Vayechi - Shema Yisrael
593 views
What is represented by the fact that Yakov is unable to reveal the End Times to his children? Why do they respond by saying 'Shema Yisrael?' Why does the Gemara Berachos begin with the concept of saying Shema? Why specifically does the Torah speak first of saying Shema at night? What is the idea behind the 'roaring' of Hashem in the night, when He laments the exile of his children? How does Shema rectify this? What is the difference between Hashem's lament in the night time as opposed to what He says when the Jewish people gather in synagogues and study halls to praise Him? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

you listening to the weekly parsha
podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded with
a Shems never-ending assistance in Ramat
ahjumma she was real 5780 2020 this
week's Barcia is purchased by Fe and in
our parsha Yakko Aveeno is about to pass
on from the world and he wants to give a
blessing to his children so he calls
them together and he says to them
gathered together o children well you
could've L Bunner this isn't chapter 49
verse 1 Yakov calls to his sons by
Yamaha so I get off camera socially
crass coming after so young gathered
together and I'm gonna tell you what's
gonna happen in the end of days he comes
to Vashon mu Binayak i've gathered
together and hero sons of Yaakov is
shimu elias relevee come listen to your
to your father
you throw so we all know it's a famous
Rashi that Yaakov Avena wanted to be
makalah decades he wanted to tell when
or what the Messiah who looked like what
the period of time would look like right
before the Messiah arrives and there's
actually differences of opinion in the
meddra SH whether he was able to reveal
that to them so we know Rashi Rashi
tells us that he was unable to reveal it
but there are other opinions that say
actually he was able to reveal certain
aspects of the Cates of the end so but
what I'd like to focus on is the schita
that says that he wasn't able to and
it's something very interesting and also
pretty famous but it's very much
connected to the beginning of shots
Jewish people throughout the world have
been excited last two weeks celebrating
see my shots completion of seven and a
half years of work one dollar day and so
we start again with my suckas brokers
and at the beginning of my surface
broca's we talk about Kriya Shama we
talk about the Mitzvah of saying shema
yisrael hashem elokenu hashem i thought
hear o israel Shamar goddamn is one
which we say twice a day there's an
obligation in the evening when we go to
sleep becau become alcohol when we get
up in the morning and it's very
interesting that our parsha of course
divinely orchestrated that it would work
out this way but our parsha has a very
special connection to Shama to the idea
of sanction ma what's that connection so
here's a Madras
and I just says like this one in the
plastic that we quoted we mentioned with
shimmer Lu la vie femme so the major she
says to me Justin come on
I have it here quoted on the side in in
the regular measure from you dame my
face is like this baton kuma isa susan
atomic uma pique shigellosis arcades
Yakko Vivino as we said wanted to reveal
the end when mashiac is gonna come
Vaness tom it was close from him he was
an unable to say it he was unable to
reveal it Allah who or Armel ahem so he
said to his son's shemish Suba Mita see
he said maybe there's something wrong
with my kids meter see it means
literally my bed but it's referring to
the kids that are a result relations
that happen in bed maybe there is some
kind of soul maybe there's something
missing in my kids me odd so the kids
all responded the SWAT team responded
possibly arm of Shema Israel so from
here immediately I'm sorry they
responded and said hear o israel hashem
elokenu hashem our God Hashem is one
right don't worry there's no idolatry
there's no belief in any idea any
concept of any more than one god there's
only one God absolutely
unified only one and there's no there's
nothing to worry about
okay that's the magic and the magic
shear in the magistrata also mentions
that this is what we do hada who she's
from a schema Neil McCauley Irish mice
well this is what we do every single day
we say shamaya Sorrell we say in the
morning we said in the evening and just
think me the Midrash says out of order
because the says a Shopaholic
America as a c'mon brother says on the
base so we have here very interesting
very interesting
Meldrick the needs explanation we need
to understand the idea the what is the
idea that Yaakov Aveeno wants to reveal
to them the Cates he wants to reveal to
them
he's not able to he's not able to reveal
what is that what is represented by gula
what is represented by the Cates hiya
mom was represented is kadesha bar whose
absolute kingship in the world his knees
his gallows his revelation in the world
we live in a time where we don't see a
Shem it's very hard to see God we don't
