פרשת השבוע
שופטים
ת"ר אשר בנה, אשר נטע ,אשר ארש
,לימדה
תורה ד"א שיבנה אדם בית ויטע כרם ואח"כ ישא אשה
(Sotah 44a)
When going to war the above
questions were asked
in this order, to teach us
priorities in life Build a house
first, plant a vineyard and then
get married.
The Satmar Rebbe, Reb Yoilish zt”l
('ויואל משה, לה"ק ב)
writes, that this Chazal refers to
a second marriage.
For the first marriage,
marriage comes first, even before
Parnasah and housing.
His proof is, The minimum age to
serve in the army
was 20 years. A person who at age
20, isn’t married
is a חוטא (sinner) and wasn’t
eligible to go to war.
For a 20-year-old, who never got
married, these
questions would not be applicable,
The Pasuk must
refer to someone who was married
once before
at age 18 and is on to his second
marriage.
Therefore, the Rebbe concludes that
this order
in Chazal is not applicable only
for a second
marriage. A Bachur getting married
for the first time
need not worry about housing or
Parnassah before
getting married.
