Chasidut para sa Mga Awit 119:155

8 “For it is a law for Israel, a ruling of the G-d of Jacob” (Psalms 81:5)etc. Behold, Rashi explained in the section of the “red heifer”: that the satan and the nations of the world adjure Israel to explain it’s meaning. So scripture caused to be written that it is a “rule without reason” etc. It is difficult to know why we don’t tell them, also, why are the nations of the world so insistent to want to know the exact rationale for this specific thing and to examine us. Even if, in truth, we do not know the reason why was it necessary for scripture to explain that it is a “rule without reason” that I have established. In any case we will not inform them of the reason as we don’t know the matter. For, behold, by the “red heifer” a multitude of reasons are given by our wise men, may their memory be blessed. They said: “may his mother come and clean up the excrement of her son and other reasons that Israel understands, but He, Who’s name shall be blessed, commanded us not to reveal to them, at all. Should it happen that the accuser and the ministers of the nations would bring an indictment against us that would be to our detriment, as by law we do not have merit, He, Who’s name shall be blessed, will say: “If it is so then I will benefit them without a specific reason, as they obey/guard my “rules without reason” and do not query them at all. And if this is the case then it is just to benefit them without query (the same way). And this citation “For it is a law for Israel” on account of Israel observing H’s “rules without reason” that: “a ruling of the G-d of Jacob” (Psalms 81:5) is that He will benefit them also “with a rule without reason”. This is the purpose of the satan and the nations of the world wishing to have revealed to them the basis for the “rules without reason” so they should be able to bring accusations against us to say that we, also, do not observe without any logic and so it might happen that He, Who’s name shall be blessed, would not be able to “defend” us as He does in the aforementioned. And so it says: “By justice a king sustains the land.” (Proverbs 29:4) that justifiably Israel is called the sustainer of the land. According to Rashi: and the land will stand forever because we are the keepers of it’s laws (the “rules without reason”) meaning to say: without rhyme or reason. Scripture further says: “Deliverance is far from the wicked, for they have not turned to Your laws.” (Psalms 119:155) Also: “When there is no defender to intercede on our behalf against the accuser who reports our transgression, You speak for Yaakov [and invoke the merit of the observance of] the statutes and ordinances.” (Derech hamelech: Rosh haShana 8:2) Meaning: to speak to Yaakov so that Yaakov (the part of Israel that needs more elevation in spirituality, translator) that do observe the statutes and ordinances (the “rules without reason”) for by them both are equally to be guarded/sanctified as has been stated above.