live in a time where our open miracles
we don't live in a time where guy openly
reveals himself rather we're in a time
of darkness we spoke about that last
week the Jewish people here are going
into gullies and as they go into gullies
Yaakov wants to remind don't worry
there's gonna be a there's gonna be an
end a positive end but he's unable to
reveal that then tomorrow somehow even
though we can't see the gulab even
though he can't see how Sean's
revelations somehow we see from this
measures the measures is teaching us
that shamash Rosh Hashanah Nokia Asha
MacLeod has the power to repeal the
darkness - despite the fact that we're
in the darkness to reveal that Hashem is
there sure - well okay no I shall call
it here o Israel listen sometimes you
can't see it but you gotta listen you
got to put the pieces together every
time when we see a picture so we see the
whole picture we see all the pieces at
once when we hear a sentence when we
hear someone speaking we hear a song so
all the notes come together at the end
you hear one note after another note all
the words come together you hear one
word after another word now they all
come together at the end and the puzzle
becomes becomes clear but it's not
something you see all at once you have
to listen carefully you have to hear all
the pieces and then all the pieces come
together
Shema Israel that's the attitude that we
need to have in this gullu's in the
Exile we don't yet have the revelation
so with that we need to understand I
still want to understand deeply what is
the idea of shimau how does it what's
the what's going on what's the what's
the concept how does it work how does it
help us there's a good Martin brought
his son that Gamal I want to share with
you good morning off Gamal
tells us the Gemara is talking about one
we say Shima we're speaking specifically
at night when do we say SH mom a Masai
Karishma by our oven the Gemara
breakfast starts off when do we say
Krishna at night so so much like us is
that to be the first part of the night
there's it all night long is it all
until hot sauce until midnight when is a
person able to say Shima the Gemara
speaks about the fact that the the night
is actually split up into three parts
show lachemann Maurice the three parts
now what's the significance of these
three parts so listen to this Gamora I'm
Ravi suck bar Shmuel mish may derive the
use of our Schmo says in the name of
ruff
Sushma shmore is javi halala the night
is split up into three parts the alchemy
shmear Amishman
yeshiva coach Mark Boucher re Hashem
sits each one of these memories at each
and during these three Mars it's not
clear exactly at which point in the mesh
more and at which point in the time
period but Hashem sits as it were and he
and he roars like a lion his shia re
sorry lost the place here we go but I
mer ela bottom chef on a Sam reivew
crafty as Basie the serratus a Kali woe
unto my children that because of their
sins because of their sins I had to
destroy maybe some English I had to burn
the Haeckel the Gleason Lebanon with
Salem and I had to spread them out
amongst the nations of the world okay
it's very interesting it seems to me
that shimma is somehow coming to rectify
again and it's just like in the story of
Yaakov of you know schima is going to
rectify the fact that I could have broke
who sent this aventure goes in the
darkness we're in this dark time we need
to say shame at night why does somehow
rectify the fact that because of our
sins we were sent out into God's the
base of ministry was destroyed God is
not openly apparent in the world we
don't see that he's there so clearly we
have to really look carefully in order
to find him okay
that's the first piece that I want to
share with you
now I want to show you another piece
which is a story tonyamarie AC relay C
says panna cotta you see Mahalo tweed
Erica this this story took place after
the destruction of the temple when there
was still a Jewish presence in there
it's the surrounding land of Israel and
Jerusalem I'm talking two thousand years
ago JC says I was once walking on the
path mean if nasty Lahore Vikas and
commercial I'm I walked into one of the
destroyed places of Jerusalem he walked
into an old destroyed house lease pal I
wanted to pray there Berlioz up relative
with shimmer Lila Pesa Elijah the
Prophet came Leo we know he never died
he went up it's all right LeSean mama he
went up to the heavens alive and their
countless stories Elijah the Prophet
appears to people till this very day so
what happened to him
Elijah the Prophet stood outside of the
house where he was domine where he's
praying
I just he hunted till us until I
finished my prayer like I should see out
the tulasi when I finished I rarely show
them enough Arab you said to me how are
you doing you said to him he said there
be I see Shawn like shamanic Arabian
Mary I set him back sure my life him I'm
really be Nemeth named manic NASA dr.
