you listening to the weekly partial
podcast with our Eagle lag recorder with
the shims never running assistance in
room option which is real 57 79 2018
this week's purchase partially eight say
and in our partial they were beginning
of the partial we have a great challenge
which reclined Freelander brings the
question that he asks I'd like to
explore his thoughts try to understand
the idea that he shares he says like
this it's very interesting if we know
the difference we look at the difference
between Yaakov he knew Jacob he is
leaving he's running away from his
family's house he's running away from
his father's house because a sub is
following after him to kill him and he
runs to Horan he runs to the land where
his uncle lives were loved and lives and
he's going to find his wife his wives
ruffle layout and but he as he's going
he's going in a way which is very
different than Eliezer if we remember
from last week's parsha
previous purchase so we saw that Eliezer
had gone in order to find a wife before
you suck he went to the same exact place
went to Karim and her clan food and it
points out what an amazing contrast that
is between Eliezer who went in order to
find the wife there he came there as cuz
I'll tell us with thisis America he got
there in a very quick very quickly in a
very short amount of time and he came
there with many camels and he came there
with much wealth and jewelry to give to
rifka and everything was exactly the
opposite it seems of the way you move in
with NACO business leaders tell us he
had lost everything he just had a stick
keeping Mike Lee apart this yarn you're
damn right he passed over the the Jordan
River on the way to Horan with just a
stick that's all he had he had nothing
else here no wealthier no camels
everything was taken away from him and
he went and it wasn't just a simple
thing to get whereas Eliezer agami
of you know had a hole myself yes douche
my of God the divine assistance in order
to find the right girl and in order to
get her right away the family agreed to
let her
take her that very day Yaakov gets Sarah
takes seven years before you can even
marry the woman that he would like to
which is rock aluminum and there was a
mixup and you know loves doing all kinds
of tricks and by the time he gets out of
there it's 20 years later
so it's an extended stay there and it's
an expanded story when it comes to Yoko
you know Jacob why is it we need to
understand that's the question that he
poses for us why is it that when it
comes to early as they're going together
to get a wife Frey gets look it's an
easy deal it's just one two three chick
Chuck it's not your fingers everything's
cool but when it comes to Yaakov avi
know why is it the Jacobs experience is
one of much greater challenge much
greater difficulty nothing seems to run
smoothly what is the idea here what is
the Torah come to teach us with this
concept so he brings he quotes Cazale
our sages say it's a magic machine rune
above our papa pasa the pick us in the
name of Munna Papa began okay then
whenever we have the introduction of our
sages when it comes to a partial need to
know that that introduction is going to
lay down the foundation for how to
understand this parsha
so he started as follows the verse says
I was tailor haveta
Darko the verse tells us that then you
shall go with bet up with assuredness
you're going to be assured when you go
on the way etc into Chicago to 5k the
verse tells us if you go to sleep you
won't be afraid I was telepath atop say
Yaakov this is my tteok of going with
assuredness that's Jacob that's
versatile yeah Jacob went to Chicago to
Farid maysville oven when he's going to
go to sleep he's not going to be afraid
of Laban and from Asaph shock after our
mission etc Sosa's you should go to
sleep and show sweet sleep by Chicago
Malcolm whose verse tells us that he
went to sleep in that place so that's
what our sages say what is the idea it
continues like a small barn alcaman pass
off Sheila Melissa Sinai
horeb verse tells us that King David
sang a song in a sense I will raise up
my eyes to the heavens
first I'm sorry he says I reason my eyes
to the him to the mountains assign
neither hiring I will go I would look to
my my parents Horan which means a
mountain can also be read as hovering
which means parents
I mean lafon i lamothe day me to those
who are performing to those who to those
who forming Maiden the annual esri where
will that come where would that help
come from and the Ezra Shore show all
that so the message tells us this
contrast teaches us this amazing
contrast Elliott was Russia Hall Olivia
Smith max Eve Bay what does it say one
regards Eliezer when he went to get riff
go to get Rebecca by Kaka Evan I saw him
Allen did with him ten camels have we
said my knee loin has an echo blade
summit a flood Jacob says to himself
look at look at me compared to the
previous generation I don't have
anything to bring my my grandfather's
slave had ten camels had all this wealth
