Hayom Yom 25 Sivan - If there is worry in your heart, minimize it
Manage episode 426433984 series 3320921
דְּאָגָה בְלֶב אִישׁ יַשְׁחֶנָּה
It is written: “If there is worry in a man’s heart, he should minimize it (yashchenah).”
וְאָמְרוּ רַזַ"ל שְׁנֵי פֵּרוּשִׁים
Our Sages interpret this in two ways:
יַסִּיחֶנָּה מִדַּעְתּוֹ
(a) he should take his mind off it (yasichenah, spelled with the letter samech),
יְשִׂיחֶנָּה לַאֲחֵרִים
or (b) he should relate it to others (yesichenah, spelled with the letter sin).
וּפֵרֵשׁ הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶק
On this the Tzemach Tzedek commented
לַאֲחֵרִים רַק בְּגוּף
that “others” refers to people who are only physically separate from the speaker,
אֲבָל מְאוּחָדִים אִתּוֹ עִמּוֹ
but are united with him in spirit,
שֶׁמַרְגִּישִׁים אֶת עִנְיָנוֹ
sensitive to his concerns.
