The great & big Mitzvah-"common sense"
RESPECTING THE
AUTHORITIES
Maran Harav E.M. Shach zt"l used to say
that the
biggest עבירה one
can do is to be an idiot and not
using common sense.
The Chasam Sofer seems to say that the greatest and
biggest מצוה one
can do is using their common sense.
The Chasam Sofer writes שו"ת חו"מ ק"צ"
re the מצוה
רבה הגדולה
to respect the head of state (king) for two reasons.
a) It's
common sense to do so & it's proper manners. (מצוה שכליות ונימוסית)
b) We find so in the Torah. Moishe was commanded
to respect פרעה the
evil king & אליהו הנביא ran in front
of אחאב who
was עובר על כל התורה yet
there is a duty to
show respect to the head of state. (even the Tziyoinim?)
*WHOEVER
IS DISRESPECTFUL IS AS IF HE DOESN'T
PUT ON TEFILLIN."
*Perhaps, a head without brains is a קרקפתא דלא מנח תפילין
You can't put Tefillin on such a head. אמבצי