closet me over Matt I know move on
Superman breathe but then he said to
himself and this is a process and we're
gonna see you kind of freedom it's gonna
explain to us that there's a process
that goes on here he said after he said
what do I have it nothing he set himself
what I'm going to lose my hope lose my
hope from believing and trusting in my
Creator do I believe that Hashem is not
gonna help me Koster Sean listen I move
on to Superman breathe my Creator has
not I don't have to lose my hope in my
Creator
su-mei Michelle as the verse says my
hope I'm looking back so now the heart
I'm looking back to the way things were
with my parents and things don't look
good
you know I know movie three where am I
now I'm gonna come from you may Hashem
help
Yaakov set himself Jacob said my help is
gonna come from God
No so he says I'm gonna read and some
time for you then they ask the question
it started the earth if he Suffolk
height of the Yakima be no my shadow my
husband she'll need to understand what's
going on here does it mean to say that
Jacob had a question
if you should trust in God it can't be
it can't be that he had a question
whether or not to trust in a she'll be
Ramana Martin agreed leavening is it so
should he therefore by the last six
miles to be talking he quotes Rev
leavening who says that this is the way
that a person develops trust how does
the person develop trust how does a
person get complete trust so he explains
that this is the way it goes
Shona may have our Lots Mascola Suffolk
person needs to clarify for himself the
entire the entire subby the entire
question in the airship shorts a
harassment matter become a Michelle are
there other ways that I could do this
myself is there on some of the way
decides for me trusting in God
relationship I really absolutely sure
Rosh Hashanah fellows are by proving to
himself that it's only God who can help
him brienna shorts are first azula's ice
there is no other choice there is no
other option the calculate gamma cannot
have Brewer Mouse we talked mich limbs
that's how a person reaches the
recognition that there's no one for me
to depend on except for God it's only
possible for me to do this the only way
that I can succeed is by trusting in God
I've got gonna be viewed a bunch of us
like Adele Hollywood there's oh so Jacob
when he was trying to trust in God he
went in this way the very last machine
me show you how he loaded laser to
clarify that he recognized inside of
himself
there's no one else is going to help me
besides for God Rochelle oh I don't have
any possessions heard of a McLaren loss
is really but much so easy if his
parents can't help him in this situation
roughly watts and you can't even help
himself yes when I might so Vichy near
LeClair the lytic fo he thought about
his situation when she seems to be
hopeless Ilana show me smart eyes of
women ammu hood super even Bri if a sham
would also if God Himself was not going
to be with him what he sets himself
could it be that I can't depend on God
could be that I can't that my creators
not gonna help me on the days that
Aguila easily be tough my show my meaty
engineer my sham special Emirates that's
how I got to that complete and absolute
understanding and trusting God that
there's someone else who can help me the
only one
is God and God is not going to forsake
me let's go to Morocco for theofilos
Hiroshi only God can help him and save
him Arabica ishida because a Kazakh only
after he reached this powerful trusting
God more voices passion which was
founded on God supple as Gossage Emmy
Lou :
what happens immediately after that what
happens is that he has an amazing
revelation which occurs when he goes to
sleep and he sees the latter he sees the
ladder with the angels climbing up and
down and he has an awesome experience of
God but recursively natural meets of all
of as verse says God was standing over
him if toughest Hashem and God promises
him smarty Kailash your family because
you trusted in me Shem says I'm going to
protect you in all the ways that you go
okay the feyza i'm moving on come on a
submissive a no now i can understand the
intent of the measures which we've
brought in Tishkoff the verse says if
you will sleep you're not going to play
for the Chicago saga if Jamie was not
afraid to sleep in the field
I've taught grace to me so right so of
Anna my fear solution and a good with
Hashem he's not afraid to sleep there
even though he could be afraid of those
who are running after him and he said
was running after him because he trusts
completing God he's not afraid kindly
left off as a sham so it's so doing so
then he knows that he has the promise of
a son that's how he merits the promise
of a show
loads of don't be afraid may
someone we love and not from a 7-eleven
but a solution and the email but our
closeness a club and he has a pleasant
sleep you can sleep well so to speak but
both figuratively and literally you can
sleep well because of the fact that he's
