with together with the “Kelipot” \ the “Forces of Defilement,” as .רוּמָא ןוֹמָמ תַאָנוֹא ירֲֵה ,"ךֶָתיִמֲע דַיִּמ הֹנקָ וֹא ךֶָתיִמֲעַל
is written in our holy books and as is quoted by the Vilna Gaon
in his commentary on Mishle. But if this person is righteous and תַאָנוֹאְבּ ?"וֹתיִמֲע תֶא שׁיִא וּנוֹת אלְֹו" ,םֵיּקְַמ יִנֲא הָמ אָה
does not follow the advice of evil people and never associates ,וֹל רַמאֹי לַא ,הָבוּשְׁתּ לַעַבּ הָיָה םִא ?דַציֵכּ אָה .םירִָבְדּ
with scoffers, then necessarily all of his actions and all of his
conversation will be just without any deficiencies. This person הָיָה םִא .'וּכְו םירִֵגּ ןֶבּ הָיָה םִא ,םיִנוֹשׁארִָה ךָיֶשֲׂעַמ רֹכְז
is worthy to bond to Hashem’s Torah and study it day and night. תוֹלֵבְנ לַכָאֶשׁ הֶפּ :וֹל רַמאֹי לַא ,הרָוֹתּ דֹמְלִל אָבוּ רֵגּ
This is what the pasuk states (Tehilim 1:2) “and he toils in His
Torah day and night.” He will not waste even a single minute יִפִּמ הרְָמֶאֶנֶּשׁ הרָוֹתּ דֹמְלִל אָבּ ,םיִשָׂמרְוּ םיִצקְָשׁ ,תוֹפרְֵטוּ
because every single word of Torah that he will speak becomes
very exalted and more precious than the finest refined gold. All רָאְשׁ וֹא ,תוֹפרְֵטוּ תוֹלֵבְנ לֵכוֹא הָתַּע םַגּ םִאְו[ !?הרָוּבְגַּה
of this is because this person was careful about every word that ַעדֵוֹי אוּה םַגּ יאַדַּוְבוּ ,רוּסִּאְל לֵארְָשִׂיְבּ םָסרְֻפְמַה ןיִואָל
came out of his mouth and did not ruin it so that it became flawed.
This person is like (Tehilim 1:3) “A deeply rooted tree next to a וֹבּ ןיֵאְו ,"ךֶָתיִמֲע" לַלְכִּמ אֵצוֹי אוּה ,דיִזֵמְבּ רֵבוֹעְו ,הֶזִּמ
spring of water” and all of the additional blessings written in .]הֵּמּקְַלדְִכוּ םירִָבְדּ תַאָנוֹא רוּסִּא
Sefer Tehilim will befall him. And the words the pasuk end
with (Tehilim 1:4) “Not so the wicked, they are like the chaff
that is blown by the wind,” referring to evil people and scoffers ,ויָנָבּ תֶא רֵבּקְַמ הָיָהֶשׁ וֹא ,ויָלָע םיִאָבּ םירִוּסִּי וּיָה םִא
who busy themselves constantly with empty words and mockery
even though at times they intermingle words of Torah into their :)'ז-'ו 'ד בוֹיִּא( בוֹיִּאְל וירֵָבֲח וֹל וּרְמָאֶשׁ ךְרֶדְֶכּ ,וֹל רַמאֹי לַא
mockery, these words are considered as being “chaff.” With this אוּה יִמ אָנ רָכְז ,ךָיֶכרְָדּ םֹתְו ךְָתָוקְִתּ ךֶָתָלְסִכּ ךְָתָארְִי אלֲֹה"
the pasuk concludes (Tehilim 1:5) “Therefore the wicked will not
emerge victorious,” meaning that tiny amount of Torah that is אלֹ ,וּנֶּמִּמ הָאוּבְתּ םיִשְׁקַּבְמ םירִָמַּח וּיָה םִא ."דָבָא יקִָנ
mixed in with their conversation will have no strength of sanctity ,וֹבּ ַעדֵוֹיְו ,הָאוּבְתּ רֵכוֹמ אוּהֶשׁ ,יִנוֹלְפּ לֶצֵא וּכְל ,רַמאֹי
to advocate for them at their moment of Judgment.
ויָניֵע הֶלְתִי אלֹ ףַא :רֵמוֹא הָדוּהְי 'ר .םָלוֹעֵמ רַכָמ אלֶֹּשׁ
