The Establishment of the State of Israel in the Aftermath of the Holocaust: Sefer Tomer Devorah

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Okay, good evening friends. We're continuing in safer devra. We're up to the fifth mida. It's a brief recap. The ra told us it is for a person to be comparable to the creator to be similar to him. How can we just look like him and not act like him? So the amid number one is to emulate Hashem's incredible tolerance that while he is giving us our life force, we're using it against him. That's amazing tolerance on Hashem's part that Hashem who is so kindly which is represented by the word kale and he's also a god of vengeance. Nevertheless, he tolerates. He doesn't say, "Well, yeah, you want to sin? Well, figure out get your own generator because I'm not giving you power. You know, I'm not pumping you electricity. You go go to Lowe's and get your own generator if you want to sin against me." The second that when we sin, we create this mash and Hashem has to feed it. So, not only does he sustain our sin, he even supports our monster that we create. Number three, that Hashem personally cleanses our sin. So all of these things we have to try to emulate. Hashem's tolerance, Hashem's forbearance that even to be able to tolerate whatever result somebody hurt us and it continues to to cause us aggravation to continue to help the person. um Hashem personally cleanses our sin and then that Hashem acutely feels our pain as if he's our our relative, as if he's our spouse. Okay, we're up to the fifth mid. Fifth mida is very interesting.
