Harav Hagaon Meir Wahrsager Shlita

The Power to Reign is Inside You

Parashas Bereishis

Harav Hagaon Meir Wahrsager Shlitโ€™โ€™a

 

Itโ€™s the start of a new year, and one of the things every Yid has to be ready for is the new battle with the yetzer hara. After spending Elul, Rosh Hashanah, Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, Yom Kippur, and Succos fighting against our archenemy, the yetzer hara, and achieving complete cleansing and kapparah in the process, we have to prepare ourselves for this coming yearโ€™s new battle.

Parashas Bereishis provides us with some important insights for understanding the yetzer haraโ€™s tactics and readying ourselves for the battle against him.

After Hakadosh Baruch Hu accepted Hevelโ€™s korban and rejected Kayinโ€™s, Kayin was distraught. The Sforno explains that Hashemโ€™s rejection of Kayinโ€™s korban wasnโ€™t only because the korban wasnโ€™t a worthy one โ€“ it was because Kayin himself wasnโ€™t worthy. Kayinโ€™s response to this rejection was twofold: ื•ึทื™ึผึดื—ึทืจ ืœึฐืงึทื™ึดืŸ ืžึฐืึนื“ ื•ึทื™ึผึดืคึผึฐืœื•ึผ ืคึผึธื ึธื™ื•.

Rav Yerucham, in Daas Torah, explains that ื•ึทื™ึผึดื—ึทืจ ืœึฐืงึทื™ึดืŸ ืžึฐืึนื“ means that Kayin was upset about the actual deficiency in his offering, while ื•ึทื™ึผึดืคึผึฐืœื•ึผ ืคึผึธื ึธื™ื• refers to the feeling of downfall that came in the aftermath of Hashem rejecting it.

Two things happened to Kayin: he sinned, and then he had a nefilah through the chet. He began wondering, how could I have done this? How could I have sunk so low?

Hakadosh Baruch Hu Himself came to Kayin in an attempt to help him halt this thought pattern. Trying to direct Kayin to do teshuvah, Hakadosh Baruch Hu addressed the two issues that were troubling Kayin: ืœึธืžึผึธื” ื—ึธืจึธื” ืœึธืšึฐ ื•ึฐืœึธืžึผึธื” ื ึธืคึฐืœื•ึผ ืคึธื ึถื™ืšึธ. The second part of the question stresses that even if Kayin sinned, he should not have felt downtrodden.

The Dangerous Layer of Chet

This is a critical idea in the way we deal with chet. The yetzer hara can ensnare anyone, as the passuk says: ื›ึผึดื™ ืึธื“ึธื ืึตื™ืŸ ืฆึทื“ึผึดื™ืง ื‘ึผึธืึธืจึถืฅ ืึฒืฉืึถืจ ื™ึทืขึฒืฉื‚ึถื” ื˜ึผื•ึนื‘ ื•ึฐืœึนื ื™ึถื—ึฑื˜ึธื. But a far more insidious trap of the yetzer hara is how he gets us to react after the chet. If a person feels like a lowlife, and sees himself differently after he said something wrong, or did something wrong, or looked at something he shouldnโ€™t have, he begins to associate himself with the chet.

The Gemara (Succah 52b) says that the yetzer hara comes at a person in three stages: at first, heโ€™s a passerby, then heโ€™s a guest, and then heโ€™s an โ€œish,โ€ which Rashi explains means a baal habayis. The yetzer haraโ€™s primary objective is to become the baal habayis and park himself in the personโ€™s life.

Rav Yerucham notes that even more than the yetzer hara wants to get a person to sin, he wants to capture the person in his clutches after the sin and get him to believe that โ€œThis is who I am.โ€ On the words in Tehillim (32:2): ืึทืฉืึฐืจึตื™ ื ึฐืฉื‚ื•ึผื™ ืคึผึถืฉืึทืข ื›ึผึฐืกื•ึผื™ ื—ึฒื˜ึธืึธื”, Chazal say:

ืืฉืจื™ื• ืœืื“ื ืฉื”ื•ื ื’ื‘ื•ื” ืžืคืฉืขื• ื•ืœื ืคืฉืขื™ื• ื’ื‘ื•ื”ื™ืŸ ืžืžื ื• โ€“ praiseworthy is a person who is higher than his sins, not that his sins are higher than him. In truth, a person is much higher than his chet โ€“ the chet doesnโ€™t really sink him. The yetzer hara, however, convinces us of the opposite.

Explaining Hashemโ€™s second question to Kayin โ€“ ื•ึฐืœึธืžึผึธื” ื ึธืคึฐืœื•ึผ ืคึธื ึถื™ืšึธ โ€“ the Sforno writes that when it is possible to rectify something, there is no reason to feel pain about what happened; rather, a person should focus on trying to repair things in the future. That is the message of the passuk that follows:ื”ึฒืœื•ึนื ืึดื ืชึผึตื™ื˜ึดื™ื‘ ืฉื‚ึฐืึตืช โ€“ youโ€™re much higher than your sin, so why are you concentrating on the past? Instead, go forward, start doing mitzvos, and then youโ€™ll elevate yourself.

Someone once told me that Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz said the following in a vaad. Imagine that a bochur in yeshiva succumbed to his yetzer hara and transgressed the prohibition of gilui arayos, chas vโ€™shalom. What should happen to this bochur?

