[Music] [Applause] do me a favor Solomon just look at the camera right here and say welcome to the late partial show welcome to the make par so so parsha alright one more time welcome to the latest partial show welcome to the lake harshest show alright yes it's Reiter Oh anybody's wondering why I'm wearing this very silly hat on my head it's because I'm coming back from this it's not awesome a Bar Mitzvah you're right it's not said I should wear it every day I swear every day you hear that mom every day new hat well I just realized that he was making fun of my usual hat when he was 99 years old God appeared to our forefather Abraham to prepare him for the child he and our righteous mother Sarah were soon to have at this point in time he wasn't yet called Avraham he was called Avram over a hum of rum a righteous mother Sarah at this point in time also had a different name and it was Sarai God informed Abraham about the mitzvah of a circumcision through which he and God and later all of the Jewish people would form an everlasting covenant of love I can't even see where the camera isn't that sure if I'm looking at it Adam the first human being passed down the science of making astrological calculations astrology is a science right are they two separate subjects or a science in astrology I know just cuz I wear these glasses doesn't make me smarter Abram a - illogical calculations which showed him that he and his wife Sarai were destined to never have a child when God appeared to Abraham and told them about the circumcision he also changed his and Sarah's name Abram to Abraham and Sarah - Sarah thereby changing their destiny even according to astrology despite the fact that any Jew who is committed to God isn't found under the astrological laws that a thing astrological laws there is a fundamental difference between how God changed Sarai's name and Abraham's name I've changed saris name by removing the Hebrew letter yard from the end of her name and replacing it with the Hebrew letter hey with Avram no letter was removed only a hay was added with Sarai what happened was her name was changed from suraíh which means my princess to Sarah which is a general way of saying princess God was saying that no longer is she just my princess of my kingdom but she is a princess in general a princess of many nations I want to be a princess Avram means ruler of Ahram which was the place he was from Abram was changed to Avraham like the verse says God tells in Kiev Haman go you that Avram is the father authority figure ruler of many nations not just era and just because he'd be the ruler of many nations in places doesn't make him no longer the ruler of Ahram so no letter was removed only added God was telling every home yes you'll be the ruler of many nations but you're still the ruler of Ahram this teaches us an important lesson every single one of us has to be some sort of ruler have influence over your surroundings in any given situation this influence obviously is only to better people's lives and help them to enhance their connection to God although we're gonna go out and have influence in any situation we have to know it's the original place you came from never lose touch always keep in touch and keep working at the good things we're doing before as well as our immediate circle of influence the place where God by divine providence has us right now cannot be neglected yes you'll be the ruler of many nations but you're still the ruler of era although we should go out and have an influence and an impact anywhere we may go on any far given extreme far given extreme whatever you get what I'm saying still we must make sure never to lose focus from our immediate circle from the place we are right now by divine providence matter how far your impact is reaching in my cases these guys these boys in Muncie good job
