 Now we will speak about the personality flaw of “Anger.”  Anger    ."גֶלָשּׁ ַּכ תַערַֹצְמ וֹדָי הֵּנִהְו" :)'ו( םָשׁ דוֹע ."שָׁחָנְל יִהְיַו 'וֹגְו
 is a very terrible personality trait, so much so that the writings    לַע 'וֹגְו הֶשׁמ םִע םָעָה ברֶָּיַו" :)'ב ז"י םָשׁ( וֹרְתִי תַשׁרָָפְבוּ
 and teachings of Chazal deal at great length with the enormity
 of its lowliness.  Chazal have said  (Gemara Nedarim 22b) that    ,"קֵלָמֲע אֹבָּיַו" :)'ח םָשׁ( הֵּל ךְיִמְסוּ ."'וֹגְו לֵארְָשִׁי יֵנ ְּב בירִ
 whoever possesses this trait of anger does not appreciate or care    :)'א  ג"כ  םָשׁ(  םיִט ָּפְשִׁמ  תַשׁרָָפְבוּ  .םרָוּבּדִ ְּב  וּלקְְל ּקִֶשׁ  לַע
 that the Shehchinah is in front of him.  That at the moment when   7   ,ל ֵּבקְַמַה לַעְו ר ֵּפַסְמַה לַע יֵאקָ אוּהֶשׁ ,"אְוָשׁ עַמֵשׁ אָשִּׂת אלֹ"
 one is overcome by anger, his senses depart from him and often
 one  finds  that  a  person  in  this  state  of  anger  has  completely    ח"כ םָשׁ( ליִע ְּמַה ןַיְנִע לַע הֶּוַצ ְּת תַשׁרָָפְבוּ .ארָָמְג ַּב אָתיִאדְ ִּכ
 repudiated the Torah and mitzvot.  At that moment everything    :)ה"ל םָשׁ( הָשׁרָ ָּפַה לָכְו ,"ביִבָס ויִפְל הֶיְהִי הָפָשׂ" :)ב"ל
 that is corrupt and twisted seems perfectly reasonable to him and    ןוֹשָׁל תרַ ָּפ ַּכ לַע יֵאקָ אוּהֶשׁ ,"שׁדֶ ּקַֹה לֶא וֹאֹב ְּב וֹלקֹ עַמְשִׁנְו"
 even the most serious of sins seem perfectly permissible, egs.,
 oppressive  \  abusive  speech,  curses,  conflict  and  controversy,    ,ערָֹצְמוּ ַעירְִזַת תַשׁרָ ָּפ לָכְו .).ז"ט( ןיִכרֲָע ַּב אָתיִאדְ ִּכ ערָָה
 Lashon Hara and language that is embarrassing.   ףַא קָחרְֻמ - בֵשֵׁי דָד ָּב ,םָדָא יֵעְגִנ ,םידִָג ְּב יֵעְגִנ םי ִּת ָּב יֵעְגִנ

 While in a rage of anger there are those people who will tear     ט ֵּפְט ִּפֶשׁ לַע ,ןיִט ְּפְטַפְמַה םירִ ֳּפִצ וֹתרָ ָּפַכְו ,לֵארְָשִׁי הֵנֲח ַּמִמ
 their clothes or smash their utensils or throw out their money,    וֹל  רֵמוֹא  הָיָה  ןֵה ֹּכַהֶשׁ  ,םיִנֲה ֹּכ  תרַוֹת ְּב  אָתיִאדְִכְו  .וֹנוֹשְׁל ִּב
 etc.  Regarding all of these displays of anger Chazal have said
 (Gemara Shabbat 105b) this person should be considered by you    ,ערָָה ןוֹשָׁל לַע א ָּלֶא ,םיִא ָּב םיִעָגְּנַה ןיֵא ,יִנ ְּב :םיִשׁוּבּ ִּכ ירְֵב ּדִ
 as someone who worships idol gods, that today his Yetzer Hara    ליִכרָ ךְֵלֵת אלֹ" :)ז"ט ט"י ארָקְִּיַו( םיִשׁדקְ תַשׁרָָפְבוּ .םָשׁ ןֵּיַע
