Parasha Kitavo, "Do it with joy"

Parasha Kitavo, "Do it with joy"

“And it will be that, when you come to Earth […], you will take from the first fruits of all product of the earth that collects of your land, the one that hashem, your god, gives you, and [them] [ You will put in the basket ”(Devarim-deut 26: 1-2).
These verses illustrate the mitzvah of Bicurim (‘first
About this mitzvah (precept), we can say, first, that our wise, blessed memory, established as a rule that every expression "Vehayá" (‘and will be’) is an expression of joy; Thus, what is the joy here in the Mitzvah of bringing the first
Why did Torah require that man bother to raise his only fruit precisely to Jerusalem and did not enough to give a large sum of money like Tzedaká for the Talmidé Jajamim (Torah scholars) ?
We could also ask what the Mitzvah of Bicurim of the Mitzvah of Maaser Shení (‘Second Tithe’), because with respect to the Maaser Shení says the Torah money in your hand ”; money, and that money will take him to Jerusalem. Thus, why the Torah did not give that same possibility in the fruits of the first
Particularly, in the case of the one whom the blessed creator merited with vast orchards and many trees, and, therefore, he has many fruits of firstfruits for which he will have to rent many carts on which he will load the hundreds of fruits of scoop and take them to Jerusalem.
For this person it would have been much easier if there were
It could redeem fruits for money (as with the Maaser Shení) and take that money to Jerusalem.
We can explain, with the help of heaven, that in the Mitzva de Bicurim there is a particularity above the other mitzvot. All mitzvot are great actions that the person must carry out; However, Bicurim's mitzvah is small and easy, through which the person takes a small fruit and takes it to Bet Hamikdash. The action required to perform the Mitzvah of Bicurim is small and lacking a lot of thought, so the person who performs it is greatly surprised when praising on it: by a simple fruit it has to “roll” on the roads until reaching Jerusalem.
But it's the opposite! Precisely because it is such a small mitzvah, when it fulfills the great value of a simple and small mitzvah with which it can grow and become a great right in the fulfillment of the Torah and the Mitzvot.
And why in the text that says “When bringing the Bicurim” the anecdote with Yaakov and Laván is mentioned when Yaakov Avinu escaped from his brother ESAV and went to Aram Naharaim, raised an emotional prayer to Hashem.
In his prayer, he did not ask for great things; Rather, he said: “If God I was with me and take care of me on this path by which I go […], and return to peace to my father's house, etc.” (Bereshit
28: 20-21).
Rashi explains that Yaakov Avinu's intention when he says “and returns in peace” is that he returned completely, free of sin, that he did not learn from the roads of Laván ”, because Yaakov understood that, despite the fact that he was a great tzadik in his father Yitzjak's house, in the surroundings of Laván Haaramí, the evil one would have to influenced by his low behaviors, lest he learned from his bad habits and fell so low that there would be nothing from the tzadik inside him.
We could compare this prayer with that of one that requests to be under water and still be able to breathe, or enter the deepest of the jungle, passing among the wild beasts, and remain intact. It is impossible! Even so, Yaakov begged his prayer to succeed in living with Lavan and remain Tzadik. In the end, not only did Tzadik remain, but had the merit of developing there and growing: he established a splendid family, the twelve tribes, “The tribes of Hashem, the testimony of Israel.” to develop and grow. This is the reason why the theme of Laván Haaramí is mentioned in the Bicurim section: “Aramaic wanted to lose my father, etc.”, In order to remember that precisely from the small and simple mitzva Avinu in that small prayer, with which he had the merit of achieving great success.
As said, we can understand that precisely in the Mitzvah of Bicurim ordered the blessed creator to take a small fruit, and not the money of his redemption, and take him to Jerusalem as is the case with the Maaser Shení, because precisely with this Hashem will be happy and happy with the one who fulfills said mitzvá. That is why it is written with the term "vayehí", which is a
Expression of joy, because when the person is happy with the small mitzvot that Hashem imposes him to fulfill, and comes to Hashem and thanks him for all the good he does to him, this person can grow in the service to Hashem and flourish a lot in the spiritual aspect, because with the small mitzvot that the person fulfills, he reveals his intention that he does not have “the power and strength of my hand” Hashem and does it alone in his name, blessed.
