[Avodah] lo tachmod according to Slobodka

[Eli Turkel]

There is the famous question of how the Torah can order us Lo Tachmod
which is a natural instinct

Ibn Ezra answers but giving a parble that a person from a village would never
covet the daughter of the king

R. Hirsch head of the Slobodka yeshiva quoted his grandfather as disagreeing
and saying that Jews can't be compared to villagers. Rather the parable is the
opposite that the king looking for a shidduch for his daughter would
never consider
a villager and similarly a prince would never covet the wife of a commoner.

ps
based on modern day Hollywood I am not sure these paravles are still appropriate
see the movie Alladin
