427 views
Why is Moshe told not to fight with the descendants of Esav? Why is King David told the same thing? Why would they have wanted to fight with them? What is the special merit of Esav? Why does the offspring of Esav have the power to destroy the Temple? Why does Yakov tell Esav to go ahead on his own? What does this represent for the offspring of each of them? When is the ultimate showdown between these two powers? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

listening to the weekly partial podcast

never-ending assistance in Ramat
Patricia's real 5778 2018
this week's parsha is parshas the forum
and I'm always interested to try to
understand we always have partial varam
right before tisha buff which is when we
commemorate the destruction of the first
and second temples but timing - and many
many other tragedies that occurred on
this day which are all a result all of
the Exile the Jewish people as a result
of the destruction of the temple so why
do we read parshas the forum it's always
it always falls out right before tisha
Bhavan in this week so at issue of is
Shabbos we fast on Sunday so what is the
centrality of parshas the forum what do
we or what are we to learn from it that
has to do with tisha buff with this day
of fasting with this day of mourning and
I believe that there are numerous
different instances within the parsha
that have to do with tissue bob one of
them is there's a description the fact
that the Jewish people cried and we're
therefore decreed that they stay in the
wilderness for 40 years and that's
something that occurred on tissue buff
but besides for that I think there's
something central here and that has to
do with with Asaph interestingly there's
a whole section in the Madras I'm gonna
read for you a bunch of different pieces
from to Madras not every single piece I
can't read it all it's not enough time
we had a few hours we could read them
all but here it refers to the people of
Edom the people of Asaph chapter 2 verse
2 it says like this I'll read a few so
came a few verses my my show me a lie
anymore God said to me as follows
raveloe hem service AHA Rosa you no
longer need to be surrounding this
mountain Panola hamsa fauna turn north
yes I'm selling more and command the
nation as follows a time I ever make
vous la fete emanates of you are passing
over into the borders of your brothers
the children of Asaph of Esau I am a
sailor who live
in Sayre the euro me cam - Martin they
will be afraid of you and you should be
very careful Altus girl bombs don't
start up with him
Eli Taylor hey me art so I will not give
you any piece of their land admit rakov
ruggle even a spot for you to stand key
Russia lay Asaph southeast heart sailor
ace of interestingly is referred to as
the brother of the Jewish people and his
great-grandchildren were considered
brothers in a certain way and this this
place is location where they live which
we called which was called Sayer was
specifically an inheritance for the
children of Asaph Jewish people are not
to get anything from that place I hold
teach premier tombak SF the Haltom how
do I got mine till crewmate come back
and say we should see some you can buy
food from them you can buy drink from
them
show me how Barack of the Hamas a good
car you're you're gonna you have the
blessings God has been with you for 40
years rest lips I can say and posture
class says verse 8 says but never miss a
few minutes of you sure miss a yer there
are rubber make a last minute and go ver
Navy Managua Derek with Moya of they
pass through the land of a sub okay so
now the metric tells us some amazing
things in regards to the Jewish people
our relationship with Asaph who is a sub
and let's remember that the as the
measure she is going to say as hopefully
we'll see who were the the offspring of
a sub ultimately with the Roman people
the Romans were considered Edom and
today the Western world in Kazan are in
are the works of our sages the Western
world is you know whether it's Europe
whether it's the United States they are
considered Rome and they are considered
the offspring of a sub so we need to
understand who they are and what is
their role in history and what is their
role when it comes to mushiya when it
comes to the advent of the Messianic age
because it's very clear as well soon see
that they are
players and we see that that yaakov
innate so these two brothers the Jewish
people and the people of who descend
from Rome descend from a sub in Rome
we're brothers
as we saw in the verse we are brothers
and so we need to understand what is
this what is the role of ace of who was
he who was he personally because the
forbear of a nation leaves a spiritual
imprint upon his children so major says
like this and this is in the first
chapter of devar I'm in the first
