Today's daf is sponsored by Elisheva Gray in loving memory of Gidi Nahshon, z''l, Yoel Melech ben Moshe v'Sarah, on his tenth yahrzeit. "Gidi was a wonderful mentor, friend and chevruta. He made Aliyah to Israel from Prague and was in the IDF during both the 1967 and Yom Kippur wars. I feel his presence in my Daf Yomi studies every day, and I am grateful that he passed on to me his d'vekut for Israel and for Torah. May his neshama have an aliyah." Today's daf is sponsored by Miri Darchi in loving memory of her father Aharon Shimon ben David and Malka Tzirel. Abaye raises a difficulty against Rabba's position, that males before reaching maturity cannot father a child, from a verse in the Torah regarding a man who engages in relations with a shifcha harufa. The drasha on that verse includes a male over the age of nine. However, the difficulty is resolved, as this is not an indicator that the child can impregnate a woman at that age. Another difficulty is raised against Rabba from a braita of Rabbi Yishmael that derives an exemption for a ben sorer u'moreh who himself is a father - how could he be a father if he did not impregnate the woman before reaching maturity, since according to Rabbi Kruspedai, there is only a three-month window after reaching maturity to be a ben sorer u'moreh? This is resolved as well by explaining Rabbi Yishmael's drasha as the source for Rabbi Kruspedia's ruling - the three months is based on the fact that the child could potentially be called a father within three months of reaching maturity as his wife could become pregnant and would be showing it after the first three months. Rabbi Kruspedai's opinion is based on the majority of women who give birth at nine months and begin showing at three months and doesn't consider a woman who gives birth at seven months and would be showing at two and a third months. Could this prove that woman who gives birth at seven months also begins showing at three months and not at a third of her pregnancy (two and a third months)? This suggestion is rejected as he follows the majority. However, is that really true? This contradicts the concept that in capital law we try to find any possible way to exonerate the accused from the verse "and the congregation shall save." Two Mishnayot are brought to prove that we do follow the majority even in capital cases, but the second one is rejected as it can be explained differently. Beit Shamai and Beit Hillel disagree about a mother who has an incomplete sexual encounter with her minor son. Does this disqualify her from marrying a kohen, as she could be considered a zona from the interaction? Rav Chisda (either quoted someone else or he was quoted by someone else) explains that they all agree if the child was nine, that she would become disqualified, and if he was younger than eight, then she would not. Their disagreement is about a child who is between eight and nine, as in the days of the Tanach men were able to father children at eight, even though already in the time of the tannaim, this was no longer the situation. The debate is whether we learn from those times or follow what is true presently. What is the source that in the times of the Tanach men fathered children at age eight? At first, they try to prove from Shlomo, as his great grandfather Achitofel was twenty-six years older than him. However, this proof is rejected, as the lineage includes Bat-Sheva who was a woman and she could have been younger, and the men were older. The second attempt is brought from Avraham and Sara, but this is rejected as well as it is not clear whether Avraham was older than Sara's father, Haran or younger. The final proof comes from Bezalel who was the great-grandson of Caleb, who was twenty-six years older than him. If two years are deducted due to three pregnancies, then the remainder of the twenty-four years prove that each father was eight years old at the birth of his son. Why are girls exempted from being a ben sorer u'moreh?

Taboo to Truth: Unapologetic Conversations About Sexuality in Midlife
I had the great pleasure of welcoming Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, certified sex therapist, and the author of "Satisfaction Guaranteed: How to Have the Sex You've Always Wanted," to the show. Bat Sheva has dedicated her career to empowering women to find pleasure in their bodies and spirit by combining medical and psychological approaches to women's sexual health. Having met Bat Sheva years ago when she was my doctor, I credit her with starting me on my journey to openly discuss sexuality, a topic often shrouded in silence.Our conversation delved into the complexities of maintaining a healthy sex life, especially as we age and navigate the inevitable changes that come with long-term relationships. Batsheva emphasized the importance of debunking myths around sex, advocating for a proactive approach to addressing sexual issues, rather than succumbing to the hopelessness that can arise when sex and intimacy issues remain unaddressed.We discussed how societal expectations and personal experiences shape our understanding of sex, highlighting the need for communication and effort in rekindling intimacy. Addressing sexual challenges requires acknowledging that sex and relationship dynamics can evolve, emphasizing that solutions are often within reach with the right guidance and willingness to explore. Through our discussion, it became clear that addressing sexual health is not just about enhancing personal relationships but also about fostering a deeper sense of self-awareness and satisfaction.Learn more about Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus hereFollow Bat Sheva on InstagramFollow Bat Sheva on Tik Tok*this podcast is not intended to give medical advice.

