Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on \\u05e4\\u05e8\\u05e9\\u05ea \\u05e9\\u05d5\\u05e4\\u05d8\\u05d9\\u05dd.

Discussed:

\\n
• The Chida explains that the Torah uses a singular expression in the first Pasuk, \\u05e9\\u05e4\\u05d8\\u05d9\\u05dd \\u05d5\\u05e9\\u05d8\\u05e8\\u05d9\\u05dd \\u05ea\\u05ea\\u05df \\u05dc\\u05da \\u05d1\\u05db\\u05dc \\u05e9\\u05e2\\u05e8\\u05d9\\u05da "guards 'you' should place in all 'your' gates," to teach us that every individual must enforce their own personal standard. R' Chaim Vital adds that the gates in the Pasuk allegorically refer to the "gates" of the human body (the eyes, ears, mouth, etc.).
\\n
• A Pshat, that \\u05e9\\u05e2\\u05e8\\u05d9\\u05da "your gates" pertain to the home, and that each person must ensure they have standards and gates protecting their home from harmful outside influences.
\\n
• Why did R' Yosi Ben Kisma refuse to move to the wealthy community, insisting he must remain in a Makon Torah? Didn't he have a responsibility to be Marbitz Torah (spread Torah)?
