A Vort From the Rebbe Parshas Breishis, Rabbi Leibel Schapiro - 5787

from the Reb this week's para paras braces and the first pik which is the first pik of the para also the first pos of the hum and it's also the first pik of the whole kish obviously it's a very important pik and the pik rash says on that pik why did the start with the creation of the world that hashem created the world is telling us what to do so it should have started with rash answers Because goam the nations of the world will come with the complaint to the Eden. You are thieves. You are robbers. You stole and it's from us. Disha answers them. That's how he starts off the I created the world. So he tell them you know Dish created the world. So it's his. He could do what he wants with it. So first he gave it to you and I took it from you and gave it to us. So the fact he gave it to us because Disha gave it to us. So you can't complain that we stole it. But the Reb asks many cautious on this Rash. I will just mention two of them. One is what does it mean that the complain that we stole Israel? As if they didn't do that. All the nations of the world conquered land from each other and they stole we took it away. That's okay. Just when they didn't do it, then they have a complaint. Another question comes out that all the nations of the world complained not only the nation that lived there when we took it away all the nations of the world complained what do you mean they all complained we didn't take it from them we took it froman so how could everybody else complain say you took it away what's their business what we do with with kanan and the rabbi answers that the shot is like this we know that kush conquering through war becomes yours Not only that's the that's the way the world is set up that if you conquer a land it becomes yours but also in there's such a thing as if you conquer a land from another country it becomes legally becomes yours and therefore potentially every country in the world every nation in the world has some possible connection to every other country because if they would decide to come and conquer that country from the other nation it will become yours. So potentially it they have a connection to it. But when it came to when they gave Eden when we conquered it and gave it to us he gave it to us as an which means something forever. Now it's us forever. No matter which country will come and conquer it destroy from us it still remains ours. That's why we say because of our sins we were exiled from our land. But we call it our land after we left it because when they gave it to us, he gave it to us that now it's ours no matter what who does it. And that's their complaint. The fact that we conquer a land from a different nation, they can't complain. They do the same. But they're saying when we do it, so what happens is it becomes ours, but potentially the other nation could take it back and it becomes theirs and any other nation could do it. But by Israel, what happened is they we conquered Israel. Now it's ours that no one else can ever take it from us. Even if they do take it, it doesn't become theirs. That's their complaint. And that's a complaint not only for Kanan. It's a complaint for all the nations in the world because in theory all the nations in the world have a connection to every other country because they theoretically could come and take it comes there. So they have some potential connection. But that is they all complain. They you took away from a way that now no one else could take it. So nobody has any connection to it anywhere anymore. And that's why they're complaining. And the answer to that is you can't complain because that's what Disha gave. Since Disha created the world, he could give it whoever he wants. He gave it to us in such a way. So therefore, yes, he gave it to us. And there's nothing that you could do about it. So it's we didn't steal it. And the fact that we're able to we have it and nobody else could take it is also not something we did. It's something that did. And therefore the TA cannot come and that's the reason why the TA starts with that because that's a very fundamental thing since is so important to know that belongs to the Eden no matter what that throughout all these years of golas is still the because gave it to us as a an inheritance forever.
