Lech Lecha - Bitachon-Trust in Hashem
765 views
What is the purpose of the blessings that Hashem promises Avraham - are they just to replace what he loses by following Hashem's command to travel? If Hashem did not specify where Avraham was to go to, how did he know to set out toward the Land of Canaan? What do we learn from Avraham leaving the land of Nimrod and his later encounter with him again? Why was Avraham adamant not to allow the king of Sodom to say that he made Avraham rich? What is the spiritual principle at work when we run after results and the results 'run away from us?' Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with REO - I recorded with
oceans never-ending assistance in Roma
emission is real 5780 2019 this
week's part shows partial o'clock oh and
I would like to share with you some
thoughts actually from my Russia Shiva
rabbi pear and I'd like to share with
you some thoughts of my own
based on our parsha author movie no
Paragon usually think of as the paragon
of cast said but which means kindness
but what I'd like to show actually this
week the shams help is that he was a
paragon of betta home of having absolute
faith and Hashem that all that he had
all he would have was ultimately from
God
okay so at the very beginning of our
parsha like to read to a few silken
Valmer Hashem al-haram God says to
Abraham left likami article go away from
your place where away from your land
room a lot italy base of e for the place
you were born your house your father's
house art so shereika
go to the land and i'm going to show you
it's called a good cuddle and i'm making
it to a great nation valve our africa a
godless America via Baraka I'm going to
make you great I'm gonna make your name
grade you're gonna become famous and
there will be blessings okay those are
the tube silken now what is the idea
here so I'm gonna read to you from my
Russia Shiva have a little pamphlet here
from a few years ago
rabbi pear vibrato means eshelov of
Venus actually points out when pear
points out that Avril Lavigne who leaves
everything behind and the Pacific tells
us as a result of that he's going to
have blessings cassava Rashi Rashi says
we asked our legato the V Shahdara glare
Emma / Lucia the Forum says Rashi very
interestingly
going on a path traveling causes three
things well I had this preview Arabia
causes a person to be less likely to
have children
Maya this is a moment it ordinarily
causes a person to have less money but
this is a shame it makes a person less
famous the kaku's couple of Schiller's
brothers hallelu shifty canola bottom
bottom Amidala Shem that's why I need
three blessings in this verse one is to
tell him that he's going to have
children
as a result of going to hurt zero
seconds is going to have money as a
result of going there's Israel and third
of all he's going to have he's gonna
become famous so yes this was bad Tamura
hi amber Kosovo Iraq Amala Smasher cost
early a lead any co-stars canal yes an
amazing question he says that what's the
point of the blessings is the point of
the blessings just now the fact is that
he's going on this on the path and he's
gonna have less kids he's gonna have
less money is gonna have less fame so
don't worry you'll get it get it back
you'll get back what you're missing is
that what the blessing is about the
blessing is about just getting back what
he's missing but they can't be they
can't be it sounds like the blessing is
it's a blessing that's gonna be much
greater boy additionally much like oil
is era yes an amazing question the
second question he says the fact that
our movie who didn't have children what
was the reason it wasn't because shallow
it wasn't because he was about to travel
shallow high yellows era know how you
know my concealers drop him sorry it
wasn't because of the fact that he was
traveling I'll show you from this surah
Carly doesn't Avram and saw Abraham and
Sarah were unable to have children that
was their nature and they were they were
[Music]
unable to have kids
it's a cleric on shameless Arab issue
immutable closer so how can we say that
since is gonna be a mute is gonna be a
lessening of their ability to have
children as result of going going on the
path following God's Word through that
you're gonna be blessed and you're gonna
have children either the Canada can
what's going on here so it says an
amazing thing listen to this Munir the
first Avada you say the Isetta soo-ji
yesh lately autumn coma should sort of
came in my mind a bizarre wish my a
person this is a foundational concept
every single person has all that he
needs when it comes to his wealth his
money when it comes to his children when
it comes to his level of Fame when maila
EF shall hasten resumed army none about
a ludic far yesh like echo a person it's
predetermined Hashem has already decided
each and every person how much fame
they're gonna have how much wealth
they're gonna have everything is to turn
back kodesh more clue
via Sheila Hisle a lnk Averell of matzo
shall mats of shell kiss Erin Murray
Shiva says an amazing thing the only way
to change it the only way to change what
a person has to upgrade to a higher
level is by actually going into a place
that looks like the opposite it's
counterintuitive you go through some
kind of trial some kind of tribulation
some kind of difficulty you go on a
place where it seems less likely that
you're gonna have children less likely
that you're gonna have wealth less
likely that you're gonna have fame does
agami like a shrine knowing beautiful
thing by the way when I college one who
is going to to fill it up you know like
your York Lee is now empty your your cup
is now empty now because you don't have
there when a sham pours in that new
measure of goodness of wealth of
children etc you call a high level of
gamma psycho so this is an amazing