Kim and Dr. Jenni continue their conversation with Dr. Bat Sheva about sex and hormones, and how hormones play an integral part in a healthy sex life. We also talk about how to use them, where to put them, and the differences between them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The video of this episode is at https://brucechalmer.com/when-do-annoyances-become-deal-breakers/. A few episodes back we talked about the magic key that solves all relationship problems (not too grandiose, right?), which involves the ability to tolerate annoyance from others without getting into full-blown panic. This idea (also discussed in Dr. Chalmer's Newsletter) prompted a listener to ask us about how to tell when annoyances have risen to the level of destructive. We talk about the nuances of that question, and how our listener and others in her situation might handle that dilemma. At around minute 52, we give a shout-out to Bat Sheva Marcus, a sex therapist we've had on the show twice in the past. Hi, Bat Sheva! Do you have ideas for topics or guests for our podcast?

Building a successful startup takes more than just a great product idea and a talented team. It also requires careful management of resources, effective decision-making, and a thorough understanding of the market and competition. In this episode, Shelly Hod Moyal shares her insights on venture capital and investing strategies, addressing key concepts like managing dilution and diversification, balancing personal investing requirements with potential returns, and determining whether a deal is a good deal. Learn how to maximize returns and manage risks in venture capital investing with expert advice from Shelly Hod Moyal, co-founder and co-CEO of iAngels.About Our GuestShelly Hod Moyal is a finance and investing expert, having built her career on Wall St. prior to co-founding iAngels. As the co-CEO, she works with global investors to invest in some of Israel's best startups. As a GP and Kellogg MBA alumna, Shelly holds numerous board positions and is actively involved in bringing value to iAngels portfolio companies. Living in Tel Aviv, Shelly and her husband have 4 children, and as a passionate art aficionado, Shelly is a member of Yedidim at Bat Sheva and Tel Aviv Museum of Art, as well as Laniado HospitalHere are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Defining venture capital Managing dilution and diversification Balancing personal investing requirements with potential returns Determining allocation to a down round Discerning if a deal is a good deal Offsetting the write-offs Episode Highlights:[08:43] What is Venture Capital and How It WorksAs an investor, investing in different rounds of a company involves taking different risks and potentially earning different returns. The earlier the round, the more risk and potential for high reward there is. Dilution is a common issue that requires reinvestment to maintain ownership percentage. Venture capital investments are illiquid and require a long-term mindset that entails holding onto the investment until the company goes public or gets acquired to receive returns. To protect ownership percentage, anti-dilution provisions can be negotiated.[12:38] Managing Dilution and Diversification in Venture Capital InvestingVenture capital investing requires a careful consideration of dilution and diversification to minimize risk and maximize returns. Each round of funding dilutes your percentage of ownership by approximately 25-30%, and investing in individual companies carries a high failure rate. Building a diversified portfolio and keeping funds available for follow-on investments can help manage these risks. It's important to remain defensive in situations where you need to protect your investments and to invest in around 20 companies to reduce risk.[18:21] Balancing Personal Investing Requirements With Potential ReturnsInvestors may agree with the value of a company but choose not to invest based on their personal investing requirements, risk tolerance, and potential for returns. It's common for angel investors to stop investing when the valuation becomes too high or if they are already heavily invested in a particular opportunity. Ultimately, the decision to continue investing in a venture capital opportunity requires weighing the potential risks and returns against your investment goals.

Kellie and Mel talk with Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, an internationally recognized sex therapist, a certified bariatric coach, and a bariatric patient herself. She offers loads of insight and validation for why you may feel awkward about sex after you have weight loss surgery. The discussion begins with why the act of sex is important, both emotionally and physically, why planning or scheduling sex is normal, and how to mentally “get in the mood” to have sex with your partner. The conversation goes deeper into how hormones, medications, and bariatric surgery can impact your desire and arousal. Dr. Bat Sheva stresses that feeling sexy or being sexual has nothing to do with your size. She talks about how to reclaim your sexiness and accept that your partner does think you're sexy. They answer questions submitted by the audience addressing how stimulation and achieving orgasm may change after bariatric surgery, feeling wanted by your partner, and complicated emotions that can arise in relationships and how they may change over time with your partners. Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus is a wealth of knowledge and information, and OSLP looks forward to having her back again soon to dive deeper into many of the topics discussed. She can be found on her website at www.drbatsheva.com and on her Instagram. Her book, Satisfaction Guaranteed: Have the Sex You've Always Wanted, can be found in the OSLP Amazon store.

