the relevance of every detail of the
torah in every aspect is enormous
especially so when we learn of the
journeys and the stories of our
forefathers and foreign mothers i've
wronged it's called jacqueline sarah
rifle and leia the foundation
upon which we the jewish people stand
and from whom we have received
bequeathed us an enormous amount i know
i'm using the word enormous for the
second time in what 20 seconds because
we're talking about something enormous
there are no time three an enormous
amount
of spiritual and physical blessings and
soul powers that must be tapped into i
wanna give a shout out to lady
the first of the three forefathers but
his name should be changed to avraham
and his wife's name the first of the
matriarchs the four matriarchs the four
four mothers of the jewish people sarai
should be changed to sarah
thereby changing their fate in terms of
the i don't know if everything i'm going
to say right now is valid but the idea
of
the astrological calculations and zodiac
signs and constellations and all that
stuff whatever is valid of it um as it
related to them having children which at
that point in time was they would not
merit to have a child together
but now their names were changed that
feat astrologically speaking was also
changed although we are above the whole
celestial order actually interestingly
speaking this week's four portion tells
our problem to look at the stars and
like the stars will be your children and
the word that the terror uses for look
is habit or habet which literally means
look down
and as the rabbis tell us hashem lifted
avram above the stars and said that's
how you should look at it yeah i've
created a system here but you and your
children are above this order
guys it's starting to rain you might
have to come out of the pool okay
before this whole name changing thing
sarai told abram that he should have a
child with her handmaid hagor whom we'll
hear more about momentarily and indeed
hagar had a son named ishmael it was
only after ishmael had already been born
that hashem changed the names of a
brahmana sorry to abraham and sarah and
promise abraham that he would have a
child with sarah from whom this special
nation the jewish nation would be born
of course this is yitzhak but
interestingly abram says you know what
i'll be more than content in fact i
would be happy if only ishmael
would be the one to receive all this
blessing
why would avram
say that
he knows of course how amazing how
righteous how holy sarah his wife with
whom he didn't have a child yet is
and how holler was an egyptian princess
and uh wasn't so holy well just to cut
to the chase the answer is hagar who was
an egyptian princess who converted and
said i'd rather be a maid in the
household of abraham and sorrow at that
point of roman sarah rather than be a
queen
that's even the way that her own father
pharaoh perhaps the greatest ruler on
earth at the time
that was his thinking she was
extraordinarily righteous she was
extraordinarily holy and of course she
also did her best to raise her son
yushma in this way as well and that very
simply explains to us why rahm said
i'd be totally fine with your smile
being the one
spiritual children
converts we must realize how much power
we have
you must have into this power we must
shine like the stars we already do we
just need to be conscious that we do
so we can bring our light
into every encounter with another bring
this light into everything you do
into every
part of your life
get in
rejoice
dance
love acts of goodness and kindness is
what it's all about
study more torah do another mitzvah with
more passion and energy
and
particularly if i may suggest
this week
after shabbos if you haven't yet do the
special mitzvah of kidus levana with
extraordinary rejoicing
and if you don't know what that is then
please what's that 347-719-2218
and i will gladly tell you of course not
on shabbos
have a wonderful shabbos
now that's the point we must demand
verbally from hashem
not only in our actions as we just
mentioned that's super important but
also verbally also with our words we say
we want mashiach now to hashem and
hashem listens
