What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Sicha Women Shiur - Project Likkutei Sichos’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

talking about a um a theme that appears later in this week's para and that is and that is the practice of people um donating amounts of money uh to the BA mikdash that would be um in an amount that equals their worth as it were. And the tarot goes through um what a what a person is worth as it were. So obviously we know that a person is of infinite worth is invaluable. There's no pl way to put a price on a person. Um but yet there is this basic um metric that that is found in the term. People might choose to donate that amount. They might also choose to consecrate animals or produce um on a voluntary basis to the bdash. So see if so in the Rambam's at the end of his treatment of the laws concerning these matters he writes a person should never consecrate or designate for in in in this in this way all of his assets. And if somebody does so he trespasses on the terra's council because the Torah says you should give to Hashem from everything that you have and it doesn't say that you should give everything you have like explained and if you give everything you have a way. This is not considered piety, this is considered idiocy because if he gives everything away that he has, so what's going to happen? He's going to need other people to support him. So what what what did you what did you accomplish here? The and we don't take pity on such a person. the Torah tells you not to do this and this is an act of idiocy and and you know we're not going to we're not going to take pity on you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
