Yetzer HaTov vs Yetzer HaRa (A BeEzrat HaShem Inc. Film)
Rabbi Yaron Reuven explains the struggle between the Yetzer HaTov (good inclination) and Yetzer HaRa (evil inclination) in this shiur. He highlights that while the Yetzer HaTov protests against the Yetzer HaRa's actions regarding Shabbat desecration, murder, and other transgressions, it remains silent on the sin of immorality. Rabbi Reuven emphasizes that immorality affects the entire body and soul, making it a particularly potent sin. He explains that unlike other sins that have limits, immorality has no boundaries, impacting a person's eternal destiny. He urges listeners to recognize the gravity of this sin and seek to avoid it.

1:42It says in the Torah, "You shall observe the Shabbat, for it is holy to you. If it is desecrated, the violator shall be put to death." Meaning the Yetzer Hara tells them, "What are you doing? There's a consequence for your crime. You violate Shabbat, Hashem's going to kill you." Every day you are alive and you violate Shabbat, it's borrowed time. It's mamash a miracle. You should say, "Baruch Hashem," twice you should say "Baruch Hashem." That if a person violates Shabbat, and they continue to live, it's a miracle. Every second they're alive is a miracle. Why? HaKadosh Baruch Hu says, if you violate Shabbat, I'm going to kill you. So people ask, where's Hashem's mercy? How is it that He's giving me all these problems? You're fortunate to be alive. That's His mercy. The sins you've committed should have already caused your demise long ago. The sins you're currently committing, He should have killed you now. Yet, you're still alive; He's just giving you a few problems. Baruch Hashem, you should say.
2:45Now, when he's about to commit murder, as he has become accustomed to, the good inclination says to him, "M"asei Tzelem," it says. What is this? Parashat Noach. HaKadosh Baruch Hu (The Holy One, Blessed be He) teaches us. Wasting seed is even a commandment. Why? Spilling the blood of a man is considered murder, but it doesn't say simply that. It says he spills the blood of a man within a man. What is the blood of a man within a man? That's the seed. That's the seed. That's the sperm of a man. If a person spills the blood of a man within a man, he wastes seed, his own blood will be shed. So Yetzer Tov says, "Empty one." It says that anyone who spills the blood of a man within a man, his blood is going to be shed. What are you doing? Now, when a person goes to commit a sin of immorality, he wants to have a girlfriend before marriage.
4:08No, we're just dating, Rabbi. We're just dating. She's a nice girl. No, we're just having a good time. We're not serious yet. He wants to commit a sin of immorality. It started with this member. It started with one part of the body. But the whole body has now gotten involved. Every part of the body is now on cloud nine. They have no idea what's going on. Why is this tingling? Why is that tingling? Why does my head feel this way? Why do my eyes feel like this? What's going on? The whole body is going crazy. Because the evil inclination is like the king over all of a person's 248 limbs. However, when he goes to perform a mitzvah, then all of his limbs begin to become burdensome on him because the yetzer hara, which resides in one's innards, is like the king over all of the person's 248 limbs.
5:20Whereas the good inclination is like nothing more than someone who's bound in a prison. As it's stated in Kohelet 4:14, because from the prison he emerged to reign. This refers to the yetzer hatov. So we see here, Rabotai HaIkarim, that all of the other sins, whether it was with the woman, or Chilul Shabbat, or actual murder, or anything else, even the evil inclination says, do this. The good inclination says, don't do it, you empty one. But then when it comes to the sin of zima, when it comes to the sin of immorality with a person's self, not even with another person, he says, this is worse than everything else. Why? There's no end to this. There's no limit to this. David HaMelech says someone that fulfills all of this is never gonna die, gonna live for eternity.
6:25Their body, their physical body, at some point ends over here, but their neshama continues into eternity. Eternity of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, eternity of Gan Eden, eternity of heaven, eternity of good, eternity of the greatest things that you cannot even imagine. Just simply follow this. During our shiur, we discussed the teachings of the Chofetz Chaim. The Chofetz Chaim, also known as Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan, was a renowned Torah scholar and ethicist. His work, "Sefer Chafetz Chaim," primarily focuses on the laws of lashon hara, or derogatory speech, according to halacha. Following his guidance, it is vital to guard our tongues and always strive to speak positively. Let's delve further into his teachings and how we can apply them in our daily lives.
