ALL PARSHA - The Ben L'Ashri on Parshas Eikev

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com and welcome everyone to a special edition of all parasha parashas akev the ramban on parashat today we'd like to do something a little bit different I want to focus on one short ramban and the wide-ranging ramifications of this comment of the ramban which is really a life changing and life-elevating message what does the almighty ask of you foreign number one to walk in all of his ways to emulate the ways of Hashem to love him like with all your heart and all your soul s Hashem to guard the midst of Hashem in his statutes that I command you today that it should be good for you here are the two key words that it should be good for you here the revanchism is saying and now Israel what do I ask of you and they wrote some lists five things and these five things are so fundamental because here the events I'm saying even though I've given you 613 myth so it's nevertheless the upshot of it is the executive summary is all I ask you is fear me walk in my ways love me serve me with all your heart and to keep them at slice in fact these are so fundamental that the ramachal bases the entire Safir missile susharim on explicating these five Avenues of serving and one may then read the words if you fulfill these five conditions if you fear me if you walk in my ways if you love me if you serve me with all your heart and fulfill the midst it will be good for you no says ramban that's a mistake that's an erroneous reading of the pasok says is going back on what does God ask of you that it should be good for you in other words it's not that God wants you to do certain things and you should do them and if you do them it will be good for you no what does God ask of you that it should be good for you the only reason God asks you to do it it's not for him it's for you and there are bad basis this on the juxtaposition of the next zukim it can't be it's for his benefit because the next circums say hey behold your God you are the heavens and the highest of heavens explains the whole world belongs to God and everything in creation gives honor to God so he's not asking you to do mistress to bring honor to him he has enough and a big enough creation to bring honor to him so why does Hashem ask you to do these things that it should be good for you why does God want to do things that are good for you because he loved your forefathers and your forefathers Hashem God desiredly I have Islam to love them and he chose their seed after them in you from among all the nations as of this day let's see the holy words of the ramband very short round band says what does God ask of you these words what does God ask of you they are connected to the table what does God ask of you that it should be good from you for you it means to say yeah he does not ask anything of you for his needs it's for your needs whatever God asks of you it's for you if you are righteous what are you giving God don't think when you are righteous it's for him no you're righteous for you it's for your benefit it's all for you and there are man explains further this is the connection to the next tsukim the next systems say foreign they all Grant honor to his name and therefore whatever he asks of you is not for him the rest of creation is doing that the Sun the moon the stars the planets the Earth the trees the animals God doesn't need you Rock just he wants to do what's good for you desire your forefathers he selected their seed after you make you are the choices of their seed like Ishmael you are not like Ishmael and not like Isa so I just want to add to ramban which I think is uh extremely worthwhile to focus on because rambana is learning that the possible saying and what now what does Hashem ask of you that it should be good for you it's well known the comments of the government is obligated to make a hundred blessings what does God ask of you don't read it Ma but Maya a hundred blessings Hashem asks of you like well plugging the ramban into ravmeier's drasha with the Posse grids as follows and now Israel a hundred God asks of you let toy block that it should be good for you meaning one would think oh we're making a hundred blessings a day look how much we're offering God no you're not reading the pasta correctly according to the rambanville Israel Hashem for a hundred why let that it should be good for you by the way review of kamonesky points out that he says in order to remember Hashem always and to fear Him we are commanded to make 100 blessings a day blessings stem from Fear hence here the dresser Amir fits very beautifully into the Posse as the very next words are hiroshimai says want to give a few illustrations of how making brachos properly are good for us we are the ones who are benefiting from making blessings properly let's start with the promise of the safer emits he has a tradition from his that anyone who is Amazon in a honorable respectful fashion their whole life the Merit of is Honorable paranasa in fact the zayara khado says that somebody who blesses Hashem when they're full they should have kavana the Zara says and do so not with sadness but with joy because God gives you the food with joy and if you bless him with joy he will supply you with paranasa with joy and comments and then it should say that this is alluded to an apostate Hashem the blessing of God meaning not just through the blessing of God but the blessing that we make which is biblical makes one wealthy so here we see an example of God asks you to make it's good for you you're the one who benefits from it Factory Catherines and submission there is a certain letter that does not appear in that is the final pay because all bad stuff ends in a final pay off anger Fierce wrath enough extreme anger and I would add bad stuff also ends in a final pain so all of the this indicates says that one who is saved from all Fierce anger then has no power when there is so again we see God asks us to make the blessings for our benefit and what does it mean to make breakfast says one should say it because rum and Mission Brewer points out that it is recommended to make from a venture inside so that is a benefit of let's turn to Asha yatsar the Seder hayoim who was a REV maishamas student of the arizal he is he writes regarding it's generally understood that he is promising that if somebody makes us somebody makes us they will not need to come onto a doctor their whole life says in fact the great going he writes that he has a tradition from that has the capacity to heal someone from and therefore if somebody's looking for a flora they should focus on and the stipler would recommend one should also say ashayats are inside and perhaps even point to the words while saying it in fact it is reported in the saferness Schwab that when would make ashayotsar he would say with such kavana it would be as if he was davening the Ilah so here we have another bracha yasar Asha is not further abandon some it's for us it heals us it protects our health it gives us Brios so here's another example God asks of you so I could give you paranasa so that you could be healthy this is all based on the ramban I'm asking you that it should be good for you let's turn to is also according to many the eraser that slack says and bezel shamal include these marimakomas as a PDF on the OU Shear that in his opinion because satara is a scula nifla not to forget your learning in fact the maple Lawson River follow Hamburg he says that it's the school of law that your children should be successful in learning Tire in fact in the safest silesim Sim Zion he says it's a scula Paduka menusa that to be successful I want to share with you an amazing so here we have berkra samazain is the school for ashiros ashayatsar health at the end of purchase Emma we have a very disturbing incident of the makalal of somebody who pronounced hashem's name clearly and Kirsten and Robin is bothered why do we need to record the story in the Torah isn't it a disgrace for God to have the story recorded in the Tyra says no the fact that the story happened teaches us a great lesson someone said hashem's name clearly and cursed it was punished with Misa then if someone pronounces the name of Hashem clearly and gives it Abraham God says I ask you to make a hundred it ain't for me the toy Block it's for you I want you to have paranasa I want you to be healthy I want you to have nachas from your children I want you to remember your learning I want you to live forever says of what benefit is our blessings are only to access God's blessings similar to what the gemaran saita says about the kohanim kalham they get the bracha we bless so that we can get blessed Hashem lift up your hands and bless God will bless you this is all may usad and the ramban's reading of the Posse all the great benefits of life are included in compass as a reward for brachos with cavana and Hashem asks us to make the brachos for our benefit wishing everyone an amazing day you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
