The opening verse already gives us an important lesson on how to serve God in the proper way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>This week\u2019s reading is called <em>Ki Teitzei<\/em>. It&#8217;s one of those readings that has so many teachings, so many mitzvot (commandments), that it\u2019s difficult to pick and choose. There\u2019s so much to talk about\u2014because 73 or 74 of the Torah&#8217;s 613 commandments, which is more than 10%, are found in this particular reading. So, instead of saying, \u201cI&#8217;m going to talk about this or that,\u201d let\u2019s just start at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Torah brings a verse, and the verse says, &#8220;When you go out to war against your enemies, and G-d gives your enemy into your hand, and you take captives.&#8221; It then continues. I invite each one of you to go and read the text, and you will see what happens with this particular mitzvah. I won\u2019t go into the details now, but the point is that there are two parts to each mitzvah in the Torah, like two sides of a coin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, there\u2019s the practical, real-world, material application of that particular commandment. It\u2019s talking about a war, about conquering someone, about seeing someone you like among the conquered people, and so on. That\u2019s what it&#8217;s talking about. Does this apply today? The answer is no. Today, we don\u2019t have a king in the land of Israel. Today, we don\u2019t have a Sanhedrin, the great court that decides the laws. So many conditions are different: people don\u2019t live there like they used to, we don\u2019t count the years in the same way, etc. The details don\u2019t really matter, but the point is we don\u2019t have the necessary conditions to fulfill this particular commandment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, a person might ask, &#8220;So, does it mean it doesn\u2019t matter anymore?&#8221; (Parenthesis: this is a very short answer\u2014if you get it, fine, if not, forget it.) The point is, when the conditions aren\u2019t met to keep a specific commandment, you are automatically exempt from that commandment. It\u2019s not that you\u2019re not keeping it; you simply don\u2019t have to. Okay, let\u2019s close that parenthesis and move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s one side of the coin, the practical application of the commandment. However, even if the practical side of the commandment doesn\u2019t apply because the conditions aren\u2019t met, the spiritual part of the commandment does apply. You can extract spiritual lessons from the commandment and apply them to your daily life, wherever you are and whenever you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the teaching here? First of all, let\u2019s read it again: &#8220;When you go out to war.&#8221; What war are we talking about? We\u2019re not talking about a physical war against an enemy. No, no, no. This is a war that happens everywhere and at all times. What are we talking about? There is a war inside of you, between your good part and your bad part. There is a constant conflict. Should I do good? Should I not? Should I fulfill the will of G-d or my own will? These wills shouldn\u2019t differ, but sometimes they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is this war inside every person, at all times. And sometimes, our sages teach us, this war never ends. You were born to fight this war, and you are meant to fight it every single day, because your negative part, your yetzer hara (evil inclination), gets stronger every day. You have to fight it more and more. But the Torah gives us a promise: G-d, your L-rd, will give your enemy into your hand. But there\u2019s a condition. The condition is, &#8220;When you go out to war.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at the two Hebrew words the Torah uses for &#8220;against your enemy&#8221;\u2014<em>al oyvecha<\/em>. A nice translation is &#8220;against,&#8221; but if you go deeper, it means &#8220;on top of your enemy.&#8221; If your attitude, when you go out to this war, is that you are on top of your enemy from the start, then G-d will give your enemy into your hand. Not only will you win the battle or the war, but you will also take captives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does that mean? Our sages explain that there\u2019s a good part inside of you, and a bad part inside of you. The bad part is usually tied to emotions, and emotions are strong. The good part is more intellectual, and intellect is cooler, more detached. But when these two combine\u2014when you bring the strength of emotions together with the focus of intellect\u2014you can achieve much higher levels of service to G-d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what does it mean to take captives? Your enemy, the negative emotions, the yetzer hara, has strength and energy. When you conquer it, you take that energy and enthusiasm and use it in the service of G-d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s read the verse again: If you make a strong decision and a strong commitment to fight this war, and you don\u2019t get discouraged by the difficulties, and you go out with the attitude of being on top of your enemy, G-d will give your enemy into your hand. Not only that, but you will also take &#8220;captives&#8221;\u2014you will extract strength from your enemy and use it in a positive way for the service of G-d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Commentaire sur la paracha du rabbin Tuvia Serber<\/strong><br><br><br><br><br><br>Le texte ci-dessus est une repr\u00e9sentation du texte parl\u00e9 converti en texte \u00e9crit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Copyright, tous droits r\u00e9serv\u00e9s.
