to share with you a four-time Freelander once again and he discusses something very interesting in regards to the towards description when Yakov Aveeno is coming back to the land of eretz yisrael American on the land of the Jewish people and he's about to have an encounter with ace of his brother the Torah tells us that he brings his entire family over the Jordan River and he goes back from

we felt by a vague ischaemic in Genesis chapter 32 verse 24 the Torah tells us that Jacob was left alone and he had a battle with a man and our Savior cells of this man as we find in other places that the term refers to an angel has a man here - it's an angel now I'd like to read to you inside whatever plan feliner says very very very interesting with prosciutto shall make revived Wasser Levada

shouldn't be going anywhere alone Sharia could initially if he D be whose oak because Jacob had been left alone he was by himself and as a result he was damaged - come on cool enough static olive page 91 ah look Rojas elevado tiresome malady aku of you know we also find very interestingly that our hazael say in a different vein and a deeper on a date as a deeper understanding of it our sages tell us that the word Levada the word he was there alone is indicative of a certain advantage of certain greatness of Jacob you sure - gossip Asik as our sages say in the verse inform Deuteronomy chapter

oh boy just like in regards to God this is our empower that gesture enhance the certain power the people of Israel has a certain power that Yaakov you know that Jacob had what is that power what is that that amazing characteristic just like a shaman says vinicio hashem live a day that in the end that the verse in Isaiah tells us that in the end of time when the Messiah arrives so God will be alone it would be clear that God Himself is all there is off Yaakov so - Jacob Varya Varya elevado a verse tells us that Jacob was alone what is the idea of Jacob being alone in some way parallels the fact that God will be alone God will be the only will be clear that God is the only power somehow in regards to Yaakov Aveeno in regards to Jacob regards the people of Israel of course the Jewish people as well we will soon see there's this aspect of loneliness of being alone what is the idea of a loan or this idea of this singularity which is true in regards to God we described her as being alone and what is the idea of alumnus in regards to the Jewish people and specifically in regards to Yaakov of unum Jacob - una commercial nevado so reply Medina explains what the advantage was what

there's only one intent it's all going in one direction what's the direction that everything is going in order to reveal the honor of godliness in the world ah - everywhere - Sara so the obvious question is what do you mean everything is to reveal godliness in the world what about evil what is the concept of evil that doesn't seem to reveal godliness of anything evil is ahead there it's a it's the godliness being covered up being hidden efficient because it's a Rob but now that the power of evil is created in the world pinion leather my fear of v8 Sahara and the human being has free will and has an evil inclination veneer lioness his kilo Yahoo aloo rasa is Megatron Hashem it seems that a person can do the opposite of the will of God that's how it seems logroño my socially Scottish she's got a crush on volume and he can cause through his actions that God's name not be sanctified in the world that God may be hidden in the world other avocado pillow sham a person can cause through evil can cause the desecration of God's name in another king don't think that that's true don't think that that's actually absolutely true it seems that way for the moment a lot I said love I what's going to happen in the future what does it mean Vanessa commercial Nevada that God's name what God will be will be seen that God is all there is he's alone he is all there is a nine Nevada there's nothing besides for him he's got occupy like see McCallum Ison be no time you've been around it will come out that all that which occurred all that which was done through actions good

