Yitzro gadol - we admit powerlessness 29 Apr 2012 15:03 #136451

Kol hagadol mechavero yitzro gadol hemenu.
Usually this is understood to mean that he greater the person, the greater his yetzer hara. Maybe pshat is: gol hagadol mechavero, if you see a friend who manages to become greater, and you don't, its because YITZRO GADOL MIMENU. He HAS recognized that his yetzer is stronger than himself...
We admitted we were powerless...

Nice pshat, HD (sholom aleichem),

This fits well with the Gemara (Sukkah 52) that when Moshiach comes Hashem will shecht the YH in front of the tzaddikim and the reshoim. To the tzaddikim the YH will appear like a big mountain, and to the reshoim it will appear like single hair. According to your mehalech it's poshut, cuz that's the way they actually perceived it all along.

Shteig away chaver, baTorah uvYirah,

MT
