Vayishlach - Following Examples
242 views
Why did Ovadya separate the 100 prophets he was saving into two groups? Why is it important that he followed the example of Yakov in our parsha? Why do we find this theme in a number of places in the Gemara? Why do we find this also in regards to the behavior of the Amoraim and tana'im, where they followed the example set by the Rabbis of previous generations? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded with
a shims never-ending assistance in roma
pitch in which Israel 5780 2019 this
week's part is partially schlock in the
beginning of our parsha the torah tells
us about Yaakov Aveeno Jacob how he
split up his encampment into two
separate camps because of the danger
that was coming from ace of Asaph was
coming out to greet him with four
hundred people and I'd like to share
with you a thought from her but I'm free
then there I'm sorry
hi I'm Emma Levites this is from C
Christmas or a beautiful beautiful idea
and actually it's very much connected to
something that I wanted to bring across
in my new video my new Hanukkah video
for the song for the light and I'd like
to share with you what he says and I
think to share with you the connection
to my new video which I encourage you
all to check out this piece is called
shimmers tell me the Cohanim
the idea of learning from the actions of
Torah scholars learning from not just
from what they have to say but also from
their deeds says like this is surah
qamar' Sanhedrin kamar and Sanhedrin
brings enough Lama Testament base which
39b
Micah cava domain of in the park in
Malakand Ovidio the Prophet Obadiah so
he took a hundred prophets IBM
commissioned me to menorah
he plays 50 of them into one cave and he
plays 50 of them into another cave
national commission ich why did he do it
this way why did he put 50 in each cave
where mullahs are Miyako Blauman Blaser
says that he learned this idea from
Yaakov Avena from Jacob that Jacob he
split his camp into two in order to
protect them Ovadia was protecting them
protecting his new vm but they shouldn't
be killed by I have if I'm not mistaken
so therefore he's put them into two
groups if one of the one of the groups
would be attacked by Yamaha now
initially Plato so then just as Yaakov
in who said that the second group would
still be left so - that's what I value
did Marco so the hot resolution
Marsha s as follows Zilla Shani this is
what he says meet Karl Emmer Myakka of
lemon evangelist is king why does what
we have to say what her blood have to
say that how did he know he knew it from
Yaakov Aveeno why don't we say Amen me
swear that's my Ovid okay why don't we
say that he thought of this idea on his
own
why did he have to learn it from Yacouba
vino hockey I'm sorry a mummy swear
that's my avid hockey could issue you on
a shaman plate maybe he thought of this
idea on his own in order to save those
who would be left over why we have to
say why do we have to say that he
learned it from a Covino from Jacob we
named it Gemara Vedas are Issa we find
gomorian avodah Zarah enough ham and
bass be 25b Terrebonne eruptions
dominant Akuma darica the Cooley
Charlotte - Haleh let's say a person
encounters an idolaters on the way he's
afraid for his life he's afraid this
person might harm him so if the person
asks how far are you going
Yahoo place had air so what a person
should do the person should say I'm
going let's see he's going 10 miles did
you say I'm going 20 miles no person
should say extra why what's the idea
Cadell Shazia Covino ladies of a Russia
a sub when a sieve encountered Yaakov
Yaakov did a similar thing the sieve I
assure Allah Allah dining CEO he said to
him when Yaakov encountered a so so
their conversation was a so said to him
why don't you I'll accompany all I'll
take you on your way I'll protect you
and you have said you know you go ahead
and I'll meet you in say ear but he
didn't go that far Yaakov actually tell
Danny see look see vaya con esta su casa
he stopped at suitcase which is a
certain location which isn't that far
haha I mean kahshanna la mulana lumen
sighs maracas brother da versatile abyss
a Kabuto so the idea is that what's the
what's the what's the reason that this
is done why does your person do this in
order that the person will think you
know if you has any thoughts to harm you
so you'll tell me going a certain
distance you'll get to half the distance
what you actually intend to go
he'll think that he's gonna get you at
the end of the of the path and then
you'll you'll you know you'll be safe
and we learned this from Jakob of you
know but again the question is why do we
need to learn this from Yaakov you know
why can't a person think of this idea on
their own
well the hollowing save further damage
says I ever yak of Shalom you're my econ
Espinel year the verse tells us that
Jacob arrives the city of SRAM and he
encamps there imma be my dress
the measures tells us he's still mad at
Lisa no micro basil how the ownership
all in CERCLA has leaked have no
appreciation hanami Meno we find it
there's an idea that if you live in a
certain place so you need to do nice
things for that place you need to
benefit that place
Yacouba vino gotta scram he encamped
Arrieta curseth oh he had a sense of
recognition of the good that was done to
him and he was able to stay there this
is obviously before the story of have