section of the mattress obviously it's
on this puss up here looking here in
chapter 2 verse 4 rather him saving
Sahara Isaiah the verse says literally
it means it's enough for you to be
surrounding this mountain this is
speaking again at the end of the 40
years of the Jewish people's stay in the
wilderness so we speak about the fact
that that they're gonna have to pass
through the land of Asaph and then you
can't start up with asa don't start up
with him why so one of the things the
magic tells us is that there was a
specialist course special merit that ace
have had what was the great spiritual
merit that ASA had and his progeny you
know earned so to speak or received as a
as an inheritance
emember shinning him leo like cubit
Bria's a voice of kamayani as a voice i
Mishima Gamliel was at Ana lived about
2,000 years ago so he told us he tells
us that there was nobody in the world at
his time who had shown honor and respect
for his parents the way that he did
what's uh see shakira is Alaba VI sorry
many but assuming him leo says that ace
of he he honored his parents you are and
his father in a more deep way Cates odd
what was the difference between the way
were mentioning I'm Leila honored and
ace of honored I'm Jimmy I'm Lila I use
michelle michaud became the same when it
came to the way that I would serve my
father and I would honor him so I'm
shooting I'm Leo tells us and and I
so that the Pearson explained that he
would wear clothes that were not such
nice clothes you wear clothes that show
his subservience to his father that
showed that he was a servant of his
father however remission Gamliel tells
us I'm a valet Sedlacek a nice son Kile
Olivia Shoshanna - Ovid hey Nolan the
clothes that ASA would wear when he came
in to serve his father yet stock Isaac
so those clothes were very beautiful and
special clothes they were called Camus
dice and he brings the whole story of
how Yaakov stole the blessings but he
put on the clothes of a sub which were
beautiful clothes which rifki Rebecca
was taking care of on behalf of a svet a
so we're especially when he came to
serve his father so he see that Asaph
had a tremendous spiritual power and it
was a result of his service of his
father his scuba-dive aim is honoring
his father hallo Martha chase away
Isaiah before the voice so we see from
this then a sub is somebody who's her
careful about honoring his father I'm
Rev you reviewed and says kingship oh
you stole a sexy Mahama when the people
of Israel came to pass through his land
and it could have been a time of war
harro hawkish broke will dementia is a
higher she always Qumran boy God showed
Moshe Rabbeinu Moses the mountain in
which the forefathers were buried which
is a reference to have run the city of
heaven where the like the Marisa pilla
the Cave of Machpelah is and where the
forefathers of bury the Merlyn moisture
Merlyn leaves ro emptiness Davila so you
said to Moshe speak to the people of
Israel and tell them that you cannot
fight with Edom you can't fight with
offspring evasive actions package Lascar
a kyboot because he still has the scar
the reward for his having honoured his
father isaac give it as a lyric for
maharaja he honored those who were
buried on this mountain the mountain of
quran mean i mean how do we know me
Masha Karina mania in Rotherham save us
ours and verse says you can travel ahem
service ahara rasa
there's something red literally means
it's enough of you being around this
mountain but what it's also saying in
the measures to measure is understanding
it to mean that you can't get around you
have to go around this mountain what's
the mountain it's reference to the
mountain of have roan because of the
honor that the ACE of showed his parents
measure continues Java Rocka Rolla hem
save a Sahara is s ession reclusive me
IV Lanie ear mats or zero me the
measures tells us that the verse until
I'm the verse in Psalm chapter 60 verse
11 says who can let me pass through a
city which is completely protected what
is this a reference to said the manage
the reference to Rome King David was
saying that I cannot pass through Rome I
cannot penetrate the the offspring of
Asaph King David of course we need to
understand the many uses King David
because I'll do as I say just do as a
representative of Messiah the Messiah
cuz he is the great great-grandfather of
Messiah who the Messiah
so when he says I cannot penetrate Rome
what are you saying is that in the
future there will be a time when the
Jewish people cannot penetrate Rome and
the measures points out that dub himself
King David ruled over over the Adame
people there's there's no opinion
exactly in what way he showed his his
rulership either is because he had tax
collectors or he had statues of himself
which showed that he was the ruler there
