Zera Shimshon Parshas Vayishlach 2025 with Rav Simcha Bunim Berger at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim

Okay, good evening. Tonight's a Tuesday night special whose name is Does it say >> that's right [clears throat] for and for the following and you All of them should be and learning for all of those and also for and all those people who join us into whether you're here with us those who are on Zoom and those who follow along with anytime. You saw the also also what says today, a great uncle of ours. >> Okay. Page med quote. It begins with the words medish. It's letter Tess my river side letter Tess medish on ya in Yesha now actually this medish is on yes in a ha that we read in parasikra so I'm going to give you a little bit of background which is not written in the zerosimshin as to what the noi was telling claus Claus is being consoled by the boy here my servant. So says Hashem who created you the boy. Don't be fearful. I have chosen you. I will pour water on those who are thirsty. Noimm is wet water. Noel on those who are dried out. I will pour my spirit on your children and my blessings on your on those that come from you. And then he says the p that the the zerosimshin is quoting first we'll do the p and then you'll see the medish and would say once the water and once the spirit of hashem has blessed claws in gulis people will now perk forward zo One will say I belong to the one person will identify himself as one group of people. It's Z meaning there are four groups as we're about to seem this fellow will inscribe for the and finally Israel and they will be referred to by the name of Israel. There are Arabitos. There are four groups that will be awakened because the aashtar will sprinkle them with his goodness while we're in the gullis and this will make a huge difference in cla will soon see in the gans who are these four groups of people the medish that the zerosim quotes the medish y identifies them ani I belong to the that means we're talking about au those righteous converts will now be identified as Jacobe top of the next column baluva they're the people those scri cribers the ones who inscribe their bal. So we have different groups baluvaim sadikim and converts gaim all of them will be reawakened but the zerosim wants to understand this name yov we know that in this week's parish after fighting with the malik the malik adds a name to Jacobu he doesn't just change his name he adds a name how do I know that he adds them. It's actually a discussion the gor in the gmorrah says got changed from to abraham and no back seis you can't change that however's name is not the same type of name change even though when it says in the it shouldn't your name should not be it happens through the angel And it happens later on through the Aish then confirms that name change. We still find that Jacob is not just Yakov as well. And the reason says the is because almost immediately afterwards the Hashem refers to him as Jacob. What does that mean? That means that Jacob has two names. We want to understand what that is. The Zerosim will address it tonight as well. Here we're seeing in this medish that different groups of clown Israel some of them are identified as Yakov some of them identified as Israel who well Israel is the shayim they're called and the converts the gay are now asks on this Bashimov Abraham. Wouldn't you think that the appropriate name of convert should be Abraham? Uh what's that? >> The first G. >> He's the first G actually >> which is what we do. No. >> Exactly says Rabi. Exactly the point that when we give them a name, their father, they're called Ben Araim and their mother is Sorro Rish for the Guis. They're the ones who started Claus. When you give an aliyah to a convert, he ch he or she chooses a name. Who's what's their father's name? Right. A cotton. He's like a newborn. The terret says benav I think I once said over over here in this shar from the mamores a grace the mamores says that when a and sor for 70 years couldn't conceive one would think that is so what were they doing trying trying no every time there's The yehood of a husband and a wife are created. All the souls of all the converts that would come to this world and be born in non-Jewish homes and then they would come over to Cla. All those nishas were created by Abraham and Sor during the time that she had not conceived. They were created at that time the Morris. Now, one of the grace of you have to be like my Reb would say and and therefore indeed it's not just cuz we don't have anybody to to name them after as parents so we might as well just call them Abra because created this nish they brought down this n just didn't have the gof to get in there yet. When they convert that's when the gof comes with together with yama. So their true nish parents in yiddishkite is a sor. This just makes the zerosimson kasha even stronger. So why are we identifying [snorts] these nish these gimm with ben yakov? Why does the medish call them children when as we're saying now and adding from it's more appropriate to be and not yet says the asking questions that's why is called he is the father of all the nations not just of where he started off the the rea Rambam on a Mishna inurim that says that when a convert brings fruits he can't say when he says right who's yeah but but but you come from a right and you don't even and you converted right you converted so how can say you didn't get this land you weren't part of that came. You just came to Judaism right now. But the Rambam says we do not pass like that because it's and is the and I can give it to them too. When we say one second and when we say and we does a convert have the right to say can they say that yes or no >> yes >> yes they do why why do they say that says the zerosim they can say that because their which means they started in the beginning