From her 25+ years as the Clinical Director and CEO of one the largest sexual health centers in the US, she delivers common sense solutions to things most of us struggle with in making sex an easy and enjoyable part of our lives.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus (again!) to talk about sex and how to have a thriving sex life. We outline how little people know about what contributes to positive libido and desire (so they don't know what they were doing right) and then have NO IDEA what is getting in the way when their desire or drive changes. This feeling of a lack of control leaves people feeling powerless and like the solution lives outside of themselves. This episode is for you if you are curious about How to learn the difference between arousal and desire. How to use your erotic brain, even if you've been married for 25 years. Why crumbs on the counter and full dishwasher ruin your libido in your 50s, and not your 20s. How to think about the complexity of libido and sex, with SIMPLE solutions. If you want to know if we prefer Speed Keanu Reeves or The Matrix Keanu Reeves ;) Bat Sheva explains the factors that give you ‘points' (fantasy, connection and hormone levels) and ‘take points' away (some medications, fatigue, pain and more). This episode is a great way to start to explore this part of your health and get some ideas for how to change. Here's more about our guest, and how you can grab her book, Satisfaction Guaranteed: How to have the sex you've always wanted. Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, a certified sex therapist, is the author of Satisfaction Guaranteed: How To Have the Sex You've Always Wanted. She has spent her life dedicated to bridging the gap between the medical and the psychological in women's sexual health.

Their mission is to end fear and stigma and allow others to find their optimal level of sexual wellness. Host, Mariah, wants to save others from being 'salty' about their lack of sex education. ABOUT THE TEAM: Mariah (she/her) grew up in a strict religious home and the sex education she got was abstinence-only sex education in school. She was raised Mormon, where sex is not openly talked about and heavily shrouded in shame and feelings of “unworthiness”. Mariah is a Certified Health Education Specialist and a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach with a graduate degree in Health Education. She is taking her educational background and personal experience to share positive, empowering, and entertaining messages around sex, sexuality, relationships, and all things sex-related. Her mission is to minimize the fear and stigma around those things and create more awareness and understanding for others to reach their optimal sexual wellness. Mariah is bisexual and has been happily married to her husband for 12 years. The two of them are raising 3 wonderful kids with their sweet dog, Daisy. Mariah currently works full-time as an educator for an online university, adjuncts for another local university, and runs her coaching business, Balance Your Wellness. Brady (he/ him) was born and raised in Utah and with the combination of a nurse for a mom and the prevalence of love lines on late night radio he realized early on that the sex education he was getting didn't tell the whole story. With a brief background in radio and a passion for projects, he joined Salty Sex Cast shortly after it started, which bloomed into the creation of Murdershack Studios (murdershackstudios@gmail.com) while Brady loves to joke he is really passionate about learning more and more and growing his understanding toward his fellow human beings.

David - after the Bat Sheva affair - recognizes that his system needs an infusion from a higher source, and he cannot do it alone.
In contrast to Saul, when David is confronted by the prophet he takes responsibility for what he had done. The son born to Bat-Sheva is afflicted and dies, as Nathan's prophecies begin to be fulfilled. David completes the conquest of Ammon.
No amount of clothing could make Dovid warm, "An imposter king stole your throne," Dovid was informed. Bat Sheva was promised that Shlomo would reign, And the Davidic Dynasty would forever remain!
In this bonus podcast episode I talk with Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, who is an Orthodox Jewish therapist, writer, author, and speaker who specializes in sexuality. She is also the author of Sex Points.Though we come from different religious backgrounds, our faith traditions have many similarities, especially when it comes to talking about sex.Dr. Bat Sheva tells me about how sexuality was taught when she was growing up, how the teaching she learned about sexuality as a child affected her as an adult, how women can work through the messages that purity culture teaches, and more. We also discuss how important communication is, how to reduce sexual shame, and how to develop desire.Have you ever thought, “I want to ask Dr. Julie Hanks a question”? Well, now's your chance!

Are you craving more pleasure in your life? You're not the only one! Countless women are either craving more sexual pleasure in their life or they're unaware of how much they're craving great sex. People who experience frequent pleasure and connection to their sexuality are happier and more connected to themselves and the world. Makes sense, right? So, are you ready to join the fun? Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, a certified medical sex therapist, has truly pioneered the blending of physiological and psychological expertise in her approach to sex therapy. She believes that the same sense of shame, guilt, and “not enoughness” are the same things people struggle with regarding sex and food/eating. Let's explore! In this episode, Molly and Bat Sheva discuss the morality of the biology of obesity, why it's important to have a healthy sex life (with or without a partner), and the biggest stigmas and myths about sex that are harming us every single day. She talks about the reasons why women struggle to have orgasms and how to overcome that, the parallel beliefs between food and sex, and the most underused tool in women's sexual arsenals. Episode Quotes “The more you realize that your sex life is not static, that it is a constantly evolving, changing, living, breathing thing, the better you're going to be at bumping up and down those little road bumps and keeping your sex life alive and vibrant for, hopefully, your whole life.” – Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus “Sex with yourself can be the BEST sex.” – Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus Key Highlights Sex is just as important in a relationship as intimacy and communication; If you have a low sex drive, it's not in your head and it's not necessarily because of your relationship. Do not blame and shame yourself! You are not broken; One of the biggest myths about sex is that sex is stagnant, or that your sex life will stay the same for your whole life. In reality, this is totally false; If you're reliant on one person for pleasure, you're going to be in trouble! Learning how to have great sex with yourself can seriously change your life; If you put on weight and you're not feeling sexy or you think your partner won't find you sexy, the world is not ending. Working to have some type of relationship with your sexuality can help you reconnect with your sexual energy and nurture your sexual desire – leading to more pleasure; To have a healthy sexual relationship with yourself, start by slowing down and exploring your body parts. Then, activate your brain by fantasizing, using your imagination, and being playful!

