Behaloscha – To forgive is Divine
Bamidbar 12:3 "And the man Moshe was the most humble person..."
Rav Moshe Feinstein once presided over a Din Torah in which he ruled that one party was obligated to return a sum of money to the other party. However the aggrieved party refused to abide by the psak. When Rav Moshe asked him the reason for his refusal, the man brazenly answered:
“I’m not giving over the money because the psak is not valid! There’s a clear halacha which was overlooked - that money matters are not judged at night.”
Rav Moshe calmly explained to the man that his psak had not been mistaken, and he was obligated to give over the money.
Five months after this incident, this man returned to Rav Moshe and requested a certificate stating that he is a qualified shochet. Without a moment’s hesitation, Rav Moshe picked up his pen and wrote the letter. Those present in the room remembered very clearly how disrespectfully this man had treated Rav Moshe. They were sure that he was not worthy of now being helped by Rav Moshe. One of them said: “The Rosh Yeshivah surely remembers the insulting behavior of this man.”
Rav Moshe answered, “How is that relevant? Yom Kippur has already passed, and I davened tefillas Zaka, saying that I forgive anyone who had sinned against me. These were not mere words. In addition, the man has surely done teshuva since then.”
Good Shabbos,
Rabbi Cohen
