Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 47 minutesSynopsis: This morning (6/5/25) we had what will likely be our last Q&A of the 2024-2025 season! We discussed the following five questions: (1) Have my views on Mishleic fatalism changed? (If you're not familiar, don't worry - we review it.) (2) What insight can I offer on the types of high-stakes life decisions that tend to start cropping up as one enters adulthood? (3) What advice would I give for reading Halakhic Man? (4) What are some guidelines for learning Pirkei Avos? (5) What mistakes do I see yeshiva bochrim during their time in yeshiva? (and what regrets do I have about how I used MY time in yeshiva?)-----מקורות:Mishlei 21:11https://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/mishlei-211-mishleic-fatalismGandalf-----Summer is almost here, and I'm planning to level up my Substack game.

התוכן איתא בירושלמי בקשר לענין דמכירת יוסף [כמ"ש בשלישי דפ' וישב] "אמר ה' לשבטים אתם מכרתם בנה של רחל בעשרים כסף לפיכך יהי' כל אחד ואחד מגיעו בקע לגולגולת.. הה"ד בקע לגולגולת מחצית השקל". וכמ"ש במפרשים, כי במכירת יוסף היו עשרה שבטים (בנימין לא הי' שם) ונמצא מחצית השקל לכל שבט (עשרים כסף = 5 שקלים). ולכאו' הרי גם ראובן לא הי' שם?! והביאור: א) ע"פ מ"ש בפרדר"א שכשנודע לראובן על המעשה שתק ולא מיחה, ולכן הוא נכלל בחשבון "עשרה השבטים" וצריך לתת "מחצית השקל". וההוראה: צריך לאהוב כל יהודי גם אם שמע עליו ענין בלתי-רצוי, כי עצם הדבר שהוא שמע ע"ז ה"ז סימן שזה שייך לו, ע"ד שכשנודע לראובן על ענין הבלתי-רצוי של אחיו הי' צריך לתקן א"ז וכו'. ב) יוסף בעצמו גרם למכירתו ע"י מעשיו (סיפור חלומותיו וכו'), ולכן הוא נכלל בחשבון "עשרה שבטים" וצריך לתת "מחצית השקל". וההוראה: יש לאהוב אפי' יהודי כזה שציער אותו, כמו יוסף ששהשתתף בעצמו עם אחיו שמכרו אותו למצרים בזמן שהיו צריכים לתקן הדבר.ב' חלקים משיחת י"ג ניסן ה'תשל"ח ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-12-2024 Synopsis Regarding the sale of Yosef [in shelishi of Parashas Vayeshev], the Yerushalmi states: “Hashem said to the shevatim: You sold the son of Rachel for twenty pieces of silver; therefore, each one of you will be required to give one bekka per head...thus it is written, “one bekka per head, half a shekel.” As the commentaries explain, there were ten shevatim present when of Yosef was sold (because Binyamin wasn't there), so the “twenty pieces of silver” (5 shekels) amounts to half a shekel for each shevet. The question is, we also know that Reuven wasn't there when Yosef was sold, so why is the amount divided into ten? This can be answered in two ways: (1) Pirkei d'Rabbi Eliezer states that when Reuven learned of what had happened, he remained silent and did not protest. Therefore, he is also considered part of the transaction, and he is also required to give a half-shekel. The lesson is that one must love every Jew, even if you heard something negative about another Jew, the very fact that you heard about it shows that the negative aspect exists within you to some degree – similar to Reuven, who had to participate in the atonement for the sale by virtue of having heard about it. (2) Yosef brought about his own sale by continuing to talk about his dreams etc.; therefore he is also included in the atonement and he also must give half a shekel. The lesson is that one must love every Jew, even a Jew who has caused you pain, similar to Yosef who had to atone for the brothers' sin of selling him to Egypt.Excerpt from sichah of 13 Nissan 5738 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-12-2024