Did you know that sexual desire and sexual arousal aren't the same--that you can be capable of arousal but have little desire, or have a lot of desire but experience little arousal? We have a lively, engaging interview with the Orthodox Sex Guru and Queen of Vibrators herself, Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, whose book Sex Points was released earlier this year. The series on vibrators Bat Sheva mentions can be found here. Music: Besamim (Spices) by Bruce Chalmer, performed by the Fyre and Lightning Consort. Visit us at brucechalmer.com/podcast.

The Story of Shlomo's Coronation and David's “Crowning” Achievement Through Bat Sheva (1 Melachim 1:11-31). The Book of Melachim opens with this scene, which is not only the story of Shlomo's coronation through Bat Sheva (“The crown that his [Shlomo's] mother placed upon his head” – Shir Hashirim 3;11), but also the clarification by David of what it means to be a king, not as someone who is simply “in control” of his passions, but as someone who has integrated those passions into his being such that he is not aroused by Avishag but can cause Bat Sheva to wipe herself 13 times (per Sanhedrin 22a). Avishag and the “shigayon” of the Rambam – end of Sefer Deah – Hilchot Teshuva 10:6 – to be “crazy in love” with God. The placing of story of Yitro prior to giving of the Torah is part of God's invitation to humanity to participate in the divine unfolding on its terms, an invitation which must necessarily precede the revelation of Torah.

Sexual difficulties are more common than you might think. In fact, data from large nationally-representative surveys indicate that just over half of women and more than 40% of men report having experienced at least one sexual problem in the last year alone. The most common problem areas include issues with desire, arousal, orgasm, painful intercourse, and performance anxiety. So how fixable are these problems, and how are they most effectively treated? For this episode of the Sex and Psychology Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus. She is the cofounder and clinical director of Maze Women's Sexual Health, the largest independent women's sexual health center in the United States. For twenty years, she has overseen the treatment of thousands of women ages 18-81. Her latest book is titled Sex Points: Reclaim Your Sex Life With the Revolutionary Multi-Point System. We talk all about the novel system she created to help women understand where they are in their sex lives. We also discuss how everyone—at any age, in any situation—can have better sex. Some of the topics we cover include: Why are vibrators “the most underutilized tool in women's sexual arsenal?” Why do we need to get away from the idea that we can fix every sexual problem simply by taking the right pill? What does it really mean to have great sex? What are the most effective treatments for low sexual desire and/or arousal? How do you treat problems with painful sex? What can be done for people who have difficulty orgasming, or who have never had an orgasm before? How do you deal with sexual anxiety effectively? To learn more about Bat Sheva, check out her website here. Also, be sure to pick up a copy of her latest book, Sex Points. *** Want to learn more about Sex and Psychology?

For many women, they believe that their libido is something that will just smack them across the face.

RESUME DU COURS : Nous avons vu que, selon nos Maîtres, Avshalom préfigure Gog et Magog, dernière révolte de la civilisation occidentale chrétienne contre Israël, d´où jaillira la Délivrance finale. Comme nous l´avons dit, Avshalom avait pris sur lui la nezirout, c’est-à-dire qu´il s´était retiré du monde. Mais, bien que naziréen, il convoita néanmoins le pouvoir et planifia de s´en emparer. A son image, et paradoxalement, la religion fondée par celui disant "mon royaume n´est pas de ce monde" est celle qui eut, dans l´histoire, un pouvoir qu´aucune autre n´eut jamais ! "Avshalom mit au monde 3 fils, et 1 fille qu´il appela Tamar (il voulait montrer qu´il portait sur lui la souffrance de sa sœur et qu´il se battait pour les valeurs morales et spirituelles dans ce monde). "Cela faisait deux ans qu´Avshalom était revenu à Jérusalem, mais le roi refusait de recevoir son fils. Avshalom envoya une missive à Yohav, lui demandant absolument de voir son père, mais Yohav refusa. Après un nouvel essai, Avshalom dit à ses serviteurs : allez mettre le feu à tous les champs de Yohav." La Torah décrit ici le type fondamental de celui qui se prend pour le modèle : il se présente comme la morale suprême et comme la religion d´"aimer son prochain comme soi-même", mais la Torah nous montre que celui qui se croit meilleur que les autres perd toute notion de ses limites : il ruine et détruit ceux qui ne pensent pas comme lui, ou qui ne lui permettent pas de montrer qu´il a raison. Dans le personnage d´Avshalom, la Torah a fixé le prototype de celui qui, au nom de sa compréhension personnelle, tue