from The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman
Day 21 of the Omerאָמְרוּ רַזַ"לOur Sages state:אַל יִפָּטֵר אָדָם מֵחֲבֵרוֹ אֶלָּא מִתּוֹךְ דְּבַר הֲלָכָה“One should not take leave of his friend except amidst words of halachah (Torah law).”וּפֵרְשׁוּ הוֹד כְּבוֹד קְדוּשַּׁת אֲבוֹתֵינוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ הַקְּדוֹשִׁיםAccording to our holy Rebbeim,אַזַא דְּבַר תּוֹרָה וואָס מאַכט אִיהם — דעֶם העֶרעֶר — פאַר אַ מְהַלֵּךְthis alludes to the kind of Torah teaching that propels the listener and transforms him into a mehalech —עִנְיַן הַהִלּוּךְ הוּא לַעֲלוֹת מִדַּרְגָא לְדַרְגָא בְּעִלּוּי אַחַר עִלּוּיone who strides from level to level, and from peak to peak.מַעֲלַת הַנְּשָׁמוֹת עַל מַעֲלַת הַמַּלְאָכִיםIn this dynamism lies the superiority of souls over angels, [who are described as “those who stand”].דַּעֲלִיָּה זוֹ הִיא בְּיוֹתֵר עַל יְדֵי עֲבוֹדָה בְּפוֹעַל טוֹבFor the soul’s ascent is facilitated by positive activity,טאָן אַ טוֹבָה אַ אִידעֶן בְּגַשְׁמִיּוּת בִּכְלָל וּבְרוּחָנִיּוּת בִּפְרָט.such as doing a favor for a fellow Jew in material matters, and especially, in spiritual matters.Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in EnglishFor questions and follow-up: [email protected]