 tells him “Do this thing,” and tomorrow it will tell him “Do that    לַע יֵאקָ אוּהֶשׁ ,"אְטֵח ויָלָע אָשִּׂת אלְֹו" :)ז"י םָשׁ( ,"ךָי ֶּמַע ְּב
 thing,” and so on until it tells him to “Go worship idol gods,”
 and he goes and worships them.  And the pasuk (Tehilim 81:10)    שׁיִא וּנוֹת אלְֹו" :)ז"י ה"כ םָשׁ( רַה ְּב תַשׁרָָפְבוּ .םיִנ ָּפ תַנ ָּבְלַה
 “There  should  not  be  within  you  an  alien  god,”  identifies  an    ן ֵּכ םַּג אוּהֶשׁ ,םירִָב ּדְ תַאָנוֹא לַע יֵאקָ אוּהֶשׁ ,"וֹתיִמֲע תֶא
 “alien god” as a person’s resident Yetzer Hara.   הֶנֲח ַּמַה ןִמ וּח ְּלַשׁיִו" :)'ב 'ה ר ָּבדְ ִּמ ַּב( אשָׂנ תַשׁרָָפְבוּ .ערָ רוּבּ ּדִ
 Furthermore, Chazal have said (Gemara Nedarim 22a) that all    ז ֵּמרְַמ "ל ָּכ"ְו ,תוֹנֲחַמ שׁלָשְׁל ץוּח ַח ֵּל ַּתְשִׁמ אוּהֶשׁ ,"ַעוּרָצ ל ָּכ
 types of Gehinnom dominate the person who is enraged.  The    ב"י םָשׁ( ךְָתלֲֹעַה ְּב תַשׁרָָפְבוּ .גֵאוֹד ְּכ הרָוֹתּ ַּב לוֹדָּג אוּה וּלִּפֲא
 meaning of their statement is that each sin this person performs
 creates  a  punishment  in  Gehinnom  that  is  unique  to  that  sin.     ,ךְָל חַלְשׁ תַשׁרָ ָּפ ןֵכְו ."'וֹגְו הֶשׁמ ְּב ןרֲֹהַאְו םָירְִמ ר ֵּבדַ ְּתַו" :)'א
 Anyone who analyzes this character trait of anger will realize    :)'ה  א"כ  םָשׁ(  ת ּקַֻח  תַשׁרָָפְבוּ  .םיִלְּגרְַמַה  ןַיְנִע ְּב  תרֶ ֶּבדְַמַה
 that by virtue of this person’s character trait of anger, he will    םָשׁ ןֵּיַע ,םיִשָׁחְּנַה וּחְלְשִׁנְו ,"הֶשׁמְבוּ םיִהלֹא ֵּב םָעָה ר ֵּבדְַיַו"
 commit every form of sin to the point where Chazal will say
 about this person that it is a certainty that his sins will exceed his    ,םָחיִכוֹהֶשׁ םיִאָטֲחַה לָכ ְּבֶשׁ ,םירִָב ּדְ תַשׁרָָפְבוּ .י"ִשּׁרַ שׁוּרֵפ ְּב
 merit, and so they have said all types of Gehinnom will dominate    שׁוּרֵפ ְּב םרָי ִּכְזִה ,םיִלְּגרְַמַה ןַיְנִעֵמ ץוּח ,זֶמרֶ ךְרֶדֶ ְּב םרָי ִּכְזִה
 him.  Moreover, Chazal have said (Gemara Pesachim 66b) that    םיִטְפֹשׁ  תַשׁרָָפְבוּ  .םָדוֹב ְּכ  לַע  שָׁח  אלְֹו  ,הָלוֹדְּג  תוּכירֲִא ַּב
 whoever becomes angry, even though Heaven may have destined
 greatness for him, Heaven will take him down.  Therefore man    ל ֹּכִמ  ָּתרְַמְשִׁנְו ךָיֶבְיוֹא לַע הֶנֲחַמ אֵצֵת י ִּכ" :)'י ג"כ םירִָב ּדְ(