but he ruled over them nevertheless
there was something that was
impenetrable about about the people of
Rome the Romans had power over the
Jewish people the Jewish people did not
have power over them Navarro heard of it
on in solid iris from moisture
applications doll Ibrahim there was a
command says the man Josh well this is
later on in the piece I've skipped
something here there's a command to dub
it that you can't you can't overcome or
we see that King David was was
recognizing the fact that he can't
overcome it just like Moshe Rabbeinu
that he tried or he wished
- to come into some kind of war with the
people event nobody wasn't able to Marty
Lee Rotherham and I said to him it's
enough for you you can't overcome him
Ravi's Avila tell me though Samy Sahara
is a the measure says that the another
explanation excuse me of the words Rob
ahem saves are Isaiah is that that
there's something that you need to be a
teacher to your students and for future
generations including King David that
you you know you can't overcome them now
it's very interesting here we need to
understand what the idea is is that most
Shah Bano himself it sounds like he
wanted to battle with with Asaph King
David it seems he wanted to battle or
that there would be a time in the future
when the Jewish people would want to
battle with him and yet there's a
warning here don't you can't start up
with them and it sounds like the reason
is because of his was the merit of his
great-great-grandfather which was the
great the great great-grandfather of the
people of Adam which was keeping of aim
honoring its okay it's very
interesting here I'm gonna read you
another piece I might be Shubin levy
very interesting and this has to do
obviously with issue of the destruction
of the temple the destruction of the
base my gosh
maybe Sherman lady Sybil Shabbo assign
Omaha commercial I'm when the enemy came
to destroy Jerusalem and speaking about
the Romans are you some shishun rebou
Shamas Egon there were 60,000 demons for
how you earn our Pisgah shall hey caliph
ahem
and the demons were actually standing
there at the entrance of the temple in
order to protect the temple and not
allow the Romans to destroy Kaman Shiro
Asahina very shy Seca's but then the
demons saw that the divine presence was
there and the divine presence was not
stopping the Romans from coming in so
mean and she how do we know that this is
true shakes if hey Shiva for you mean I
mean IIF the verse in a huh in
lamentation says the God turned away he
turned away his right hand as it were
because of or in front of the enemy of
hymnal mocking so even though they had
wanted to stand and destroy
the enemy of the Jewish people they let
him pass through a baby through the
Barsoomian Ross and Marcus base of a shy
circle a time of action is Davey glowy
action is baggage less car key with a
voice off very interesting the honor of
the the fact that he had honored the
fact that Asaph had honored his father
came back why - I'm stand back as it
were
why not shall allow the Romans to
destroy the temple what was it about
again it came back this hosts merit that
he had honored his his father very
interesting let's continue on here what
is the idea here
Irish mob our Roth Gedaliah omakase
superfluous on a pariah
here's another merit there was another
merit that aiso had why did Hashem stand
back and allow the Romans to destroy the
temple another merit he had was that be
shush in Lausanne Yaakov darling so if
there's another thing that I shot to pay
back as it were allow him to get through
and that is that when when Yaakov came
back when Jacob returned with his whole
family and ASA was coming out to greet
him with 400 battle-worthy men so Yaakov
sent a Dyron a present a gift
wow so Homer Lily Ashley robbed looted
steyr ASA said I don't I don't need the
gift I have so much please don't be
bothered so since he said usually rob I
have so much I'm Rocco - for collection
Isaiah keep dying blushing as Annie I'm
her like a new Mila fun of problem save
because of the fact that used to arrive
I have enough in order to honor Jacob so
therefore I'm said Roth look I'm so used
the same exact word enough it's enough
for you to go around that you were
around this mountain so the beginning of
the statement of a culture spark of God
to the Jewish people is don't start up
with him and use the word rough enough
because that's the same word that a
subview so we see that there's another
merit that you Asaph has and this allows
him to
to not have to come up against a fight
against the Jewish people the Jewish
people are not permitted to fight
against the Romans they're not permitted
to fight against the people as they come
into the land of Israel it's very
interesting
okay now I'd like to read to you a
little bit more and see we'll see how