et fait des horreurs ; on verra qu´ensuite, il voudra aussi tuer son père et violera ses femmes ! "Yohav vint trouver Avshalom : "pourquoi tes serviteurs ont-ils brûlé mes champs ?" Avshalom lui répondit : "c´est moi qui doit te demander des comptes ! C´est moi qui brûle, tous les jours, à l´intérieur ! Pourquoi m´as-tu ramené, si c´est pour me laisser mourir sans pouvoir voir mon père ?" On voit la force de l´hypocrisie qui retourne ses propres torts contre l´autre, l´accusant au point qu´il se sente coupable ! Yohav, déconcerté par tant d´hypocrisie, ne trouve rien à lui répondre. Pourtant, Yohav est un vrai guerrier, un dur, et même la seule personne dont David ait dit "j´ai peur de lui". C´est toujours l´art de nos ennemis, qui tuent et ruinent, puis se font passer pour les victimes et nous font nous sentir coupables ! C´est ainsi que Yohav alla chez le roi, lui raconter la souffrance de son fils. Avshalom avait dit : "Je veux parler avec le roi et faire valoir mes droits. Je veux lui prouver que je n´ai pas fauté." Il était sûr de pouvoir convaincre David. "Avshalom arriva devant le roi, se prosterna devant lui. David embrassa son fils". Mais il ne lui dit pas un mot. "Avshalom s´en alla. Et ce fut après cela…" qu´il commença sa révolte contre son père. Rashi explique qu´Avshalom interpréta le silence de David, et le fait qu´il l´ait embrassé, comme un pardon complet et une approbation de ce qu´il avait fait. En réalité, David ne réagit pas parce qu´il était brisé. Il savait que tout ce qui se passait était l´accomplissement de ce que le prophète Nathan lui avait annoncé : que de sa maison sortirait le mal, à cause de sa faute avec Bat Sheva. Il était dans une forme de dépression et ne savait pas comment réagir. Avshalom crut pouvoir en déduire que son père n´était plus à la hauteur et qu´il fallait qu´il le remplace. Par divers types de manipulations démagogiques, il se créa un nom dans le pays et parvint à rallier une grande partie du peuple, contre David. Il construisit son personnage sur 4 piliers : grâce à ses cheveux longs de naziréen, il se présentait comme étant détaché de ce monde ; par le nom de sa fille, Tamar, il signifiait qu´il était le saint défenseur de la morale ; en recevant le peuple pour "rendre justice" aux opprimés, il prétendait être le juste juge ; il voulait se faire passer pour l´homme de l´amour, proche de son peuple. "Et ce fut au bout de 40 ans qu´Avshalom vint chez le roi et lui dit : laisse-moi partir à Hevron, car je dois accomplir mon vœu." Hevron est la ville des racines d´Israël. Mais c´est aussi, explique le Malbim, la capitale de la tribu de Yehuda. Avshalom entreprit de réunir aussi autour de lui la tribu de Yehuda. Nos Maîtres expliquent qu´il attendit que ce soient écoulés "40 ans" depuis que le 1er roi avait été oint par Shmuel. 40 ans est le chiffre qui symbolise la fin d´un cycle et le début d´un autre. De même qu´il fallut attendre 40 ans pour que l´ancienne génération disparaisse dans le désert et que la nouvelle entre en Eretz, Avshalom se dit que l´ancienne royauté devait disparaître, pour que la nouvelle puisse prendre le pouvoir. Il utilise les symboles d´Israël pour créer son mensonge puis déclare : l´ancien est fini, et il doit disparaître ; je suis le nouveau. C´est pourquoi nos Maîtres y voient Edom. Avant même la naissance de la religion et de la civilisation édomique, nos Maîtres nous en ont déjà donné tous les signes ! Tous les éléments étaient présents dans la Torah, pour nous mettre en garde. C´est pourquoi, quand apparut le mensonge, les vrais Juifs le refusèrent ! Dès le début, Avshalom s´est posé comme une essence de roi, qui a le droit de se créer une justice complémentaire à celle de la Torah. Il tua son frère car, comme roi, il s´en voyait le droit, oubliant que David était encore roi, et que son frère Amnon, en tant qu´aîné, aurait dû succéder à David. En réalité, il lui fallait tuer Amnon pour s´ouvrir la voie de la royauté, et il se présenta donc comme le justicier ! Derrière les grands modèles de l´humanité, se cachent des hypocrites qui veulent prendre le pouvoir, soit par la force, soit par les cheveux longs et la démagogie de l´amour. La Torah nous avait prévenus : un jour, se lèvera quelqu´un fonctionnant exactement comme Avshalom. Mais nous ne pouvons être trompés, car la Torah ne nous présente pas un tel langage de miel et d´amour. La Torah est gvoura, difficulté : elle ordonne la circoncision d´un bébé ; pour sortir d´Egypte, il fallut égorger et rôtir l´idole des Egyptiens, le jour même de leur fête idolâtre, au risque de nos vies ! Celui qui prétend nous prendre en charge et nous sauver est seulement un Avshalom. Quand on décompose le mot klipa, choisi par nos Maîtres, on obtient : kal yafé, facile et beau. Car ce qui est séduisant, c´est le mal : nos Maîtres présentent le mal comme ce qui semble faire du bien, mais le bien immédiat est forcément la couverture du mensonge qui se cache derrière. Miel, mensonge et mort vont toujours ensemble.