When Rav Chaim addressed this question to the attendees of the vaad, one person said that the bochur should leave yeshiva. Another one said that he should run to a gadol and find out how to do teshuvah. A third said he should engage in prayer and acts of penitence.

Rav Chaim disagreed. The first thing this bochur should do, he said, is return to the beis midrash the next morning and sit down to learn with his chavrusa.

The chet happened. He stumbled. But the person is much higher than the chet, and he should not associate himself with it.

The passuk in Koheles (10:4) tells us: ืึดื ืจื•ึผื—ึท ื”ึทืžึผื•ึนืฉืึตืœ ืชึผึทืขึฒืœึถื” ืขึธืœึถื™ืšึธ ืžึฐืงื•ึนืžึฐืšึธ ืึทืœ ืชึผึทื ึผึทื— ื›ึผึดื™ ืžึทืจึฐืคึผึตื ื™ึทื ึผึดื™ื—ึท ื—ึฒื˜ึธืึดื™ื ื’ึผึฐื“ื•ึนืœึดื™ื. The Vilna Gaon explains this to mean that if the yetzer hara ensnares you and causes you to sin, donโ€™t move away from who you were before the chet; continue on exactly as before. A human being is much bigger than his chet, no matter how terrible the chet was, and if he continues to learn Torah and do maasim tovim, he can cure himself. But the first step is to go back to the beis midrash โ€“ to realize that youโ€™re still a yeshiva bochur, youโ€™re still good, and you can even be one of the metzuyanim of the yeshiva. Afterwards, you still have to deal with what you did, and go through the process of teshuvah, but what shouldnโ€™t happen is the downfall that typically follows the chet.

Taking Control of the Yetzer Hara

Unfortunately, Kayin did not absorb the lesson that Hashem was trying to teach him, which is perhaps the reason that he then went and killed Hevel โ€“ he spiraled even further downward. What he should have done was to jump right back into the beis midrash.

Everyone makes mistakes, and in moments of weakness, people can even make big mistakes. The main problem is the reaction to those mistakes. If you let the yetzer hara convince you that you are a lowlife, and you associate with the chet, then the yetzer hara really got you. But if you stay higher than the chet, then the yetzer hara didnโ€™t get you. The chet itself, youโ€™ll be able to do teshuvah for afterwards.

This was Hashemโ€™s message to Kayin: ืึดื ืชึผึตื™ื˜ึดื™ื‘ ืฉื‚ึฐืึตืช โ€“ if you move forward and do good, youโ€™ll see that you really are higher than your sin. However, ื•ึฐืึดื ืœึนื ืชึตื™ื˜ึดื™ื‘ ืœึทืคึผึถืชึทื— ื—ึทื˜ึผึธืืช ืจึนื‘ึตืฅ โ€“ if you donโ€™t forge ahead and do good, then the yetzer hara is going to have you in his clutches.

In the words that follow โ€“ ื•ึฐืึตืœึถื™ืšึธ ืชึผึฐืฉืื•ึผืงึธืชื•ึน ื•ึฐืึทืชึผึธื” ืชึผึดืžึฐืฉืึธืœ ื‘ึผื•ึน โ€“ Hakadosh Baruch Hu defines the relationship between a Yid and the yetzer hara. On one hand, a person has a tremendous desire to follow the yetzer hara and succumb to taavah, โ€“ but on the other hand, he also has the power to conquer the yetzer hara.

This passuk seems to be in direct contradiction with a famous Gemara (Succah 52), which says that the yetzer hara provokes a person every day, and if not for Hashemโ€™s help, the person would be unable to overcome it. If a person is, indeed, powerless against the yetzer hara, then how could Hashem tell Kayin that he has the power to overcome it?

The Sforno explains that the way a person overcomes his yetzer hara is through the power of the tzelem Elokim that he possesses. A superficial understanding of the Gemara would lead us to believe that Hashem helps a person overcome the yetzer hara by sending him some sort of external assistance โ€“ perhaps a malach, perhaps a vision akin to the one Yosef saw when he perceived his father Yaakov in front of him in a moment of temptation. In truth, however, the Divine assistance is from within the person himself. Hakadosh Baruch Hu is part of us โ€“ weโ€™re created in His image, and thereโ€™s a ื—ืœืง ืืœื•ืง ืžืžืขืœ inside every Yid. There is no contradiction between the passuk and the Gemara โ€“ without Hashemโ€™s assistance, a person would truly be unable to overcome the yetzer hara, but the assistance is built into the person, so that he does, indeed, possess the power of ื•ึฐืึทืชึผึธื” ืชึผึดืžึฐืฉืึธืœ ื‘ึผื•ึน.

No matter how strong the yetzer hara is, no matter how long youโ€™ve been dealing with a particular yetzer hara, and no matter how low you feel youโ€™ve fallen, the tzelem Elokim within you allows you to rise above your misdeeds. There should never be a situation of ื•ึทื™ึผึดืคึผึฐืœื•ึผ ืคึผึธื ึธื™ื•, and we should not underestimate the koach and the gadlus of a human being.

As we enter the new year, we have to realize that chet happens to everyone โ€“ but the resulting downfall doesnโ€™t have to. You have a tzelek Elokim, and you have greatness that makes you unstoppable: ื•ึฐืึทืชึผึธื” ืชึผึดืžึฐืฉืึธืœ ื‘ึผื•ึน.

Gut Shabbos.
