Ahavas Hashem Spurs Us Beyond Our Limits
In the passuk that we say every day in Krias Shema, ืึฐืึธืึธื ืึดื ืฉืึธืึนืขึท ืชึผึดืฉืึฐืึฐืขืึผ ืึถื ืึดืฆึฐืึนืชึทื ืึฒืฉืึถืจ ืึธื ึนืึดื ืึฐืฆึทืึผึถื ืึถืชึฐืึถื ืึทืึผืึนื ืึฐืึทืึฒืึธื ืึถืช ืโ ืึฑืึนืงึตืืึถื, we are instructed to love Hakadosh Baruch Hu with endless, limitless love: ืึผึฐืึธื ืึฐืึทืึฐืึถื ืึผืึฐืึธื ื ึทืคึฐืฉืึฐืึถื.
Now, we are obligated in the 613 mitzvos regardless, as we see in the beginning of the passuk. What is added by this obligation to love Hakadosh Baruch Hu โ and to such an extent?
Itโs well-known from Rโ Zelmaleh of Volozhin that a person really possesses the ability to carry out feats that are far greater than what we generally imagine that a person could do. Rโ Zelmaleh gives the example of a person who is desperate to pick up an extremely heavy object. Such an object would normally be beyond a personโs physical ability to lift, but if heโs desperate โ such as if, chas vโshalom, his child is stuck underneath it โ he will find the kochos to lift it. Thatโs because a person really does have tremendous strength. Generally, though, we are limited by our perception of whatโs within our ability. But when a person is desperate, then he knows no boundaries or limitations.
This is the meaning of the obligation to love Hashem ืึผึฐืึธื ืึฐืึทืึฐืึถื ืึผืึฐืึธื ื ึทืคึฐืฉืึฐืึถื. When we do the mitzvos with our entire heart and mind, that will propel and enable us to do things that we would otherwise consider impossible. The Ohr Sameiโach, for instance, learned Torah beyond what we would consider within a personโs natural abilities, and he explained that this was because it was his entire life โ and if itโs a personโs entire life, then he finds the kochos.
Last week we read Megillas Eichah, in which the passuk says, ืึทืึผึตืึฐืืึผ ืึผึฐืึนื ืึนืึท ืึดืคึฐื ึตื ืจืึนืึตืฃ โ we were prodded forth and had to trudge alongึท, even when we had no kochos at all, because we were urged on by the swords or bayonets of our enemies. The Midrash observes that before the churban, when we were told to do mitzvos, we would sometimes say, โI donโt have the kochos for it; I canโt.โ And Hakadosh Baruch Hu demonstrated, ืึทืึผึตืึฐืืึผ ืึผึฐืึนื ืึนืึท โ even if you think you have no kochos, when itโs ืึดืคึฐื ึตื ืจืึนืึตืฃ, when thereโs an enemy there and your life is at stake, that propels you forward, and suddenly you find the inner resources and kochos to be able to do it.
That should be the way we relate to our Torah and our mitzvos. When the Torah instructs us to do something, if we do it with love for Hashem ืึผึฐืึธื ืึฐืึทืึฐืึถื, then we will find the kochos to be able to do it.
When Pushed to the Brink
The Gemara, in Temurah, relates that Osniel ben Kenaz begged Hakadosh Baruch Hu: โGive me hatzlachah in my limud haTorah, give me talmidim, give me further opportunities in Torah โ and if not, I will descend into the sheโol, in depression and in despair.โ Rโ Chaim Shmuelevitz wondered what he was trying to achieve; was he threatening Hakadosh Baruch Hu? Rโ Chaim explained that he was expressing how important this was to him.
If a person views a mitzvah as an additional advantage, then thereโs a limit to how much he will be prepared to exert himself for it. But if he understands that if he does not succeed in his Torah and yiras Shamayim, he will essentially descend to sheโol โ it will be the destruction and tragedy of his entire life โ then he will beg Hakadosh Baruch Hu to help him, beyond his natural, physical human abilities.
In Parshas Ki Seitzei, the Torah gives this description of Klal Yisraelโs condition at the time of Amalekโs attack: ืึฐืึทืชึผึธื ืขึธืึตืฃ ืึฐืึธืึตืขึท ืึฐืึนื ืึธืจึตื ืึฑืึนืงึดืื. Simply understood, the words ืึฐืึนื ืึธืจึตื ืึฑืึนืงึดืื refer to Amalek, who did not fear Hashem. The Netziv explains, however, that the reason Amalek came is that Klal Yisrael weakened in divrei Torah; they were too tired to do a mitzvah.