spiritual dynamic that occurs now that
it's being refilled your cup is being
refilled it can get to a higher level
than it was before the Zetas varlam or
Shiva says that's the nature of the
world
that's how colors work who built the
brihat he built the creation so Aravena
was instructed to do something which
seemed like he would lose out on but
rather instead of him losing out he
merited to reach a higher level as a
result
Mariah Lisette Marcia Shiva says my pair
says we can Xia's you read us it shall
have Raveena let's rhyme when Abraham
goes down to Egypt what happens why did
he go down there the violet Lord I'd
show you a master of his own life
emeritus rel it was because of the fact
that Avril Lavigne who didn't have
anything to eat in the Land of Israel
right what happens she lucky man welcome
she's welcome it has to be that way
because there was no the reason that he
would leave you wouldn't leave the place
a shaman told me you have to go to this
place there it's Israel let me try and
look who I see study the history of
Sagada what happened they took his wife
that's an even greater loss right it's a
tremendous trial that he went through
we'll be safer turmeric will mr. Paris
before at he likes a Nabokov a
commercial office of a sinus goo Mallon
the result of them taking his wife was
what the result of that lost that
seemingly that scene
the terrible thing that occurred team
what was the result the result was that
he ended up rich and got wealth Gaddafi
a kadai the fire someone should
reclusive boil it if it's running this
is to teach us an amazing lesson that
where do the blessings come the
blessings come because of the fact that
we have a loss whenever we see that
there's a loss whenever we see something
has gone wrong
whenever we see that something is going
not our way there not the way that we
want it to go we should wait we gotta
wait expect something good is going to
happen afterwards whenever we have
something I could lose my cool so to
speak gives us a patch Shawn gives us a
negative experience it's always followed
you can look back in your life you'll
see it's always followed by a positive
thing a blessing comes into it this is
s-seem on the bottom of the sea swirl
the ash layer autumn cohosh it sorry
this is a sign for us for the children
the truth the people of Israel we need
to know avril lavigne oh just like it
was true for him we also need to know
that a person has everything that they
need and cluster line as om sai lebryk
acai ball of lawsuit a person is missing
something this is the way that our
college one who brings him a future
blessing amazing thing ok so I want to
bring out from here is to you say this
we're gonna see there's more here but
this side foundational concept this is
to strengthen our be talkin we need to
know this how do we know that we can
have faith in God because we know that
there are certain spiritual rules built
into the Brio built into creation one of
them is everything that we're supposed
to have we have that's number one number
two is whenever something negative
occurs whenever it seems that we're
losing we're not losing we're about to
gain ok be talking the ation elesif he
says another thing an amazing thing
waiting out hair but cv Shelikof amazing
thing he says like this that when a Shem
said Tim let click all your colors were
formerly little FSL hearts of Chaka Lord
Pearson welcome Hashem says to avril
lavigne
go to the place I'm gonna show you he
doesn't say where to go it doesn't
specify with the places the place I'm
gonna show you my fall Peking cost of a
puss ik the puss a cave I ate to the
LucasArts canine the verse tells I said
where did they go where do they leave to
they left towards the land
Kanaan Land of Israel have they know if
the other Avram look having that smile
or some welcome you sir me Shaka how did
he know that that was the place to go to
any any more than any other place in the
world
Shem says the place I'm gonna show you
could be anywhere and you're the fire
age but Russia Shiva says that it would
seem like this show might seem safe
precious laughs we find that it says at
the end of archers nock
mieka tarik has Avram benign a slight
Bend Horan been burning and then the
last week's partial took him before what
we just read it says that Tara IRAs
father took Avram and lote Pembina
s-sorry colossi ashes are annoying took
his daughter-in-law i ate sweet on me or
cousin Lucas our second and there was a
plan tariffs had already decided that he
was heading towards Arras cannot for
whatever reason well what about karma
issue some they didn't reach their
destination they stopped in Horan and
they stayed there okay
what's the idea I'm a force so we see
explicitly shimmy Crichton let's see
Vishal o'clock on how your arm Aveeno
higher cleric anonomys it's even a sake
of a harem we see explicitly then
originally the plan was to go taraskin
an ROV no had been on the road to the
Land of Israel
he stopped whatever reason it can in in
Horan he was got stuck there
musicians Tov our mother left us with a
protocol is roughly is a mahkum so
Hashem says to him now I want you to go
when he doesn't say we're to go Bovada
rats nebari who shall I say Direction
York Varnum Cebu it must be that he was
to continue on the path that he was
already found la Haine y8 silica starts
looking on why did he continue to cannot
because my son doesn't specify it must
be wherever I was already the trajectory
I was already on that's where I should
continue this Zen limitless row says
rabbi pair an amazing teaching for us
this is a teaching for the people of
Israel Adair's for all generations
Kassadin in some part is dramatic Ioffe
when a person is at a crossroads in his
life many they are Marcia show me man
he's not sure what does Hashem expect of
him once God want me to do what am I to