RESUME DU COURS : Nathan dit à David "puisque tu reconnais ta faute, tu ne mourras pas." Mais il faut aussi une réparation. Quand nous avons blessé quelqu’un, ou cassé quelque chose, même si la faute est pardonnée, il nous arrive des épreuves, des issourim. Car la faute, la parole ou l’action mauvaise, a fait entrer en nous des impuretés, a dégagé des énergies négatives et causé des destructions. Il faut nettoyer toutes les saletés qui ont été accumulées dans notre âme, réparer notre être, et ceux que nous avons abîmés autour de nous. Hachem a prévu cette purification : nous avons, enfouies en nous, des forces qui, si nous les déployons, sont purificatrices et vont nettoyer toutes les impuretés entrées en nous. Ces forces nouvelles que nous allons déployer seront, en nous, comme des eaux purificatrices. Nathan avait déjà annoncé à David quelle serait sa punition : "un mâle se lèvera de ta maison. Il prendra tes femmes devant tes yeux". Puis suivent 3 versets, et est ajouté : "sache que l’enfant de Bat Sheva va mourir." Hachem frappa le bébé de Bat Sheva, qui était dans un état désespéré. David pria pour sa guérison, et il jeûna. Il ne pouvait même plus se lever.... Au bout de 7 jours, l’enfant mourut... David se leva immédiatement, remit ses habits royaux, se rendit au Tabernacle pour se prosterner devant Hachem, puis rentra chez lui et demanda qu’on lui prépare un festin. "Tant que l’enfant était vivant, j’ai jeûné, j’ai pleuré, car je me disais : peut-être qu’Hachem va pardonner et l’enfant vivra. Maintenant qu’il est mort, à quoi cela servirait-il ? Après avoir mangé, il alla vers Bat Sheva, s’unit à elle et naquit un enfant qu’ils appelèrent Shlomo, que D. aima. Hachem envoya Nathan dire aux parents : cet enfant sera appelé "Yedida, l’amoureux de D., car c’est ce que D. veut." Pendant 9 mois, au Beit HaMidrash, tous avaient fait honte à David. Puis, quand l’enfant, à peine né, tomba malade et mourut, tout le peuple y vit la punition d’Hachem. Mais, si cette mort avait été une punition d’Hachem, David aurait dû être encore plus affligé après qu’avant, car cela aurait signifié qu’il n’était pas pardonné. Bat Sheva lui aurait été interdite. Et il n’aurait pas pu aller au Temple. Or, David fit tout le contraire ! Car Nathan avait déjà dit à David : tu es pardonné, et c’est seulement après qu’il ajouta : l’enfant mourra. Cette mort n’est donc pas une punition. David ne se sent pas coupable, et c’est pourquoi il va avec sa femme, car il sait qu'elle ne lui est pas interdite. Si D. avait voulu punir David, selon le principe "mida ké negued mida", ce n’est pas l’enfant qui serait mort, mais c’est David qui aurait été envoyé à la mort, comme il y avait envoyé Ouria. David ne se trompe jamais, dans l’interprétation de ce qui lui arrive. Il sait qu’il y a des épreuves qui sont une punition, onesh, et d’autres qui sont un tikoun, une réparation, et qui sont constructrices : Hachem veut permettre à l’homme de dévoiler des forces surhumaines, et d’atteindre un niveau qu’il n’aurait pu atteindre. Si l’épreuve qu’il subit l’abat et qu’il s’écroule, c’est qu’il s’agit d’une punition. Mais si c’est un tikoun, l’homme se lève immédiatement, et gagne. David sait qu’il n’a pas fauté. D. lui donne des tikounim, des épreuves, pour lui permettre d’atteindre le niveau d’être le père du Mashiah. Il mit au monde Shlomo, c’est-à-dire la lignée du Mashiah. Les épreuves de David sont toutes les douleurs de l’enfantement, pour mériter d’être les parents du Mashiah. Le Talmud dit même que la faute de David avec Bat Sheva a été voulue par Hachem. Hachem a envoyé dans David ce yetser hara de l’impatience, car il voulait qu’il faute, afin qu’il devienne, pour l’humanité entière, le modèle de la teshuva qui est toujours possible. David savait que, pour mériter d’être le père du Mashiah, il fallait s’élever à des niveaux surnaturels de compréhension des messages divins, et c’est pourquoi il devait traverser des situations inextricables. Dans un psaume, il dit "mon cœur est vide" (de yetser hara) et il comprend qu’il est entraîné dans un processus qui le dépasse et que c’est Hachem qui agit, en tout cela. En hébreu, le mot "nissayon", épreuve, signifie "élever". En effet, dans le Judaïsme, par l’épreuve, D. ne veut pas nous détruire et nous casser, mais nous élever, comme un père le fait pour son enfant. Tout le monde le comprit plus tard, quand Shlomo inaugura le Temple, et que les portes refusèrent de s’ouvrir. Shlomo dit "fais-le pour mon père David", et les portes s’ouvrirent. Tout Israël comprit que David n’avait jamais fauté. Et il est devenu pour tous "David mele’h Israël, ‘hai vékayam". Il est, pour l’éternité, le modèle unique de la perfection et du Mashiah, car il a tout traversé, dans le bien comme dans le mal, et il est toujours resté le guerrier d’Hachem.