much we can get done in the time that we
have Deborah Kerr my ravel ahem I'm Arab
aha
Megan attempt oh gosh Allah hey madam
million another amazing interesting
measures that you can't start off with
him why why can't you start if you start
up with him starting up with yourselves
if you mess with their blessing with the
blessing of a sub so you lose your own
blessing since the measures Kate said
Broca's Berkeley Aviv there's one
blessing when Jacob stole the blessings
from from a sub so there's one blessing
that Asaph did receive that was the
harbor hotel here you shall live by your
sword
well Yaakov Berryessa bravas Jacob
received ten blessings in that instance
me nitric ink see if I eternal Harlequin
meet Allah show my look at the blessings
over there speaking of the fact that God
is going to give Jacob from the dew of
the heavens in battaglia because sci-fi
social hepatitis if you try to fight
against them and and you overcome Asaph
with the sword which is his only
blasting that he has so then you will
lose your template sings Rawal comes
safe so therefore don't don't start off
with him very interesting okay so we see
a number of different interesting
concepts hopefully we'll try to bring
them together and get a picture of what
is the idea that's going on Omer Bhatia
more lehem but here says that God said
to the Jewish people in recent research
from of actually scars for him if you
see that a sieve is trying to start up
with you
I'll Tom do connect I do not stand in
his way
that's beam Watts Mikami men hide
yourself on him
how'd she have our alumni until his his
world passes have you been Elohim Safina
that's what the verse means when it says
face go toward the northward so fauna
which means north can also be to hide
fool means to hide revealed about Shawn
I'm Elise rel my buddy Sean I'm Aviva
vorkul Harcourt if you Tomas give me my
my Merlyn Watts peanuts becoming part of
LA - a problem so Jewish people said to
God they address God and said you know
the our forefather Isaac so we gave the
blessing that you should live by your
sword and you agree with this blessing
where are we supposed to run you want us
to hide ourselves where we supposed to
go over the hem so what's what we do
where do we go when the drum the war
drums are beating where do we go where
do we run away to or in Hammon recent
novel ahem Beulah Tyra run away to Tora
it's a final Tyra because it says burn
welcome to find a go to the north go to
the place of hiddenness that's a
reference to torsion mr y it's pointless
charm to Shia there's hidden within the
Torah for those who are righteous there
is something which gives them strength
and it gives them salvation number aqua
mount so final America drew Humpty no an
action of Melaka mushiya lover Akaya
mara - ruff - whoa wait until there's
another something pendulum so fine it
can also mean go to something that's
hidden as we said what's the thing
that's hidden there's something that's
hidden that's waiting for us wait until
the times the Messiah the times of the
Messiah's will soon seen all the time
who soon see are the times when the
power of Asaph is destroyed even though
yes he had power for many many millennia
as a result of his serving his father as
a result of showing kindness and honor
to his father as well as a certain level
of Honor toward his brother Jacob but
there's a point where that Zeus ends his
point where that ends and that is when
we see a horizon Messiah arrives now
let's see about that because that's the
last section we're going to speak about
here I'm Irish will burn off me - I'm
Yakko Yakko bikini bottom Isaac office
after after Jacob offered this gift to a
sub so ASA said to him that's I have
enough and yeah I said no I I want you
to take the gift
and an ace have offered to accompany
Yaakov as he travels and Jakob said no
you go ahead
I'm not interested in you I don't need
you to accompany me and ASA was really
saying in its essence what was what was
the far-reaching impact of what he meant
or what it was it could have been he
said I want to walk alongside you right
let's walk together in this world and
how's that órale Yaakov Jacob says yeah
for now I don't know if now I'm doing he
says no I want you to go ahead yeah
we're not tall along for tequila you go
ahead first you be the one who takes
this world as it were and I'm going to
be the one who takes the next world when
it comes to the times of Mushaf the
times of the Messiah instead of the
Western world being in charge instead of
the world of Rome the world of Edom
world of physicality being in charge so
the Jewish people will be the ones who
are going to be in charge and the world
of Adam will disappear okay Irish mob
are not when Hazara Kamakura relay I'm
at sea no Santiago in Mesa be Sayer