do at this point I feel confused I feel
lost I feel
I feel stuck I feel stuck in Karan Johar
chicawa docile Iceland actually all of
the person is obligated to continue on
the path that he had been going until
now my right side is work with the
Baraka I am a da Hashem gives people
signs he gives us direction throughout
our life exactly where to go if you're
not sure there's no sign keep going in
the direction that you were going until
now unless of course it's something
which is a negative direction that's not
what we're speaking about but if a
person is unsure you can look in the
past you can say okay what has got me
here and what has got me until here what
successful things that I do in my sin my
brokenness my spirituality in my going
through this world how do I continue I
continue in the trajectory that I was on
until now okay and he has one report I'm
not gonna read it inside just mention it
was very interesting as well and that is
that Nimrod the reason he says perhaps
the reason you offers us a possibility
of the reason that Erica left why did
they leave war costume why are they head
to her skin on originally the reason was
he says because Nero is trying to kill
Avram of you know he's trying to kill
Abraham they had to run away the point
of it
the reason excuse me why Terah took his
son Avram etc to run away why it was
because to get away from Nimrod
interesting you what happened in the end
because I'll tell us that we know in the
later in our parishes we're gonna
actually see something there as well
later in our parishes so there's a war
between the four kings and the five
kings and one of those kings was Nimrod
meaning Aram and Nero were to meet up
again so the idea here is Samara Sheba
that if a person is meant to be in the
proximity of certain people certain
enemies certain situations person can
try to run away from those situations
but those situations may run after him
if that's the will of Hashem okay so we
have another two points here when it
comes to be talking when it comes to
trusting a Shem the first point is that
we have to believe we have to know that
a college vocal gives us signs along the
way Howard to go what is our path where
are we supposed to be headed
and we can be assured if we are not sure
if we don't have a new sign continue in
the way that we've always been going
rest assured that we're going in the
right way
so that's the third point the fourth
point is every single thing that occurs
in our lives
this is connected to one of the first
points every single thing that happens
in our lives all of the interactions
that we have all the people that we come
into contact with it's all predetermined
so I could have spoiled who sets it up
everything is there
of course everything is for our best
everything comes from my kodesh brothel
okay so those points three and four now
I'd like to say one more point which is
very interesting this is my own thought
it came out of actually reading piece
and sequels muster from Levites but has
nothing to do with what he says but this
is just the inspiring thought that I had
so we had the war of the four kings and
the five kings IRA may be no goes out to
war he's able to save his nephew lote
brings back all the people of Sudan he
has amazing meeting
Rumaki said that many more say just say
was Shem and he means the king of Saddam
and now the rules of war are very simple
very clear if you win you win right if
you win the war you get all the spoils
of the war you get all the people they
become your slaves value mmm else to
them this isn't chapter 14 verse 21 buy
your milk to them in a harem the king of
Saddam comes out to Abraham and he says
tell me I never shook ooshka clock he
has a lot of hutzpah he says give me the
people you keep all the spoils right I
remember you know had rights to
everything however everyone else is
doing
Iren says something very important to
the king of Saddam hurry my co d Elish M
K Lillian I raised up my hand to a Shem
the highest God he makes an oath he
swears coalition of orit's in me hoot
bats Rick now God - I'm making an oath
said Abraham to God the highest God who
owns the heavens and the earth to whom
belong the heavens any earth in the hood
not certain I love him Jack McCullough
is I'm not gonna take anything
not not a shoelace not a leather strap
for much from a from a from a shoe not
gonna take anything that you
is yours well it's not I'm adding in
that word if I will take anything that's
yours with life samurai near chartiers
Avram I don't want you to say that you
made me rich okay so very interesting
very interesting thing that everybody
knew says we do find in the parsha that
Avram of you know has no problem taking
stuff from from it's from from the
Egyptians I guess they weren't gonna say
that they made him rich what does he
care so much about the Melek Saddam was
he cares so much if the king of Saddam
says oh everything that Abraham has is
mine what's the big deal so on the
surface of it our living who doesn't
want to kill a sham doesn't want anyone
to say something that's not sure he
wants it to be very clear I could
schmooze or visit him he doesn't want
there to be any statements by anybody
else to the contrary but I want to see
something else I want to see something
different which may not be the push-ups
on the cooking but certainly is a lesson
for me and I hope that it inspires you
as well and that is that we need to be
careful with our be talking we want to
have you talking we want have faith in
Hashem we want to believe to the extent
that we believe it truly down to our
core then a Kurdish for who everything
that we get is from a Shem everything
that we get is nothing to do with my Chi
TV I tend not to do with my strength
with my business acumen with my proper
PR with my efforts and all the business
knowledge and all of the people that I
