wanted for for 2 minutes. I want to
learn the parsha
as Hashem learns something in the
parsha, but I want to a couple of
minutes express
that
I wasn't Zelig to know to know Yudi's
brother Nochi very well.
I wasn't Zelig to know him. I say I
wasn't Zelig to know him very well
because I know Yudi and Yudi is is
extremely close to his brother, so I
definitely feel some connection to
Nochi, to his brother. I'm also close to
Yisrael Winter, who was best friends,
who was mamish best friends with Nochi
and we spent many hours talking about
Nochi, so I feel like I have some
some understanding, some connection to
Nochi.
I Well, I want to express like just a
truth, a truth of this world.
We all have a lot of things on our
Everybody has a lot of things on their
plate and decisions to make.
And decisions aren't always like the
good place and the bad place. It's not
how decisions work. There's such
decisions. Should I do something bad and
good? Usually Usually it's not even even
that if somebody understands it that
even that is not the aim of usually
what's happening.
Even that somebody's clearing night
seder or rave is clearing Hashem and
Hashem. The rave is the deep place that
I want connection and and the seders I
want connection and and the question how
do I get connection to Hashem? When I
connect to what?
The deepest spaces of
everybody's decisions, the deepest
spaces are what's the best thing for
you. What's my best thing? There's a
line a goyish thinker said that the
enemy of the best is the good.
The opposite of the best is not the bad.
It's It's It's something good that
wasn't the best. So then What do you
say? A friend of mine
is my best my best friend.
No, wait. The friend of my enemy is my
enemy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's a
possuk in Mishlei. There's a possuk in
Mishlei Yosif like this.
Yeah. That's what he said. Yes. No, the
enemy of my enemy is my friend. Yeah.
>> [laughter]
>> Then
Then I appreciate you brought us Yosif a
lot. Sure. Yosif, so [applause] the
other
You tried We all try to make decisions.
And the other night there was a guy in
Yeshiva whose sister was getting
married.
And the guy The guy asked many times,
"Could you come? Could you come?" And
typically I'm There's a lot of things.
To go to a guy's sib- sibling's wedding
is not always what I can do. It's not
Typically not.
But I felt they asked and I decided to
go. I had a hashkafa.
And I want to say I I witnessed there
Elio Tusk. He's not here. I'm not
flattering. He went and was being
mesameach with Jojo.
And I saw friendship and I saw care of a
friend came another To me that's like
the holiest thing in the world. I I I
don't know if there's holier things in
the world than a Yid caring for another
Yid. We're We're reading the parshas at
the Rav Avraham Avinu of the chesed of
Avraham.
Of of of of the innate ratzon for a
person to bring cheer, to be godly, to
be mesa- meach another person, to uplift
another person.
And I watched at the chasunah. I watched
Elio come in and dance with his friend
and I was very moved. And I could say
that going that far was like
That was a I did get to drive back with
Azriel. But the sense of bringing simcha
to another Yid in the value. And I want
to say Anochi we have we have a funny
world of what's valuable, of what's
what's important. There was an neshama
who wanted to make other people happier.
Who cared to make other people happier
is like a very very big deal.
It's interesting. I'm going to I'm going
to teach for for a minute.
First of all, some to this morning I
this morning I got a text like
I got a text from Yakov Shwekey Yakov
Shwekey this morning.
>> [laughter]
>> And he
And he was giving he was giving he knew
my father well and he was talking about
my father. He wrote a it was a voice he
wrote about my father. And I want to
send him back but not in a way of like a
cheap thing. My father valued singers a
lot like a crazy amount unusual.
And he wasn't somebody who like if he
saw this is this is if if if a big star
walked by some NBA player my father I
don't think would would care. I don't
think he'd care. It's not his type. He
wasn't like chasing stars. If if some
famous actor some Michael Jordan walked
by some LeBron James I don't think my
father would care I know he wouldn't. I
I spent enough time with him. He wasn't
a star chaser. And yet like a Jewish
singer was like a very big deal to him.
He felt them a sameach yidden.
That was like I would almost say that
was his maskana of studying Torah.
Somebody is He came from the Gemara in
Taanis. Somebody is mesameach yidden
it's like a very big thing.
I was telling even he's not here I was
telling him Mordy Liner and it's not
like a pat on the back nice kid. I was
telling him when he walks into the room
like everybody starts smiling that's
like the biggest thing in the world.
It's not like a nice nice nice guy. It's
like a huge light that's like an aura
that he walks places and brings the
simcha. He brings a mesameach and causes
another Yid to be happier. That's like a
big thing in the world.
Hard to say if something bigger. Hard to
say something bigger.
And I was thinking this morning I wanted
to tell him a Yid
that you're singing and singing to
people that my father was makhshev that
till the end of the world.
I want to say on
on Yidi's brother Anochi that
that need to be mesameach Yidden is like
the holiest place in the world. The loss
is the loss is acute.
