DVAR TORAH

         

 

Be a judge for your own behavior before the behavior of others.

"JUDGES AND POLICE YOU SHALL PLACE FOR YOURSELF." (Dvorim 16:18)

     Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Parshischo commented: Make for yourself judges and police, that is, before you critique other people, you should gaze into a mirror first. As the Sages (Bava Basra 60b) have said, "First correct yourself and only then correct others."

     It is very easy to find fault with others. But this can easily lead to a demeanor of braggadocio as seeing the faults of others and erroneously believing in your own misguided perfection. While we have an obligation to help others grow, self-examination and, by extension, an ongoing endeavor of self-improvement will help you see the good in others. The purpose of the police is to make certain that the laws are enforced. Similarly, when you find one of your faults, it is an opportune time to rectify the flaw in oneself instead of the counterproduvtive absorption of guilt.   How can I better myself should be first and foremost in the building of character.

     Rabbi Tzvi Michel Shapiro used to say jokingly, "If a person wants an easy way to be righteous, the solution is that he should not study mussar. Then he or she will consider oneself completely righteous. But once a person starts to study mussar he will realize that he is far from perfect."

     We have just entered Chodesh Elul. What a coincidence that this parsha falls out during a month that we are expected to be a judge over ourselves. We now have a little less than a month to Rosh Hashanah and a little more than a month to the great and awesome day, Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah is a day when Hashem is going to decide how much wealth, health, pleasure, or G-D forbid pain we will have this coming year. Over the next number of weeks, we must amass as many merits as we possibly can; so, when we enter before the arbiter of the world we are holding merits in our hand.

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