The Magnetic Pull to Hashem
Parshas Nasso
Harav Hagaon Yehuda Wagshal shlita
In this weekโs parshaha we have the korbanos of the Nesiโim; each day, one Nasi brought a korban, and each korban was exactly the same. Yet the Torah repeats, at length, the details of each Nasiโs korban.
Why didnโt the Torah just write that each day one of the Nesiโim brought a korban and state, once, what the korban was? Why does it have to repeat the details of each identical korban?
The answer is that although the Nesiโim all brought the same korban, they did not do so because they were commanded to bring this specific offering. Each one decided, on his own, to bring this korban, without discussing it with the others. The Torah enumerates each oneโs offering individually because each one brought his korban independently.
Now, obviously, as Chazal say, the Nesiโim had ruach hakodesh when deciding what korban to bring. And in this context, the Shem MiShmuel differentiates between ruach hakodesh and nevuah. No two neviโim deliver their nevuos in exactly the same way, as Chazal teach that ืืื ืฉื ื ื ืืืืื ืืชื ืืืื ืืกืื ืื ืืื.
A nevuah is not something that a person knows by himself. Itโs a message that Hashem tells him, which he has to process. Since each navi is a unique individual, no two neviim absorb their nevuah the same way, nor do they express their nevuah in the same style.
The Nesiโimโs inspiration, says the Shem MiShmuel came not from nevuah, but from ruach hakodesh. Although Hashem didnโt command them to bring a specific korban, they understood on their own that Hashemโs ratzon was for them to bring this particular korban. They all figured it out themselves, which means that at this time, they reached a madreigah of instinctively knowing the ratzon of Hakadosh Baruch Hu without being told anything.
The Shem MiShmuel sees this concept of doing ratzon Hashem instinctively, without being told, in last weekโs parshah as well, where Bnei Yisrael are counted. All the shevatim were counted from the age of twenty, except Shevet Levi, whose members were counted from the age of thirty days. Why were Shevet Levi counted from this young age?
After Klal Yisrael said naaseh vโnishma at Har Sinai, they sinned with the eigel, and then, the Midrash teaches, Hashem told them: ืฉืืจืชื ื ืขืฉื ืืืืจื ืื ืฉืืข โ you destroyed naaseh, be careful with nishma.
Removing the Barrier
The Avnei Nezer, the Shem MiShmuelโs father, gives the following explanation. What does it mean that Klal Yisrael said naaseh before nishma? How could they do before hearing what to do? The answer is that Klal Yisrael reached a madreigah where they instinctively knew what Hashem wants, and what the mitzvos are, without ever being commanded. But how is it possible to determine what Hashem wants without being told?
The Mesillas Yesharim teaches that essentially, deveikus with Hakadosh Baruch comes naturally; the neshamah is drawn to Him as metal is drawn to a magnet. Theoretically, then, a person needs to do nothing in order to come close to Hashem.
If so, why isnโt every person automatically davuk to Hakadosh Baruch Hu? Returning to the mashal of metal and the magnet, the two can only be drawn to each other if thereโs no barrier between them. If a barrier exists between the two, they cannot connect. Similarly, the physicality of our guf separates our neshamah from Hashem, preventing it from coming close to Him.
Since the problem is the barrier, if you want to come close to Hashem, you donโt really have to work on connection. You have to work on breaking down the walls, or at least minimizing them. Once thereโs no wall, or the wall has been reduced, you will naturally be drawn close to Hashem.
At the moment of Maamad Har Sinai, Chazal say, ืคืกืงื ืืืืืชื โ Klal Yisraelโs contamination disappeared, meaning that a personโs guf, his โself,โ no longer created a mechitzah between his neshamah and Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Once the mechitzos fell, there was natural pull drawing each personโs neshamah to Hashem.
How does a neshamah come close to Hashem? By doing mitzvos. The Zohar Hakadosh teaches that the 613 mitzvos are 613 eitzos, ideas of how to reach deveikus in Hashem. So if, in the absence of any mechitzah, we are naturally drawn to Hashem, we also know, naturally, how to do the mitzvos. When Klal Yisrael said naaseh, therefore, they reached the madreigah of being drawn naturally to Hakadosh Baruch Hu, and instinctively knowing His will. But then they sinned with the eigel, reverting to the state of zuhama in which the guf creates an obstruction between us and Hakadosh Baruch Hu.
