BRI PARSHAH TIDBITS

“And it shall come to pass, because (eikev) you will listen... HaShem your G-d will keep for you the covenant...” (Devarim 7:12)

Rashi explains: “If you heed even the seemingly minor mitzvos that a person tramples with his heels (eikev).”


We have written previously about Rebbe Nachman's teaching that when a person experiences such deep and genuine joy that it reaches all the way down to his feet, causing him to dance, this too is alluded to by the word vehayah—an expression of joy—and by eikev, the heel. When joy descends all the way to one's heels, a person merits that HaShem Himself, so to speak, guards the covenant (bris) for him.

Joy and guarding the bris always go hand in hand. It is impossible to find someone who has stumbled through forbidden sights and then walks away from the screen with a face filled with genuine joy, serenity, and inner peace. Such a thing simply does not exist.

Reb Avraham Chazan writes in Kokhavei Ohr about the importance of dancing, as was always the custom among Breslov Chassidim. He says that not a single day should pass without dancing, so that we compel ourselves to bring our joy all the way down to our feet. He explains that this is the deeper meaning hidden within Rashi's words, "the mitzvos that a person tramples with his heels."

For many people, it is difficult to see someone dancing simply because he is happy to be a Jew, or because he merited to pray Shacharis, or for any other spiritual achievement. Such behavior is the exact opposite of the world's outlook. Therefore, these are the "mitzvos that a person tramples with his heels" - practices that are difficult even for us as Breslov Chassidim to fulfill with simplicity: to rejoice wholeheartedly and to dance as our predecessors did.

To this, the Torah responds with its holy words: "Vehayah eikev tishme'un." Fill yourselves with joy, dance over the priceless gift of being Jewish, and then you will merit that HaShem Himself will help you guard the holiness of the bris.

May HaShem help us fulfill this teaching with simplicity and sincerity, until we merit to witness the true and complete Redemption. Amen.



Shabbat Shalom

פרק 6/ו
(א) לַמְנַצֵּחַ בִּנְגִינוֹת עַל הַשְּׁמִינִית מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד:
 (ב) ה' אַל בְּאַפְּךָ תוֹכִיחֵנִי וְאַל בַּחֲמָתְךָ תְיַסְּרֵנִי:
 (ג) חָנֵּנִי ה' כִּי אֻמְלַל אָנִי רְפָאֵנִי ה' כִּי נִבְהֲלוּ עֲצָמָי:
(ד) וְנַפְשִׁי נִבְהֲלָה מְאֹד וְאַתָּה ה' עַד מָתָי:
 (ה) שׁוּבָה ה' חַלְּצָה נַפְשִׁי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי לְמַעַן חַסְדֶּךָ:
 (ו) כִּי אֵין בַּמָּוֶת זִכְרֶךָ בִּשְׁאוֹל מִי יוֹדֶה לָּךְ:
 (ז) יָגַעְתִּי בְּאַנְחָתִי אַשְׂחֶה בְכָל לַיְלָה מִטָּתִי בְּדִמְעָתִי עַרְשִׂי אַמְסֶה:
(ח) עָשְׁשָׁה מִכַּעַס עֵינִי עָתְקָה בְּכָל צוֹרְרָי:
 (ט) סוּרוּ מִמֶּנִּי כָּל פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן כִּי שָׁמַע ה' קוֹל בִּכְיִי:
 (י) שָׁמַע ה' תְּחִנָּתִי ה' תְּפִלָּתִי יִקָּח:
 (יא) יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ מְאֹד כָּל אֹיְבָי יָשֻׁבוּ יֵבֹשׁוּ רָגַע:
 
