TRUE הכרב 5:38 PM October 19, 2018 י ‘עשת ןושח“ט ךל ךל תשרפ  October 21—11:30 AM dismissal for grades 2-8B due to Rebbeim fac. mtg.  October 22 - Picture Day  November 2 - Grandparents’ Day When the king of Sodom made his insolent offer to וניבא םהרבא, of ךל חק שוכרהו שפנה יל ןת. Give me the people and keep the wealth, וניבא םהרבא responded: ינא ...׳וכו לענ ךורש דע טוחמ םאםרבא תא יתרשעה, Avraham refused to take even a shoelace from Sodom, lest the king later boast that he enriched Avraham. Rashi further explains that םהרבא was informing the king of Sodom that he didn’t need Sodom’s wealth, ךכרבאו ׳אנש ינרשעל ינחיטבה ה״בקהש Hashem had already promised Avraham that He would make him wealthy. We know from the psukim however, that Avraham gave 1/10 of the booty he won during the war to םש. Clearly, he believed that the spoils of the battle were rightfully his. There is a concept of המחלמ שוביכ: what is captured in war belongs to the captor. The four kings had captured the wealth of the five kings, and when Avraham was victorious over the four kings, he automatically became the owner of their booty. Therefore, he correctly gave a tenth of what he had acquired as רשעמ. Why then, if he had honestly earned the spoils, did he then inform the king of Sodom that his wealth would come from a different source? How did he know that this was not the fulfilment of the blessing of wealth he received from Hashem? Explains Rav Yaakov ז:“ ל איה ׳ה תכרבהמע בצע ףיסוי אלו רישעת י :ילשמ( .‘כ“)ב . When Hashem gives an individual something הכרב ךרד it never comes at the expense of anyone else. Therefore, if someone, even an individual as depraved as the king of Sodom, would have any hard feelings over the gift that a person received, it is impossible that it would be the fulfilment of a brachah from Hashem. The spoils of Sodom were rightfully םהרבא‘s, and he correctly had to give רשעמfrom them. But because the king of Sodom had expressed his feelings of ownership for that wealth, it was obvious to םהרבא that this could not be the expression of the blessing of ךכרבאו. Have a תבש טוג !
