Ari Goldwag - Toldos - Clothes of Dominion

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded in ramat beit shemesh is real 5777 2016 this week's parsha is partial toldos I'd like to share with you a very interesting intriguing concept that smack in the middle of the story of Yaakov aveeno of Jacob as he is sent by his mother rifka Rebecca to steal the blessings that his father Yitzhak had planned to give to a sub so the verses tell us about riff cos actions now she directs Yaakov and how he takes her direction and there's a whole description of all these details very interesting detail smack in the middle which means understanding which seems to be just said agha of just by the way but it's not at all it's very essential to understand the entire story antara tells us in chapter 27 verse 15 Latika rifka is big day a sub n no haggle haha mundos besides forgiving Yaakov food to bring to you talk in order to calm down so should be able to give the blessings besides for covering his arms with a hairy goats skin she also did something else she took a sub special clothing the clothing of her of her oldest son that were hmoo days that were very special to him and these were special clothes as our causal tell us they were special clothes that were used by a sub whenever he would go into his father to serve his father he had a tremendous ability a tremendous neck but didn't keep it over aim for honoring his father and he would wear these special garments that were royal garments will see soon where they were from but these special garments she took and instead of a civ going in with the garments she put them on Yaakov aveeno Jacob wore these garments I share ii Tobias she had them in her house tablish is yaakov enoja cotton and she dressed her son jacob with these clothes and it's very interesting because as the verses continue we see that that Yitzhak as he's about to get the blessing he becomes suspicious he hears a voice it's it's similar it sounds like a sub but it doesn't sound exactly like a sub Jacobs voice as the rush mom says yet they had similar voices there were wins but nevertheless years needs to be convinced that it's his son and then when he reaches over besides for feeling the arms that are all hairy so he smells the smell of the clothing the special clothing of a sub and that's how he was able to tell in the end that it was indeed a sober so he thought so it was essential that he received these clothing was recently essential that he'd be wearing the clothing of a sub so that get so who is blind unable to see but he was able to smell so he used his sense of smell in order to smell the clothing and ultimately that was the defining factor the final factor that caused the its hook to be convinced that it was a seven to give him the blessings now what's extremely interesting is the magician it's the first point I want to share with you and there's a lot to talk about i don't know if i'm going to have time for everything but there's so much to say about these special clothing but in trying to understand we need to look at the measures we need to look at the circum we need to look at the Gomorrah is to talk about the clothing where did the clothing come from where'd a civ get dis clothing from what was special about this clothing so we have a mattress right here on this verse it says vatika califica as big a a sub n ah golaha moolies then Rebecca took the clothing of ASA for her oldest son the special clothing Marcia comment mean Imahara burnet ohlen since the mesh this clothing why was it called Camus days which means desirable because these clothing dis clothing was something that ace of desire to have from Nimrod Nimrod was a king who had these special clothing and the clothing went back all the way to autumn harish on this was the original clothing that Adam war when after he sinned I shun created for him special clothing customized or they referred to special clothing that were made for Adam in order to cover up his shame and we'll see what was special about these clothing but thought that was very clothing that a sub would wear when he came in two years ago via to Isaac now the message tells us a few interesting things about this clothing why did she have the clothing if this was a special garment that went back all the way to autumn harish on it was something that he had killed nim road in order to be able to acquire it what why would he leave it with his mother why would he leave it there he living in his own house so the measure says i share ii tava bias why was it with rifka chabot hannah i'ma show Mischa Sabbath it was because that was the clothing that he would wear whenever he came in to serve his father whenever he came in to do keyboard of so the question that jumps out immediately is why was it specifically this clothing these special garments which he stole from Nimrod he killed Nimrod in order to acquire why was it that he would wear this clothing when he went to serve his father what's the significance of that measures continues I'm assuming I'm leo rashmi Emilio says call you my how you see miss Aisha Sabah all of my days I would serve my father meaning he would come and he would honor his father but like she must do so ! a service of a very interesting I didn't serve my father so the Birmingham Leo was the gutter lador I insert my father one in a hundred of the way that a sub was serving his father I need a shower I used to Muhammad estaba at the time when I would sir my father says rashmi Miguel Neil so I would come in I you see Michelle she got him a lip-lock him I would come in with clothing that wasn't so clean necessarily be shy shy you see yo Derek when I would go out to the path any when I go out to do work or whatever it was I you see me I said begun and Hakeem I would go out with clothes that were clean meaning I didn't show the level of respect my father as much as a sub did asa was extremely careful the word hammoud noise as his explained by the portion can also mean clean as Rashi says he was careful to wear pristine clothing of a lace of measures to see more well they saw vishesh ohimesama Shahzad when ASA would come into service father la joya mash'ems I have