Parshas Hashavua אחרי
The Satmar Rebbe, R Yoilish Teitelbaum Zt"l was asked why he was so
harsh and critical of כלל ישראל. Why couldn't he be like R Levi
Yitzchok Berditchever, who always sided & defended even the רשעים of כלל
ישראל?
The Rebbe answered: When the כהן גדול did the עבודה on יו"כ in the קדש
קדשים, he wasn't allowed to wear בגדי זהב because אין קטיגור נעשה סניגור. Why
is it then that when he came out to do the עבודה outside, he changed
to בגדי זהב and there was no concern with אין קטיגור נעשה
סניגור?
The answer is: Outside of the קדש קדשים where כלל ישראל can watch the כהן
גדול, we are not concerned with אין קטיגור נעשה סניגור. On the contrary,
we want to remind them to do תשובה for making the Golden calf.
Only in the קדש קדשים, where there were only the
כה"ג & the רבונו של עולם, does he need to wear בגדי לבן,
because אין קטיגור נעשה סניגור
The Rebbe continued and said " When I have my back towards the ארון הקדש
and face the עולם, I speak like a קטיגור and am critical of all the
wrong that is done.I demand from the עולם to better themselves & do תשובה.
However, when I turn around facing the ארון הקדש, I become a
100% סניגור and I think of כלל ישראל as ועמך כולם צדיקים - there are
no רשעים. I plead with the רבש"ע and cry out מי כעמך ישראל - there are no
bad Yidden;אין קטיגור
all are צדיקים."
