory says he has no reliability you can't trust him with a nickel the moment someone stands to gain money they are no longer uh believable then you could take it to the bank that you cannot trust somebody if any money is involved. Therefore says the is telling you here is not who you think is here means even really sharp people Albert Einstein thera the Torah is saying that it doesn't matter who it is as soon as this is relevant to their money their livelihood their institution They have no believability whatsoever. That's what it means. says not says that's why by the way let's say somebody tells you you should vote for ply or the only thing is py and is going to give money to their institution they have no believability they're not neon they're no longer neon cuz now money is involved. You cannot believe somebody when they have when they stand to gain ailu a dollar. Not only a dollar even let's you know what I have in my pocket now I have something less than a dollar see this coin see this coin 10 agarot you know what 10 agarot is worth I don't even know if it's worth a penny a penny there's no by the way there's no such thing as a penny anymore there's no such thing now when I went to the airport last night and I bought a drink and the chain change was they're supposed to give me they were supposed to give me I was supposed to give them 11 shekel 12 shekel and 10 agarot no 12 shekel and 20 aarot they were mo the 20 aarot now we're talking about an airport where if they pocket even one koshu it's a federal offense that's because 20 aarot has no value and even so if the biggest that you know stands to gain even 10 agarot and you have a shila for them you need to ask somebody else really where does it say that it's a in this week's para okay have a great day everyone [snorts] and uh thank you for all those who we had a very nice showing uh in we had a very nice showing of the thank you everybody have a great Okay, CTV. >> Thank you. Have a nice day, everyone. >> Recording stop.