RESUME DU COURS : "David dit à Ouria "rentre dans ta maison, prends soin de toi..." Ouria sortit du palais mais, au lieu de rentrer chez lui, il dormit à l’entrée du palais." Ce qui constituait, vis-à-vis du roi, un très grand affront. Il voulait humilier David. David le rappella et lui demanda pourquoi il ne rentrait pas chez lui. Mais Ouria lui répondit "l’Arche sainte et les tribus d’Israël, et la tribu de Yehuda campent dans des tentes, et mon maître Yohav et les serviteurs de mon maître Yohav sont livrés à tous les dangers, et je rentrerais dans ma maison pour boire, manger et m’unir à ma femme ? De qui te moques-tu ? Tu ne mérites ni ce monde, ni l’autre !" Il insulte David. De plus, dans toute la Torah, quand on s’adresse au roi, on cite toujours Yehuda avant Israël ; et on ne parle pas de "mon maître Yohav", puisque c’est le roi qui est le maître de tous ! On voit clairement que c’est la haine qui anime Ouria. David aurait pu ordonner immédiatement sa mort, puisqu’il est "mored bémal’hout", il insulte le roi, ce qui le rend passible de mort. Mais David ne réagit pas et lui dit seulement "tu peux rester où tu es." C’est seulement le 3ème jour, lorsqu’Ouria dut repartir à la guerre, que David lui confia une lettre pour Yohav, lui disant de mettre Ouria en 1ère ligne des combats. Mais il faut souligner que ces combats existaient avant que David n’y envoie Ouria, et que d’autres milliers de soldats se battent au même endroit, dans les mêmes dangers. Ce n’est donc pas une situation de danger que David a créée spécialement pour Ouria. David ajouta "il sera frappé et mourra", car il sait comment le monde fonctionne : celui qui insulte le roi mérite la mort ; David aurait pu le tuer lui-même et ne l’a pas fait, pour être sûr qu’il ne recherche pas son propre intérêt. Il laissa D. agir. Et, en effet, "pendant que Yohav encerclait la ville, il mit Ouira à l’endroit où se trouvaient les meilleurs combattants. Les gens de la ville sortirent. Une partie des soldats d’Israël tombèrent, dont Ouria. Yohav envoya une missive à David, pour lui dire qu’une partie des meilleurs combattants d’Israël étaient tombés, et parmi eux Ouria. David lui répondit de continuer les combats et de faire tomber la muraille de la ville." Ce qui montre clairement que ce combat n’avait pas pour but de tuer Ouria. Mais pourquoi Ouria a-t-il insulté David, et voulu montrer son mécontentement en dormant à la porte du palais ? Il n’était pas d’accord avec la façon dont le combat était mené, car Yohav faisait le siège de la ville, au lieu d’attaquer et détruire la ville. Car une attaque coûte de nombreux soldats à Israël, et David et Yohav voulaient épargner des vies. Mais un siège peut durer longtemps, maintenant les soldats sous des tentes, et c’est ce qu’Ouria avait reproché à David, refusant de rentrer chez lui pendant que ses compagnons d’arme étaient sous des tentes. On comprend donc que, certes, David a fauté sur le plan des intentions, mais légalement et pénalement, il n’a commis aucune faute, à la fois parce que Bat Sheva était divorcée de son mari envoyé à la guerre ; et parce que, Ouria voulant tellement se battre, David l’avait fait envoyer au front ! Ayant insulté le roi et étant passible de mort, Ouria fut tué. Certes, David a agi avec précipitation, car il avait vu qu’il s’agissait de réparer la faute de Adam HaRishon, et que de lui et Bat Sheva sortirait le Mashiah. La faute des grands est toujours, non de faire le mal, mais de mal faire le bien. Le verset dit "ce fut au moment de la teshuva (du retour) du temps." Car, depuis la faute de Adam, ceux qui devaient être ensemble avaient été éloignés. D’abord, l’homme est éloigné de D. qui dit "où es-tu ? ", le corps de l’âme ; et c’est le début de l’exil, qui est l’éloignement de l’endroit où l’on doit être : Adam est chassé du Gan