Testing Our Emunat Chachamim Is No Joke - Jewish HaShkafa (65)

Rabbi Yaron Reuven is discussing the importance of having faith in Chachamim (rabbi) and the dangers of doubting their wisdom. He emphasizes that questioning a Chacham's judgment based on personal bias or interest is a serious transgression. Doubting a Chacham's integrity can lead to a spiritual downfall.

Rabbi Reuven recounts a story about two brothers, Shapira, who published a new edition of the Talmud. Their decision to restrict the printing of the Talmud for ten years backfired when another family introduced a more advanced printing method. The Shapira brothers opposed this, leading to a dispute and eventually a legal battle. The brothers faced accusations from non-Jews, resulting in their imprisonment and harsh punishments. The story highlights the severe consequences of questioning the authority of the Chachamim and the importance of accepting their decisions even when we don’t understand them.

Rabbi Reuven stresses that Chachamim are not perfect, but they are closer to the truth than we are. Their goal is to bring merit to their souls, and they would never intentionally lead others astray. We should strive to emulate their actions and treat them with respect, recognizing their dedication to Torah and their commitment to guiding us towards a spiritual path.