Medina but he wanted to express that so
he set up a store that he would charge
less it was like a store he was charged
less for merchandise that usually cost
more and then we found a show imagine
shave you how my sister Abhimanyu
hyperbolas Schnittman ooh the Moorish
lushly Shoshanna I believe this is
actually also a Gomorrah in Shabbos
kushikatsu near probative area I'm in
the laser cutter by Isis Salam to marry
another girl in la bouche memory of hi
so there was exactly a similar story
happened where Rimmer I in a son of
eliezer
so they were living in Terraria and they
felt that they had been protected by two
area that had been inside of the cave
there in Terraria Tiberias and they
wanted to do something to express their
our cars to talk to the place where they
lived
how did they know to do such a thing
they learned it again from Yaakov Avena
from Sonia Jacob did and the question is
they couldn't think of this idea on
their own why was it necessary again for
them to learn from Yaakov Aveeno in this
regard okay so let's see we'll see that
there are other examples of this as well
it rings a few will we'll see if we read
all of them but I'd like to read a few
more become our asana janessa my
ceremonial America mulu Shiva la Lea
kishke Mamata Shriner there
the story's wrong I'm Liam he wanted to
convene a best in a court and he
commanded that seven people should join
him there what happened was he got to
the location and there were eight people
who had come so there was one person who
had not been asked our me who shall
Sheila mistress Harriet whoever has come
up without permission so you should go
down you should leave the place that's
what I've come Neil said how much more
I'll cut to me I'm her to walk out and
got up even though he wasn't the one who
had come up there without permission he
got up and he said I knew Shirley
Susheela Bishwas I was the one and he
went out he didn't want to embarrass the
person would come up there without
permission okay
jihad the US is ready the Kurdish a rare
craft room
a similar story occurred and very
interesting I mean I'm leo
so I'm sorry so Sherman akhaten learned
it from how how did he know this because
he's sold by his Rebbe there was a story
with a Rebbe
that there was someone had come into
this year and he had a very bad smell
coming from his mouth he had eaten
strong garlic or Mimi oh sure Yates say
qv8 we got so so ready said whoever ate
the garlic step out please it's it's
disturbing us sorry Bahia who had not
eaten the garlic he got up and he left
I'm the cooler than everybody left to
shock our mutt sushi mreb you'll already
feel I really ought to who should see
our table so so he said you're the one
that did it
somebody said to be here were you the
one who had the bad smell more like late
takers I speaks well you said no that's
not it I left because there was somebody
who would have gotten embarrassed and by
me leaving everybody also left and by
everybody also leaving the result was
that indeed the person wasn't
embarrassed okay so remember learned it
from rubbing very heat so they're here
Michael Gummer allow me really mayor and
where did Ruby here I'm sorry so Shimon
I cut and learned it from Reb Bahia and
because ruby he was the one who walked
out didn't wanna embarrass somebody
where did her be feeling it from uniform
I'm Amanda Tanya mice to beat you Chaka
should bust the base measure Miss Russia
she already mayor mayor one time a
certain woman came to his base measures
I'm early Rebbe can we can catch Shani
Bibby oh he's this woman said she said a
very have you think she said that
somebody here married me with marital
relations I'm gonna be mayor because of
legaia creases who knows Allah
so really mayor himself amazing thing it
wasn't clear who had done it wasn't
clear who had married her this way every
mayor himself got up and wrote her again
wrote her a divorce document then what
happened I'm the coolant customer nothin
else and every single one of the members
of that base Madras gave her a get and
what was the idea because this way
wouldn't embarrass the person who had
been we're done this thing which was not
so acceptable Rani mayor mayor Gummer
law where did he learn it from Ishmael a
cotton he learned it from Shamala cotton
like we said
shmulik on was the first one who did it
okay that was the story where they all
went up were they all went in to judge
the case and there was an extra person
there which will I caught me a gorilla
you can even feel weird he learned from
he learned it from the verse in Ezra and
this person named is gonna mean you feel
it says there in chapter 10 verse 2 we
young Jenny when you feel but grandma
but anyway hey camera allow me oh sure
where did he learn it from if you look
at the verses there you'll see the story
over there you learned it from yahushua
be buddies mmm i should exceed an amount
and we find that moshe that all that he
could not to cause embarrassment so but
the idea here is very strange or
difficult to understand on the surface
he did me a Gemara halal the one Allah
made the Machine Laden lastly Stuber me
die - then I'm sure you see an amazing
thing an amazing thing a powerful thing
an important thing a poor important
lesson that a person is not supposed to
do something on their own person even
though of course I could think of this
idea on my own I could think of the idea
to separate my the two of I'd you could