a big day mouth was he would wear clothing that was was the clothing of a king kingly clothing Omar he said in cabo de la vallière's neshama sheli big day Malkis ASA said its proper for me to serve my father to come in to help him out only with clothing which is big day malko switches which is kingly clothing lado de la etapa bias that's how the verse says it was with her in the house why why didn't you leave it in zone house common Oshiomhole i oughtta mart i share ii Tobias he has his own wife his own homes so so how come he didn't leave them in his own home eleda have a Yoda my over day home he knew their actions he knew about his wives he knew that they were all day about a zara they serve the dollar tree they didn't have that same level of respect their net the same level of the ability to be able to protect these things he trusted his mother who was at sudeikis who was a righteous woman more than he trusted his own wives now the 8c oseph explains her and i want to read it inside is very interesting what was what was the mouth what was the kingship the kingly garments was kingly about them says the hco say hi know if Nisha bakaba goddamn hallelu mala autumn Harish and I'll call her brew him through the power of these garments other my reach in the first man Adam was able to rule over all of the creations vanilla all the fun of and they were all humbled before him cadiz to appear Coderre blosser like it says in / khodaro blosser the atos it continues veins at a lil loafie shahab ahem caduceus era how did this work how was it that the clothing was able to cause all of creation to become humbled and bow down as it were to autumn Irish on and thereby to anyone who would wear them they had an extra-special conditional holiness in them she never was shamed male they were created with the full name of God she never I ask Hashem le King uses two names of a shame and uses the name you'd cave of K alongside the name of Kim which denote Rock'em him mercy and divine justice they were created with both and therefore since they had both of these aspects so the effect was that whoever would see them whatever animals would see them as well soon see would sense that the one wearing these dis clothing these garments is someone who I need to subdue myself to wear mainland Nick lava hamburger Scala ilum and as a result so the blessings of all of the world were included in these garments these governments were essential Yaakov had to wear the mophie kotla rifka that's who Rebecca took pains la ha bishes ya kabita hammouda solo to make sure that jake would wear these special garments the shots baraha at the time of the blessing now let's explore this further Rashi tells us on his pasta he says what is the word haha moody's mean the first try the first understanding the simple understanding is hanneke ice they were clean guitar Gordo Chiasa like the uncles translates into Aramaic the house which means clean da var out her second explanation shammed I Simon Nimrod like we saw in the measures that these were closed that a sub had desired and had taken from Nimrod now the city I have come himself tells us an amazing thing and we'll soon see there's a Raschi in my second sacrament afternoon Dollard that also says the same idea parish says it's a second coming the explanation in Shaba got him how you behind serum very interesting on the clothing it there were there were images shall come in a highest of all different types of animals we shall love Sean name right now an emerald wear the clothing the yacht siyaasada and go out to the field how you were highest seven shu kiah uber nestle the animals would think that he himself was an animal like them and they would come to him the ace of Arrakis name of Allah Khan and a sub in order to be to be a good hunter if you can get the animals not to run away from you you'll be an amazing hunter right so in order to get this special garment so ASA killed Nimrod and he took them for himself that's a suit AHA common my safra she the regime in Sock'em duffin analysis like this the Gomorrah is talking about the fact there were a number of different things that were created on arab shabbos the first arab shabbos of creation the first friday of creation one of the things that it says there that was created then was big dish alauda mauritian the clothing the special cloak or garment of the first man what was special about this garment says Rashi there shall cookies by calming hio bahama on it was engraved or was etched all different types of animals who names I'll enumerate it was given to Nimrod alkane EMR can never give us a lead therefore the verse refers to numerous someone who was a great hunter now it's still not so clear exactly how it worked just because there were pictures of animals on this garment so therefore the animals would come they wouldn't realize what was going on what's the idea here so in order to understand it's a very deep idea it's very deep in order to understand i want to share with you Marshall also a nekkid mahram Sock'em on da feelin dollar on page 54 B the Marshall says like this an amazing thing first he says I ain't parish Rashi look at what rashi says and he says what's the understanding what is Rashi saying what is the idea here in Jana the concept is the concept of this clothing that has these pictures on it ki boots ko kya sofas 8 cyl Adam the idea of this clothing corresponds to something else that occurred in braces right after I Ganesha was created the Torah tells us that after he was created God said you know he's all alone I don't want him to be alone it's not proper but before the Torah tells us that Hashem creates a helpmate for him which is going to be hava right before that it says that Hashem brought him all the different animals in order that they should receive names other my recien was a Hawaii he was responsible for giving the names to all of the different animals says the Marcia that is connected to this the concept of him naming all the animals is connected to the special garment that he wore that had pictures of these animals on it so what was the idea of the naming of the animals what was the idea of the clothing that had the animals on it