Torah
Thoughts from Rabbi Doug…
Parshat Ki Tetze
The Torah commands us to physically assist
others in their time
of need: "You shall not see the donkey or the ox of your brother
stumble on the way and hide yourself from them. Rather, you shall lift
them up with him." (Deut. 22:4) Why does the Torah specify the
words "with him"? The Sages clarify in the Talmud that
if a person who needs
help tells you, "I'm going to rest right now. You have a mitzvah to help
me, so help me all by yourself," then you are not obligated to help
him for the Torah states "with him." You need not allow someone to
take advantage of you just because you want to do kindness and he is
lazy. If he has a valid reason that he is unable to work with you,
then you should help him in any event -- and focus on the pleasure of
helping without any resentment! A person should feel joy when
helping others
even though they do not do you favors in return and are not grateful.
Since the person really needed the help, you
have fulfilled an act of kindness
and gained in spiritual elevation and
character improvement. Do not
allow yourself to be manipulated, do not feel guilty in saying "no,"
but don't rob
yourself the joy of doing an
unappreciated
act of kindness!

Summary of Parshas Ki Teitzei By, Rabbi Doug Zelden
Deuteronomy 21:10 Page 840 in the Hertz Chumash
In the course of history mankind's most ignoble times
have been during war and conflict. It is almost as if we suspend our humanity
and regress to our lowest common denominator; that of the wild beast. Murder,
rape, and plunder accompany the soldier as he is given license to destroy that
which should be most precious. It confirms, as the Torah teaches, that all
morals and values rest upon the sanctity of human life. Devalue the
pricelessness of life, and you undermine the foundation upon which all values
and morals rest. The private domain of person and property then becomes subject
to the unleashed amorality of the human animal. Following the instructions at
the end of last weeks Parsha as to how the Jew is to wage war, Moshe, in
Parshas Ki Seitsei, presented 74 Mitzvos which highlight the value that the
Torah places on the private domain of person and property.
1st Aliya: In an illuminating sequence of emotional and legal circumstances,Moshe forewarned us of the moral and familial dangers of warfare. A soldierbrings home a non-Jewish female captive. Disregarding rational and obvious differences, he marries her, has his 1st son with her, and eventually resents the discord he has fostered upon himself, his "captive wife", and his extended family. Attempting to deny his responsibility in the "resentment turned to hatred" breaking apart his family, he attempts to deny his 1st born son's rights. This is illegal. This can Produce the "Rebellious Son"; a child who does not value the private rights of person or property and will eventually be executed for his crimes against society. It's a tragedy that begs us to consider the long range consequences of our actions before giving legal license to the wild beast within each of us. Pg. 840 Ch.21:10
2nd Aliya: The laws regarding: hanging and burial; returning lost articles; the fallen animal; transvestitism; and the birds nest are detailed. Pg. 842 Ch.21:22
3rd Aliya: The laws regarding: guard rails; mixed agriculture; forbidden combinations; Tzitzit; the defamed wife; if the accusations against the wife are true; the penalty for adultery; the rape of a betrothed or unmarried girl; the prohibition against marrying a father's wife; the Mamzer; and the prohibition against marrying an Ammonite or Moabite are detailed. Pg. 843 Ch.22:8
4th Aliya: The laws
regarding: marriage to Edomites or Egyptians; the sanctity of the army camp;
sheltering
run away slaves; prostitution; deducted interest; and keeping vows are
commanded. Pg. 847 Ch.23:8
5th Aliya:The laws
regarding: workers eating while they harvest; divorce and the Gett, and who
may remarry a divorsed wife. Pg. 850
Ch.23:25
6th Aliya: tMilitary exemptions for a new husband; taking a millstone as security for a loan; the punishment for kidnapping; leprosy; general laws regarding security for loans, are detailed. Pg. 850 Ch.24:5
7th Aliya: The laws regarding paying wages on time; the testimony of close relatives; concern for the widowed and orphaned; forgotten sheaves of grain; leftover fruit from the harvest; Malkos - flogging; the childless sister-in- law; the assailant and the wife who comes to the rescue; honest weights and measures; and remembering Amalek are commanded. Pg. 852 Ch.24:14
Maftir Aliya: We repeat the
last three verses; this is what we read for Parshas Zachor the
Shobbos before Purim. Pg. 856
Ch.25:17
Haftorah Ki Teitzei / Noach
Isaiah 54:1-17, 55:1-5 Page 41 in the Hertz Chumash
The “Double” Haftorah for this week's
Parsha, Ki Tietzei, was taken from chapter 54 & 55 in Yishayuhu. It
describes Israel as afflicted barren, and inconsolable in the aftermath of the
Temple's destruction. The Navi assured the People that Hashem's kindness and
love for them is ever present, protecting and sustaining them at all times. It
is the 5th Haftorah between
Tisha B’Av and Rosh Hashana. It also is read with the Haftorah of Re’eh due to
Rosh Chodesh postponing that “Haftorah of Comfort” – together they are the same
Haftorah as Parshat Noach.
