Vayera - Big Challenges, Small Challenges
320 views
What was the approach of the Satan in trying to stop Avraham and Yitzchak from their willingness to sacrifice at Hashem's command? If the Satan saw that Yitzchak was willing to give his life, why did he bother him with a little thing like jealousy of Yishmael? Why do the Kohanim need special encouragement in regards to the Olah sacrifice if generally they are 'zerizim'-quick in their service of Hashem? How can one use the small challenges in a positive way? What tool can one use to face off with the 'little challenges?' Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

the fact that that the Sutton said to
our Aveeno that that what you're going
to give away this child that came he was
a honey 100 years old
other things that he said to him now
it's interesting when I want to focus on
is what he said to him in regards when

oh I'm sorry
I dunno what it means it means that when
someone hears Lashon Hara so even if it
doesn't believe it all the way he
believes it halfway here's a little bit
it comes into his mind so even though
you didn't believe these to her
completely but it's you know it bothered
him a little bit so he turns to I'm from
Aveeno and he says avi
it says llama avi avi de Paume him the
measure says why does it say the word

rock humming he indeed turned to autumn
Aveeno and said I have compassion on me

accomplishment we're going to give up
everything for our Shem that strengthen
you talk that gave him the ability to do
it
Keisha autumn night haha das Mao on his
silent
- burro when a person has clarity what
is the challenge it's very clear as if I
make a meal of Amitabh insane it makes
it easier to be able to withstand the
the challenge but obviously so happens
miss Vegas what these are try to do it's
a heart tries to give us doubts maybe
you shouldn't do this maybe what about
your mother what about this what about
that obviously it's a Hockensmith's
Vegas la Erebus are those on a sign to
take away this the how important it is
or how you know the exactly what the
nice sound is look sure David sewer
Bruce and he's unusually your circle are
my boy when a person has clarity about
what is this Messiah
what am I facing off against what is it
that I need to do with that clarity one
person this is an amazing tool having
the clarity speaking out person's face
with anything yes I was trying to get in
to do something wrong pause what do I
need to do I need to stand up strong I
need to do
will I can't just give in to my etc I
can't give in to my to my evil
inclination okay I'm lookin lenience get
down on my dining a book on incense ki
time so here's where it comes to this
principle and that is that the person
could be ready for awesome difficult
challenging misenus but that doesn't
mean that he's ready for the little ones
I'm starving he says it like this
amazing thing we need to understand
already it stuck me said that's my mo
cannot get him serious nefesh gets our
new can't start up with him when it
comes to his mysterious nefesh he's
gonna he's willing to give up his life
government heal it's ours in a a master
nutshell i love he's even willing to
give his mother pain you know that's
part of the deal
it's what we got to do sometimes in cana
he says i'm alive i mean he's saying all
the Titanic could shoot Ashok in a me
smile it's a funny thing
where's he at Sara Ganim he gets him by
saying to him he was gonna the money
that or the weather you talk about the
wealth you talk about the spiritually
Russia the inheritance is gonna go to
him instead of you if you give up your
life he's the ones gonna take over this
is kinah this is jealousy that's how he
gets him sure he got his call you
Richard saw he's gonna get the holy
Russia no inheritance back to the
all you got on the Syria that was that
was where it got him that's where he had
trouble you have to turn to our Medina
for help guess you cannot even say
McKenna I said live nasal others she
tell he's a climbing in a sentence he
hates air that strange thing house that
I'm doing you say gunnel as are teaching
us an amazing thing an awesome
foundational concept you talking try to
move on the nice and cuddle iris years
nefesh manage it Korea the person is
ready to give up their lives I can do
that big thing I needed that awesome
startlingly great I can fulfill that
Mitzvah
[Music]
Lulla me awfully Colleen son cotton yes
sir but that same person can fall down
in a small new sign a small challenge
something my mischievous speaks about no
sometimes the person can have be talkin
interestingly a person gonna have faith
in God you can trust on Shem when the
going gets really tough he's the person
can say oh I know because what who is
gonna do what's best for me it's
possible a person to be in such a dire
situation that even though then that
double a week ago
the mother was worrying where's my son
and come back yet who knows what