Shibartem naaseh โ we lost that madreigah of naaseh, but we still had nishma. Naaseh means doing Hashemโs will naturally, instinctively. Nishma means doing Hashemโs will through understanding and processing and learning.
The Avnei Nezer goes on to explain that the reason Klal Yisrael are counted from the age of twenty is that this is the age when a person becomes a full bar daas who is wholly responsible for his actions; heโs a bar onshin even min hashamayim. When a personโs avodah is nishma, he counts fully from the age of twenty, when he is in full possession of daas and can achieve the nishma. But Shevet Levi, who did not sin with the eigel, were still on the level of naaseh. Therefore, they could be counted from the age of thirty days, which marks the first day of established life; until then, an infant is considered a possible nefel who might not survive. As soon as a child from Shevet Levi reached the age where he was considered truly alive, he had the naaseh.
The rest of Klal Yisrael is nishma, but Shevet Levi is naaseh, and thatโs why theyโre counted from the age of thirty days.
Naaseh After Nishma
In any event, we see that a madreigah exists at which a Yid can instinctively know the ratzon of Hashem. The Nesiโim reached this madreigah, the level of naaseh, when they brought their korbanos. How did they attain that level?
At the beginning of the pesukim that descibe the offerings of the Nesiโim, the passuk states, ย ืึทืึฐืึดื ืึฐึผืืึนื ืึทึผืึผืึนืช ืึนืฉึถืื ืึฐืึธืงึดืื ืึถืช ืึทืึดึผืฉึฐืืึธึผื. Rashi says that the term ืึทึผืึผืึนืช is related to the word kallah, and that on that day Klal Yisrael were like a kallah at her chuppah.
What is the meaning of this analogy? A kallah represents the concept of hisbatlus. The kinyan of kiddushin works, explains the Ran in Nedarim, is not that the kallah is makneh herself like a regular kinyan. Rather, she makes herself available for the husband to be koneh her and bring her into his reshus.
This is the meaning of the concept that an ishah kesheirah is one who does the will of her husband. Often, a wife understands instinctively what her husband wants, without being told. Because of her hisbatlus, she possesses the intuition that guides her to do his will.
Similarly, on this day when the Mishkan was completed, the Nesiโim attained the madreigah of naaseh, and they naturally knew how to do the ratzon of Hashem, just as Klal Yisrael had known how to do Hashemโs ratzon when they were at Har Sinai.
We, today, are obviously no longer at the madreigah of naaseh. Naaseh is broken; we have to observe the nishma. But itโs still important for a Yid to know that there is this concept of naaseh, because it has practical applications even today.
True, we canโt decide on our own that something is ratzon Hashem just because our instincts tell us that; that approach could lead us to a lot of bad places. Yet the concept of naaseh is still relevant to the way we approach the mechitzos that separate us from Hakadosh Baruch Hu.
To someone who is separated from Hakadosh Baruch Hu by a very thick mechitzah, even the nishma doesnโt come naturally. He knows whatโs right, and he knows he has to do it, but doing it is always a huge struggle, and he doesnโt feel drawn to it. Someone who has less of a mechitzah between him and Hashem, whose โselfโ is less of a barrier, will experience it differently.
Although weโre not at the madreigah to figure things out ourselves, once we hear the nishma, we can revert back to a little bit of naaseh too. Our response can be: โOkay, thatโs what I have to do? Iโm all in, and Iโm naturally part of it.โ This is a major difference. Though we can no longer achieve naaseh before nishma, perhaps, on some level, we can attain naaseh after nishma, by feeling a cheshek to do what we have to do, and being drawn toward avodas Hashem.
Besides working on nishma โ listening, understanding, and knowing what Hashem wants โ we also have to work on breaking down the mechitzos between us and Hakadosh Baruch Hu that come from the focus on gashmiyus, so that we can be zocheh to some level of naaseh.
