EXOD501 The Yalkut (Re'eh), which we have quoted previously, declares: "Beware lest you withhold compassion, for anyone who withholds compassion identifies himself with idolatry casts off the yoke of the Kingdom of Heaven, as it is said 'Beli-ya'al'" (i.e. without, bli; a yoke, 'ol). The passage conveys that the parsimonious person relies on his money only, not on Hashem and His Torah. Against this, a warning is intimated in [this verse].
