On video: Rabbi Shai Tahan (PR)
On Shabbat, we will read in the synagogue the Parshat Che Tsha in which appears the iniquity of the sin of the calf that was badly enacted in the history of the Jewish people.
Moshe Rabbinu is supposedly late to come down from Mount Sinai, and what do the people do?
They started eating meat and playing.
On the other hand, Rashi is accurate in the wording of the verse that the people voiced complaints that caused torture in everyone who heard them. Rabbi Shai Tahan, head of the Sha'arei Ezra community and head of the Erzi HaLebanon teaching house, asks Rabbi, because there is a contradiction here, on the one hand they played, laughed and rejoiced and on the other hand they were tortured.
Rabbi Tahan explains that there is a dramatic difference between the joy of a mitzvah and the joy that is not of a mitzvah. The joy that comes from a mitzvah pleases the soul and fills it, on the other hand - the joy that comes from an offense - is a simulated joy that only causes torture. The same is true in our daily lives, one should
know Distinguish between real joy and fake joy. Watch his full words.