have thought of it on his own to
separate the new VM put 50 here for 50
there each of them could have thought of
this idea not to cause somebody else
embarrassment on their own but it needs
to be something that we saw somewhere
else it needs to be something shiny I'll
call a code a la gomera man hey
Koga marilla about each one the Gemara
said where did he know it from well mine
mr shah kami Saurus asked me why didn't
say that he did it from his own he did
it on his own
thought of that idea on his own
la caja another my sister me
that'sthat's my Missy person should not
do things on their own
I see Mina's as mr. Koenig Adela he'll a
threesome when a person does things on
isn't his own we don't know if we're
biased we don't know if this is the way
that the tour expects of us da da da da
da da da hurry so it's a great danger
she an honor guard in LA and all of the
games for rice we don't know the end of
things see if I have a Miss Sarah if I
do it because my Rebbe did it and my
reverie did because his Rebbe did it and
he's related because he saw that that
was what was done in the Taira and they
did it in the turn because that's what
they saw it done by yoshua back to Moshe
I went to Moses so then we have a mister
we know that this is the correct thing
Moshe aubain was somebody who had divine
inspiration the things that he did were
based on real ha kodesh based on direct
instructions from a sham so we want to
make sure that our will is aligned with
Hashem school because we want to make
sure that what we're doing ultimately is
going to produce good fruits positive
fruits that things will be good in the
end we can't possibly know that but we
know if I could borrow who is the the
one behind it if it's something that was
done by by my share of aina by yahushua
and by great sages whose entire lives
were were completely seeped in the tyro
and the dots of the Taira
the will of God so then we know that
what we're doing is correct
volcana a few dirhams walk on every
member here even these great sages from
all cotton really Meredith Hill I also a
lot of people in will be my sera they
only did it because they saw that the
Rebbe had done it she'll hurry up show
the lamb dumb miss for even though it's
just something that could have been
learned miss Farah okay so that's the
basic idea and it's a very powerful idea
I mean there's more here we'll see if we
can get to it or not but I wanted to
share with you just the thought that was
connected to my video so I know if you
saw the video yet but the video so in
this in this story in the video which
was a made-up story I made up the story
the shams help so there's a young man
and he'd like to purchase a menorah he'd
like to get him and know a beautiful
menorah his family doesn't have the
nicest menorah and in the story so
there's an older couple and they're
reading the safer Ava's class
which is about loving-kindness and
actually it was really cool because here
we have this couple and they're gonna do
a kindness for this this young man for
this for this child who wants a menorah
and when I first picked up the saber
Ava's case said to use it in the video
was a Chicago practice they opened up to
a page which said as an obligation on
adults to do Kaiser to do kindness for
children anyway that was just I always
see interesting things as I'm doing
videos because more who gives me see
after dish my divine assistance but why
did I intentionally specifically want it
that they're reading the safer then
they're not just doing a kindness on
their own because it's a nice thing to
do
they're learning to say for the the
reading I'll discuss it the learning
about the idea of kindness because you
know this is the idea and this is the
message and it's a very important
message especially for today there's so
many different opinions there's so many
different isms in the world are so many
there's liberalism when there's
idealisms all kinds of ideals but you
know throughout the five thousand seven
hundred and eighty years since the world
was created there have been all kinds of
different opinions about what's the best
way to go what's the best way to live we
had the Romans and we had the Greeks and
we had the Buddhists that we had the you
know I'm saying the Christians and the
Muslims and we have all kinds of
different theories of ways to live but
there's only one way to live which is
divine which was given at her scene I
and Mount Sinai in front of 1.2 million
people who experienced a revelation a
Kadesh barcode and this world and it was
done concurrent to him having taken out
the Jewish people from Egypt an entire
nation
1.2 million really probably much more
than that maybe one and a half or two
million people amazing miracles followed
by an amazing experience at Mount Mount
Sinai and to this day we keep the tire
exactly precisely as it was given on our
c9 by Hashem by God exactly how it was
given that's how we keep it
the Gemara the Talmud the sages didn't
make up anything on their own everything
was specifically given to Moshe Amana
was at our show my pet it was written
down about 2,000 years ago fifteen
hundred years ago but before that it was
all there we had a very clear authentic
tradition that went all the way back to
Mount Sinai and so when we keep the
Taira when we do what it says in the
Torah we follow the dictates of the tire
the laws of the tire as they're laid out