that when the animals would see it they would not be afraid of the whoever was wearing that garment what was the idea sister Marcia an amazing thing commercial Consulate's avishai Megara the verse says God commanded ko kya super clever all the animals came it's called i fashioned mine and all of the birds of the heavens valya voy al dumb lyrics mieka really and they were brought to adam to see what he would call them the verses tell us this what was the idea of kadisha Kovu shem tov tov the reason that this happened why did I shall bring all these animals to be named was so that they be subjugated to him Adam by giving them their names somehow within that statement within that ability so he showed the animals that they were subjugated to him that they were under his command under his control commercial costs are like the verse tells us who r aduba the gas i am god says to Adam that his responsibilities to be in charge of all the fish of the sea oh boy I fashion I am the birds of the heavens will Hulk I asada and all of the animals of the field so we see that part of the function of other variation of Adam is that he's in charge of the entire world of all the animals now what's this about what is the concept and how does it work in the other direction where the animals now trust so to speak whoever is going to be wearing these garments numeral uses it to now go and hunt animals because they trust him but what's what was the original intention it doesn't seem that that was original intention in fact Adam Irish on the first name was not permitted to eat animals so what does it mean that he used this garment in order to subjugate them or that he was naming them in order that they see that they were under his command and how does it relate back to us in regards to the blessings that Yaakov needed to receive it seems from we saw Nate CEO safe that somehow wearing this Garmin represented the fact that whoever would wear the government and receive the blessings would have dominion over all of creation over all of the world over all of the animals of the world what is the idea of that also extremely interesting and I believe it's very much connected in this blessing we see a very simple blessing that ye gives the Yaakov he thought he was giving it a civ but he ratifies the blessing afterwards but the blessing is a simple blessing that he should have all of the good things he should have para nós they should have wealth you should have prosperity she have all the things that he needs but when it comes to Yaakov in turn giving over the blessings to his children the very Hugh he was acting as a conduit to the blessings to give him to his kids what's interesting is that in a few different cases he refers to his children in the blessing itself in terms of animals he refers to yehuda as a guru Rea as a young lion cub he refers to Naftali as a deer who's who's swift-footed he refers to yo safe as a shore as an ox he refers to binyomin as a Zev as a wolf it's remarkable is very interesting that even in the names that we ourselves call our children my name is Ari which means a lion my son's name is moshe dovid weirdo means a bear my daughter's name at sea para she's a bird what's with all of these animal names what's the concept here what's the idea behind it and specifically why is yaakov incorporating animals into the blessings that he gives his children as one more essential point which we see in both in the story of Yaakov in taking the blessings and also in the story of autumn harish on when he gives the names to all of the animals it's very clear if you read the souk him and it's strange it's difficult to understand that when a xem decides is going to give other mauritian the first man a helpmate a wife to create kava he says I'm going to create it's not good that he's all alone I'm gonna give him a wife right in the middle of the story of him creating hava there's other mauritian naming all of the different animals what's the understanding of it it seems to be out of place is just to pursue him in the middle of Hava being created what's the idea why is it there also clearly related is the fact that immediately after yakima vino receives the blessings both you talkin rifka say to him it's time for you to get married it's time for you two to find your wife right after the blessings the verses tell us this yet so calls in Yaakov to him your firm's that he's received the blessings and the rightfully his and then he says them now it's time to go get married what's the idea what's the depth of what's being taught here where the tour is trying to show us so there's an amazing thing that we see here there's an amazing depth we focus on the essence of what's going on we can understand something very deep and that is that when Odin re shown when he gives a name to the different animals as the rabinovitch I speaks about at length it means that he understands the deepest depths of the essence of each animal he sees for example he was an example it'll be about how beautiful he says let's say for the animal the REA which is the lion so there are three letters in there that olives the unit and the hey those three letters are part of the names of a Shem all of his from the name akia which was summer first himself when he does go when he redeems the Jewish people the year and the hay are obviously part of a name you'd cave of K of God so and the race represents a different aspect aspect of Rua see the Rubino bhai he speaks about though the REA the net share the differ animals different depths of the concept of each of those animals and how other name them but when he names them the depth of it is that he understands their purpose here he understands that there for example the REA there infused godliness and infused with a certain spiritual spirit that's in them and it's meant to be used in the service of God the animals themselves are also supposed to take part and partake in serving God so when he gives him their names he shows that he knows their essence he knows their purpose and therefore they become subjugated to him they because they they're able to see who they are through Adam they're able to serve Hashem as it were through