Mod-72, why’d you stop updating the front page? and why are we losing previous posters, and not getting new recruits? (I could leave choose to leave the CR you know!)
?????-?? ?????.
Rashi translates ?? to mean ???? (for Hashem)
Why do we need ???? here more so than by other mitzvos?
There is the famous question why it says ?????-??, take for me, rather than ????? ??? The answer is that just like when you give something to an important person, you get enjoyment out of it, so too when you give to HaKadosh Baruch Hu.
(The famous “Mean Joe Greene” Coca-Cola commercial is a good proof of this)
There is a difficulty with this answer. The Ran writes that the giving to an important person is only an enjoyment when it is given completely (with no strings attached)i.e. a ???? ?????. But a present which is temporary (?? ??? ??????) does not give the giver that type of pleasure. Granted if one gives ????? or ???? for the sake of receive a reward, he has done a mitzva, but this still does not remove him from the category of ?? ??? ??????, since there is a string attached (and thus he does not have the same level of joy).
Therefore Rashi said ?? to mean ???? (for Hashem). That by ????? there is a special need to do it for Hashem (thus not for the sake of receiving a reward). Therefore it is considered a ???? ?????. And thus it is truly a giving which is actually a receiving, due to the nature of the gift, and the level of ?????? of the recipient.
??? – ???? ?????