Why were they ืขึธืึตืฃ ืึฐืึธืึตืขึท? Because ืึฐืึนื ืึธืจึตื ืึฑืึนืงึดืื โ they didnโt have the requisite degree of yiras Shamayim. If a person considers something extremely important โ if his yiras Shamayim is so strong that he understands that if he does not succeed in this, it will be the end of his life โ then he will never come to a stage of ืขึธืึตืฃ ืึฐืึธืึตืขึท.
Michal bas Shaul complained that her husband, Dovid Hamelech, was ืึฐืคึทืึผึตื ืึผืึฐืึทืจึฐืึผึตืจ โ he was dancing beyond what was normal for a king to do in public, in honor of the aron, for the kavod of the Torah. She complained to him, โYouโre doing something unusual and abnormal, and you shouldnโt be doing that in front of Klal Yisrael.โ
Sadly, she was punished: ืึผืึฐืึดืืึทื ืึผึทืช ืฉืึธืืึผื ืึนื ืึธืึธื ืึธืึผ ืึธืึธื ืขึทื ืืึนื ืืึนืชึธืึผ โ she wasnโt zocheh to have children until she died. Why did she deserve this punishment for criticizing Dovid Hamelech? The Nitzotzei Tziyon and other sefarim give the following explanation. Hakadosh Baruch Hu blesses us with children, and He gives us the wonderful opportunity to educate our children. To be mechanech children successfully, we must be prepared to do anything and everything for them, with no limit. Since Michal told Dovid Hamelech, โEverything has to be with constraints, in the right measure โ you canโt overdo it,โ Hashem responded by deciding that she was not worthy of being mechanech the next generation: โI canโt entrust to you a heiligeh, precious Yiddishe child if thatโs the way you look at avodas Hashem.โ
If, however, a person is able to extend himself beyond his natural capabilities, ืึฐืึทืึฒืึธื ืึถืช ืโ ืึฑืึนืงึตืืึถื ืึผึฐืึธื ืึฐืึทืึฐืึถื, then Hakadosh Baruch Hu blesses us with children, in whom we must invest our kochos that same way.
In this vein, Rโ Chaim Shmuelevitz gives the following explanation of Moshe Rabbeinuโs complaint to Hakadosh Baruch Hu: How can I provide food for 600,000, or two million, people in the midbar? As he expresses: ืึถืึธื ึนืึดื ืึธืจึดืืชึดื ืึตืช ืึธึผื ืึธืขึธื ืึทืึถึผื ืึดื ืึธื ึนืึดื ืึฐืึดืึฐืชึดึผืืืึผ ืึดึผื ืชึนืืึทืจ ืึตืึทื ืฉึธืืึตืืึผ ืึฐืึตืืงึถืึธ โ am I the father or the mother of this entire nation?
What would have happened, asks Rโ Chaim Shmuelevitz, had he truly been the father or mother of the nation? If that were the case, he says, Moshe could not have said that itโs impossible for him to provide for two million people in the midbar. Because educating children is a task that has no limits.
Educating precious Yiddishe children โ whatever the challenge is, however much is demanded of us โ has to be done ืึผึฐืึธื ืึฐืึทืึฐืึถื ืึผืึฐืึธื ื ึทืคึฐืฉืึฐืึถื. And when we do, we will be zocheh to the very same blessing with which Hakadosh Baruch Hu answered the tefillos of Osniel ben Kenaz, as He has demonstrated throughout history.
The Rambam teaches that ืืื ืืขืื ืืืื ืืืืงืฉืื ืืื ืชืืืื ืชืืจื ืืืืชื ืืฉืืืื โ living without Torah and mitzvos is like death. Someone with such an attitude is able to lift a car.
When we appreciate that our children are what we live for, then Hakadosh Baruch Hu will bentch us with superhuman kochos to be able to invest in our children, and to see nachas from each and every one of our wonderful children, ืขึทื ืึตืึธื ืึฐืขึถืฉืึฐืจึดืื ืฉืึธื ึธื.