autumns recognition of who they are and if you look at the city of Hong Kong is so beautiful it's he says that whenever would go out wearing this garment the animals would think that he was that their who they were he they would see themselves when they saw him amazing thing the garment itself as the Marshall says the garment itself showed represented the fact that the animals could be identified they could see who they were when they when they went close to this garment they could see that this is who they were they were subjugated to other Maori shown for example they became subject my because now they knew what to do here and when someone shows you what to do you become their servant you're ready to do whatever they say because now you know what your purpose in life is and when we look at the blessings of Yaakov aveeno of Jacob it's very clear we still need to understand the blessing that gets knocked gave to Yakko to gave to Jacob cuz it's not as clear but it's very clear and the blessing that Yaakov gives to his sons that he's showing them who they are just like Adam gives names to the animals so they know who they are Yaakov gives names so to speak to the tribes to each of his sons and says this is who you are this is your spiritual call this is what you're meant to do in life this is what your tribe your children your grandchildren your offspring are meant to do with their existence this is the essence of who you are and the amazing thing is that just like with the animals they become subjugated to Adam because he's gonna tells them and owes them what their purpose is it's also true of us on a personal level if you would find its addict a righteous individual who would be able to tell you exactly what your purpose in life is you'll be able to intuitively know who you are and what you're meant to do in the world so you would you would be so excited to be lit up you would do whatever he says because you know that he gets you so now let's come back to yitz hug and a blessing that he gives the Yaakov the blessing that he gives is a more general blessing but the blessing that he gives is basically that the sheva of the world the influx that God wants to bring into the world of goodness of godliness of purpose of accomplishment that's going to come through somebody specific now who's it going to come through it has to come to somebody who's wearing the big day hmoo dos the person who's wearing the garment that shows that he knows how to direct all of the animals he knows how to direct all of the creations and show them who they are now a 7in road they're evil when they use that garment instead of using the garment to show the animals who they are they used the garmin in order to hunt the animals to trick the animals to get the animals to trust them and thereby take the life of those animals ace of war those garments every time he came into his father what's the chow what's the reason I was discussing this idea with my wife and she said a beautiful thought she said that whoever would look at the garment would see themselves see who they really were so in years club would look at Ace of wearing the garment he could see himself he could see his own self reflected in that Carmen so he saw a sub through the garment as somebody who was righteous as somebody who would use the garment correctly and someone who used the garment to guide other people to guide all of the creations to do what's right to properly direct the influx of godliness in the world that was the mistake of its hook he was fooled by the garment the Big D hammoud ice but Rifkin ooh-hoo a sub really was Rifkin knew that the one would be able to wear the garment and properly direct this flow of Braha of blessings in the world was only exclusively Yaqub Jacob was the righteous one he was the one who is going to have the offspring he was the one who's going to have the 12 shift they call the 12 tribes of the Jewish people and know how to take that general influx of blessing and direct it properly each person in his own special way that was why rifka made sure that he wore this garment he wore the garment that showed that he knew had identify the great character strengths of each individual he could see the purpose of each animal in truth and wouldn't abuse that for his own purposes like asaph did so she made sure that he wore that brought that to yitzhak so years hook would sense that when he smelled that garment he was able to tell that this was the person to give the blessings to the one who would appropriately distribute these blessings and now coming back to Adam Irish on why was it that in the middle of the story of him having children of him about to have a wife that he gives a name to all of the animals and I think it's exactly what we're saying here that before he could have children before he could bring more human beings into the world yet to prove yet to show to the world himself and even to God perhaps that he had the ability to direct the general influx the general goodness that he had that a shaman given him directly he could show how it would flow and how it would come down and be distinguished into each and every creation that Hashem had made once he could see it in each of the animals he would be able to see it in his children he be able to guide them he'd be able to give them the blessings and showed them their distinct purpose in life and Yaakov avena was the same once he had received these blessings once he had worn the big day hammouda is those special garments now was the time for him to go and get married it was a time for him to begin the Jewish people because he would be able to lead them and guide them and show each one their place in the service of a Shem now I want to bless you and please bless me back a Shem should help us that we should be able to recognize each of our individual special distinct unique qualities that a Shem wants us to manifest in the world Shem should help us to find to seek and to find those who can help us understand what we're here to do I xem should help us to be able to receive those blessings and to be able to manifest those blessings in our own personal lives and the lives of our children
