0:14He says the Second Beit HaMikdash was destroyed because they loved money and they hated each other. The part that you've all heard about and have probably heard if you listen to lectures today, or any other day, about the Beit HaMikdash is about general hatred, known in general as sinat chinam—they hated each other. The part that few have actually... What does it have to do with money? Ahavat Mamon. The Beit HaMikdash was destroyed because they loved money? Here's the chidush. The Chachamim say, when you love money, it's impossible for you to love each other.
1:47When you love money, you're willing to harm your best friend for it—your brother, your mother, your sister, anybody. If you love money, you don't see clearly. We're not talking about ambition when you want to do more in order to achieve more. Ambition is something that HaKadosh Baruch Hu gave you in order to be ambitious for Torah. But you can use that ambition for other things as well, as long as it's within reason. As long as you don't start, you know, working overtime every day, all the time, including Shabbat. That's idolatry. That's an infatuation with money and that, by the way, Rabotai, means that it's impossible for you to ever do teshuva for sinat chinam. Impossible. As long as you love money. Why? If you love money, for sure, you're going to hate everybody else. For sure. Why? At some point, one of them is going to get in your way. means that it's impossible for you to ever do teshuva for sinat chinam. Impossible. As long as you love money. Why? If you love money, for sure, you're going to hate everybody else. For sure. Why? At some point, one of them is going to get in your way. You have a company; somebody's opening a competition. You have a store; somebody opens next door to you. You have a new website; somebody made a better one. You have an irgun for Torah, but he has a campaign while you're having your campaign. You're afraid that your donors are going to go to him. So naturally, what are you praying for? You're praying for your success, but his failure at the same time. Why? Because you love money. It has nothing to do with Torah anymore. It has nothing to do with Torah anymore.
3:17...has to do with money, has to do with your infatuation with money. This is even on simple things between a person and his friend, whereas it creates, the love of money creates jealousy like no other. You see your friend with a new car and you tell your other friends, like, "Ah..." Look, that jerk got another car. Why is he a jerk? Because he got a new car. Why does he have to be a jerk? He got a new car. Why can't you just say, ah, mabrouk, enjoy, good job for you. You got a nice car. Why is it always like, oh, look, you see that thief? Yeah, I mean, that guy, yeah, he bought the new house over there. Why does he have to be a liar, a thief, and all these things? Why? People can't be happy for each other. Why? Because they love money. The infatuation with money... that's the reason the Beit HaMikdash was destroyed. That's the reason that Beit HaMikdash was destroyed.
