Reply To: Chidushim on Daf Yomi

We include in a minyan the good and bad. We can look at it relatively or absolutely. It is very important to see ourselves in unity. A great tzadik in a minyan actually can hurt others by openning a question above, why aren’t you like him? So we include the rashoim also to compare us to them. Sometimes a tzadik like Chanoch, who was only concerned for himself. is c’v taken away before his time to be kapora on us but if the tzadik cares for our behavior then he will live long. The Daroshes Haran explains that chelbno with its bad smell was included in the spices to wake up the others and strenghten them to overcome its smell. So maybe, like Yaakov llearned from Aisov what not to do, so do we learn from the rashoim how not to behave. As mentioned before, the tzadik gets paid for his bad deeds in this world and the reward for his good deeds is left for the next world, whereas the rasha is the opposite. He gets paid for his good deeds over here and his bad deeds in the next world. We can learn from a rasha how to do mitzvos with great desire as they do aveiros.
