A True Yarei Shamayim Does Not Look Down at Anyone

Bitachon Weekly | June 27, 2025

The Passuk says about Amalek םיִלָשֱׁחֶנַּה לָכּ- אֵרָי אֹלְו כה יח. Those who attack the weak and those who struggle behind everyone, are g-dless people. ףָדְּרִנ תֶא שֵׁקַּבְי םיִק˄ֱאָה קהלת ג טו Hashem is always sticking up for the underdog, and we are also required to always remember to include the poor and the destitute at our table when we have a good time. The Torah is loaded with unending concern for the Levi, the Ger, the Yasom and the Almana.

Even just feeling superior to others and degrading them, is a sign of g-dlessness. A person thinks that he created himself, and he looks down at the nebachs who aren’t as smart, rich, talented, or popular as he is.

When you remember that Hashem created you, and every inch of strength and success in your very being is all the work of Hashem, then you don’t look down at others, because you realize that we are all the same. In fact, the more a person has, the more he is M'chuyav to be thankful to Hashem, and he has a hard job. (Chovos Halvavos).

Hitler, Y'mach Sh'mo, killed well over 100,000 young German children who were either retarded or mentally and/or physically unstable. They were useless for his new government, Y'mach Sh'mam. (He did the same to 50,000 adult Germans). By a Yid, these underlings are the precious part of his life. When he respects the poor and the downtrodden, he becomes great, and he earns a good life in Olam HaZeh and in Olam HaBah.

Just as looking “down” at others comes from a lack of Yiras Shamayim, so does looking “up” to people and being afraid of them. Compared to Hashem, we are all equal. We are all: ִנ ְב ָר ִאים His creations, while He is the בּ וֹ ֵר א Creator.
