Harav Hagaon Yaakov Moshe Katz Shlita
Choosing the Best
Parashas Behaaloscha starts with a discussion of Aharonโs lighting the neiros, and Rashi questions why this is juxtaposed with the offerings of the nesiโim. He answers that Aharon felt bad because all the nesiโim offered korbanos during the Chanukas HaMishkan, and he wasnโt part of it, so Hashem told him, โYours is greater than theirs.โ
The Rambam asks: Is lighting the menorah the only avodah Aharon Hakohen performed that the nesiโim didnโt? Aharon did many unique things: He offered korbanos, brought the ketores, and performed the avodah on Yom Kippur. Even if on one occasion the nesiโim did something that he didnโt do, he still did so many more things that they didnโt do. So why did he feel so bad?
R’ Chatzkel Levenstein explains this based on the passuk: ืึนืึตื ืึถึผืกึถืฃ ืึนื ืึดืฉึฐืืึทึผืข ืึถึผืกึถืฃ. Did you ever hear someone say, โNow that Iโm a millionaire, Iโm very happy, because now Iโm not going to have to work so hard any more or invest my moneyโ? No! If you make a million, youโre thinking already about making the next million. Once you make a few million, youโre thinking about a billion. The more you have, the more you want. Why? Because money makes a big difference in your life, enhancing your existence. Every person wants the best for himself, and when you want the best, you can never have enough. If thereโs something new that he doesnโt have, he wants it. He wants the most beautiful house and the latest model car, with all the trimmings. If his neighbor has a pool, he wants one too. He wants all the pleasures in life โ because a person wants to have the best. Thatโs human nature.
The difference between Aharon and other people is that other people typically look for whatโs best for them in the realm of gashmiyus, and forget about the world of ruchniyus. Aharon Hakohen, in contrast, knew that ruchniyus is whatโs really important and best for a person.
When we see someone who has a really cool car, we think, โMmm, I wouldnโt mind having that car.โ When we hear that someone is going on a vacation, we donโt say, โWell, I already went on seventeen vacations and I did a lot of other things in my lifeโ; we say โMmm, I want that too.โ
When it came to ruchniyus, Aharon was exactly the same way. He also said, โI want the bestโ โ but he knew clearly what was best. Even though he did a lot and had a lot, when he saw the korbanos of the nesiโim, and realized that they had done something that he hadnโt, he wanted that spiritual achievement as well.
Your Environment Defines Your Goals
This is why it really matters where you hang out and whom you hang around with.
If youโre living in a world where everyoneโs oohing and aahing about this oneโs car, the money that one made so quickly, and the one who is being honored, then thatโs whatโs going to seem meaningful to you. But if you associate with tzaddikim and talmidei chachamim, for whom the world of ruchniyus is what counts, that helps to impress upon you that thereโs never enough Torah. You see the way they learn Torah, the way they do mitzvos, the way they help people, and the way they always want more Torah and mitzvos, and it inspires you.
We find a similar idea later in the parashah, regarding Pesach Sheini. The people who were tamei were exempt from bringing a Korban Pesach. They could have thought, โGreat! Now weโre off the hook!โ But instead they asked: ืึธืึธึผื ื ึดืึธึผืจึทืข?
The Ohr Hachaim explains that they knew they were tamei and they couldnโt bring the Korban Pesach. They were not asking a halachic question of whether they could bring the korban; their question was much deeper: โWe are losing out,โ they were saying. โWe see other people bringing the Korban Pesach โ why canโt we have this opportunity?โ Similarly, a person might see people shteiging in the beis midrash on Sunday and feel ืึธืึธึผื ื ึดืึธึผืจึทืข โ why am I losing out? Why am I sitting on the couch wasting time?