The loss is unbelievably painful. It's
painful stam to lose a brother. It's
painful a Yid taken away at for us what
feels like so there's so much of a
career ahead of him and that's that's a
tremendous tzar.
We're talking about what that looks like
to grieve in each person as their own
There's a lot of chazal give us halacha
and there's a lot of space within that
halacha each person's journey. But I
want to express Anochi that he was
somebody who cheered up people with pure
joy.
I I met Yidi the first time I met him in
the dorm. Usually guys come here and it
takes like a journey of to get
comfortable and happy. I got a hug from
Yidi. Usually guys in Waterbury like 5
years to hug a Yid like that.
We hugged here. You're you're more
Waterbury than Waterbury. I don't know.
If this was Anochi if this was Anochi
then
amazing amazing the warmth the care for
another person the sensitivity to cheer
up another person. So I wanted to
express that we didn't have much time
this year. It's been hectic in the
start. And this whole thing happened in
the summer but I wanted to express
appreciation. What's his full Hebrew
name?
Chanoch Henoch
Chanoch Henoch. Wow, named after the
Rosh Yeshiva probably of Chofetz Chaim.
He was Chanoch Henoch, right?
Looks like Chanoch Henoch Alt Hanauer
Ben Yeah. Alt Hanauer Ben
A legacy of kindness, of cheering up
another person.
Yisroel when he ever spoke to Yisroel
told me about about his friend Nochi He
said he said remarkable things about a
guy who cheered up other people. It's
It's hard to find a bigger thing in the
world.
We would talk about the eulogy of
Avraham Avinu that he say he is lifter
happy.
We need like we when we want to speak
about somebody we have to say like crazy
20 or crazy stuff.
To me like simple he
He brought joy to people that's like
that's crazy. That's like that's
There's hardly much more you can say
about a person that is
he lifts the spirits. When we describe
Hashem
When we describe Hashem he's
slave time.
The if you want to know God he brings
to people that are that are down to
that's like a
of Hashem.
slave time. It's a it says about Hashem
that that's a we have to
look it up. slave
time. To give
suppressed oppressed people
pushed down that's like a
of Hashem.
So your whole family Hashem should send
to all family but and the legacy of
Nochi. I want to say we all should be
that parts of ourselves that just wants
value it. I say not to force it like be
good to other people it's in us the
wants it let's celebrate that. When you
see it that's like that's God that's an
expression of godliness when you
experience that. So Nochi's precious
should have an aliyah and we should be
following those ways bring chaos,
you You a big thing it is, Daniel, to go
into a dorm room randomly and just crack
a few jokes? It's like
you're literally bringing eternity. It's
like everything in the room. It's It's
an It's a light. It's an urn to the
room. Go into the room, Daniel. You have
this chaos.
You crack some jokes.
Sing a quick song. Sing one lazy who the
one time through.
Shalom shalom aleichem.
Thank you.
I want to welcome Yakov Keminsly back.

Mice you Were you were there?
Yeah.
You're waiting to to watch them
And then DRS you'll get to see them.
Get to see them mice you.
You don't mind I'm going to repeat the
rebel list that I want to repeat. I want
to share something first from the rebel
that's that I just found fascinating.
It reflects something mice that I think
I'm curious what you think about this.
Rashi brings
Yakov. Yakov's from Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh's one of the centers of
Chabad. New England Pittsburgh. His
friend's from Pittsburgh as well. What's
your friend's first name?
Izzy. Welcome Izzy to Yeshiva. Welcome
Izzy. So, Izzy and Izzy. Welcome Rabbi
Izzy as
I want to shalom I want to share with
you something the Rebbe Yechiel, listen.
What job last night? Welcome home,
Yechiel.
Something [applause] Something the Rebbe
says at the beginning of Toldos,
the Rebbe asked as follows, it says the
late Sunday Adar we're saying that
Yitzchak Avinu was not from Avraham
Avinu.
>> [cough]
>> They were claiming that Sarah Imeinu was
married to Avraham for decades and had
no children. It can't be Yitzchak. They
were doubting the miracle that Yitzchak
came from Sarah Imeinu.
And the late Sunday Adar were
challenging the miracle.
And they made up stories that maybe
Yitzchak comes from Avimelech. Avimelech
had kidnapped Sarah Imeinu. And they
were saying crazy things that Yitzchak
did not come. We don't believe
such a miracle. She's an old lady. They
doubted the miracle. Now, of course, the
Nes Hashem Pirsumei Nisa is a topic of
today. It's a topic all year, but
Chodesh Kislev, being mefaresh the Nes
is a huge Sugya to publicize the Yad
Hashem, that Hashem runs the world. And
when somebody has a miracle happen to
them, Pirsumei Nisa is a big deal. It's
a big Sugya to be mefaresh
Shem Hashem Baruch Hu by them. You
experience Hashem, comfortably tell
people about it. Comfortably tell people
about you. I experienced Yad Hashem.
