Intention
Hello, Your Honor, with your permission, I would like to ask:
1. Do you know of another rabbi throughout the generations who explains the concept of intention in the mitzvot like the life of a man but without the division between rabbinic and Torah?
2. Do you know of any rabbi throughout the generations who believes that sayings in any language are only for those who do not know the Holy Language? (That is, a temporary situation if we add to this those who believe that there is an obligation to learn the Holy Language and the person who does not currently know will indeed try to learn and fulfill this mitzvah)
Thank you very much in advance.
1. Do you mean his claim that circumstances are a substitute for intention? As a kind of “smata for its own sake.” It is worth noting. I remember there is more, but I didn’t look for it now.
2. There definitely is. Again, I didn’t look for it.
I’m not providing information services here. This is a platform for discussions.
Thank you very much, Honorable Rabbi, I have been searching for a long time on the subject and have not found it, so I thought that maybe it is no longer there, so I turned to you, I will continue to try to search.
Regarding the human life argument, I did not quite understand what you said, so I will say what I understand, which is that the person does something because he knows it is a mitzvah and does not do something because he knows it is a transgression, without the need for special mental or verbal intention and without delving into the reasons (not that they are not good and important things depending on the level of the person, but they do not hinder)
Situations that become part of this definition will be many, such as accidental, intentional, preoccupied, does not intend…
I would appreciate your opinion if I understood things correctly, and perhaps advice on where I can look for the poskim on these two issues?
I'll just say one more point, that your level of awareness of the same knowledge that you have that something because it is a mitzvah is not something because it is a transgression does not always have to be high and even in certain cases a very low level of awareness in my opinion will indicate a greater one, for example in situations where you are required to do the mitzvah or commit the transgression out of instinct, your father came up behind you and as soon as you saw him you stood up
I would also appreciate your opinion on this matter
If you are looking for material on intention in mitzvot, there is plenty on the web. Try Google.
Mitzvot require intention, meaning the intention to fulfill an obligation (i.e. to do for the sake of a mitzvah). Offenses do not require intention at all, so the discussion about them is irrelevant (it is true that offenses without knowledge are considered accidental and are lesser offenses. But the knowledge in question is not related to the intention found in mitzvot. There it is about motivation, not knowledge). None of this has to do with reasons and in-depth studies and level of awareness, etc. Ari and other special intentions are not a halakhic obligation but at most an additional virtue, if at all.
Hayy Adam claims that if you do an act in circumstances where it is clear that you intended to fulfill a mitzvah, it is considered that you intended it even without special intention. Maybe that is what you meant.
Thank you, Your Honor, in my humble opinion, it is correct to calm down, simply, that when a person does something and not by mistake, it is called intentional. According to the little knowledge I have, it is discussed in the Talmud, but until now I have not found a poske throughout the generations who says so. I thought that the life of a person, but after reading it again, he really does not say that either. I will continue to search.
You lack basic concepts. This has nothing to do with the commandment of requiring intention.