in the PI scheme we know that we are
doing God's will and we know that we are
following in a true Cassady if let's say
we're doing the kindness because that's
what it says in the safer so what it
says in the in the safe Rahab discuss it
that's a real classic you know I might
do something on my own because I think
it's a nice thing to do I might do a
kindness on my own because it's a nice
thing to do I might get involved in
saving the whales or I might get
involved in you know being vegetarian or
all these different kinds of ideals that
we don't know maybe they're maybe
they're true ideals maybe they maybe
they might be a passing ideal now if you
something that today it's something
that's invoke the the climate the world
you know I'm saying all of these things
they may or may not have validity I
don't know I'm not an expert in those
areas but what I do know is that
whatever the Taira says is true and
whatever the Taira says is important
that's what's going to last forever
that's what's going to be real that's
what's going to ultimately give us a
real society a true society that's
that's going to give us what we're
looking for in life so I'm to give us
satisfaction we're going to be aligned
with God's will and we're going to be
aligned with that which is a true a true
reality okay now with that in mind so
you know that's kind of what I was
trying to express in the video is that
these people are learning this hahaha or
I don't know if it's the halacha that
there's an obligation to do that but the
idea was that we're not just doing
things on our own we're doing things
because we're inspired by the Taira
because I could a schmuck who wants us
to do these things it's not just coming
from our own self that we think oh
that's a nice thing to do or that's not
the right thing to do the Taira is what
guides our every action and that's the
message here there okay I'm
Labatt's is teaching us that the reason
that we do things the reason that we you
know the reason that this person went to
such an extreme when it came to making
sure not because somebody embarrassment
himself admitted to having done
something he didn't do
or himself admitted that you know I'm
saying whatever it was all these
situations why do we do them why does a
person have to have that sensitive
sensitivity because the Taira says that
that's the sensitivity that we need to
have we know that because we saw that by
our teachers we saw up by their teachers
Russia Shiva
so sanga's only should be very well I
hear the Sherm from him every day pretty
much every day listen to shoo him of his
or Reid is safer and he always talks
about this is what we saw by viral bar
and this is what I saw Barry Byron
Cutler this is what I saw by the
previous generation and it's important
to know he also says sometimes that this
wasn't done in the previous generation
an example of something that wasn't done
today they come down and they don't blow
out the candles after they walked down
to the chuppah and a wedding ceremony
right that's that wasn't done that
wasn't done people would blow out the
candles it's not a mitzvah to leave
those candles burning that's an example
it gives us something that wasn't done
but it's important to know what they did
do and what they didn't do it's
important for us to know where we have
veered from the previous generations we
need to know we have to get back to what
they were doing sometimes we've added
stuff that's not necessary we need to
know that that's not really what was
done in previous generations that's
important to know as well we need to
know why do we do it why did Avadh you
separate the camp into the new vm into
two separate groups because Yaakov and
he didn't just do it on his own he
didn't just do it because he thought oh
that's a good idea because maybe if this
group gets in trouble the other group
will be saved
interesting covered on his own he used
the terrace as an example because
whatever the Tyrus says whatever we find
that the Tyrus says to be true that's
something that we could take it as an
example that's gonna work for us because
the tire is eternal the tire was written
and given 3,300 years ago our always
lived 3,800 years ago between thirty
seven thirty eight hundred years ago
around then and we're still here right
this is
the tire is that which keeps us we're
the only ancient nation that still
exists exactly precisely as we were 33
hundred years ago same people same
mitzvos same Commandments wearing the
same to fill in the same sits Asst
lighting those men lying those Shabbos
candles on Friday night the same people
we haven't changed and we're still here
because this the Taira the way that the
tire lays out for us that which we do is
based on the Taira and as long as we
follow as long as we follow that which
the Taira says we shall remain our
children will remain for all time I want
to bless you ask you to bless me I
should help us to be able to recognize
and to seek that which the Taira wants
for us to seek the way of the Torah and
that which the Taira wants from us I
apologize
Shem should help us to be able to
recognize those things and to be able to
do those things and to be able to
continue to exist through up through
ourselves through our children to our
grandchildren and great-grandchildren
until the times when Messiah comes and
all the world knows the truth thank you