Share with others. And Nisim wake people
up. Hashem runs this world. And Nisim
wake up people to Hashem running the
world. We get used to things. And we
forget to mention it. And Nisim we
forget to acknowledge it and to see it
and to experience it. Through a Nes
arouses a person. Ramban in Parshas Boi,
the very purpose of a Nes is to be
aroused to see Hashem in day-to-day
life, to experience Hashem.
So, people were doubting the nice of
Sarah having Yitzchak.
Comes Hashem and he makes he does
another nice
doesn't say a miracle comes Hashem and
Rashi brings what Hashem do.
The
late Sanei Adoraim the scoffers of the
generation were saying "May have you
milk the Sarei Sarah." That Sarei Menu
did not give birth to the child from
Avram he's an old man it came from
Avimelech.
I shouldn't say it wasn't from Sarah
they agreed from Sarah they said it
wasn't from Avram.
Don't make the nice bigger Sarei Menu
was a miracle but it wasn't from Avram.
They were mocked and they made the nice
smaller they said Sarah was nice Avram
from Avimelech.
She
was with Avram so many years and didn't
have a child. So,
what Hashem do to be my friend same the
nice Sarah class to punish the diamond
Avram. Hashem formed the face of
Yitzchak that it should look like Avram.
Yitzchak look like his tata.
So,
everybody was able to say this child is
a child of Avram. The nice was before
some
Here Avram is an old kid would be
miraculous it was a miracle for Sarei
Menu and Avram to have a child but
people Sanei Ador from Sarah I apologize
was undeniable the baby came from Sarah.
That Avram was the father of the child
one can deny.
And the late Sanei Ador said this child
did not come from Avram Avinu.
And Hashem in his wonderful pierce my
nice to publicize the miracle we
discussed that Avram and Sarei Menu made
a soda after Sarei Menu stopped nursing
Sarah stopped nursing
they made a very very public soda public
face because they wanted to be
the nice person and
to spread the word
miracles
and nice.
And here
try to be
try to lower the nice and they said
didn't give birth to
maybe maybe Sarah was a miracle enough
but it wasn't from
so what did
do he was a cluster of
foreign
face to look like
so everybody said this child the child
of undeniably.
After
the children always look like their
parents usually I bet most guys here
look like their fathers typically a
child looks like their Tata.
So what's the
what's this
circle like there's something happened
uniquely here it's always that way so
what's the
of cluster of
that's like always that way most most
kids in the world you know who their
father is and people can't deny it just
look.
What do you say to the question
what
start a question never.
I like real I'm not the rebel was an
honest dude was trying to learn
here it says so
says is a good look like the mama.
I do want to say even most people that
look like their mother you can tell who
their father is most people.
So but it could only look like the mama
and you could say here I shall make sure
that it looks like the father.
Yeah yeah there are different features
but usually you can sense it's the
father now I agree to
start my says who says this is
craziness.
This child in a way the Rebbe is
learning and I do want to say Marsha it
says what Hashem do with there's like a
response. My
there's a problem with
sir
it sounds like a unique thing was done
here.
It should say that in this case like
it's now every time it could be we're
reading it wrong and
here even like the even like the scene
what Hashem do this sounds like
something that needs to be a surgery and
I make this one it literally what?
Yeah like he did a whole what's he doing
so much? What happened this one look it
literally even the
Hashem Marsha this child is 50/50 this
one looked like Avram.
Sir
punim sounds like there was an operation
a surgery as that.
Why do you need a surgery?
Is he hear the question the Rebbe asked?
What?
I think it's a solid question Yakov.
But it says he made his face cluster
punim did something with the face. What
were you saying Yosef?
Somebody said that
Yosef is intelligent somebody said a
little baby right away a day or two old
doesn't look so much like anybody. They
look usually look like a dry very dried
out. Yosef says second one. Sir cluster
punim should be a
right away could take time.
Nice job.
>> [laughter]
>> Yeah that's a Yosef said.
>> [laughter]
>> Really?
Why?
But everyone saw that
she was labor, like oh, now we know this
episode. Then the kid was born like, oh,
forget it.
Right. I'm just reading I'm reading the
ration.
But the sound
but the sounding like a
the sounding like something was done. Us
Turk when 50% of kids look like their
father, so sounding like some unique
surgery is necessary.
I'm not I don't mean to
He's [laughter]
He's right.
He's right. You've experienced that also
I like have no opinions and Mark can you
say we have no opinions and the latest
like he looks exactly I don't know who I
And what's funny Adar and what's funny
Adar, they're all women.
>> [laughter]
>> What kind of kosher?
Could be it could be.
Moe the
The Reb The Reb has said The Reb has
said something so interesting. The Reb
has said that I I like I like a detail
The Reb has said you don't have to be
mask of this kosher. Sometimes you have
to address this kosher. The Reb has said
something that I found very unique. He
said that
if there's a physical resemblance is
from the space that there's a deep
similarity to the to the to the parent.