happened me there was an accident on the
road on and on there's no Ptah him but
when the person is in a dire situation
they know that their life is hanging in
the balance that same person can I have
awesome baton right when it comes to an
extreme situation it's in some ways
easier to to perform to face off with
the challenge I'm just like hey that's
add some oil across an insane asylum
it's true that years I can't prepare
himself for the greater than cns for the
greater challenges at least currently
crash I sing sanna cotton but he wasn't
ready for the little insane the little a
sign of jealousy oh you should I was
gonna you know I'm the Bihari me coming
see I'm sure cuz I bagged Arabic Lama
Simon we find that generally speaking
cause I'll tell us is the concept of
that included in 200 is 100 if you can
accomplish a bigger thing if you have
200 if you have the power to do of 200
obviously you have the power of 100
usually that's true
Avila Gavin is seen as he ate so a chef
cause there when it comes to the Sahara
just cuz you worked on one yet Zara just
because the person has accomplished
something with a particular area of his
service of God doesn't mean that they've
accomplished something that they're that
they're bulletproof in another area you
go me that star clock irascible - Prunty
each and every meter of a person each
and every single character trait of a
person needs to be worked on
individually the Godman is like a
consultant across time either show
mysterious nefesh even if he prepared
himself when it came to the me though
mysterious nefesh willingness to give up
his life of Allah he's gonna sense when
the krasiki Russ - O'Connor he may not
have uprooted the meda of kin of
jealousy when who desire its artists is
rest assured I'll finish it - like lemon
you say so for that he needed a Verma
Venus helped be able to withstand the
pizza the seduction of this or
the evil inclination he brings a few
other examples of this and other places
where we find this idea she was that
kind of a crevice Isla there's a concept
and when it comes to bringing the carbon
holla when it comes to bringing the
special carbon which was completely
burnt up completely burn sacrifice so
the tire says the tire says a language
which is miseries which encourages the
Chi atom to do it correctly to be
careful about it puzzling said sabes
harm is one of Zeiss Terra so I look
away
the word salve says command heir and his
sons because of Rashi in several of the
oceans here's me a little nervous
whenever you have the word salve it's
always a language of encouraging people
of saying do it quickly do properly now
and for all generations already shimming
the ice routes are focussed of lazarey's
but welcome she's with you son kiss
shimon says whichever i says and when it
comes to something where i don't benefit
from it i don't know i'm not making any
money from this the kind usually my
cousins other car bonus you get so Kayla
he gets to eat from it this carbon is
completely burned so I'm not benefiting
from it it's much harder for a person I
can tell you from my own experience it's
hard for a person if you feel like
you're not making money India why am I
making this music for people are not
gonna pay for it right that's a thought
that I hate to say comes to me quite
often right one person doesn't feel like
they're benefiting from it it's much
harder to to do that thing it's hard to
be motivated in the same way the clay
haven't they don't get anything from the
carbon oiler they needed to be commanded
this is what you have to do I need to
encourage myself this is the Schlegel
cycle - well kaboom in this world for -
grey music hey mr. lasersohn Sequoia a
crevice a yellow fish eh book eastern
kiss this means that there's a special
obligation as we just said there was a
special I'm sorry now obligation a
special need or critical to to be
masari's them to bring the carbon Isla
Boucher's what he's done gives you cool
calm a box let's get out of here let's
bail him no one else benefits from it
it's completely burned
it's hardly human he says it requires
explanation our economy it's not a bomb
hims reason we find in many places in
the Gemara
the Kohanim are extra careful when it
comes to their avoider not only that I'm
sorry Matt circles awesome so what do
you need to encourage them whether it
kills coach Jamie Gumb can have either
him animus on my feels come at least
she's a something where this occurs you
like reverse allah liked it
it's true that the eating is a nice
thing and they enjoy the food but that
that itself is and avoid unto me
something that itself is part of the
service if they're careful about that
part of the service well I want to be
careful about that crapha the bringing
of the curve and bring the sacrifice if
you rock me Shan Shan I'm gonna be Sarah
oh it's kind of you leave them alone oh
it doesn't make sense
yeah they're gonna think in there are
