One should not appease one\u2019s neighbor when he is angry because once he becomes angry, he is erring and cannot understand anything without erring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Lord will lift up His face to you [favor you].\u201d Another verse says, \u201cWho will not lift up the face [be biased].\u201d Here, it is when we do His will, and here it is when we do not do His will (Midrash Rabbah<\/em>, Nasso<\/em>, 11:7). This is perplexing: Why is bias required when we do His will?<\/p>\n\n\n\n We should interpret \u201cdoing His will.\u201d It is known that the Creator\u2019s will is to bestow. When the lower ones perform acts of bestowal, it is considered that they are doing His will, and then there is the matter of equivalence of form. At that time, the Creator can give them the lifting of the face, called \u201crevelation of His face.\u201d That is, the Tzimtzum<\/em> [restriction] and concealment that were on them are lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But when they do not do His will, meaning when they do not exert in the matter of wanting to bestow, which is the Creator\u2019s will, there is no equivalence of form here, and then there must be concealment and hiding. This is called \u201cWho will not lift up the face,\u201d but the Achoraim<\/em> [posterior], which does not shine for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, we should interpret concerning help from the Creator, to whom He helps\u2014to those who do the Creator\u2019s will. We should interpret that \u201cdoing\u201d means like exerting, meaning that his work is that he exerts to have the desire of the Creator, meaning he tries to obtain the desire to bestow. At that time, the Creator lifts up His face to him, to help him achieve the desire to bestow. This is called \u201cHe who comes to purify is aided.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n But when their work is not to do the Creator\u2019s will, when all their work is only in the will to receive, it is said, \u201cWho will not lift up the face,\u201d meaning he does not receive help from above that the will to receive will not control them. Rather, as it is written, \u201cHe who comes to defile, it is opened for him,\u201d and not \u201cis aided.\u201d This is called \u201cwho will not lift up the face,\u201d meaning that He does not help them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One should not appease one\u2019s neighbor when he is angry because once he becomes angry, he is erring and cannot […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6246,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[26],"class_list":["post-12880","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