The Reb has said that Yitzhak's Gevurah
Avraham's Chesed in Svari should not
look like Avraham at all.
He says the and I always feel the
physical world reflects spiritual
truths.
If the kid looks like the father cuz he
has
he has like a lot of stuff like his
father.
Yitzhak whose Gevurah and Avraham's
Chesed by all Svari the Reb has said
should look like you have to do research
on this. I never looked at it this way
when a kid looks like his father he'll
be like his father.
He looks The Reb claims he's making a
cool claim. He says the parent you look
like there's a big similarity to him in
turn out in a deep way. And he says I've
Ramos has Yitzchak's
in Sefarad they shouldn't look. The
of Sarah lasted upon is that
he was completely not like him and I
shouldn't look like him. Sarah
is a surgery here. He formed
what it should have been because
Yitzchak's very different. Yitzchak's
Abraham's cousin.
That's what the Rebbe says. I like this
a lot more and we have to stop like now
it's funny I never was big in this what
does the kid look like? I don't know
like leave me out of this. I'm very
curious now.
I'm curious now to study on kids if they
look like mama do they have more of the
men? Obviously you can't say 100%.
I still miss this something you've
observed in your life?
I haven't like not yet I didn't know but
the Rebbe says that if they physically
look is a reflection of spiritual things
and I Yitzchak spiritually was not like
Abraham shouldn't look like Abraham. I
you need
Sarah
upon of that I shall like form them to
be like that's
Very very very good.
Oh that's good.
I want there's something I want to learn
in the parish but there's a lot of
guests is he's here we have we have
him.
We have we have

Thank you, Shloime.
Rebbi, is this concept of Kedusha like
spiritual that resembles that physical?
Is that a Kedusha, like the concept? I
don't know. It's pashut, no?
What's the other side?
Physical shouldn't reflect that Rebbi.
That's what I like about you. No, no,
no, I'm not I like when you see
examples. I'm not fighting the world of
Hashem. I'm just like I like that some
concepts are pashut, right?
It's too early in the morning, Shloime.
So nice.
It might be, yeah. I'll lower the key a
little bit.
Rebbi
Rebbi, someone's not so grob in the
game. You know what she says in the Olam
Hazeh? What does that mean?
Unless like we just don't see right.
What was the case?
You the wasn't grob

>> Yitzchak Yitzchak Avinu is thanking you,
Schlemiel.
Yitzchak Avinu asks He asks who he
thinks is Esau to please go trap him an
animal. He wants Esau to be Amal. He
wants Esau to work hard and keep it up.
Esau has physical skills.
And Yitzchak Avinu was Machia that
there's a place for physical strength
and talent that matters. That matters
physical strength. And he tells him, "I
want you to trap animals for me and do
keep it up in the game."
Yitzchak Avinu had that aura. In the
world of service of Hashem, physical
things matter. If somebody's strong, if
somebody is good good-looking, if
somebody's charismatic, if somebody's
artistic, all the physical skills matter
in the world of service of Hashem.
There's a place.
In the Beis Medrash, it's not like
there's There's the guy who likes is the
biggest masmid in the Beis Medrash and
other things don't matter. Things
matter. If a guy's an artist, in the
world of service of Hashem, there's a
big space for an artist. If a guy is
good-looking, in the world of service of
Hashem, good looks. If a guy is
physically strong, in the world Things
matter in the Beis Medrash.
A yeshiva has to reflect this. Reb Meir
Shapiro was strong at this. It's a Titus
in the Beis Medrash. If there's only
given over, it's not teaching Torah. If
it's only giving over that only a
certain thing is like precious in the
service of Hashem, that's extremely
extremely dangerous. I remember one of
our chevra was a guitarist.
And the rebbe said to him, a
well-meaning rebbe who didn't understand
life so well, he said like I hope one
day you break your guitar. He told him
such [music] a lie.
It was a tremendous misunderstanding of
life, tremendous perversion of life. We
are musical ability and skills have a
place in the base medrash. Have a place
in the world of service of Hashem. And
Yitzchak in recognizing that, of course,
says to Esau that I want you to trap me
an animal. You're physically gifted,
you're strong. Be mechabed your father,
bring back an animal and I'll bench you.
Use your talents and your skills. You're
great. You know how hard it is to trap
an animal?
Such a skill, such a the strength and
the the dexterity, the the capacities.
And Yitzchak in recognizing this, he
gives Esau a task.
And it's a deep understanding of an Esau
and what an Esau's role and purpose is.
And I'll celebrate says, "Take your
sword that's so important to you and go
catch me and go go at it hard, Esau, and
go be matzliach and come back and I'll
bench you. There's such a space for you,
Esau."
And of course, we know that it was
Yaakov Avinu who was dressed up.
And and Yaakov Avinu comes back. He
comes back having having gotten an
animal. He comes back, but he's back
very fast.