trusting in God no you said something
amazing just an amazing thing and this
is the this is where this is what I want
to focus in on was this the foundation
of the idea here came a shot - Yakima
doc willoughby slogan of a show so show
me or he's so lucky Leslie my smiles to
be tough for me now since Jake what was
he doing here what was the point of what
he was doing the entire goal here was to
attain levels of be tough
to attain levels of trust in God that
being the case or solutions - to be done
back in Syria a sham costume the stress
at service to that cover baseball why
did I shall give him these challenges
why did Jacob have to go through all of
these difficulties as opposed to Eliezer
in other words the measure she doesn't
ask the question which would come fill
in the rest the question but it's a
question that pops out because he's
looking at his abuse generation and it
was so easy for him
he had everything Eliezer came with all
of these all of the different abilities
and you had all of this wealth that was
with him but but Jakub didn't what was
the reason tells us from kind feeling an
amazing idea and that is that the
challenges were there for him to realize
that he can't trust anything he can't
depend on anything the fact that he has
well the fact that he has camels the
fact that he is there's nothing to trust
him there's only one person to trust it
and that's a sham himself only God
Himself Kim can help out that was the
reason why he had to have all these
challenges Jiali additional you got a
cluster cold but oil because by the fact
that Yaakov had nothing
yo I give the show must be tough
question that enabled him to be able to
develop a level of trust in God took a
culture autumn emerged across the ice or
mushroomy coal to the extent that a
person feels that he doesn't have that
he can't do himself that he really needs
God's help Holly a so the Gila Kirsch
Lannister Akash in your philosophy
when a person recognizes and realizes
that he can't do himself he's tried his
best he has he's run out of options at
that point when he's run out of options
and he turns to God that that's the
thing that helps him to turn to God and
nobody turns to God because I'm actually
myself he beat up my ship that's how he
attains a true level of trust in God he
realizes that are there no other options
he turns to God completely
I shouldn't helps him okay
I'm skipping a little bit of what he
talks about here because I don't want to
get into a different idea and I want to
read to you that what happens what
happens what country leader says when a
person indeed gets to this level what
happens when a person reaches the level
they'll be tough enough trust in this
way the result is that there's a really
not only on his own part that Asha was
helping him but those around him also
recognize that God is helping him let's
see inside because your other might give
Ashley miss we'd be talking about chef
Thiago when a person reaches this level
of trust in God as the jacob miss
nakimura neither can i give me the brush
Kaka we see you a gully Lane called an
amazing thing happens when a person
trusts in Hashem and he gets the other
the Schlage gets an amazing level of
godly assistance the result also is that
everybody around recognizes and sees and
acknowledges even a great Russia even
someone who's evil can see and recognize
that this person is getting special
attention special help from God
shaaka Russia right I've got a shaman
write a book even someone who's evil
sees that it's God doing it and he
admits to it when she might see my cell
yeah colette you find by jakub should
love in her Russia plated Leela what
happens Laban the evil one who serves
idolatry even he had missed Natasha's
number kind of Shambala
he says through my magic I was able to
see that it was God who is giving the
blessing which spilled over to me I was
blessed because of you by God oh no I'm
on a caste right but what does he say he
said I was able to see through magic
shakeela Guillen's ice rock holiday
Niels you only was able to recognize it
through his magical magical divinations
I thought about my deliverer finishing
with lalafell nevertheless he admitted
that it was God who was blessing him and
he means another example of this we find
by you see photonic as well
the Joseph one of the reasons that he
had success was because of his constant
contact we got his constant prayers to
God he was always God's name was always
on your six lips he was always saying I
shall help me some help me I shall help
me I shall give me a success he
recognized that he couldn't do anything
on his own and as a result he had
tremendous the other dish find an
amazing
divine assistance to the point where
variety assure me my the verse tells us
that his master saw pota far who was a
Russia who is evil he saw that God was
with him
I changed my shirt with fifth Rashi
tells us the message tells us because he
was constantly mentioning the name of
God
okay so this is something that Yaakov
