Q

why did shimsho go to gaza

A

bc after 20 yrs the energy of bnai yisrael was weak
bnai yisrael started to desire to be like the plishtim (bad ppl - someone u dont want to become)
now shimshon has to reinfiltrate the plishtim and recognize bnai yisrael
has to live up to his name
ומגן - protect
שמש - energize

A

when ppl desire something - there is a lacking
for money there is never enough - never satisfying

24
Q

what was Delilahs mistake
(how was she a tzedkaus
what did she lack

A

1) she gave up everything to convert to judaism to be with her. husband and HaShem
2) at the end of the day the lack of faith is what rlly broke

25
Buildups (worry x2 midrash breaking point
1) worried constantly - wife of superhero under constant threat 2) they were discovered by plishtim -> made her worry into reality 3) midrash brings down they had a son named micha (amplifies the worry) 4) breaking point: she took the MONEY offer -> money is a desire that is neer fufilled
26
ואסכנוהו -> meaning | how did the plishtim shift delilahs perspective?
1) to subdue(weaken) him 2) Shimshon would be better off with the Plishtim bc he wont hurt others or himself they will imprison him so they can weaken him
27
What caused Delilah more susceptable to that challenge? How to avoid it?
didnt tell her husband shows she made this decision on her on w/o HaShem = lack of faith - she became a convert - took to mych too soon went from 0-100
28
what did delilah ask shimshon? (2)
tell me from 1) what/where comes from ur great strength 2) and with what can be used to subdue you
29
how does shimshon respond to deliliah
if you tie me uo with 7 wet strings that have never been dried befire then i will become like the man
30
what approach did delilah take
trust approach im ur wife, we're married -tell me ur deepest darkest secret as a wife shes throwing a big q hard to build trust but easy to break because if person a does something that breaks person bs trust it will be hard to gain that back
31
how is shimshons response | how couldve he answered
1) indirect 2) directly couldve said no couldve said from HaShem
32
so why did he give an indirect answer
bc sometimes for Shalom bayit its better to avoid the situtaion than face confrontation
33
did Shimshon lie
no | it was a play on words to avoid confrontation
34
what do the generals of teh plishtim bring to Delilha?
7 wet strings that never been dried so she can tie him up with them
35
where were the enemies sitting? what did Delilah say to Shimshon? what happens?
1) in the room 2) "The plishtim are onto you shimshon!" 3) and he breaks the strings as though they had been in fire and his strenth was undiscovered
36
Premise: what wouldve shimshon done?
1) pretending that this method of tying him up would work in the name of shalom bayis
37
did shimshon willingly agree to be tied up? he trusted her? how did the plishtim enter? were they noticed (דעת סופּרים and מלבים)
דעת סופּרים: Shimshon was awake - saw the plishtim breaks through strings as defense against the plishtim מלבים: shimshon was asleep when he was tied up his wife told him the plishtim r here doesnt see plishtim breaks through as an instinct
38
what thoughts couldve gone through shimshons mind after his wife and the plishtim tie him up
דן לכף זכות - judge ppl favorably shimshon chose to give delilah the benefit of the doubt and look at the brighter side that this couldve been a coincidence
39
after the whole incident | what does delilah say to shimshon
behold u deceived me and you lied to me | now tell me please what can i tie u up with
40
what did shimshon respond with (2nd time)
if you tie me up in new ropes that has no work done on it | then i will become weak like the man כְּאַחַ֥ד הָאָדָֽם:
41
take 2 of delilah tieing him up: what does she tell shimshon what happened
1) the plishtim are upon you shimshon and his enemy r sitting in the same room 2) he ripped up the ropes as of theyw ere strings
42
third try what does delilah tell shimshon how does he respond
1) until when will u deceive me and tell me lies tell me in what will be tied 2) if you weave my 7 flocks of HAIR from my gead into a web
43
why is it dangerous shimshon is leading her to his hair
it is his strength as a nazir | BIG MISTAKE to give up
44
what did delilah do with his hair? what did she tell him? what happened?
1) pinned his hair with a peg 2) the plishtim r upon u 3) awoke from his sleep pulled out the peg the loom and teh web from his hair
45
after the hair pegging situtaion what does delilah tell shimshon
1) how can u say u love me when ur heart isnt with me | this is the 3rd time you deceived me and u didnt tell from where ur strength comes from
46
when delilah says why did u lie to me | how does shimshon react
MODEL HUSBAND BEHAVIOR he apologises saying he didnt mean to decive doesnt attack her just apologises - gives new ropes
47
MODEL HUSBAND BEHAVIOR
model husband behavior making sure his wife feels loved put his wife first happy wife = good brachos a man has to constantly make sure his wife feels loved when she says this then he is heartbroken bc he is not satsifying her needs
48
what finally got shimshon to break | how was shimshon feeling
after she hagged him and pressed him will all her words | worn out and his soul begged to die
49
his soul begged to die simple explanation
the hagging made him so crazy!
50
his soul begged to die deeper explanation
the Abarbanel said that his time was coming soon and his neshama knew that - we have a certain time to accomplish things and shimshon did well - his time was up
51
so what does shimshon finally do? | what does he say?
1) everything in his heart 2) says a razor! never came on his head becayse hes a nazir of hashem from the womb of his mother if u cut my hair then my strength would be removed from me and i will become like all the other men SAYS THE TRUTH
52
ככל האדם | כאחד האדם
1) truth - like every otehr man 2) play on words says this the first three times
53
"a razor" who is shimshon giving credit to "nazir of hashem" who is he crediting what do we see
``` his hair HaShem his humility comes through crediting his strength to his hair and HaShem not taking credit of his strength ```
54
after shimshon told her the truth - what did delilah see what did she do what did the generals of the plishtim do
1) she saw that he told her everything everything that was in his heart 2) tells the generals of the plishtim to come because he told here verything that was in his heart 3) the generals of teh plishtim come up to her and they brought with them all the money
55
how did she know this time was the truth?
he used HaShems names | he was a tzadik
56
what did she do shimshon in his sleep? who did she call? what did they do? and what happened
1) pulled him on her lap 2) called a man and he cut the 7 locks of hair from shimshons head 3) this weakened him and his srength left thim
57
4 steps of Delilahs downfall - connection to Yetzer Hara
1) the plush Tim bribe her with the fact that they won’t hurt shimshon if she founds out and tells them how to subdue shimshon - yetzer hara attacks on a moment of weakness, it feeds off fear 2) she takes the supplies = creates a desire to succeeed/win 3) plush Tim are not waiting - strengthens that desire to win 4) she infiltrates the truth, calls the plush Tim over and they bring the money - you don’t recognize who u are because you are overcome with that desire to achieve ur goal
