### Part 1 — And Yisro Rejoiced

- Scene 3 · LM II:33 §1, on Shemos 18:9 and Sanhedrin 94a · paragraph §1.1, §1.2
  - HE: וַיִּחַדְּ יִתְרוֹ עַל כָּל הַטּוֹבָה וְכוּ', וְאָמְרוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה, שֶׁנַּעֲשָׂה בְּשָׂרוֹ חִדּוּדִין חִדּוּדִין.
  - EN (our paraphrase): 'And Yisro rejoiced over all the good.' And our Sages said that his flesh became prickles, prickles.
- Scene 4 · LM II:33 §1, on Berachos 17a · paragraph §1.3
  - HE: כִּי כָל הַשְּׂמָחוֹת הֵם רַק בִּשְׁעָתָן, כְּגוֹן, לְמָשָׁל שִׂמְחָה שֶׁל חֲתֻנָּה אוֹ בְּרִית, הַשִּׂמְחָה הוּא רַק בִּשְׁעָתָן, וְאִם יִסְתַּכֵּל עַל הַסּוֹף, אֵין שׁוּם שִׂמְחָה בָּעוֹלָם, כִּי סוֹף אָדָם וְכוּ'. אֲבָל אִם יִסְתַּכֵּל עַל הַסּוֹף שֶׁל הַסּוֹף, אָז יֵשׁ לוֹ לִשְׂמֹחַ מְאֹד, כִּי סוֹף כָּל סוֹף, דְּהַיְנוּ הַתַּכְלִית, הוּא טוֹב מְאֹד.
  - EN (our paraphrase): For all joys are only in their time: for example, the joy of a wedding or a bris is only in its time. If one looks at the end, there is no joy in the world at all, for the end of man is the grave. But if he looks at the end of the end, then he has reason to rejoice very much, for the end of every end, the final purpose, is very good.
- Scene 6 · LM II:33 §1, on Bereishis Rabbah 9 · paragraph §1.4
  - HE: וְהִנֵּה זֶהוּ רַק מִצַּד הַנְּשָׁמָה, שֶׁמִּצִּדָּהּ הַמָּוֶת טוֹב מְאֹד, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמְרוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה: וְהִנֵּה טוֹב מְאֹד – זֶה וְכוּ', כִּי הוּא טוֹב מְאֹד, שֶׁעַל־יָדוֹ בָּאִין לְתַכְלִית הַטּוֹב.
  - EN (our paraphrase): This is only from the side of the soul, for from its side death is very good, as our Sages said on 'and behold, it was very good': this is death. For it is very good, since through it one comes to the final good.
- Scene 7 · LM II:33 §1, on Tehillim 56:5 · paragraph §1.5
  - HE: אַךְ מִי שֶׁהוּא צַדִּיק, וַאֲפִלּוּ גּוּפוֹ נָקִי וְקָדוֹשׁ מְאֹד, אֲזַי יָכוֹל לִשְׂמֹחַ גַּם עִם גּוּפוֹ, אֲפִלּוּ אִם מִסְתַּכֵּל עַל הַסּוֹף, מֵאַחַר שֶׁגַּם גּוּפוֹ טָהוֹר וְקָדוֹשׁ. כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב: בֵּאלֹקִים בָּטַחְתִּי מַה יַּעֲשֶׂה בָשָׂר לִי – שֶׁהַבָּשָׂר, דְּהַיְנוּ הַגּוּף, אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לַעֲשׂוֹת לוֹ שׁוּם הֶזֵּק,
  - EN (our paraphrase): But one who is a tzaddik, whose body too is clean and very holy, can rejoice even with his body, even looking at the end, since his body too is pure and holy. As it is written: 'In Elokim I trust; what can flesh do to me?' The flesh, the body, cannot harm him.
- Scene 8 · LM II:33 §1, on Tehillim 16:9 · paragraph §1.5
  - HE: וּכְמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב: אַף בְּשָׂרִי יִשְׁכֹּן לָבֶטַח – שֶׁהַצַּדִּיק בָּטוּחַ, שֶׁגַּם לְהַגּוּף יִהְיֶה טוֹב מְאֹד, וְעַל־כֵּן יָכוֹל לִשְׂמֹחַ גַּם עִם גּוּפוֹ, אֲפִלּוּ כְּשֶׁמִּסְתַּכֵּל עַל הַסּוֹף.
