Shnayim Yomi - Devarim - Rishon - #1 - Rabbi Joey Haber - The Art of Rebuke

You run a company and you have a few employees that really make mistakes and you want to direct them the right way. How do you do it? How do you do it the right way? In paradim lies the answer because Moshereno is now going to recap all of what happened in the desert and a lot of what happened in the Torah. Devarim is called Mishnet Torah. And in he starts in the first puk it gives us all of the locations of where he is but they're not really where he is because he can't be in the midbar and mufanu and hashe says what he's doing instead is hinting to each one of the locations that the Jewish people made mistakes at in the desert. So the first key to how to rebuke is by hinting. You don't always need to say it. You could say it in a roundabout way and they'll get the point. The second key to rebuking properly is what happens a few later as Moshe was going through some of what happened in the desert. The puk tells us when he talks to them at a certain time after they conquered. Why at that time? Because the key to rebuke is timing. The person that you're talking to has to be in the right mood at the right frame of mind and willing to accept whatever you have to say. So rule number one is hint. Rule number two is find the right time that they could accept it. And rule number three is sometimes they need to hear it clearly. What's going to happen in the rest of is Mosher Raen is going to talk about certain mistakes very boldly and directly like this mistake of the mira we're going to see soon mosher raenu in these issues says I can't hint this thing I have to talk it out I have to make sure you hear me make sure you understand it and make sure you digest it so what's happening in the book of divim is mosher is telling us the art of rebuke the art of rebuke is he's going to talk to the people. He's going to have the right timing. He's going to hint it in the right way. Make sure it's a hint and not direct. And then when there's an opportunity, when it's something that needs further elaboration, as we're going to see tomorrow, Moshe Rabenu is going to do. So, good luck on your first day in the book of Devarim.
