[Avodah] R Asher Weiss

[Rich, Joel]

I was listening to a shiur (www.bcbm.org) recently in which R' A Weiss
made 2 points which I think we've discussed in prior iterations.  Both
iiuc were primarily based on his "lev shel torah" although iirc he
brought a source which he felt could be read this way for each.


If one of us and the gadol hador were on a desert island and there were
only one kzayit of matzah available for pesach and it was our property,
Hashem would get more nachat ruach if we gave it to the gadol hador to
be mkayem the mitzvah (and we should act as such - although iiuc we
would not be compelled to)

Shliach shel adam kamoto applies only to the technical kiyum hamitzvah
(not sure if this extends to schar) but not to segula of mitzvah (e.g.
mitzvah gorreret mitzvah)
