Parshas Hashavua/ Daf Hashavua (Pesachim 13a)
והייתם נקיים מה' ומישראל
The Chasam Sofer (Shut 6 : 59) writes. "There are two
obligations
1)
To come clean from Hashem
2) from Bnei Yisroel.
It is much easier to fulfill the first obligation than the second
one. The punishment for the second
obligation is also much greater. (Chillul Hashem).
You can have a person doing something which is Halachicly
correct, but isn't careful and some
"שותי שכר" (beer drinkers) mistakenly accuse him of
wrongdoing, such a person has not fulfilled his
obligation of והייתם נקיים .
It is almost impossible to fulfill this obligation. It is likely
Shlomo Hamelech had this in mind when he
wrote this אין צדיק בארץ
We find in this weeks Parsha the Bnei Gad etc. followed Moishe
Rabbeinu's advice and fought along
with the other Shevatim for 14 years. They were punished to
be sent to Galus before the rest of Klall
Yisroel, because* they haven't fulfilled 100% the obligation
of והייתם נקיים ."
*see Midrash Rabbah
(Matos) other reasons
