and welcome back to our
one of the interesting stories that we
find as Jacobu heads out of to go find a
wife to leave and to run away from his
brother wants to kill him. Yakabino
encounters a well and he sees three
flock of sheep standing around this well
in the middle of the day doing nothing
and Yakov begins to get involved in a
conversation and they explain to
Yakabino that the reason why we're here
in the middle of the day is because we
need to drink. We need to give to our
sheep water to drink from the well. And
until all of the shepherds come and
together collectively lift the rack off
the well, we're not able to go ahead and
drink. And therefore, we're waiting here
until all the shepherds come. Yakavino
goes over to the rock, the heavy rock
that needs multiple people to take it
off, which is sitting on top of the
water. And Yakavina, like Rashi says,
pulls it off like a cork out of a bottle
without any difficulty at all, allowing
the shepherds to go ahead and drink. And
then Yakavina meets Rakenu and Yakavinu
is brought back to the house of Lavan.
And the story continues. And the shila
is exactly what is the story doing? Why
does Yakabinu specifically see a beer a
well? Why does Yakabu see only three
flock of sheep standing around there?
Why not four? Why not five? What does it
mean that Yakabino goes ahead and pulls
the rock off the well with with ease?
Yakav is the Ishamoshalam. Yakavin was
not the ish. He's not the one who's
outside in the field. Yakov was the
Yosha. What exactly gave Yakov and how
exactly was Ya did Yakov have the
strength that he had three shepherds
standing there they couldn't lift it off
and Yakovu who's sitting alerting his
whole life has the capability to lift it
off easily clearly there's something
deeper going on clearly this is not just
a story about sheep wanting to drink
water from a well but clearly there are
hidden meanings and hidden layers in
this story as there are in every story
and this has multiple ways to explain
exactly what the beer what the well
represents what the flock of sheep
represent but in the
He says a beautiful thing
in the name of his grandfather.
He said on what we say inab
that the says in cherishim to go ahead
and to greet to greet my beloved
we're going to go out into the field and
some have the mic they say
to go out into the shabas to go greet
the
said this of
is a reference to shabas why is the why
is going out into the field which is the
way theel himself physically used to go
with meet them out to the field to greet
the Shabas. Why specifically does aim
use the idea of a when it's referring to
Shabas says in the name of that the name
of the in the name of
Israel during the six days of the week
the world is called a midbar it's a
desolate place where it's not ready to
to go ahead and to plant anything
obviously to plant physical things a
person can only plant during the six
days of the week and not on shabas but
when a person wants to plant those
things that have a real key in those
things that are able to last which
The six days of the week is not a ripe
not are not days are days which are not
ripe and not ready to go ahead and to
plant in a proper way. But Shabas
Shabas is called
which is meant to go ahead and to plant.
There was a well bas means that that
well is a reference to the water of
Shabas and the water of Shabas is bas in
the field because Shabas kesh is like a
field which has the irrigation and is
ready to go ahead and that a person is
able to plant himself in a way in Shabas
and to see real results both in his ding
and his learning and in every area of a
person's capable of seeing real results
in the work that a person puts in on
Shabas Shabas is a Shabas is a field and
the field allows that which is planted
in it to be able to wrote properly and
that's the way the excuse me explained
the idea of the
now it's obvious what the gimmel ed what
the three flock of sheep are theel says
that there are three days after every
shabas that it takes to come down from a
shabas that a person still has some
residual effect of shabas a person still
connected to the on Sunday and Tuesday
Wednesday Thursday
of preparation and getting on one's
ready to be
of the next Shabas. And therefore says
this is this gimmel ed there are three
flocks of sheep represent the three days
of the week. The three days of the week
are represent before Shabas. The three
days of the week that represent after
Shabas
those are the days that are there that
are connected to Shabas. But they're
called which literally means flocks of
sheep. flocks of sheep has galad says
this is those are days in which the
kadusha is nether it's hidden the days
of the week of course have kadusha
inside of it the days of the week of
course have an aspect of is an aspect of
a inside of it but on a surface level
it's gimmel ed on a surface level it's
not the is still covered over there
still a rock on top of the well of
shabas kesh and during the six days of
the week it's edge rate the connection
that one has to kusha to shabas kadesh
is hidden over with the hidden over with
the Evan which as Fas explains in other
places the Evan as the Gamar Suka tells