they might might steal into their heart
I thought that oh I don't get any food
from this I'm not gonna be so careful
about the criminal I haven't forbid my
gosh like right am i you Harvey pop I
mean I have a sponsor question there you
get stomach aches able from eating so
much of the of the bus or in Kay my
duties are to talk about crab masala why
would they hold back why do they need
that salve why do they need that command
to encourage them not to be lazy in
regards to it birra my fear a bi going
of destler of daesil explained a shame
is 7 will cover missus
even though it's true they're completely
surrounded by missus on all sides
but wait a sec i dish they're involved
in the service of a shem who's reason
about us and they're careful about their
there they're quick in their service
neither the students ears doc about me
the negatives get on him sammy same idea
when it comes to smaller and sinus when
it comes to the the little things the
little it's easy to do big things the
little things those are things that
require an extra an extra encouragement
an extra extra attention in that area
any brings that i'm not gonna read it
inside but it brings that one more point
fewer points i'm gonna go just hone in
on one he brings another point that when
it comes very interestingly when it
comes to the kind got a line kipper we
actually used this concept in a positive
way there's a positive spin on it the
conga liam kipper so they would set
aside another coin if in case the coin
Godel
something would happen if you would
become impure the other kind will be
able to take over why would they do it
not really as a backup
we know that the Congo was careful but
it would encourage the kind gunnel not
you didn't want to lose his job you'll
be more careful about having the correct
thoughts that he shouldn't become impure
because he knows hey that guy's gonna
take over for me if I no one wants to do
it so we see that it's possible to use
this very concept in a positive way
right it's possible to use the idea of
this this jealousy the little things we
could also use it to encourage ourselves
right the proper kehna just cooking a
siphon see somebody else who's who's
let's say another example of you know
just talking about us I have a job to do
I have a job to do and and it might be
learning it might be in shiurim when I
see other people if I know if I don't do
that job so what else is gonna take over
for me that's gonna encourage me to do
it correctly myself so that's an
important point as well so what is the
idea and what are we to take out of this
so he tells us like this my ever obvious
it's Aussie / professor said the
following story on average average
Hodgkin optionbit IRA a certain person
who wanted so much to learn Torah but
it's certainly luck I'm Harvey Vichy
okok he had to fight tremendously in
order to get to the yeshiva it's the I
mean it seems like a Dunham's maybe his
parents didn't want him to go maybe
there were other things that were
blocking him from going the nuts issue a
solution you can't see this even
pollution he was finally got there he
passed all the tests he got to the point
that he wanted to Shaquille Rashaun
a crazed man MA his battle beetles
monnorick
he got there after all the challenges
are the big challenges got the Shiva and
all the little challenges knocked him
down he wasted his time he wasn't
focused and on his learning and then of
wasting his time in his Shiva I feel
shaken it's had some the cousin seems
like at home although we had prepared
himself for the bigness yes for the
bigger ones well Mitchell and the Santa
sect animal you me when you he failed
when it came to the day leanness yet
it's the daily challenges that had to
face off with he lawyer moved on the
cross on his a mastectomy wasn't ready
for them eh bizarre I didn't is nice of
there's another thing here shocker a
shot am ivan is cns good item excuse me
after a person gets through the bigger
challenges isolytic are gorgeous see

meet our person feels great look I got
oh I I want I did it I did it I got
through the big one alright guys just
see Bugsy person feels satisfied
grandmother learn from Amita mr. Sackett
on him I did the big thing little things
okay I feel good already about myself
and I'm not gonna stand up to those the
little Mussina so much harder it's a
much greater the little things are much
greater in a certain sense a class of
our um Kyle our house has a similar
thing but I don't search at either of
them you learn them a new clue who buy
them I said I'm all the time a person
needs to know you're not in this world
and not to just hang out relax look back
on your accomplishments no you're here
to work it's that sum up like someone
goes out to war under terrible
Connolly's krav always ready for battle

Messiah value the collar

himself in this way so he'll find
himself you will find his work to be

beautiful thing he says we are day
