Ari Goldwag - Chayei Sarah - All the Blessings

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold Wegg recorded with les femmes never-ending assistance and Ramon fisherman Israel 57 79 2018 this week's parsha is precious Kyocera and in our partial so the Torah describes when sorry a man who died when sorry men have passed away yes luck her son was 37 years old and it was time for him to get married he was not yet married and the Torah tells us read for telling us the kinda introductory puzzle good introductory verse which speaks about the entire description of the events it has to do is Avram Aveeno Abraham sending Eliezer is serving to find a wife for us hug so the pasta that starts off the whole story says like this this is in chapter 24 verse 1 it's right after sorry man who is buried verse tells about Avraham so King Bob I am and he was elderly Abram was elderly but by your name he'd come of days whatever that means I'm not gonna get into it Hashem Barabbas Avraham back home and God had blessed Abraham with everything verses go on to save i'ma have Ramallah half those can be so emotional cultural assume like our town safely avril lavigne Abraham has Eliezer his servants swear to him he's going to go back to Rama V no Abraham's birthplace is going back to go back to his family bring a wife for his son only from his family he doesn't want anyone who's from there Kirsten people of Canaan of Kanaan only from his own family back in the land of Horan okay and the tour gives us the whole description of eleazar's travels and his an interaction and and how he ended up finding Rifco Rebekah bringing her back it's like getting married to her what I'd like to focus in on and try to understand and I'll share with you a beautiful run ban on this verse is the introductory verse the puck which if we read the passage on a simple level we can understand basically why he's trying to say it but we need to understand on a deeper level what is the intent of the verse what is the intent of the Torah when it says is for knocking Bubba Yaman before telling us about the fact that he's going to send off Eliezer to find a way for his son you suck it tells us he was elderly a sham beerus a Brownback call and God had blessed him with everything so on the passion understanding why does it say this what's the idea because the Torah is telling us that he had everything he had tremendous blessings and in order it's very nice to have lots of blessings very nice to have physical and even spiritual wealth but if there's no one to bequeath it to if your son has not yet gotten married and we don't see the continuation of the family so it doesn't have so much value so it sparked him in a certain sense to want to send off his servant Eliezer to find a wife for his son you suck hey let's I'd like to read to you inside the Ramban there's an amazing deep shock deep idea that he brings no share with you okay the vs. Bosch a mere after several home back home that Hashem had blessed Abraham with with everything but I share the Nook awesome recovered he quotes first from the eben Ezra who says that he had been blessed with everything what does I mean with wealth with possessions with honor or a human boob on him with length of days he was an old man he was 137 years old at the time and he had children right yeah you Shmuel he needs talk he says call kinda saw dominance is everything that a person desires Sabra an Abraham had had all that he desires mr. Acosta is my Marquis Hashanah Michael like we said this is to teach us the verse is telling us this to tell us that he was he had everything life Costard avez-vous assez Chavira bottom Lebanon Chien in column a loss a quitter the only thing missing was that his own son should have a child who would then inherit his greatness and his honor hey miss Eliza and that's why Abraham desire that his son go and get married la vecina by xenian if la sister ambani quotes an amazing concept we'll see how far into it we can get but there's just a beautiful beautiful deep idea which I'd like to share you the throne ban tells us the good Marvin Bob Bashara conduct as I know a base on page 16 B tells us an amazing thing I'm Rivage champion has a run back all the verse tells us that a shipment blessed Abraham with everything what does it mean everything what does it mean that he was blessed now with everything what is the idea of everything what is the word backhaul all right that's we're going to it's gonna be kind of the center of our discussion for today Romero I marry the mayor says she'll Hisle a bus that that he didn't have a daughter we're going to see what would be the advantage why would that be considered a blessing Abraham did not have a daughter so that's the first opinion that he did not have a daughter review who died Marin review this is no bass Hollow high solo indeed he did have a daughter so the blessing was that he had a daughter so he had a son and a daughter whose McCain limits for pre of Rivia the obligation to be fruitful multiply which includes having a son

was Beck also when it says on the Versace me Rasmus Avraham Bach all the verse is telling us that Abraham had a blessing and the blessing was he had a daughter whose name was Paco literally it means he was blessed in everything but we're saying that the word buckle which means in everything is a reference to the name of his daughter okay Dara sure we managed to isolate Vaslav ROM so their own bond explains that Abraham did not have a door Azul Olive raha this considered a blessing for my kilo Hayashi Iraq Lebanon annaroo rim what would have happened if Abraham had had a daughter it would have been that the only person that would have married her would have been someone from the surrounding area of Canaan and the the Canaanite people were accursed it as we saw in the story of Noah after the flood with Kenan and calm so that was something that would have been it would have had a bad result if he have had a daughter so so that's the understanding of the first opinion the remain said that he didn't have a daughter Michelle canola heart saying what happens women they're usually sent right what what what happen with a sock was rifka was Rebecca was brought to the Land of Israel but if he would have had a daughter he would have had to send her back to her family because the woman goes after the after the husband that's a general principle Michelle Carroll Arts again can't