And
Yitzchak's Yitzchak's like shocked that
he's Bayom Yitzchak el beno. Yitzchak
says to his son, "Ma zeh mehartah litzod
beni?" You came back so fast. I know
you're athletic. I know you're talented,
but wow, you're back fast."
And Yaakov Avinu dressed up as Esav
responds to Yitzchak, "Hashem
is the one who found me." "Hashem, my
God, appeared tonight. It was like a
miracle.
It should take much longer, but Hashem
made me find this very quick. He gave it
up to Hashem."
Says Rashi,
says Rashi, this got Yitzchak Avinu
very, very confused.
Says Rashi,
Yitzchak Avinu
said in his heart, "Ain derech Esav
Hashem shamayim shoger befiv."
Esav doesn't quote God so much.
This is Yitzchak Avinu
quoting Hashem.
Esav doesn't do this. This is Yaakov
Avinu
Yaakov speaks a lot about Hashem. Yaakov
talks about God.
That's a meter of Yaakov Avinu and he's
surprised that Esav doesn't talk like
this. This threw him off. Esav doesn't
mention Hashem. The man doesn't say
Hashem a lot. Now, first I want to talk
about Yaakov Avinu that he talks about
Hashem a lot.
In Zichron Yaakov in the summer, many of
us are able to be around the Rebbe in
the summer, around the Rebbe.
And I'm always amazed that it's Hashem
shamayim he talks about Hashem
comfortably.
I sat in a I sat in a doctor's office
with a guy and they said Hashem's name.
I was very uncomfortable.
And I felt I think I was uncomfortable.
Felt very forced. It felt like they were
preaching to me.
Didn't feel natural and comfortable. So,
it's like,
"Stop trying to like don't wear your
religion. Don't don't push me. You're
like preaching to me. I'm just in a
doctor's office. Don't preach."
But when the rabbi speaks about Hashem,
it's like normal. Talks about Hashem
comfortably. When you see him when when
you see him standing your shoes and then
Hashem comes up a lot. Hashem
It's like comes up in like casual,
comfortable conversation with God. It
just comes up. Of course,
Hashem gave us some gives us things.
Hashem takes care of us. It's It's real.
And a very present person is very at
ease. And the guys here have changed our
changed my life.
Guys here, a 10th grader here, I believe
talks and thinks more about Hashem than
I did in 10th grade. Learning Learning,
putting in the big hours, whatever it
is. And guys here is a tremendous God
conscious that people are aware of
Hashem, remarkably busy with Hashem.
God, Hashem and thinking about Hashem.
And a Yid who makes 100 brachos a day,
this is like basic to a Yid. I've heard
speakers and nobody Nobody means bad.
I've heard speakers speak for an hour,
crazy good shmooze, and the person
didn't say God once. They said such a
shmooze, so many cool subjects, mothers
have played it. And chesed, the person
didn't mention Hashem once.
Now, I'm not saying that anybody should
feel guilt. And certainly, we could say
message to self before a speech today.
I'll make sure you say Hashem's name.
I'm not talking about forcing and
pushing it on others. I'm talking about
being more conscious ourselves.
Being more conscious and present. We're
people who think Hashem. We got to We
got to We're going to go to lunch in a
few minutes. Thank you, Hashem. Baruch
atah Hashem, Elokeinu Melech ha'olam.
Thank you, Hashem. Thank you. We're
thanking Hashem. A guy asked me in
Yeshiva this week. A guy said that his
friend his he Somehow he said zimmun
when he was going to do zimmun, and his
friend said I don't bench.
Okay, I'm sorry.
So, he said, "But I thank Hashem always.
After I eat, I thank Hashem."
And the bachur by us said to me, he
said, "I bench, but I don't thank
Hashem."
Then he said, "Which one he he Which one
do I think is better?"
I'm not coming. We have a mitzvah to
bench, but we have to also We're
supposed to be conscious to what we're
doing with thanking Hashem. He gave us a
nice soda. Thank you, Hashem. Thank you.
Now, let's let's be conscious what we're
making brachos. Baruch atah Hashem.
She'kolam she'kolam, thank you, Hashem.
Nice. Nishma. Thank you, Hashem.
Appreciate it. Really. And Hashem, you
you like me. You're into me. You're
giving to me to be present to the truth.
You challenge me. Be angry at Hashem. Be
upset at Hashem. Why why why
You're upset at me? What what what did I
talk? Talk and be present. Yakov Avinu
in a very very comfortable way, Yishak
Shamayim mishager befi. He said, "Hashem
made it appear to me. This is just He's
just pleasant and and and present that
Hashem did it."
So, Yitzchak Avinu hears his son say it.
He's confused. Eisav doesn't talk this
way. Eisav Ramban kasha.
Eisav Ramban, but I thought Yitzchak
thought that Eisav's good.
Rashi Ramban tamah. I have a peleh on
Rashi. Yitzchak Avinu knows that Eisav's
good. He thinks that he loves Eisav.