  - EN (our paraphrase): And as it is written: 'even my flesh shall rest secure'. The tzaddik is sure that it will be very good for the body too, so he can rejoice even with his body, even when he looks at the end.
- Scene 9 · LM II:33 §1 · paragraph §1.6
  - HE: אֲבָל מִי שֶׁאֵין גּוּפוֹ קָדוֹשׁ כָּל־כָּךְ, בִּפְרָט גֵּר, שֶׁאַף־עַל־פִּי שֶׁנִּשְׁמָתוֹ גָּבוֹהַּ מְאֹד, אַף־עַל־פִּי־כֵן גּוּפוֹ נוֹצַר מִטִּפָּה טְמֵאָה, וְאֵיךְ אֶפְשָׁר לְשַׁנּוֹת זֹאת. נִמְצָא שֶׁזֶּה הָאִישׁ שֶׁאֵין גּוּפוֹ קָדוֹשׁ כָּל־כָּךְ, בִּפְרָט גֵּר, אִי אֶפְשָׁר לוֹ לִשְׂמֹחַ עִם גּוּפוֹ כְּשֶׁמִּסְתַּכֵּל עַל הַתַּכְלִית.
  - EN (our paraphrase): But one whose body is not so holy, especially a convert: though his soul is very high, his body came into being from a source without holiness, and how can that be changed? So such a person, especially a convert, cannot rejoice with his body when he looks at the final purpose.
- Scene 10 · LM II:33 §1 · paragraph §1.7
  - HE: וְזֶהוּ: וַיִּחַדְּ יִתְרוֹ עַל כָּל הַטּוֹבָה – שֶׁיִּתְרוֹ הָיָה שָׂמֵחַ עַל כָּל הַטּוֹבָה, פֵּרוּשׁ, אֲפִלּוּ כְּשֶׁהִסְתַּכֵּל לְהָלְאָה מִן הַטּוֹבָה. וְזֶהוּ: עַל כָּל הַטּוֹבָה – לְמַעְלָה וּלְהָלְאָה עַל הַטּוֹבָה, אַף־עַל־פִּי שֶׁהִסְתַּכֵּל עַל זֶה, הַיְנוּ לְהָלְאָה מִן הַטּוֹבָה, הַיְנוּ עַל הַסּוֹף, אַף־עַל־פִּי־כֵן הָיָה שָׂמֵחַ מְאֹד. כִּי מִצַּד הַנְּשָׁמָה, אַף כְּשֶׁמִּסְתַּכֵּל עַל הַסּוֹף, הוּא טוֹב מְאֹד כַּנַּ"ל,
  - EN (our paraphrase): This is 'Yisro rejoiced over all the good': he rejoiced even when he looked beyond the good. 'Al kol hatovah', above and beyond the good: though he looked past it, to the end, he still rejoiced very much. For from the side of the soul, even looking at the end, it is very good,
- Scene 11 · LM II:33 §1 · paragraph §1.8
  - HE: אַךְ שֶׁנַּעֲשָׂה בְּשָׂרוֹ חִדּוּדִין חִדּוּדִין – בְּשָׂרוֹ דַּיְקָא, דְּהַיְנוּ הַגּוּף. כִּי מֵאַחַר שֶׁהָיָה גֵּר, לֹא הָיָה שִׂמְחָתוֹ בְּגוּפוֹ כְּשֶׁהִסְתַּכֵּל עַל הַסּוֹף כַּנַּ"ל. וְזֶהוּ: נַעֲשָׂה בְּשָׂרוֹ חִדּוּדִין חִדּוּדִין – בְּשָׂרוֹ דַּיְקָא כַּנַּ"ל:
  - EN (our paraphrase): but his flesh became prickles, prickles: his flesh precisely, the body. Since he was a convert, his joy was not in his body when he looked at the end. That is 'his flesh became prickles': his flesh precisely.