they're interesting right the verse says
I assure Allah don't say era you go
ahead until I meet you at the mountain
of Ser when did that happen it didn't
happen in time emotion Rubino
didn't happen the time of jacob Moshe
was told you know we got to go around
that we ran a lot to take over that
place at which point does it come that
the Jewish people take over the legacy
of Adam of Rome of the West at which
point mouths see your armor lay I'd
actually usually l'homme shake the
machine Department I say yeesh it's
going to be in the future time when I
have set up judges and and rescuers or
those who are powerful we're going to to
pay off so to speak that person should
never about all emotion the verse says
it's a personal of varriya Obadiah
chapter 1 verse 21 but all the Mishima
English were desirous of isolation
omluke while the verse talks about when
the Messiah is going to come when God is
going to have the full reign over the
world that's when the Jewish people are
going to finally do battle with a sub
and they're going to win
I mean instead of neckl - Bohr who
everybody Shalom people of Israel said
to God master of the world
matzo mission well I'm gonna be out of
how long do we have to be enslaved under
the hand of Esau oral ahem Igoe I say I
yeah I'm sure cuz oh boy until that time
comes the verse says da roca Miaka
become shaving means rel the star of
Jacob will rise up and the the staff of
Israel will rise up she ate Sikahema
yuck we serve kashish elesif there's a
point in time where the fire of Jacob
will come and we'll burn up the straw
evasive u19 Aaron's a versa is also
Nevada chapter 1 verse 18 Valhalla basic
ovations bcs of lava first the people of
israel as the house of jacob the house
of Joseph who will be like a fire and
they will burn up the the house of Esau
wreck of the ship Roku Oh a Shawnee my
Fiamma who seem I'm like Halle from his
Haim God says when at the time when I
caused my rulership to come into the
world and you see me clearly that is
when it's going to happen should never
have all emotion Marx young witch
Buddha's hearts of that the Jewish
people were finally able to battle the
people of Asaph and destroy them destroy
the physicality which the denies is the
opportunity to have a true relationship
with Hashem with God so it's an amazing
picture I think that we see here from
all of these Madras from one what the
you know the point the first point is
that there was something spiritual and
powerful that ace have had now was a
certain respect for his father that was
respect for his brother as well and that
was even there was even a possibility
that they could accompany each other in
this world but Yaakov says no you have
this world you have a deposit the world
as we know it has been ruled over and
continues to be ruled over until the
chef comes Thomas arrives by the West by
Asaph but we see that the power of the
West the power base of is slowly waning
it is getting limited it is it's coming
down the fire is burned
and the Jewish people are starting to
rise because we are coming into the
times of Messiah of the Messiah and we
see the promise here that ultimately the
Jewish people will be the ones who will
be the spiritual leaders of the world
when a Shems when Shem reveals himself
when it's the time forgot to be the king
so he will reign through the Jewish
people the Jewish people will be his
agents it was an amazing picture that we
see here it's also amazing I think that
we see that the the power of ASA where
does he get his power his power came
from the beginning because of his
keeping of Fame his this it was a
spiritual power that God gave to him and
the Jewish people cannot start up with
at the point when Moshe I mean is
walking into Israel it's a point where
it seems like perhaps this is the time
of Messiah no it's not you at the time
King David thinks that perhaps he is the
one who's going to be the Messiah he was
gonna to herald that the advent of that
age no it's not King David either the
time is waiting for us
somehow the Jewish people are standing
up in our present time and the time will
be soon when indeed we will be Zephyr to
man we will merit to see that the one
who destroyed the temple the one who
destroyed the spiritual worlds that
Yaakov that Jacob the people of Israel
have tried to build to build ultimately
he will be vanquished and the Jewish
people will rise up Naraku khomyakov
the star will come out from Jacob come
shave a nice row and it will rise the
staff of the leadership of the Jewish
people so I want to bless you and ask
you to bless me I should help us to
recognize that this is something that's
going to happen soon Hashem should help
us to be to be zakat a merit to see the
ultimate rising of the Jewish people
with the advent of Messiah nation'
reveals himself
