Okay, good morning friends. Parshas Shoftim from the safer Pnei Kedem. This first idea comes from Rabbi Yerach Darshan Baal Machaber Sefer Zera Berach. The Medrash says, "B'makom she yesh din, ein din. U'makom she ein din, yesh din." Where there is judgement, there is not judgement. And where there is not judgement, there is judgement. Okay. Uh what does that mean? Um So, says the Sefer Pnei Kedem quoting Rabbi Yerach Darshan Baal Machaber Sefer Zera Berach. The Medrash says, "If you do din l'mata, there's no din l'mala." If you If the Jewish courts conduct themselves the Mishpat, if they adjudicate, then Hashem does not have to administer justice. Otherwise, there's din l'mala. But the background is as follows. The Halacha is ein donin balayla. In general, ein donin balayla. But on the other hand, we find that Hashem does not judge during the day. Chesed [snorts] Kel kol hayom. So, the Beis Din shel mata convenes during the day. The Beis Din shel mala only convenes at night. Which by the way is very interesting because So, that's that's the meaning of "B'makom she yesh din, ein din. U'makom "B'makom she yesh din, ein din. U'makom she ein din, yesh din." Why I say that's interesting is I don't think that's unanimously maintained. Why? There is a famous P'sak of Rabbi Akiva Eiger fast valuer quoted by the Chayei Adam that if somebody said Hallel Hakadosh the first night of Rosh Hashanah, they do not have to repeat Shemoneh Esrei. And all the Acharonim ask the Tshuvas