they started with they should be called not that's my kasha says the zerosim I have another kasha says the zeros it says if the top of the page the the of the he says one group of people was Jacob and he writes his name not his name but his handwriting is to the those are the baluva that's another thing I want to know those are two separate questions time with the time that we have let's address both of them fascinating Shahim nikimov are known as Yakov. Why? Don't mistreat a convert. You have to give respect to them and even more so. Where does this come from? Because as the Tyra says because all of you have the same status as well. You would say you can't squeeze them. The golas began with Jacob as we know like it says the Jacob was the one Or when Jacob is talking to par even uses a lotion of G we just hear even though Yseph was there first but when Yakov came is considered included in part of the shim nephesh and all of them are now And all of them are considered a part of Yakov's entourage. So the status says the zerosim of g amongst clus our identification begins with says The fact that the goodness and this is the way I understand what the saying was to goodness then was then to all of that brought good to them. The fact that links the way I doubted or took care of you and the way I and the way I loved you, you were gay. They're gay. You're mitim. They were they were not a mitzim, but they carry the same name as you did. Bashem therefore the identity of a g while of course where the comes from is but we're talking about we're not talking about the identity of the g I knew I would get to this right good the endearment begins with They can say no necessary good comes from just being auh and that ish does not get what we get and even being a and as doesn't get what we get you got to be a Ben and in order to get it all kinder of kinder and grandchildren did not get it. These gaim are getting the identification and the aava and the endearment of being ben yakov. Why? Because our own identity began from there. So you were like that and you enjoy the goodness of Hashem. So so too you have to love as such. One shot. Let's do a second shot and then we'll go to the then we'll go to the baluva. Take a look on page two. Here he says another reason. which is every convert. This is a very cabalistic rabbi site. Adam Harish is the surah is the form of man that encompasses all of humanity. Jews and non-Jews alike. Every human being in the world even originally came from Adam until she was dissected and became his partner. But all of us come from one man, all of humanity. But then something happened. The no had [clears throat] this had this um he captured the heart of convinced her to go against Hashem and by doing that he was able to get Adam to be to identify as Adam Bal the bad man. no longer the good person and all of his kids and while there were some sadikim but look what happens to one brother kills his other and then the grandson already makes a zor and by the 10th generation just have and it didn't get much better round to after the world was recreated because as we've talked about so much the had grabbed a hold of all of these nishas. When Jacobu took the brahus from Yeitz and took the bur and took the bra says the zerosimshin he stole back some of those namas that were taken from by the snake and that's why he had to do it with trickery he had to beat the no the way was taken by the must be taken from the >> let watch the words inside as they develop. This comes again from the I quoted earlier the curses that came to the world. with Jacob's trickery the hu without Jacob stealing those namas back from Asov they never would have become Jewish >> they had been hijacked by the a real like a like a you know like a real hijack they were taken away that's why he's called a heel because he had to take it like a heel you had to make you had to do a cup like the mish you had to use the of the because they were under the spell of the and bring them back the kor shimo yakov. So these namas are identified with because I need the the need a means I need the trickery of yakov. It's not enough that I've run created these namas even though timewise but where are they? They're underneath the of they're by the Gentiles and if they're going to come back to Claus it needs the power of Jacobu to bring them back. That says the zerimshin is why Jacob had to impersonate as had to act the way he did in order to and rais it's not much different than what he had to do with the sheep of loving as well to take that away those kadoshim that represented cla all of Jacob's blessings were found in the citra ara were on the other side because the other side had stolen it from the of in the marsh here. Tonight we're going to discuss how Jacobu was the he's taking back what belonged to him. He wasn't somebody else but he's actually too so to speak taking back what was originally his >> reason why he looked like >> that's what it means red one more point that we need to make over here we go back to the piece that I skipped the other point which was the baluva that the bal chuva are the ones who are the scribes here the zerosimshin says something amazing >> [gasps] >> It says that these are the people it's brought down. When we had a mto what what the now this is needs a little bit of an introduction. It's beyond the scope of tonight's shar but will be with a 30 secondond introduction and that is when created the world there were levels of worlds there's a is higher that's not necessarily the right order but the we live in is the the world of the world of doing the world of my this world when there's a Bikto is a world that's there is in this world theina has a place and the earth is a different place and as kazal tell us especially when it was with bay everybody the frequency of kadusha in the world was on such a level