managers Rochon miss gadelle should my amazing thing when somebody who's even when some who has done evil its punished by God receives the his due punishment so Valena Messerschmitts protection is bar and everybody learns the true judgment the true ways of God the true things but after uh shots when we discussion was Sonic and even the person who is evil he himself admits that God is righteous that the punishment that he receives is due him okay there a huzzah we find our sadist alysus ashamed shaky Lisa Shalako sparkly looming on a the Piazza D came just like God's praises comes from the Garden of Eden where the setting where the righteous people are enjoying the rewards of their good deeds ha Sumida in the same way in the same measure either hanim me P Irish I'm so there's a a praise of God that comes up from hell Shem I read animes Kamiya knows the people who are there who are receiving their do they're receiving justice for the evil they've done they pour forth tears like Fountains at Sherman saunas gihan them into my Sam amazing thing their tears come down from their eyes and all of those tears cool off the fires of hell we show ilaaha kilos and and this is my own kind of envisioning of it but the the tears fall on a fire the steam that comes up that very steam is a praise of God what is the idea in my memory what do they say what do the regimes say the ones who have done evil in this world what do they say American on Yaffa Martha Jaffa danta you off at the heart you have a teammate so you have a high after they say that what you said is correct that which you judged us is correct that which you said was pure is correct that what you said was impure is correct and the obligation that we have in it and the the punishment that we've received is fair and righteous so the evil ones themselves through the evil and from the voices from the throats of those who have done wrong comes a praise of God that the the just punishment that they receive is appropriate that itself is a kiddush end that itself is a great praise of God number two that's the first way that even the evil itself is transformed into good number to come awesome marvelous official children live in the word smash em God arranges God has programmed reality such that every single thing that happens in the world even the evil things that occur in the world ultimately serve a greater purpose served to bring about the will of God it's just part of your shots I think about the example of the hardened heart of Pharaoh he's evil shall the resolution may become he didn't want to listen to the voice of God he Allah Gillick vs. trimester Marcos acquiesced himself as a result of his action owes as a result of his hardheadedness his unwillingness to acquiesce to the will of God it brought about a revelation of godliness in the world through the 10 Marcos the templates and through the splitting of the sea I want her Russia also vast my it's amazing example I'm on the evil one he himself he created this very built this tall gallows William Susheela hockey was mortally sous he himself was hanged on those gallows he was the one who gave the advice to akash Irish thinking then the advice was something that he would have he would benefit from but instead more high that sadek was the one who benefited from it from the advice of how to treat someone who the king wants to give honor to the cervical Derek ignores shovel-ready shaver Abbas can you know we find many examples of this where the evil that's perpetrated or that's attempted to be perpetrated by somebody evil the result is that the the righteous individual receives the good if I might say that knows the Penal heavens ice when we look at the world we'd have not yet had the clarity to be able to see how the things that seemed to be so dark and so evil truly and ultimately turn out to be for the benefit of the Jewish people the benefit of those who are good I don't know Celebi Scotland had overlooked calabria business in its emotional body that's something however that will become clear and apparent and obvious to the entire creation to all those who exist when the Messiah arrives Messiah comes that time will be there'll be a revelation of godliness the world and we will see how every single thing was actually for the good of the world and for the good of the Jewish people okay amazing thing amazing depth that's the idea of a Niska of a shell and father God is all there is any Naima father there's nothing besides for God there's nothing besides for good because that is the true nature of God and as the true nature of the world no how does that apply to it Sadiq how does that apply to a righteous individual what does it mean by a Vassar Yaakov live a day that on some level Jacob is alone what his idea of alone in regards to the tuilik in regards to the righteous one I'm free then this is an amazing thing there's an amazing thing okay slim isn't Sadiq he says like this what his idea of the perfection of the righteous righteous one he says it's not dependent on Caleb you're this here's this it's not dependent on any vessels love dependent on anything outside of himself amazing deep idea cuz shame Chicago minute Allah business through name chamois hood so just like when it comes to the honor of God God's honor which which is us seeing his honor in the world seeing godliness not seen goodness in the world that doesn't depend on anything outside of himself is something that we will see ultimately those things that look bad right we want to see ultimately that they themselves were intrinsically good were intrinsically part of God's plan it's not depend on anything outside of him I assure might say but my son of Rome - italic ain't on boys L of me boots in the same way in a precisely parallel way when it comes to a righteous individual there is nothing outside of him that's going to affect his intrinsic goodness his intrinsic greatness well now if I use meter clapping EEMA everything comes out of his inner perfection is in her greatness kalevaram our morality Mishnah Morelle explains an amazing depth in the mission the mission of office in the ethics of our forefathers says like this Benzema Amer a Sukkah homily me Michael Adam who is wise an amazing statement we think of wisdom someone who's very smart someone who's someone who's accomplished loud has written many papers who's been received a Nobel Prize that's who's why that's who's smart says huzzah something different they say who is wise somebody who learns from everybody a zebra who is powerful who is mighty who is strong not the guy who works out every day a vicious yesterday somebody who has an internal control over himself who doesn't allow himself to be pulled in the direction of his date Sahara has evil inclination in whichever way he is pulled a zoo Asher who is rich not somebody was lots of money not someone was mansions and many properties not so on who is powerful Patel Chi somebody who is happy with what he has someone recognizes that he has all that he needs that's who's rich hazel mokuba who is somebody who is honored who is somebody who is honorable I'm a hobby this herb reais so you just tell us it's the opposite of what you think is someone who shows honor to others so we have here a mission of mine mine mine mine are a violent psychosis call them the mission is the numerating four different advantages four different characteristics which