So, how could Rashi say Yitzchak was
fooled? And Rashi brings that that
Yitzchak was fooled. He was sayid befi.
He thought Eisav was good.
So, then how could Rashi, the same Rashi
who says Yitzchak was fooled, yet
Yitzchak, defend. If Yitzchak was
fooled, Yitzchak, so then how does Rashi
bring that Eisav doesn't say Shamayim?
And Yakov And Yitzchak Avinu knew that
Eisav doesn't talk about God. I I he
knew that I thought he was fooled by
Asav.
It says the Ramban says that he says the
Ramban only and I love this Ramban and I
want to talk about this for a few
minutes.
The Ramban says that the is that
Yitzchak knew Asav doesn't say Shem
Shamayim.
And he knew Asav's very busy in worldly
things. You saw this Ramban and Ramban
says that he thought that Asav's Yiras
Shamayim was a big madreiga. He's very
tired. He doesn't want to say It's It's
from disrespect Hashem he doesn't say
Hashem's name.
That's what That's what Yitzchak Avinu
He knew Asav doesn't Asav's busy. He
knew Yakov sitting and learning Torah
and he says Shem Shamayim he could be
present to that. But he was impressed
with Yitzchak. He said that's his
madreiga.
Now I want to say it's not just a hava
mina of of Yitzchak Avinu.
Every hava mina of Yitzchak was the
acknowledgement that there's a space for
an Asav. Whatever we learn about Asav
they say that Asav was Yisro Mumar was
doing aveiros Yitzchak wasn't aware.
But Yitzchak saw two Yidden and this is
true this hava mina is true. You see one
Yid who says Shem Shamayim Shogair B'fi.
Wow. This is a person living such a
truth. Another Yid is very busy and
working and it's impressive that he
doesn't say. He thought it was a maila
on Asav. He's tired he's not a faker. He
thought that he was very impressed with
Asav. He doesn't say Hashem's name a
lot. He's so real.
Ramban speaks this out. It's the Yiras
Shamayim of Asav is such a special You
see two Yidden one davens a long Shmoneh
Esrei one davens short. I'm so impressed
with both.
The guy davens a long Shmoneh Esrei. As
that person he's mamesh so present to
Hashem he could daven a 10 minute
Shmoneh Esrei. Wow.
I see a guy rip off a Shmoneh Esrei such
Yiras Shamayim there. He doesn't want to
pretend but he wants to do with
cheshbon. He says the words he says
and that's there's such a sincerity and
an honesty and there's a job and there's
a task in
And by the way, we have times we do
both. But there's a time and Yitzchak's
impressed with Esau. He holds it's the
year of Shamayim of Esau. Not there's
there's such a space. He doesn't say
Hashem's name a lot. He's just a very
real person and that's a year of
Shamayim. There's a fear of heaven. He's
not It's not where he is. He has two
shots and either his hands are tummy.
Esau's very awesome.
But he has another shot that his mind is
on science. He's very physical. So he's
not like in a pretend. That's wrong. It
means a lot for him to say Hashem's
name.
It means a lot. It's not a simple thing.
So both the Yidden saying Hashem's name,
that's amazing. Shem Shamayim. He has
two sons and he's impressed with both.
He's impressed with the son here. What's
going on here? This is not just a Hava
Amina.
Yaakov Yitzchak Avinu has two sons. One
is says Hashem's name and one doesn't.
See say good guy, bad guy. Yitzchak's
impressed with both. He's no good.
Impressed Yaakov Avinu's Shem Shamayim
and and he Yitzchak can give Musar to
Esau. He doesn't give Musar to Esau.
He doesn't call Esau aside and say you
should say more about Hashem. He's blown
away by Esau. This is his son.
Yitzchak can give Musar.
He held that what was the mistake? What
was other Aveiros he wasn't aware of.
But the not saying Shem Shamayim, there
was an honesty. He was like very proud
of his son. The Ramban says it was a
year of Shamayim that he's tired with
other things. He doesn't bring out Shem
[cough] Shamayim.
Did Yitzchak have his year and not say
Shem Shamayim either? It doesn't say.
It's interesting. Do we ever find on
Yitzchak Shem Shamayim Shev of interest?
It's actually the meat of of Yitzchak's
year of Shamayim. I suspect he wasn't
tired in science. I suspect he would say
Shema Hashem. Says specifically
reflected Asav has a job. He's very
busy. He's arranging things and I
respect him. And he's careful. He
doesn't just throw it around. And he
said that for Yira Shamayim there's
there's a madrig.
From Yitzchak's Hava Amina Asav we learn
so much. Different people have different
roles and different way of expressing
their roles. And it's sit cuz that you
could be within your role within your
matzah. I'm like extremely moved Daniel
by this Ramban.
