Listen "Brachos Daf 7"
Episode Synopsis
1. Hashem davens and asks that his mercy overcome strict justice, and once the Kohen Gadol r yishmael gave Hashem this exact bracha.
2. We learn from Moshe and Hashem’s dialogue after the Egel that one should not appease someone while they are angry.
3. Hashem has a 1,888th an hour when he is upset every day. This occurs during the first few hours of the day when Kings take off crowns to bow to the sun. The rooster’s crown turns white at this moment.
4. Billam was able to identify this moment and planned to curse the Jews then, but Hashem did not get angry those days that Billam attempted.
5. Moshe wanted to understand why the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer. Hashem responded that full tzadik does not suffer but incomplete tzadik suffers to get away punishment in this world. Half Rasha prospers so he gets his reward in this world and full rasha suffers.
Another opinion says Hashem told Moshe we cannot understand His ways and Moshe only looks at the knot of tefilin of God that symbolizes the complexities of God’s justice.
6. There is a dispute whether it was good or bad for Moshe to humbly turn away from looking at the burning bush.
7. Avraham was the first to call Hashem an אדון.
8. Leah was the first to thank Hashem with the name יהודה
9. ראובן is ראו בן- see contrast between the way עשו and ראובן reacted to losing the birthright.
10. There is a concept of שמא גרים- a name can be a real embodiment of a persons character.
11. Internal struggle within ones home is more painful than the wars of גוג ומגוג.
12. Dovid was “happy” to learn that it was Absalom rebellion against him bc he was confident his son would have compassion as opposed to a slave who could rebell.
13. Should one fight with רשעים?
Four approaches1. Not with personal matters only with Hashem’s honor. 2. Only if the rasha does not have success. 3. Only if one is a full tzadik 4. If either one is a full tzadik or the rasha does not have success
14. Helping Torah scholars can be greater than learning
15. There is value to davening at the time the minyan davens even when davening alone.