Basu
so he said to me my son why did you go
into this destroyed house it's dangerous
my dealer they spell out the walls could
fall who knows marty'll alias Paulo Lee
said I could went in there to pray I'm
running holla holla Safavid there if he
said I should you should have davon
on the road you shouldn't have dive and
inside of a dangerous house for Marty
let me see area EC show me up see could
be every drop him he said I was afraid
raised he said I was afraid that if I
stand on the honor on the road so people
will pass by people won't see me maybe
they'll knock me over or maybe they'll
I'm praying they'll cause me to lose my
concentration
well I'm really how do you look Harley
spot really good sorrow so he said to me
you should have diving a quick prayer
instead of dominating a long prayer
instead of putting yourself in danger
walking into the
into the house that's falling apart you
should have it on the road and daven
short so there wouldn't be a chance to
be distracted vices Charlemont team
initiative or him scissor BAC I learned
from him from a Leo and avi three things
Jaina class on the Kaurava first of all
it's not permitted to go into a
broken-down house
the Monte wish miss Val Madera can I
learned that you can pray on the path on
the road Lamont esurance Bob my dad was
powerfully kisara and I learned that if
you pray on the road you should you
should pray a short prayer now listen to
the ham shock of the story because this
is the part that's extremely interesting
and needs explanation I'm really beanie
makishima topic or bozo said to me what
did you hear
Leo and avi says it's terribie I see
what did you hear did you hear a sound
did you hear a voice you hear somebody
talking when you were inside of that
destroyed house I Martha marty letitia
Matty Bosco and he said I did hear
something I heard a heavenly voice
Shimon Ahimaaz keyonna
it was cooing like a like a like a dove
like a pigeon very Maris and I'm saying
I Lila but I Lebon I'm Johannes am at
karate as Basie mr. rathia said Kali the
same exact thing that we said that a
cosmic who says every night every night
three times a night so Rebbe I see you
heard a voice he heard it explicitly
saying woe unto my children that because
of their sins I destroy my base I'm
English my temple and I burned my hey
colleague Lisa in the main room boys and
I sent them out into exile amongst the
nation's well rightly so Leo and I'll be
responded to by a scene he said oh yeah
comic Irish girl I swear to you let's
zoom about America not only did does the
voice go out at this time
Ella ba Kalyani I'm Xiao chuan Amin that
voice is heard three times a day every
single day I'm Erika it says it says
exactly the same thing realizable vaad
listen carefully not only that elevation
she's on the cosna body kinases lobotomy
to our choice when the Jewish people
when they come into the to the synagogue
when they come into the place of study
of Torah vianden yehey sh'mey I call
them Evora and they say may God's name
be blessed may God's great name be
blessed and we say every single day in
the bay in the in the base measure in
the basic an SS CH may Robin of wroclaw
a normal male my yo may God's name be
blessed when we do that an amazing thing
happens I could have our home in a
narrow strip you're a mare now listen to
what a sham says in this circumstance
sham nods his head and he says as it
were Kitty awful ashram LF she Mikasa
nice every basic hawk praises the king
who they who they praise inside of the
house in his house in such a way and
then a sham says my little of Ziegler's
one of why is why did why did I have to
do it why does a father had to send his
children away to exile only on the
bottom showgirl Americana vm and woe
unto the children who have gone into
exile and there they're no longer at the
table of their father
amazingamazing Gomorrah amazing story so
Leo Navi tells us Elijah the Prophet
tells us that there's two different
statements that are Kaddish for whom
AIDS makes let's look at them carefully
let's contrast them it's very
interesting when it comes to the night
time when it comes to creation mom when
it comes to be a sea diving in Ahuva and
you're in a place of destruction so a
Shem says woe woe unto the children
because of their sins they were sent out
into exile but when it comes to a basic
Nasus when the concept synagogue which
in a certain sense is a place of Google
as well soon see it's a place of
redemption it's a place where the Jewish
people are we have that we don't have
the base some English but we have the
basic necessities in agog which is a
mini base a big gush it's a place where
we service Shem we have a base measures
where we learn the Taira when we learn
the Taira let me see I color sparkly I
see them every single time we make a
scene so we say a special Kaddish which
speaks about the base image being
rebuilt because
we time that we learned Tyra there's an
aspect of gula that's intrinsic that's
going on there excuse me what what is
that color smoke who say there Shem says
he nods his head and says praise worthy
is the king that they're praising him in
this way and he doesn't blame it on the
sins of the Jewish people that they've
gone out into exile
he says moly lab chez glaze but if he
just says oh why does the father have to
send his children into exile oh woe unto
the children that they're not by their
fathers table so it's an amazing thing
when it comes to the Haitian a rabbi