when we speak of them they include all aspects of the human being number one hokhmah his wisdom mystical his intellect that's number one number two Guevara who nice naturally the strength that he has inside of the characteristics of his soul shira's wealth bikini nao adam regards his physical acquisitions covered by a facade on the c-usa the honor of a person regards his relationship with those around him Mishnah man perish from eyeless elitism vomit Toyota Colorado Misha tells us an amazing thing just like when we speak about God's goodness not being dependent upon anything else on any outside things that seemed to be the opposite of his goodness but ultimately it all come it will will see inside of the evil thing we'll see that God's goodness was was there all along it's something that's completely and it's not dependent on anything outside of God so - when it comes to the - of it satatam the good characteristics of the righteous individual we find that it doesn't depend on anything outside of himself but rather it's something that comes from inside of himself and and comes out if you con Shannon tow nice light ollie they knew too much about boots it's not something that comes from something external collection or a like the morale says Shekhar - right shaggy you name some it's an odd special Alameda all of the advantages the positive characteristics need to be inside of himself needs to be self contained the righteous one his self contains not depend on anything outside of himself let me set as ULA's not from someone external my ramaa I make me here compared to - aw allure the morale is going to give us a deeper depth into each of these four characteristics I'd like to read them to you and and try to understand them hey Zuko allow me Michael Adam we said who is wise somebody who learns from everyone - aha camino a potato country they are become oh it doesn't depend on him having lots of wisdom knowing lots of things this summer isn't really chic or calm that's why we say sister morale that who is appropriately called wise they are sure who let me call Adam it's somebody who learns from everyone she mistake he got her a hot mom it's a tots my he desires wisdom for its own sake for from from his own self actually me Michael Adam is what we is willing to learn from anyone harm let me call Adam if let's say a person is not willing to learn from anyone Rock me Raphael shukaku Mangano just from one great sage one rabbi Rasengan Cain it Lemire a shoe who mannequins so then his wisdom is also dependent on that particular sage which is outside himself I mean said add something it's not coming from himself maybe she'll Hashima cerebellum it's just because he considers that rabbi to be significant to be someone important that's why he listens to him in Russia Kurdish and cockney shouldn't be called a wise person sure ash a massive bow Allah means an absolution ball of attire as he something which comes same because intrinsically he's he has wisdom is intrinsically wise and choucas a hawk on Chicana and actually it's the desire that a person has for wisdom which also he doesn't say this but it also gives him a certain humility he's willing to find wisdom wherever it is he's willing to learn from anybody it's not just somebody who's very wise that I can learn from but he's willing to learn wisdom from anyone right so that Keanu sinister smells aha home that shows an intrinsic humility in regards to wisdom and that's something that it shows an intrinsic aspect of wisdom he's a giver consciousness to the second aspect who is why somebody who overcomes is his negative inclination and they should give him an a sack of harem somebody who's very powerful and he can win in a battle with other people mommy said I said sure honey I'm a nerd saw so then again his power is dependent on something relative it's always relative it's not intrinsic depends how if he's stronger than somebody else we need to mean to a special record said azules it's not intrinsic it's only because he has something in relationship to somebody of a lavaca a vicious yes right somebody overcomes his own negative inclination is emmy seldom at something which is inside of the person himself its intrinsic let me set as ill it's not dependent on anybody else we shall Kakashi curry Gabor therefore it's appropriate that he be called powerful because he's intrinsically powerful hey watch out Smith Michalka who is rich the third aspect somebody who is happy with what he has kyoshiro kucherov anything my lad somebody who is very rich it's a lot of of possessions so that's not something which is intrinsically it's not intrinsically wealth those in my thoughts libras unless it's only dependent on something outside of himself but no Hassan on his riches could just lose them I got sure was some epic Hulk of it when he's happy with what he has so he's not dependent on anything outside of himself oh yeah sure some advice name a lot see at Smith's this is this is wealth which which comes out of something which is an internal intrinsic advantage in intrinsic positive characteristic he's a McLuhan I'm accommodates a Prius and lastly who is honored somebody who honors others Shana me Shekhar McLuhan mishima Cobb and I Sabri eyes we can't say who is on to somebody who gets honor from others why hurry in Rajesh fields any criminal but that's not so he was intrinsically honorable it's not intrinsically honorable she was in advance that's Mohammed to our it's not something which is intrinsic to the one who's being described she I covered who be out of here I'm economist it depends on other people let's see one day they decided they don't want to honor this person he won't have the honor is that intrinsically honorable with Shri chakra mikado I say in malice our covenants of automats money it's not intrinsic with a camera zoom aluminum hobbies have reais who is somebody who's honored who's honorable someone who gives honor to others a caution because sure he might have covered he is considered honorable because he is the one who has the honor inside of himself because sure my hobbies have really not coming etai he honors another person so he is intrinsically honorable through his being through his honoring others I'm a clue but clearly cover the author someone who's honorable knows had a give of that honor to others somebody who's truly it's an amazing thing you see in all of these there's like a certain humility which accompanies the intrinsic aspect here covered a zero-mean said ottoman let me tell Azul it's not dependent on anyone else Aloha shared a lahar cashews Aloha demand sense patiska she was ask me avoiding somebody who's cautious someone who is important knows how to give importance knows where to find importance he resonates with importance and therefore he gives honor to others he sees something important than others he sees something special each of them so that's the idea of live a day what his idea of love vada amazing what is the idea of God being alone we've not depend on anything else his his goodness is not dependent on anything it seems outside and to be a lack of goodness that sadek the righteous individual by us a yaku Nevada what is the aspect of a righteous person who is alone a means that he's not dependent on anything outside of himself for him to have greatness and to have goodness I'm gonna read the last point here we're gonna wrap up they