 
1) For the musician, with musical accompaniment on the sheminis instrument, a mizmor by David. (2) Hashem, don’t rebuke me in Your anger. Don’t chastise me in Your rage. (3) Grant me Your mercy, Hashem, for I have been cut down. (4) Heal me, Hashem, for my bones shake with terror. My soul is utterly terrified, and You Hashem — How long? (5) Turn back, Hashem, release my soul. Save me as befits Your kindness ... (6) for there is no mention of You in death. In the grave who will thank You? (7) I am exhausted from groaning; every night my bed is drenched; with my tears I soil the place where I have lain.  (8) My eye is dimmed from anger, aged by all my tormentors. (9) Depart from me all wrongdoers, for Hashem has heard the sound of my weeping. (10) Hashem has heard my plea; Hashem will accept my prayer. (11) They will be ashamed and will be utterly astounded. When all my enemies return, they will be ashamed for a while.
 פרק 20/כ         
(א) לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד:
 (ב) יַעַנְךָ ה' בְּיוֹם צָרָה יְשַׂגֶּבְךָ שֵׁם אֱלֹקֵי יַעֲקֹב:
 (ג) יִשְׁלַח עֶזְרְךָ מִקֹּדֶשׁ וּמִצִּיּוֹן יִסְעָדֶךָּ:
 (ד) יִזְכֹּר כָּל מִנְחֹתֶךָ וְעוֹלָתְךָ יְדַשְּׁנֶה סֶלָה:
 (ה) יִתֶּן לְךָ כִלְבָבֶךָ וְכָל עֲצָתְךָ יְמַלֵּא:
 (ו) נְרַנְּנָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ וּבְשֵׁם אֱלֹקֵינוּ נִדְגֹּל, יְמַלֵּא ה' כָּל מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֶיךָ:
(ז) עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי הוֹשִׁיעַ ה' מְשִׁיחוֹ יַעֲנֵהוּ מִשְּׁמֵי קָדְשׁוֹ בִּגְבֻרוֹת יֵשַׁע יְמִינוֹ:
 (ח) אֵלֶּה בָרֶכֶב וְאֵלֶּה בַסּוּסִים וַאֲנַחְנוּ בְּשֵׁם ה' אֱלֹהֵינוּ נַזְכִּיר:
 (ט) הֵמָּה כָּרְעוּ וְנָפָלוּ וַאֲנַחְנוּ קַּמְנוּ וַנִּתְעוֹדָד:
  (י) ה' הוֹשִׁיעָה הַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם קָרְאֵנוּ:
 
(1) For the musician, a mizmor by David. (2) May Hashem answer you on the day of distress. May the Name of Yaakov’s G-d protect you. (3) May He send your help from the Mikdash; may He support you from Tzion. (4) May He give consideration to all your minchah-offerings. May He accept your olah-offerings, Selah. (5) May He grant you according to your heart. May He fulfill your every plan. (6) We will sing joyously because of your deliverance, and we will gather around banners in the Name of our G-d. May Hashem fulfill all your requests.  (7) Now I know that Hashem continues to save His anointed one. He will continue to answer from His holy heaven, with the mighty victories of His right hand. (8) Some [depend] on chariots, and some on horses. We call out the Name of Hashem, our G-d. (9) They slumped and fell, but we stood up and were empowered. (10) Hashem save! May the King answer us on the day we call.

1A song for ascents. I shall raise my eyes to the mountains, from where will my help come?
2My help is from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3He will not allow your foot to falter; Your Guardian will not slumber.
4Behold the Guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5The Lord is your Guardian; the Lord is your shadow; [He is] by your right hand.
6By day, the sun will not smite you, nor will the moon at night.
7The Lord will guard you from all evil; He will guard your soul.
8The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from now and to eternity.

חוְהוּא יִפְדֶּ֣ה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מִ֜כֹּ֗ל עֲוֹֽנוֹתָֽיו:
 
 
1A song of ascents. From the depths I have called You, O Lord.
2O Lord, hearken to my voice; may Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3O God, if You keep [a record of] iniquities, O Lord, who will stand?
4For forgiveness is with You, in order that You be feared.
5I hoped, O Lord; yea, my soul hoped, and I wait for His word.
6My soul is to the Lord among those who await the morning, those who await the morning.
7Israel, hope to the Lord, for kindness is with the Lord and much redemption is with Him.
8And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities

1A maskil of David, when he was in the cave, a prayer.
2[With] my voice, I cry out to the Lord; [with] my voice, I supplicate the Lord.
3I pour out before Him my speech; my distress I recite before Him.
4When my spirit enwraps itself upon me, and You know my path. In whichever way I go, they have hidden a snare for me.
5Looking to the right, I see that no one recognizes me; escape is lost from me; no one seeks my soul.
6I cried out to You, O Lord; I said, "You are my refuge, my lot in the land of the living."
7Hearken to my cry for I have become very low; save me from my pursuers for they have overpowered me.
8Take my soul out of confinement to give thanks to Your name; because of me the righteous will crown You, because You will recompense me.