Eden. Nos Maîtres expliquent que le na’hash avait voulu prendre Hava pour lui, et se débarrasser d’Adam. La 1ère faute de l’humanité est donc décrite comme l’essai d’une capture de celle destinée à un autre, à Adam. C’est le secret d’après lequel "D. mézavègue zivouguim", D. fait des mariages, et le rôle du na’hash est d’empêcher qu’ils ne se rencontrent, puis d’essayer de séparer les couples et détruire les familles juives. Bat Sheva était le zigoug de David. Le Malbin fait d’ailleurs remarquer que le texte dit "elle entendit que son mari était mort, et porta le deuil de "baala". Dans le même verset, il est dit d’abord "ish", puis "baal" (qui signifie maître, ce qui a une connotation de quelqu’un qui oppresse), ce que le Malbin explique ainsi : rétroactivement, Bat Sheva compris qu’il était seulement pour elle "baal", et non son vrai zivoug.
RESUME DU COURS : C’est la rencontre entre David et Bat Sheva, qui se trouve dans le chapitre 11 (le chiffre 11 fait allusion à l’attribut de Kéter, de la Couronne ; et aussi à la dimension qui est au-delà de l’entendement). "Et ce fut vers le retour du temps" (Nos Maîtres expliquent que Bat Sheva était destinée à David depuis les 6 jours de la création et, depuis, ils avaient été séparés et se cherchaient ; ils se retrouvent au moment où le temps ramène ceux qui s’étaient éloignés, c’est-à-dire au mois de Ellul, mot composé des 1ères lettres de "ani lédodi védodi li" : Israël revient vers D, et D revient vers Israël). "Au moment où se dévoilent les rois (car va naître la lignée du Mashiah), David avait envoyé Yohav et toute l’armée d’Israël, faire la guerre à Amon (actuelle Jordanie), et il était resté à Jérusalem" (d’habitude, il était à la tête des armées, mais c’est ici le mois d’Ellul, et David se bat sur le plan spirituel, pour faire tomber les ennemis spirituels qui empêchent l’union entre Hachem et Knesset Israël). Dans la journée, David devait s’occuper du royaume, et il priait la nuit : "il se lève à minuit, et monte sur le toit de son palais. Il voit une femme, très belle." Et l’âme de David la reconnaît. "Il envoie des messagers qui lui disent : elle s’appelle Bat Sheva (ce qui signifie la fille du 7, qui est la dimension de la royauté) C’est la petite fille de A’hitofel, grand conseiller de David. Elle est l’épouse de Ourya Ha’hiti. Son nom est un code pour nous faire comprendre qui il est. Les ‘hitim, étaient l’un des 7 peuples Cananéens qui ont disparu depuis l’époque de la conquête, où ils ont été chassés par Yehoshua et son armée. Dans la Torah, ce sont les ‘hitim qui possédaient Maarat HaMakpéla, le caveau des pères, et Avraham avait dû le libérer en l’achetant à Ephron. Le mari de Bat Sheva s’appelle ‘hiti, pour montrer qu’il a aussi pour fonction d’empêcher l’union : il a été créé pour empêcher Bat Sheva de revenir à son vrai mari. Son nom, Ourya, est composé de "our" (une lumière produite par un feu, c’est-à-dire éphémère). Et de "ya", youd hé, qui sont les 2 1ères lettres du Nom divin. Son nom complet signifie : celui qui empêche le dévoilement de D sur terre ; il ne veut donc pas le dévoilement du Mashiah, qui doit être issu de David et Bat Sheva. "David envoie des messagers pour la faire venir. Elle vient et il couche avec elle. Elle était en état de sainteté ; elle s’était purifiée de son impureté. Elle retourna chez elle. Elle devint enceinte et envoya le dire à David qui envoya un message à Yoav pour faire chercher Ourya. Celui-ci parut devant David qui demanda des nouvelles de la guerre, puis lui dit de rentrer chez lui, rejoindre sa femme." On soulignera qu’à l’époque, David avait pris des décisions de sorte que celui qui partait en guerre dans l’armée d’Israël donnait un guet (une lettre de divorce) à sa femme de sorte que, s’il ne revenait pas, sa femme était permise et pouvait se remarier.