had this is something that also Yosef
italic developed and learned from his
father now I want to show you one more
concept from a clan Friedlander
I don't see how much we can get through
of it we find or Klein tells us that we
find it there's a there's an idea that
generally speaking our sages teach us
things many times very deep ideas in in
seemingly simple contexts okay let's see
he gives us the following idea kappa mo
shan this is what cause i'll say to us
home on a rough up the rabbit bar mori
rather said to rob a bar mori the
following idea
Nina I'm Elsa Darian chic kind of a non
Zoot really got bro Raja negotiation on
the dirty key because I'll our sages are
telling us over here said Gomorrah God
become another case on page 92 that
there's an idea that the people there
there are certain phrases that people
say and we can actually learn a deep
understanding not per se from actual
phrase but we can see that there's a
depth that can be explained within that
kind of statement people say when I was
young I was a man I was strong now that
I've gotten old I've become like a baby
that's what people say when I was a baby
I was strong when I got old I was like a
baby what is the idea so he says like
this I'm really neat Kharak see if I
show my little neon yellow but close to
my death neither my mana issue holy life
amazing idea this is foundational really
try to to understand this idea it's
really just beautiful so important to
understand
originally it says the verse tells us
that Hashem himself God himself would
lead the Jewish people his his divine
presence was seen in I'm gonna on him in
the in the cloud which was leading the
Jewish people the land of um of Asia
hire him and at night they were
they were led by a pillar of fire
Willoughby Sykes him so God Himself was
the one who did it originally originally
when we were young we were strong so to
speak he's gonna give us an even deeper
depth in it so listen carefully we'll
have a sexy but in the end we were old
and we got we got we were like babies we
were we lost us our strength what does
it say he nanika sure if my locker for
necklace Rock Madera originally I showed
himself God Himself was the one who is
leading us and guiding us but what
happens in the end we lose that direct
guidance and instead God sends a model
of an angel now the garage explains
something amazing here listen to this
depth qu come up too much accustomed I'm
a Jewish this is a foundational idea
when it comes to the constant they'll be
tough on of trusting God like it says in
the magician of a parabola Marshall
attorney Bayless she katana Imazon Oso
when I centerfield it's comparable
analogous to a chicken that when the
baby when you have a baby chick so they
Beach it comes to its mother the mother
gives it the worm the mother takes care
of getting whatever the whatever the
baby the chick needs question it's got
Nellis avala Halima but when that chick
is already grown up and it comes asks
for food from its mother Maki I saw the
feed for your clothes on a socks mo so
the mother chicken hits the child
chicken because it can already feed
itself it's not necessary for me to feed
you anymore
kanga Shawn now now we're gonna flip
this on his head listen to this
carefully can cushaw hagen cuttin the
tail by Ramy odd when a person is young
when a person is is not yet developed to
the point where he thinks he can do it
on his own when a person is young a
certain mind of a certain advantage that
he has he doesn't think he can do it son
Shem does it for him okay
mannequins for America had some practice
when a person is young he gets an
incredible amount of a Chicago practice
of divine providence machinist got about
half bad so what happens when he grows
up he trusts himself he starts to
believe that he can do it come I can -
go on him at a smile love because he
thinks that he can do it on his own
that's why he starts to lose the divine
providence this is it because if I can
do it on my own
if I don't trust in God's verses oh you
can do it on your own do something do it
on your own come I came here oh and
that's how what's the Jewish people call
him hyeyeon will you miss tiara man I
miss my commercial I lead before the
splitting of the sea before they got out
of Egypt they were completely dependent
on God they had no other dand all the
way to succeeded they knew that they
recognized that means oh ho and
confidence says that's why they were
exactly Mary - Emma asked me and I him
you know I game I shall name you Elmo
God Himself was the one who's leading
them why because they knew that they
couldn't do it on their own so therefore
they put the full trust in God thank God
directly help them and let them the Aqua
captionist might between over what
happens later they lose their trust in
God why because now they think that they
can do it on their own and smash Gotham
Ellen as a result of that they lose the
divine providence this is an amazing
thing when we were young when we thought
that we couldn't do it on our own
