but nonetheless we see that eventually
he graduated or evolved
to the to the level from the level of of
intellectual understanding
to a greater level of relationship
with the divine that we see in chapter
15 when hashem says to avraham
genesis chapter 15
that one shall not inherit you he's
talking about eliezer of course i had to
start somewhere only him that comes
forth from within you shall inherit you
and he took him outside and said gaze
now towards the heavens and count the
stars if you're able to count them
and he said to him so shall your
offspring be
and he trusted in hashem
and he reckoned it to him as
righteousness
so now this teaches us his children at a
certain point
we need to retire the intellect and and
let it go and just trust in hashem even
if we cannot possibly fathom how any
sort of salvation can ever arrive for us
or even if from our very limited human
perspective we can't possibly
grasp
where redemption would come from that's
what right that's what king david said
sure
let my eyes look towards the mountains
where will my help arrive from he didn't
know where his help would come from but
we don't need to understand
simple faith is
arguably abraham's most beautiful legacy
sir of mayor shapiro of lublin he taught
another abrahamic quality from that same
verse and i really enjoyed this one i
read i wanted to share with you now now
listen to the verse carefully right
gaze
now towards the heavens
and count the stars if you were able to
count them
and he said so shall your offspring be
sir of shapiro taught that although it's
impossible to count the stars
avraham was instructed to do so by
hashem so he immediately started
counting
and when he did hashem said this is how
your children are going to be
meaning that when the children of avram
are given a commandment or led in a
certain way it doesn't matter if it
seems totally impossible they're going
to count the stars
they're going to count the stars even if
it's impossible if intellectually it
seems that there's no way to fulfill it
doesn't matter
when god tells us to do something we do
it without calculating whether it's a
realistic achievement or not
we leave the how
in hashem's hands and i believe that
doing so would be reckoned to us
as righteousness as the masks are coming
off and much of the world is turning not
only against israel but yes against the
jewish people if you feel different if