us is a reference to the Yates Evan and
therefore Shabas Kaidesh is covered over
by an Evan Shabas Kaidesh is covered
over by a rock and the gimble edge rate
sign the three days are surrounding
Shabas trying to attach themselves to
Shabas but their edge rate sign they're
not connected but says even though the
kaduca over by those days are hidden
nevertheless
like these
The says they were sitting there waiting
to drink from the water. They were
surrounding the well. They weren't just
sitting anywhere in the field waiting
for all the shepherds to come. They sat
around the well waiting for the
shepherds to be able to go ahead and
lift the rock off the well so that they
could drink the [clears throat] sweet
waters of Shabases. says,
"The more one goes ahead and attaches
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday to shabases, the more
one's able to go ahead and live with the
previous Shabas on Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, and prepare for the following
Shabas on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
the more one's able to ensure that the
flocks of sheep although they don't have
the revelation of Shabas kesh the same
way you have it on Shabas and they're in
the place of the midbar but they're
going ahead and they're sitting in close
proximity to the well they want to
attach themselves to Shabas the more one
is then capable when the rock comes off
to be able to drink from the water of
Shabas in the proper way
all the days of the week are all the
days of the week get the from the well
from Shabases as as the says
is the it's the and therefore every day
of the week needs to be connected and
one needs to go ahead and to recognize
and to uncover the kaduca of shabas that
lies dormant inside of every day and
therefore
during the six days of week it's not
revealed because there's a there's a
large rock on top of the well but our
job says is to ensure that we're sitting
in close proximity to the well that
we're not going ahead and just saying
okay shabas will come when Shabas comes.
No, no. Every day of the week,
every day of the week, we're involved in
the preparation whether physically or
spiritually by preparing for Shabas by
recognizing that our whole week needs to
revolve around Shabas. Everything in
life needs to revolve around Shabas
Kadesh. We either are just coming off of
a Shabas or preparing for Shabas. But
Shabas Kadesh is not a one day a week,
one day a week, one occurrence. Shabas
Kadesh is every day of the week. And a
person who's capable to recognize that
even though the may top and even though
maybe
nevertheless I'm
Shabas, I need the waters of Shabas. I
can't survive during the six days of the
week without the waters of Shabas and I
wait the whole week for Shabases and I
yearn for Shabas and I sit in close
proximity and I try as much as possible
during the week to attach myself to
Shabas because I want to drink from the
waters of Shabas. And the more one does
that during the week, the more one is
able to attach himself during the week
to Shabas and the more the Shabas Kadesh
is able to have its proper effect.
This is why Jacob was able to walk over
to the rock, walk over to the rock, walk
over to the well and be able to take it
off. The zeresh tells us that during the
six days of the week is on the level of
Shabas Kadesh. Saddic doesn't live in
the world of weekday. A sadic lives
shabas kesh all week long. The same way
every one of us is obligated to go ahead
and to connect
Shabas to connect every day of the six
days of the week to Shabasic is able to
actualize that idea and is able to live
Shabasik every every day of the week.
The way we live on Shabas that sadic
lives during every day of the week.
Obviously his Shabas is even higher than
us. But the saddic lives shabasik the
whole week. And therefore Yakavinu comes
and in the middle of the week without
all the edit there without everybody
there says it doesn't matter what day of
the week it is. I can take the rock off
the well the
off of Shabases and I can reveal Shabas
during any moment of the week. And our
job is being
our job as being and being connected to
what it means to be a sadic is to attach
oursel to Shabas every day of the week.
That Shabas becomes the center focus of
our week. Shabas becomes the center
focus of our life. And the more we
revolve, the more we allow our weak to
revolve around Shabas, the more we stay
in close proximity to Shabas, the more
we yearn for Shabas
Shabas, we have a for the of Shabas, for
the sweetness of Shabas, the more that
rock is able to be taken off even during
the six days of the week and the more
when it's finally taken off and are able
to say
that we're able to go out into the field
of Shabas Kesh, the more we're able to
appreciate the sweet waters of Shabas.
Hashem should help us to attach oursel
every day of the week to Shabas Kadesh
to recognize that chabas is this focal
point of the week. We're able to do that
and able to uncover the rock even a
little bit and to drink a little bit
from the waters of Shabas during the
week then Hashem will be able to to
drink from the proper waters of Shabas
on Shabasesh
to Shabas. had a great choice.
