On this week’s Parasha, the Ben Ish Hai ZTK’L explains the
Mishnah in Pirkei Avot a certain way that enlightens each reader. The Ben Ish
Hai brings the 20th Mishnah in the Fourth Chapter of Pirkei Avot
that says Do not look at the vessel, but
at what it contains.
Now we are in the days of Sefirat HaOmer and if you haven’t
noticed already these days are filled with difficulty that an individual has
with his fellow. It is simply so easy to get into a mahloket (argument) over
the simplest situations. What does the Mishnah in Pirkei Avot teach us? Do not
look at the vessel and the outside of the situation, rather just look at the
inside.
Every Jew has a Neshama, a link to Hashem > they are a
part of Hashem. Why? The Torah teaches us that Hashem breathed into each Jew a
Neshama. If someone breathes into a balloon, they obviously they are part of
the balloon because the air that is inside it makes up the balloon as well as
the plastic itself. Therefore, Hashem is the fundamental part of us that gives
us life!
Be’ezrat Hashem during every situation when it is extremely
easy to get angry at another person and judge them infavorably, we will see the
individual as a child of Hashem that has a Neshama and Hashem inside them and
judge them favorably with love and kedusha (purity).
Judaism=Think.
Shavua Tov!