God did it for us when we became older
and more developed so to speak and we
thought that we could do it ourselves we
lost our trusting God that's what
happened okay
interestingly and beautifully I'm not
going to get very much into this but he
mentions that that's why the the kerubim
the the angels that were on top of the
are now bridges on top of the park of
the Covenant those angels which
represent were an analogy for the Jewish
people to represent the relationship
between God and us from God in the
Jewish people they were they had faces
of a child on them they had that youth
that innocence because in the state of
innocence that's where we have the true
relationship with God when he completely
trusts in God like a child trusts
parents okay so the wrap up here if he'd
I guess I spotless sure such gonna make
some English according to the level of
our subjugation are surrendered to God
that's how much he Nets with divine
presence was seen in the temple
but semakin Lishman believer should call
alphabetically and that that my presence
would be found in the hearts of every
single individual give it showed our
shoe shall had to be safe from circling
around the sacrum right
the the divine presence dwelled in the
hearts of each individual okay so now he
quotes just the end of this metric and
he says like this cap you're sure you
saw me tomorrow around Shona when the
Jewish people were in the mid birth in
there in the wilderness of 40 years
who among you are you I bear oil Elohim
my slab Wetzel and during that 40 year
period the Jewish people received the
the miraculous manner and the water
would come to them and whatever they
needed the meat would come to them not
me I cover my key business under the
divine presence the classic Lord were
surrounding them oh and I'm a silent man
and the clouds of glory were leading
them why because they recognized they
saw themselves as young they saw
themselves needing help and therefore
they got that help chemistry Nicholas -
Nicholas - starla Arts when the Jewish
people entered into the land of Israel
rmally my should collectively let me
came yet to join makuu shey-bui
convinced I - even each and every person
was entering into a new place they were
going to feel like they were depending
upon themselves they were acting on
their own there are the ones who were
doing it they're working the land they
have their own army they're doing
everything themselves
as a result what happens the way that
God deals with the Jewish people when we
get here to the land of Israel it's
different - gotta practice divine
providence is less obvious in the place
where we think we're doing it god of my
presence is less obvious but to the
extent that we give up believing that
we're the ones doing it that's where I
shone starts to come in that's where
God's divine presence is revealed when
we are young again when we return to
that state of youth of purity I'll just
read the wrap up your MC aluminum
hog assumptions Martha autumn that is
do you cliffie between emission we come
out here this is a kind few vendor that
the way that God deals with us is
precisely the way that we trust him but
why some either show mark each other
mask my a Milan to the extent that a
person feels powerless Kahala hacker
shock or apnea session is Bora then a
person can recognize that everything is
only from God made up and from the other
side of it because your mortgage
pleasure should simply shall I go when a
person feels like this is his own mind I
have my own understanding kind of his
life
were you say his health guru who shy
shall I came it's as if they were his
own the Hainan battery last machine he
taught him hey Malloy me day ragga Mesa
College Bob he doesn't recognize that
it's something which has given to him
from Shan so when he realizes that the
inner my last machine time him lie me
the regulates at the truth at every
single moment is coming from God cotton
with training machinist Bora so it
lessens his trust in God desire with Sam
:
this is our apply that this is our the
work that we need to do every single day
behold Fela Bravo and every prayer
regressing the hashers really main to to
get into our hearts a little class we
call a comment session just like a
little baby
right who knows what does she know she
knows that there's only the parents are
all the parents are there to take care
of her right so she doesn't think she
can do it on her own even though
sometimes she does so that's the idea is
it is it like yeah the mouse if he
thought one cylinder through this we
will reach the greatest loves are we
talking I wanna bless you and ask you to
bless me and my baby Hadassah have to
help us that we should reach this level
we should recognize you should have that
youthfulness in our ballistics-gel you
should have the recognition in our
service of God that he is all there is
and we can't do it on our own and with
that concept
I wish you all thank you so much for
listening have a beautiful shot