And then each person in an honest way
being comfortably where they are. One
person is busy working and and there's
an impressive aspect and that could be
used for Sham Shamayim. And even that
person with Yira Shamayim is not going
to be Sham Shamayim
like Yaakov and and Yitzchak's very
comfortable and happy with that. And not
not criticizing that. What a Yira
Shamayim. He's like proud of his son who
doesn't say Sham. Now Mr. Ramban says
this. But for Yira says busy with the
tsiyad. He's busy so he's working on
him. And he's doing By the way he'll
support Yaakov Avinu. By the way he'll
bring to Yitzchak matana. Right now he's
very engaged and he's not going to fake
something.
That's the That's this Ramban. I'm like
very very moved by the Hava Amina. Now
the maskana is not he's wrong. He should
have been doing it. Maskana is there
were other aveiros ketsiyad bashev. This
how the Ramban says pshat in the
I'm incorporating
Rehersh here.
Huh? I own way of learning, you know.
You just said I'm incorporating Rehersh
here.
You just said that. Yeah.
Mordy called you out like two minutes
ago. Oh, you ready? Okay.
I'm not I'm not fighting Rehersh. I'm
learning Chumash. I'm pashut coming. I'm
like really impressed how Yitzchak
relates that he says there was some
pigam it could be in the zaris mel
mazurasim if
I'm not like arguing with him.
What are you saying Yitzchak?
I thought he so you would make Yitzhak.
Oh, Daniel, I'm sorry.
Yaakov is like a smart guy, no?
Silly. Why would he do the whole like
Hashem is legendary thing?
He wouldn't do that. That's a great
question.
That's very, very strong.
Daniel asked a bomb kasha. Daniel says
you're trying to be Esau and you say
words. It's like a This is like the
worst costume ever. He has a job to
play. And Yaakov it's law it's Why is
this law said on Yaakov? You know, Esau
doesn't do that. And Amram Yitzhak
believe Esau doesn't do that. So, he
didn't role-play very well. He's He's
being Esau.
I don't want you Don't settle for bad
answers, you know. It was so natural he
couldn't He was very smart. It's a bomb
kasha, Daniel. Daniel said It's not like
a child It's a bomb kasha. He's being
Esau.
And Esau doesn't do this. It's I don't
accept silly answers. You know that
It is a serious thing. You're being
Esau.
I want to ask you that according to this
Ramban that Esau not saying it was a
reflection of Yiras Shamayim, so then
possibly it's a reason It's It wasn't
highlighted as a flaw. See, if that was
a noticeable flaw in Esau, so then
what Yaakov you know says it wasn't
considered a flaw, but I'm still
bothered by it even if it's not a flaw.
Notice he doesn't do it.
Why wasn't that studied that he doesn't
do it? I wonder if it's better with the
Ramban.
Well, here this was like a noted flaw.
Yaakov talks about God Esau's schlecht
and doesn't so imitate him. Knock it
off.
If that itself was seen as an expression
of Yiras Shamayim, they're both busy
with God.
So, then just say what's natural and
comfortable. You can All you can do is
what's natural and comfortable.
I don't know if you can mirror that
because there was a sense that Esau was
present. So could be Esau sometimes when
he was in the moment would say the way
the Ramban's learning even in his not
saying was an awareness of Hashem. Wow.
So then if it hits Yaakov to say it, say
it. You're going to start You're going
to start guessing when Esau doesn't and
uh doesn't and does you're going to be
That's what I wonder with the Ramban if
it answers your kasha. The kasha is a
fist the kasha. Does the Ramban answer
his kasha to a degree it might answer
his kasha.
I'm sorry.
The Ramban's saying that but that's not
the kasha. So why do you that make
Yitzchak think you? This was the sugya
that Esau typically the maisa didn't say
it as much but because of Esau not
saying it wasn't a a lack of awareness
of Hashem. That's how Yitzchak saw and
that's how Yaakov pashed this whatever
Yitzchak saw that Esau Yaakov also saw.
That might have been more in in in line
with Esau but he says Hashem.
It was like hedging his bets. Yeah yeah
yeah.
Should have just said a little lashon
hara mikra. Interesting.
Yitz, why do you say Yitz help us this
is your sugya? What type of bad actor is
he? Uses a word that Hashem doesn't
The kasha trying to imitate Esau to say
Hashem made it a fear.
You won't
So then like it's like
It's like it it's like
You're like the this is like the double
spy like You help think yourself that
You're trying to catch me.
What's up?
>> [clears throat]
>> Yitz, why is this your sugya? What do
you say to Silverman in this? Good kasho
Daniel's kasho. Very sure.
What do I like and I make in the way I
learn the base is like a certain type of
shot tower that I don't
base like in my attack in the way I'm
attached to I'm skeptical. That's the
less that's the that's what I should
have said but the base like there's such
a life in the shot and it's like a deep
if the
in the
that I saw not saying is saying that
Jacob says
says it's also busy with him
and I saw him not saying is my I saw him
doesn't say shame he's busy with him and
and yes and Jacob thought I saw him not
saying is also talking about him
cuz I saw him not saying is right now
I'm tired so then so then I can't decide
when he says and doesn't say so then if
he if you sense now to say so say it
you're not being different than an I saw
that's that their mistake was
I'm not sure I'm not sure.
