Part 3: Mishna. Pirkei Avot, Chapter 4, Item 5

Reader: (00:03) We are reading from Chapters of the Fathers, Chapter 4, Item 5

Reading: (00:14) Rabbi Ishmael his son said: He who learns in order to teach, it is granted to him to study and to teach; But he who learns in order to practice, it is granted to him to learn and to teach and to practice. Rabbi Zadok said: do not make them a crown for self-exaltation, nor a spade with which to dig. So too Hillel used to say, “And he that puts the crown to his own use shall perish.” Thus, you have learned, anyone who derives worldly benefit from the words of the Torah, removes his life from the world.

M. Laitman: Any questions?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:22) He who studies Torah in order to teach, what does that mean? That during the study, I have to think of others, how the thought will be in a person?

M. Laitman: Yes, you want to absorb the Torah while you're learning it, and to pass this to others.

Student: During absorbing the Torah, I already have to put the others in there or be concentrated on it and not to think how?

M. Laitman: No, that's the difference, to nevertheless engage in the Torah in order to pass this on to others.

Student: The thought, while studying the Torah, how to pass it onward? Is that an action?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes.

Student: What does it mean, he who enjoys the words of the Torah removes his life from the world?

M. Laitman: Think. No, I don't want to say it. Next.

Reader: (02:42) Item 6

Rabbi Yose said: Whoever honors the Torah is himself honored by others, and whoever dishonors the Torah is himself dishonored by others.

M. Laitman: Yes, it's hard to say what he means on the body of a person. Next.

Reader: (03:16) Seven.

Rabbi Ishmael, his son said: he who refrains himself from judgment, rids himself of enmity, robbery and false swearing; But he whose heart is presumptuous in giving a judicial decision, is foolish, wicked and arrogant.

M. Laitman: Next.

Reader: (03:52) Number Eight.

He used to say: judge not alone, for none may judge alone save one. And say not “accept my view”, for they are free but not you.

M. Laitman: There's no questions. Continue.

Reader: (04:19) Nine.

Rabbi Jonathan said: whoever fulfills the Torah out of a state of poverty, his end will be to fulfill it out of a state of wealth. And whoever discards the Torah out of a state of wealth, his end will be to discard it out of a state of poverty.

Reader: (04:45) Ten.

Rabbi Meir said: Engage but little in business, and busy yourself with the Torah. Be of humble spirit before all men. If you have neglected the Torah, you shall have many who bring you to neglect it. But if you have labored at the study of Torah, there is much reward to give unto you.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (05:31) He says, engage. What business should you engage in, a little bit?

M. Laitman: I don't know, in order to receive, in order to bestow? Think, okay? Onward.

Reader: (05:58) Eleven.

Rabbi Eliezer ben Jacob said: he who performs one commandment acquires for himself one advocate, and he who commits one transgression acquires for himself one accuser. Repentance and good deeds are a shield against punishment. Rabbi Yochanan Hasandlar said: every assembly which is for the sake of heaven, will in the end endure; and every assembly which is not for the sake of heaven, will not endure in the end.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reader: (06:53) Twelve.

Rabbi Elazar ben Shammua said: let the honor of your student be as dear to you as your own, and the honor of your colleague as the reverence for your teacher, and the reverence for your teacher as the reverence of Heaven.

M. Laitman: That’s a strong statement, there.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (07:34) Just to hold back on what we said here. It's like a demand that even more than love your friend as yourself, right? So, why is a person asked to do this?

M. Laitman: It's in order to respect the other. You need to respect him as if seemingly you would like to be respected.

Student: My student who's below me, I need to respect him like me, a friend like Rav, and Rav like the Creator.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And is that the right order?

M. Laitman: Yes. We're continuing, Item 13.

Reader: (08:14) Item 13

Rabbi Judah said: be careful in study, for an error in study counts as deliberate sin. Rabbi Shimon said: There are three crowns: the crown of Torah, the crown of priesthood, and the crown of royalty, but the crown of a good name supersedes them all.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:50) What is to be careful in the study? What is it to be careful in the study, that he writes here? That the mistake there could be like deliberate sin?