that just regular folk could all be nim the level of kadusha was so high that the frequency that we lived on was such a graa madrega that cla and even the world if it wasn't unfortunately was there was black magic the world was totally different as such says these And what is this last line on this page? When a top page writes down something from the that I'm going to translate as foundation, writing down words of Tyra and bringing them into this world through and specifically through baluva people who were on the other side and now bringing their thoughts and their makabas into Tyra and concretizing them and making them into [clears throat] written word has a tremendous kadusha. How so? Also aim that in this golus shall be uttered in just like we don't have a ba mikdash do we? But we still have carbonus. We say it in ding when we say the is the mean says I think it's in or says we're m we're mlasro those people the namas of clusro those who are mister And those unfortun who pass away are like carbonos in the what a person does in this world when there is no bas [clears throat] is in lie of the fact that although we don't have a ba mikdash but we're able to still bring down kadusha to this world as though there was one When a person does a when he does he writes down and about especially they are what does that what kazal referred to in Yesh heavens. And about who comes back to and writes has a of making like a new a new heaven. He quotes this from a zy in the beginning of I want to read to you what the zy says. I'm going to read it to you in the Hebrew translation. When a person says when a person says those words, [clears throat] it goes up to heaven. and it presents itself to Hashem and it gets crowned with 70 crowns. It sits on the head of whatever this is and then it flies around and [clears throat] he can continues explaining things which are beyond our pay grade. They stand in front of and they become what's known as the source of And from all of this comes in one place over here. He says that the is he kisses these words and they become the source of this world. One explanation just so we can understand to bring it down. My Rabbi Zak explained there's no such a thing as old life. There's no such a thing as old life. >> What does that mean? Old life is always every moment something new. I'll explain. I'll explain. >> [snorts] >> person takes a breath. You brought oxygen into your lungs. How long will you survive on that breath? >> Second, two seconds. >> 1 second. 2 seconds till you get the next one. >> How long can you hold that breath? >> 10 seconds. >> Let's say a minute. And what afterwards? >> You got to breathe. I'm done. >> You're done. If you don't breathe. >> Mhm. [sighs] [snorts] Every second we're breathing, every second the blood in our body is being pumped. If their blood doesn't flow to the entire body at all times, I have a member right over here. He can tell you what could happen if a person would try to in your mind try to understand that I want to live on my life that I was energized a minute ago. It doesn't work that way. Of course not. That means when we said there's no old life, it means say there's no such a thing that life is not constantly Yasious the renews the world every minute. Why? >> Because he's in control. He wills everything for me. >> Why does he want it? What's happening in this world? Because there's a rat. Why is there a Why does want because we live our lives the way he wants us to live? Because our life reflects a life that the has a sign for. Because he finds our life a worthwhile life and therefore invests in it. The is so good that even when we mess up our lives and we live a life that's not worth living, he still invests in us because he's the ultimate good source. He'll never stop investing in us. But there has to still be a reason says the if not for the if not for the covenant that he made with us that we keep There wouldn't be the ever knowing earth, the ever knowing heaven, the words of that are brought down to this world and are concretized. Those are the words that keep the world going. The terra that we speak, the we write, the we say, we are keeping the world going. When there was a basiktosh, there was the shina here and there was a rutson for the world. The abisha was down here with us. When there's no basiktod, where is the aashtar? He's with us too because we have the power to do like the mikdash to be the like we talked about last week in zerosim. Even when there's an there's still there's still he gives us the strength and we reciprocate with the strength back to the so says the is the that clalisro the different groups when it becomes evident that when the time comes that the messiah will come and it'll be evident of all these different groups and they're going to pop up they've always been there. There's always been converts. There's always been there's always been bal. There's always been sadik. There's always been yor. But sometimes they're not so prevalent because the world isn't willing to accept us. But when the time comes and they're going to identify themselves and this one's going to say, as it says in the one one is going to say All these people says the shall become identified each group and one of those groups the one the ones that were responsible for they're the ones who have been keeping the world going and it's thanks to them that there is an those people when Msiah comes will be identified as the ones who kept the world going the ones who are the gay they're the yakov people says the zerosimshin They're the people who Yakovino could say, "These are the ones I stole from Asop. These are the Vayakenis. These are the ones who thanks to me, they were the ones I was the [clears throat] gay." Like the Zerosim says, they're around. They identify with me because thanks to me, they're be able to be back in Clausur.