The kasho I like a lot Daniel.
What do you say to to Daniel's
kasho?
Wow. Wow. That's amazing.
says that he wants he he wants to
pretend I saw him
he's also conscious he's about to be
blessed.
He wants the blessing to come in a
certain way so yeah.
Somehow he mentions
he wants a blessing that should be a
massive like like let the blessing
reflect us I have to give like put this
into I saw him somehow.
It's more curved to the shot of what the
Torah is saying to me something like
that but I hear the base of Levy like
this double half that he
He said that that he that the base of
Levy well Isaiah
If Isaiah said the base of Levy said
that that Asav
>> [snorts]
>> that Yitzhak that Yakov thought that
Asav and Yitzhak would make sure that
nobody plays him that Asav would talk
like Yakov that would be his turn.
It's too dizzy and
Kokia Yakov came
So
you can't like predict he'll do such a
thing and clearly he didn't cuz Amaryitz
believe by this.
Clark Yitzhak and Asav didn't do that
they didn't do that cuz Amaryitz believe
by
Yitzhak said believe by he doesn't say I
shall he's talking like Yakov they
shouldn't have been surprised their plan
was a show.
No but he says Rashi's the point of
Rashi's coming to say that why he was
uncertain.
Amaryitz believe by that's why he said
come close it made him have doubt. That
shouldn't make him have doubt.
Why should he think that?
There's no that's not a problem. Sounds
like it was some sort of problem.
He thought they made a plan.
What do you say more to this to Daniel's
cashier?
Maybe to his father maybe Yakov thought
that says he was say in the fifth Asav
always behaved differently Yitzhak
So as he said he always behaved
differently.
I never behaved different.
>> [laughter]
>> Why you saying like like Esau was like
more like
>> Reb Ezzy said to his father that Chazal
said Sa'id Befein that he spoke from
speak to his dad.
So, Reb Ezzy Shlita said that since he
spoke from speak to his father in front
of his father, yet Yaakov thought that
Hosea Shem Shamayim in front of his
father.
>> [laughter]
>> In Mechaben the Chassidisha Torah,
should I tell him Reb Bonam of Shas
Koses? In Mechaben the Berich Shas Torah
that I'll end with this cuz only I was I
was going to close here Mash, but he
said the Chassidisha Torah. In the
Chassidisha Sefarim Daniel brings, it
says Esau's Kibbud Av was Nifla'os.
Esau had crazy Kibbud Av'em and the
Tana'im are Nishtane me. He said we
don't touch his Kibbud Av'em cuz he put
on he had very fancy garment from Nimrod
he stole. And whenever he would serve
his father, he would put on a fancy
garment. It's a reflection of Kibbud Av
when he would serve Yaakov Avinu would
say, "Esau and Yitzchak Avinu would say,
"Esau, can I have a drink?" He would get
him he'd wear a special garment to serve
his father. Such was his Kibbud Av.
Woo! So, he said we mamash don't touch
Esau's Kibbud Av.
So, in Reb Bonam asked, "Well, let's do
it." So, start putting on let's do it.
Like why can't we match it? It doesn't
seem like the hardest thing Daniel. So,
why don't we wear garments to serve our
fathers?
So, what he said was and he said it also
gives a a depth. Esau used to have from
talk to his father. So, stam it was like
a fruit it could be that's not the
oimek. The oimek is that in his Kibbud
Av to his father he didn't want to hurt
his dad. How many of us make such his
way in this? I don't want to hurt my
tata. So, we show our firm reside to
tata. We don't want to We don't want him
to have to put It's It's hard for him to
put up with our struggles. So, we show
our firm side to the father. So, he said
that Esau's thing in kibbud av was not
to hurt Yitzchak. He would show him a
vad edut as a truth. We all have
different statum. He would show that
from So, that's what it means he wore
bigadim to serve his father.
Means he was a metzius of bigadim. He
was a certain He looked a certain way
and behaved. It was a metzius of
bigadim. He said anachnu ami in kibbud
av there might have been such madregah,
but that's why he wasn't impacted by
Yitzchak. Since he wore a special
bigadim in front of Yitzchak and he said
we wouldn't do this. Hagahamus madregah
in kibbud av we want to be impacted by
Yitzchak. To be impacted you have to
say, "Tata, I'm struggling."
So, my mishmachavin Daniel to to good
Torah that he wore special bigadim to
serve his father. So, Daniel says we
don't we don't do that. We don't wear
special bigadim. We say, "Tata, I'm
struggling. I need Then we could receive
from the tata. If we only wear special
bigadim, we don't receive what we need
to receive who we need to receive."
That's what it says in Sefarim like
that.
So, I like Daniel's kasha. Daniel zogt
Basically, Reb Ezi, this is just