learn from in all the magazines that I
read nothing to do with that I'm
successful if I'm successful for one
reason and if I'm not successful it's
for the same reason because a college
boy who decided I'm supposed to have a
certain amount of money this year that's
how much I get no matter how much I bang
my head no matter how much I try no
matter what I do or matter how little I
do
it's from Michael Schwerner who I have
to believe that I have to believe that
fully but some myths what's called the
myths we'll be talkin there's an
obligation don't think correctly SMU
also leaves colors that you're in
trouble if you start to think that run
away from that kind of thinking you
gotta watch out for that kind of
thinking and you kind of watch out for
people who talk that way as well don't
read those magazines that talk about the
all of the different experts in business
who say how they were able to accomplish
and become rich don't read it you know
why cuz it has a bad effect on you
has a bad effect on me am i be talkin
when I hear people talking about
continued smelly that this is how they
became successful and not true that's
not how they became successful nigs are
from a culture Sparkle on Rosh Hashanah
they're gonna have a certain amount of
money that's how they became successful
that's why nothing to do with their
efforts nothing to do with anything that
they did it's not true it's a lie it's a
checker of the gate Sahara watch out for
it
Iver Medina says I don't want you to say
the king of stone that you made me rich
there's only one being in creation that
can make me rich that's how could this
work who the creator himself if I hear
you saying that you made me rich I might
start to believe that that's a no-no
watch out for that that's point number
five point number six this isn't a in
dark a be talking I just learned this
today I wanted to share with you as well
it's another point where it's connected
here v zilla acre I'm reading from dark
can we talk on my drag is out in the
after of navarre deck Rosella it could
be there could be talking a Sharada
moukaku she like lot certs are a smoker
says the altar of Navarre I need to be
so careful not to be worried about
tomorrow don't fall into that trap don't
fall into the trap of thinking that
that's my hair stylist is doing it for
me don't fall into the trap of thinking
that I can get away from what I'm
supposed to have or what I'm not
supposed to have don't think that way
don't think about tomorrow
Kimmi a degree of a Koosh see bow Mill
Valley our vehicle DFC if a person is
trying to figure out how can I make more
money how can I be rich how can I be
more successful how can I not only won't
you succeeds as the alternative arc not
only won't you get rich you will lose
out keep big Lollis even there's a
spiritual principle or the Archaea
kasama Lukesh there's a spiritual
principle if you run after something it
runs away from you Kukoc Temodar this is
the nature of the spiritual nature of
reality
Shammi charade of Arecibo Siva Barajas
women when you run after a certain I'm
gonna do that thing if I do that really
well if I do really hard I'm gonna make
money I'm gonna be rich the more you run
after something the more it runs away
from you okay before about grisel this
is explicit The Grudge says it I go to
Nevada well you owe me Vilna in heaven
Schliemann Pyrrhic base section you'd
kick come on call Mahalo go do lago de
barajas new menu there's a concept that
if I run after greatness if I run after
honor it runs away from me
kala Bhairava me naga doula Kaduna
huzzah her off and if I run away from
greatness
it runs after me Kay McCallum either
it's true about every single measure but
every single character traits who behave
oddly inhabit our home specifically in
regards to be Tahoe it's true if I'm
running after certain things I'm losing
my beat Oakland IV I'm giving over to
the spiritual principle then the thing
that I'm trying to get runs away from me
I have experienced this many times in my
life it's a fact
I remember I don't know if I've ever
mentioned it here but I asked once more
- David great singer how he became so
famous how he became so successful he
said it's nothing that I did I was at
least likely to succeed of all of my
brothers I called Asheboro who chose me
who gave me a gift and this is true
Kamiya Shanice I made a little about you
dare question is my beat off my shame is
marching with Atmos if you are truly
looking to understand how to have beat
Ockham says the author of Navarra you
will see from your experience that the
more you try to run after a Seba after a
particular thing that you think is gonna
make you the money that you think is
gonna give you your needs it runs away
from you okay
so we have six points here I think all
together and I want to bless you and I
ask you to bless me the schmuck who
should help us and we should recognize
that everything is from him
that if we're supposed to be blessed we
will be blessed if things that are going
on in our life are negative or seem
negative it's cause we're cool opening
up to give us more blessings because
Rahu should help us to realize that no
matter no matter where we are no matter
where we're going he's guiding us and if
we're not sure where to go I coach bro
who should help us to recognize where we
should go continue on the trajectory
we've been on until now cuz all the
shops to recognize that no matter what
the situations in our lives are tailor
picked for us because poco should help
us recognize and realize that there are
things that can prevent us from having
be talkin and should help us to run away
from those things not get fooled or
sucked into those things and the Kurdish
worker should help us to recognize that
it's only upon him that we need to rely
and upon nobody else thank you so much