chemistry shame Abbas and a ham came the Rahman is explaining I'm chemical and mentioned the name of the daughter Luba MS says the Ramban the truth is there's an amazing teaching here she ain't got coven Allah Karim Allah Islam in Rebbe who doe idea of sin a shame about sensors provide they're not just coming the simple understanding of this my focus of this argument has to do it okay well did he have a daughter do you not have a daughter what was her name that's the simplest thing but there's something deeper that's going on here Kalina lampshades uber huh social Avram she could either close onions that we have to understand that they wouldn't have just said that when the verse tells us this all inclusive blessing Abraham was blessed by God in everything it can't beat at the simple shot simple understanding is is correct it has to be a deeper understanding because it couldn't be that when it says this amazing blessing that he had it was just talking about the fact that he had a daughter she wasn't given I say a Shem the BAS a caster shmakov that the verse is just telling us that God blessed him with a daughter whose name was Paco I can't be understanding because there's a much deeper understanding here well I can teach you the fish are Kosovo's a union a mcboyd okay i'm is teaching us a very deep understanding a very deep idea the dursa was a soybean solicitor and we will see a few josh's we'll see if we can get to all of them will probably only get to one of them there are a few rushes that we find cos all our sages teach us amazing things in regards to what is this idea of bucco what is the idea of all the blessing of all we see it elsewhere also Yacouba vino Jacob says that he actually call I have everything right if we find this word call used to refer to a blessing an all-inclusive blessing ASA on the other hand a sahaja yogi graph I have a lot there's a big difference between having a lot and having everything okay so what is the idea of having everything was idea of all our key Buchalter mausoleum our sages tell us that the word bahcall hints to a very deep idea very powerful idea Reuben M are in regards to this the verse says I know I share my circle I am God I create everything what is this everything that God creates Lucien Emmer the eastern arts but coal who the verse says in Ecclesiastes chapter 5 verse 8 the advantage of the earth is is in everything it's in this aspect of everything what is the aspect of everything or all your akhirah or its batavia de la Hache fa a-- so the Ramban explains to us what is the aspect of coal what is the idea of all what is the blessing that Abraham had listen closely here this is the point and we're going to expand and try to understand the depth of it the advantage of the earth and the great good what is it that we have here in the physical realm how does good come into the world had his God send down his blessings into the world I'll call boy Island before Kiba Kali the good that God brings down the chef at the influx of goodness that God brings out into the world comes through the aspect of call through all we speak about all we think about the blessing of Abraham that had it all it means that he was ackley he was a vessel to receive the blessings through Abraham all of the blessings of the world would come into the world that's what it means God blessed him with everything it means all blessings that are coming into the world come through Abraham via Hamidah hush - minimum United's the eighth the eighth aspect of the thirteen attributes the eighth attribute I can explain here right now we knock Harris the car a bus and sell us momentum there's two meters there's two concepts that are connected to each other one extends out from the other one is called Combe which means this aspect of the all-inclusive aspects which the blessings come through and the one that receives this which is also called the earth which we refer to just now which is all of physical reality is also called bus which means the daughter okay don't try to understand it yet I'm not explaining yet ooh bubble mining Asarco he based National Coalition for cloud neros me Milla's via sham Macomb welcome whenever we find it says here what is it says it's Baja sham and God blessed Abraham in everything so never you have that valve and God and God means there's something that's coming that God has created obviously but there's something that comes along with God that God uses in order to bring down the blessings into the world it's referred to as best Dino it's referred to as God's court God and his court God brings down the blessings through this aspect of his court you should increase kala we find a reference to the same idea it's referred to as a bride interestingly beautifully the word bride in Hebrew is a kala the root of the word kala is call which means everything because the aspect I don't know if I get I don't know if I want to get into it right now but but the aspect of all is the all-inclusive aspects it's where all the blessings are found it's where the person when a person gets married experiences tremendous blessings when a person has a child blessings come into his life and that comes through his wife it comes through the person he marries through that Union