Israel Chavurah

Commentary and Questions to Ponder

When a person sins and commits a trespass against the Lord by dealing deceitfully with his fellow in the matter of a deposit or a pledge, or through robbery, or by defrauding his fellow, or by finding something lost and lying about it; if he swears falsely regarding any one of the various things that one may do and sin thereby - (Leviticus 5:21-22) Said Rabbi Akiva: What does the Torah mean by saying: Commit a trespass against the Lord? When the creditor and debtor or two parties to any transaction conduct their business through contracts and witnesses, a repudiation of obligation constitutes a repudiation of the witnesses and the contract. But he who deposits something with his neighbor does not want a soul to know about it other than the Third Party between them. When he repudiates his obligation, he repudiates the Third Party (i.e., God) between them. (Sifra) We have sinned against You by wronging othersWe have sinned against You by deriding parents and teachers, and we have sinned against You by using violence We have sinned against You by dishonesty in business, and we have sinned against You by taking usurious interest. (Mahzor for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) On Yom Kippur, when we recite AlChet we declare that we have sinned against God not only by violating ritual commandments (kashrut, Shabbat, etc.), but also by hurting others. In what way are dishonesty and violence sins against God? Do you think that understanding acts that hurt others as sins against God makes it harder to perform them?