maverick when we say when praise of
shams name in the in the shul when we're
involved in learning Tyra so then I cut
the schmuck who doesn't talk about our
sins but when it comes to the when it
comes to the times of darkness when it
comes to the nighttime when it comes to
creation yes Krishna we need to say it
in order to miss suck in this issue need
to rectify the problem what's the
problem the problem is that because of
our sins we went on it's Angola's we
went into exile because of the darkness
we can't see our Kodesh borhu now so
here in the Exile we need to say we need
to say Seamus relish MLK National Guard
so we see that there are two ways of
rectifying it and they have these served
two different purposes
shema yisrael is in the night time
really sure my spell isn't in the
darkness when we don't see our code of
sparkle yes we said in a day also but
the IKAR time is in the night boishakh
makka pakka makka in the nighttime it's
the first time right the first aspect is
always the main aspect shahe of Okuma
huh when was the goal of mitzraim the
main goal always in the daytime right so
the Gullah would speak about as an
aspect of daytime the the Exile agasi
speak about as an aspect of nighttime
how do we rectify the ghost by reminding
us of chemise real listen look out look
out for the fact that a college bar who
is there he is he's helping us it's not
so easy to see as we spoke about last
week something we need to work on we
need to put all the pieces together
shamil here are the words here one word
and another word in another word put the
pieces together we're in darkness
Yakub Vivino is in darkness he's at the
end of his life he's about to pass on
from the world he can't remember when is
Moschino come he wanted to tell his kids
when it's gonna be can't remember they
say to him don't worry don't worry even
if it's dark and you don't know when the
Google is we don't know when the
redemption is Shema he's full of
okay now show me hug
we're gonna put the pieces together
that's the Emunah that's the aspect of
emunah of faith
mm ooh nos cabal alias we have faith in
the nighttime right Lahaie get Bob bug
Gurkhas letter we speak about shams
kindness in the morning that's the
redemption that's the mihrab remover up
his name is amazing his name is great
that's just an open statement Russians
greatness that's in a day time that's in
the bottom edge we're learning the Taira
where we see hashem we see a sham right
here in the Gemara this is where we see
a coalition burro who we see a caller
who being revealed to us through through
his tyra through through stories like
this through the amazingly modem that we
have in a Gomorrah and the Tyra and the
magician in in the Hamish in the base
Haqqanis is where we where we gather
together and we pray awesome all
together that's the light that's the
that's an aspect of redemption and Erica
this probably doesn't speak about our
sins at all right in the base magician
when we when we have the Taira make a
Kaddish miraba navara we speak about the
fact that a coda schmuck who in a sense
is openly revealed here in the darkness
in the nighttime we need to work on the
aspect of shema yisrael hashem elokenu
hashem echad and we need to listen and
hear we don't see it's not clear it's
not clear and i and i was thinking you
know the the shots begins the the
gomorrha the first messiahs of shots
begins with the myths of Chris Shama and
what is the reason for that because as
we enter him to Gullah
just like Yaakov Aveeno is speaking as
the Jewish people are about to start the
ghost Jakov is gonna die it's the
beginning of 210 years or 200 years of
difficult times the Jewish people and
it's at that moment at that time the
shots of the shots Bob Lee was speaking
about this was written by the harkaman
by the sages
you know the mission was written during
the second base I'm English mich nice
but the gamora's were written you know
after the base image was destroyed he
was really at the the cusp of the Jewish
people entering into this long exile mm
your exile right what do we need to know
as we go into exile you need to be
sharper Kovac America when you go to
sleep in the nighttime in the darkness
when I could a schmuck who is is roaring
like a lion and saying oh woe unto this
Jewish people because of their sins at
that moment at that moment of eggs at
that moment of darkness should my Israel
a shuttle okay no show me hard
don't forget listen you gotta listen you
got a you got to pay attention
you got to remember you got a in order
to hear the aspect of Israel you Sorrell
is the aspect of the Jewish people in a
revealed state in a positive state of
redemptive state you want to hear about
you Sorrell you want to hear about the
Jewish people in a redeemed state
Shannon okay no Shama hug you got to
look for the fact that God is one that
no matter what Hashem you'd cave up K
which is raffle and Lucado
is din this is mercy this is judgment
all aspects darkness light it's all one
sure myself I'm looking we need to know
that as we go into dollars and I want to
bless you and ask you to bless me a
stream should help us that we should be
able to to have both of these aspects be
shock LaCava Kumiko we should be they
said that through our st. krrish my in a
night time in the times of sleeping in
times of darkness which is exactly the
bakumaru the morning of uhm a Robin
Evora where we openly see that a
Sherman's in our lives involved