and so she's referred to as a caller which the route of which is of is call which means everything so the aspect of call the aspect of everything is where the blessings come where all the blessings that are as it were floating in the air come down they get concretize they cut collected and they come out into the world or into a person's life but where she coulomb and I call and the aspect of call includes everything he shaman mecanim schmuck in SSE Stroh Ramon tells us that we find that our sages refer to a concept of knesset zero which means the congregation of Israel well this idea of the congregation of Israel it's this aspect of all of these aspects coming together all the blessings coming together to be distributed out into the world they have to come to a central location in order to it for them to be distributed out into the world it's referred to as the candy congregation of Israel the Jewish people and Abraham who is the root of the Jewish people is represented by this concept of Knesset Israel the place where the blessings gather and are distributed to the world income is Rama Borgia he canoes us a call kanessa sees well the congregation of Israel is a reference to this aspect now Amina has a Cecil Avram kiba's this actually this concept was to Abraham like a daughter kee who Ishaaq acid is Nagas oh very important idea Abraham is the hot acid he's the man of kindness he's the one who represents God's attribute in in our world he represents God's attribute excuse me of kindness so that means that he's the one who receives kindness through whom kindness comes into the world that's why God didn't want to just have have a judgment on the people of Saddam without telling Abraham he turned to Abraham who represents his media his attribute of kindness in the world in order to see if Abraham could somehow balance out and bring things from the side of judgment to the side of kindness he wasn't successful but that's the idea of Abraham being kindness through him comes the blessings into the world because of that fact ham Cana Broca's action his birth but Paco ramez's South Charlotte bus we saw each day I should I Highland with our medicine in cuddle he's a harem says we're not just talking about we talk about by call it's not just talking about a daughter it's not just talking about whether he had a daughter he didn't have a daughter it was a blessing he wasn't a blessing or it was a blessing because he did or he didn't know we're talking about the fact that he was the one who was now it was becoming clear that he was the one who is going to be the conduit through whom the blessings of God come into the world of all here a message in English apparel I said by me Toshiba tech Mina Sako came to Craig um he called showing Kashmiri care boy so so he there is an aspect called call which means the all-inclusive aspect which is all the blessings come through Abraham now merited to have that aspect to manifest that aspect in the world and therefore that's what the verse means when it says Russian barajas Arabic all God blessed Abraham in this aspect of coal but Indian has said so here's an amazing thing an amazing mattress which on the surface is bewildering beyond difficult to understand but the Rambam teaches us what it what it means based on what we're saying we can understand what it means when ian has a name so they say no Ramos aha God is in the comments problem this idea is hinted to in our sages in in the Midrash many many different places in Sharma the measures cause this and we have an imagined she Reshiram in the song of songs shall I be shamanic is Ruby Ilias ever of the icy now listen to the way the story starts because it's instructive to understand what's going on remain your high shimmery high the author of the Czar asked the following questions rebellious are the son of a bi see him separately as there was a great torah scholar it was a great sage and he was the son of Rebbe OC who was also a great sage of the previous generation see shimon ben york I says to him Esther schemata Miyavi Hama who by parish I truly may perhaps you will either have heard an understanding of the verse from your father maybe you heard from your father about this verse interesting that he says to me he wants an understanding from his father about the verse the verse says 'but arsh it's really my the verse refers to a crown with which he was crowned by his mother what is the crown with which she was crowned by his mother what is the reference to a crown what is the reference to a mother more like hang so really as are the center of us you said yes I did hear something from my father a BOC only highest so remember if I said to him what was it that you heard I'm a mushroom a melon he said an analogy to a king shall I sleep a thief even he had an only daughter we have a daughter again well mahabhava yes to me died and and he he showed her an awesome amount of affection where Clara is a beating he called her his door Liza's macabre archer currently sarkozy he kept showing her love to the point where he didn't call her any longer his daughter he called her his sister it's an even deeper level level of love I mean he put her he said you're not just my daughter is somebody who's getting who is an extension of myself but you are on an equal level to me you are my sister Louis does Makarova Chikara Lisa Amy he didn't stop showing her love until he called her his mother which means that the king was saying to his daughter you are like the one who gave me life you are like the one who gave me my mother you're like my mother you're not even something that's an extension of me you're not on the same level as me you are on a higher level than me cockpit feel TB about college Berkeley seized from a car bTW in a similar way Hashem showed this love to the Jewish people and this is this ISM an