Buried by Taavah
Later in the parashah, we find the flipside of this lesson. The Yidden had the mann, which featured so many delicious flavors, but was missing a few tastes: ืึตืช ืึทืงึดึผืฉึปึผืืึดืื ืึฐืึตืช ืึธืึฒืึทืึดึผืึดืื ืึฐืึถืช ืึถืึธืฆึดืืจ ืึฐืึถืช ืึทืึฐึผืฆึธืึดืื ืึฐืึถืช ืึทืฉึผืืึผืึดืื. Were they happy with their ice cream parlor that had a hundred flavors? No! โDid you hear about the new place that just opened? It has a hundred and eighty flavors, Iโm going!โ They were missing the meat; they wanted more. So Hakadosh Baruch Hu sent them the slav, and they ate it until they died, in a place called Kivros Hataavah.
R’ Chatzkel Levenstein notes the significance of this name: Their taavah buried them.
A person has a choice whether his aspirations will be in ruchniyus or in gashmiyus. If his sheโifos are in gashmiyus, heโll never have enough; heโs always going to strive to attain more and more. Ultimately, heโll find himself in Kivros Hataavah, buried by his desires and unable to elevate himself to become the great person he could have been.
Why Run Away?
Where did this decline start? The Ramban, citing the Gemara in Shabbos, says that the reason backward nuns are placed around the pesukim beginning ืึทืึฐืึดื ืึดึผื ึฐืกึนืขึท ืึธืึธืจึนื is to insert a break between puraniyos, the first of which was ืึทืึดึผืกึฐืขืึผ ืึตืึทืจ ื’. What puranus was that? The Ramban explains that the Yidden left Har Sinai โืืชืื ืืง ืืืืจื ืืืืช ืืกืคืจ,โ like a child running out of school.
At the end of a shiur, you can see people like these. They are the ones who realize that the rebbi is winding down, and start looking at the clock every two seconds, banging their shtenders, and getting up. The rebbi, nebach, is still trying to say one more vort, but theyโre already plotzing to get out. โWhen is this shiur over?โ theyโre wondering. โItโs so long! Itโs boring. I donโt connect to this.โ These people are ืืชืื ืืง ืืืืจื ืืืืช ืืกืคืจ. The beis midrash feels like jail to them, because they have no appreciation of what theyโre doing there, and theyโd rather be doing a hundred other things.
The Yidden were learning and shteiging at Har Sinai, but then they had enough: ืึทืึดึผืกึฐืขืึผ ืึตืึทืจ ื’. They didnโt realize that every word of Torah has the power to uplift and transform a person, bringing him unparalleled reward. All the pleasure in this world cannot rival one moment of pleasure in the next world.
A child running away from school is following his desire for the taavos of this world. And the reason a person behaves this way is simple: He wants whatโs best for him.
Then you have people who say, โOoh, I canโt wait for Sunday when I can learn โ it makes my life! Iโm waiting to do that mitzvah, give that tzedakah, do that kibbud av vโeim. It empowers me!โ
The question then becomes, what do you think is best for you? Itโs either-or: ืื ืืขืืืช ืื ืขืฉื ืืืืงืื. When a person understands that ruchniyus is the best thing in the world for him, then that becomes his sheโifah in life, and he runs after ruchniyus โ as we see at the beginning of the parashah, with Aharon Hakohen and Pesach Sheini. But the Yidden didnโt learn from Aharon; they learned from the eirev rav. They hung around with the wrong people, and what happened? โOy, I canโt! The shiur is so long! I canโt go to learn, Iโm plotzing, itโs so hard for me.โ
We see, then, that there is a ladder of aliyah and a ladder of yeridah. Ask yourself: where do you feel you want the best in life? In your clothing? Your car? Your house? Your vacation? Your bank account? Or do you want your best in ruchniyus? What is your goal in life? In which area do you ask: ืึธืึธึผื ื ึดืึธึผืจึทืข?
The truth is that deep down, every Yid knows the truth; I donโt have to convince you, because you all know inside whatโs real. Itโs just good to remind ourselves and reignite that deep sheโifah inside of ourselves.
Hashem should help all of us to perfect ourselves, to be zocheh to ruchniyus, and to grow more and more.