M. Laitman: If you ask me, truly, I don't know.

Student: Another question: The matter of a good name, that the crown of a good name is the highest of them all. It's written that a good name is better than a good oil. What does that actually mean?

M. Laitman: That you're, seemingly, being crowned with the crown of a good name.

Student: Who crowns?

M. Laitman: The world.

Student: Usually, a good name is like your what people think about you.

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, think just about that, no more than that.

Student: What does it mean in the spiritual level?

M. Laitman: That people will judge you to the scale of merit and talk about you, nicely. That this is, in their perception, that you're a special person.

Student: Special person or society, I'm trying to understand what it means to be special. What should people think of us, let's say people that see us at work, or circumstances. What should they think of someone from Bnei Baruch?

M. Laitman: For them to see everyone is right, Mister, that's it.

Reader: (10:40) Fourteen

Rabbi Nehorai said: go as a [voluntary] exile to a place of Torah and say not that it will come after you, for [it is] your fellow [student]s who will make it permanent in your hand and “and lean not upon your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5).

M. Laitman: We don't quite understand what he wrote.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:14) I want to connect it to something from before. What I see here, is that he constantly, says, aspire higher.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: The honor of your teacher, honor of the Creator, and we actually are a community. We're a big community, the whole world Kli and all together. Now, to aspire upward higher, is to see how we contribute more to society, right?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, there's a separation. There are external things, and I'm sure there's endless things. For instance, like a Congress like yesterday, there are so many friends on duty, serving the Congress from the preparations, cooking, organizing, there's a thousand things. Whoever didn't take part in it, so I don't know what he got from that Congress, if he came only as a guest. So, that's externally, externally, there's always something we can do, you don't have to invent new things. Or every campus, there's helpers and supporters, maybe there's two lectures but there's a lot going on around it. There's always an opportunity, that's on the outside. I'm asking about the inside, we're a community that always has to aspire, upward, to aspire to more. How do you keep going more inside?

M. Laitman: For each and every one to understand that through his investment he acquires the next world. That through this connection with friends he, I don't know how to say it, he's again building the next world. This is actually what we want people to feel. For them to feel, not just understand or hear.

Student: Can a person reach that if he didn't do the first part, that in something he contributes to society on a corporeal level?

M. Laitman: No, no, there needs to be a certain impression in him from the work for the sake of others.

Student: And the impression can only be if you do something. You didn't come to study and get some wisdom.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, how to connect between the both? That a person must contribute to society, to him needing to contribute internally, too?

M. Laitman: I think it's the same thing. He needs to be in a state in which it's the same thing.

Student: I'll give you an example: I see giant friends coming here just to clean the garbage once a week from the whole building, or to guard downstairs of the door. Or in the world Kli, when somebody does something for the campus or for disseminating the language. Then a person comes and studies and while he studies, he also needs to constantly raise the value of the Ten, of the Rav, of the path. How is one connected to the other because it seems like two different actions and you're saying it's the same?

M. Laitman: It's not simple, it's not simple, to constantly think about the intention of the study is, really, not simple.

Student: But again, to think of the intention won't happen, if somebody just comes, studies to enjoy the study, won't happen, right, it's a law.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And he won't feel part of society, if he doesn't contribute something, in some kind of corporeal way.

M. Laitman: He needs to come to the study in order to receive the force in order to be able to give it out between everyone. Meaning, I come here to learn with everyone together, I'm incorporated by them, them from me. And what I receive, I, now want to give it out to hundreds of parts, maybe even thousands. And to give those parts out between all my friends around the world. That's what I need to think, okay?

Alright, so we can conclude with this. And what else do we have?

Reader: (16:55) Announcements. Good day, everybody.