amazing idea and this is gonna expel explain for us help us understand why this is the introduction to Avram of in Abraham going and sending his sermon Elias to find a wife for his son okay listen carefully here this is an amazing idea first God refers to the Jewish people as his daughter how do we know I don't see the verse says shimmy Basara II in Psalms chapter 45 verse 11 refers to the fact that God calls us his daughter here o daughter and see boys doesn't have a carnal I see you continued to show them love and refer to him to the Jewish people as his sister on some level the Jewish people are on our God refers to us as parallel to him generic shavoo a lie I'm sorry I skipped Shanna Piske really see variety disconnects I see Rio see open for me my sister my beloved God refers to us as his sister with us doesn't have a shekharan Amy and God also refers to Jewish people as his mother shouldn't mr akibo a lie I mean Lulu me listen to me the reason Isaiah chapter 51 verse 4 says listen to me my nation it refers to us as Lumi which is another word for nation let me mix if the way that the verse is written it says little me without above so could also he read has lit a me my mother okay so we see there's Jewish people at first I referred to as a daughter never referred as a sister then I referred to as a mother what is the idea if just finish off this measurement rebbi shimon you have in NASH Qureshi he stood up he kissed him on his head which is also interesting I'm gonna either Lloyd bussy unleash my Azad army people die if I had not come at all and her was this it was if it was worth it it was this is an amazing thing that you said okay so what is the idea here what does this measure saying it's very difficult to understand but I believe that the idea is like this it's a very deep idea when we see that Abraham is blessed buckle with everything what we're saying is that Hashem as we said before Hashem God manifests in the world through Abraham that means that if you look in the world and you want to know where is God you can't see God right where do you turn look at Abraham you see God manifesting in the world through Abraham okay let's think about it in terms of a child okay a person has a child and the child follows in his ways I say person is dedicated to spirituality to Torah to learning to spreading word Torah messengers whatever it is and then his son continues in his ways he becomes a Torah scholar he becomes somebody who also wants to teach spiritual lessons to people and he carries on the tradition of his father so first he's just an extension of his father right and this that's what's going on here with you it's cogito ik is an extension of abraham and at first he's you know he's just an extension as the years go on as the son becomes greater so he becomes on the same level as his father slowly as things you know as is the way things are in in history the father gets older he's no longer as effective he's no longer as great perhaps he loses his memory he comes old whatever he passes on from the world and now who is the one who represents the father in the world that son continues the legacy of the father now that son is as it were the mother of the father right you miss from a stage of a child to a stage of a contemporary to the stage of the the one who now represents the father in the world and the one who is the mother of the father so to speak because without that child the father is gone from the world and in the same way Hashem chooses she chooses to make Abraham his child first and then his contemporary as it were and then his mother as it were and that's what the Jewish people are that's what we are we are the ones who represent godliness in the world God blesses us with everything Avraham Avinu is getting old he's sucking buh-bye Amin he sees that his son who was an extension of him became a contemporary of his but now he's moving into the stage where his son is taking over for him and that's not going to be possible without his son having someone to take over for him to carry over the message to the next generation because it has to be something that continues the the spiritual message can't stop there then if Hashem blessed Abraham with everything that means that Abraham is is the one who everyone's kanessa cease from the place where the the the godliness the the blessings of God come into the world and that has to be God wants his blessings to manifest in the world not just in the times of Abraham four thousand years ago not just in the times of Yitzhak not in times of of Yaakov of Jacob but throughout history so that means that there has to be a continuation of the Jewish people and that means that it's time for Yitzhak to get married and so that is why the taurah / ephesus the entire story of Eliezer that he is going to go and find a wife for his that's prefaced with the fact that Abraham was blessed in all he had all of the blessings he was the one that was to manifest godliness in the world and now it was time to give that manifesto over to his own son to Yitzhak and for him to be able to give it over to his own children which could only have him by him marrying Rebekah by marrying the next person who was to be the aim you sir are the mother of the Jewish people so I want to bless you and I ask you to bless me sure should help us we should recognize who we are how we are part of that chain a sham bear act as cool ANOVA call we are members of the Jewish people we are people who have this manifesto we have this obligation we have this blessing we have this obligation to be the source of blessings the source of spirituality for the entire world so Shem should help us to recognize that to understand that to try the best to try our best to be an example of that for all those around us thank you so much for listening have a wonderful Shabbos
