DVAR TORAH

                                                                            

            

                 

 

One must differentiate between wanting and desiring.

In reference to the non-Jewish woman the soldier wanted to marry, the verse states:

"AND IT WILL BE IF YOU DID NOT WANT HER." (Dvorim 21:14)

      The Hebrew term in this verse is in the past tense ("did not want her"). Why isn't it stated in future tense? (in the beginning he wanted her and later on he didn't)? The answer is that there is a distinction between the term chaishek which, translates into infatuation and the term chofaitz which means wanting because of a rational decision that something is good for you. The Torah is telling us that a person who wants to marry someone only because of infatuation and a passion that is based on a veneer or window dressing, if you will.  The love will be short lived, and he never actually wanted the person in the first place.

      Rabbi Chaim Shmuelevitz used to cite the words of Rashi on this verse that the Torah tells us that when a person marries only because of beauty he will end up hating the other person. This, said Rav Chaim, is crucial for anyone interested in getting married to remember.

     Rabbi Noach Weinberg, Rosh Hayeshiva of Aish Hatorah, is quoted as saying: "Love is the pleasure of seeing virtue. It is based on the reality of knowing the good qualities in another person. Infatuation, however, is blind. It is when your emotions prevent you from seeing the entire picture and you mistakenly believe that the object of your infatuation is totally perfect and without any faults." 

Wishing everyone a Shabbat Shalom from Rabbi Yisroel Perelson and Family!
