This coming Shabbat we will read in the synagogue the Parashat Ra'a, in which the Torah presents us with the ability to choose for better or worse. But it turns out that if a person does a good deed he affects not only himself but the whole world. How do you see this in the affair? Here is the words of the Admor Rabbi Josiah Pinto - Rosh Avot Beit Din in Morocco. The

Holy Torah tells us in this week's Torah portion, And Mount Ebal set six tribes on one mountain and six tribes on another mountain and below were the priests and Levites who would say the blessings and curses, cursed on one side and blessed on the other.

If we delve into the verse we see something incomprehensible, the verse begins to see in a single language and continues before you in many languages, it is known that the Torah grammars great grammar in all the words in the Torah and here there is something inaccurate, if the Torah says "see" in a single language you will continue "before you" Many "before you" that will also say "see" in the plural, so why does the Torah begin here see in the singular and continue before you in the plural?

But perhaps we thought to interpret and say so, the Gemara says (Kiddushin M.) A person will never see himself as half obligated and half entitled to do one mitzvah Blessed is he who decided himself to the right of a past transgression. Answer C, D) The evil instinct tries to put the person into thought and reality that everything that happens to him in life is a very small person, does not raise or lower, does not add or subtract. If he commits an offense who will see him and who will know from him, gives him a feeling that he is small and no one will notice it.

But the Torah tells us otherwise, this is the advice of the evil instinct and man will always see the world as two scales half obligated and half entitled, everything stands half in half and all the people of Israel depend on scales.

Do a mitzvah very small so best go downstairs and harder and did a great thing for the whole people of Israel, did God forbid offense reduced the scale to the other side of the non-good and devastated and ruined everything.

According to this we understand, Moses goes both mountains where the tribes six Six and tell them blessing good weight and curse bad weight, Moses is meticulous and says see in a single tongue that the person will look that he is alone but in front of you many tongues, you are one but everyone has weight in the scales for good and evil to lower or lift and man can change everything, this is what Moshe Rabbeinu teaches The people of Israel, every act of man takes not only him alone, but the whole world for good or the whole world for evil.
