Parshat Vayera: Hagar’s Hopelessness by Shira Smiles

let's talk about M that's found in our uh in our para you know we're dealing with yes and uh the root of is found in so to look at the root will give us a deeper understanding of what we're dealing with and we're going to focus in on one question tonight well let's take a look at the at the context Source number one SAR Manu has no children she has an Egyptian maid servant whose name is Hagar Sarah said Abraham um you know marry her marries her she gets pregnant then she uh her the esteem is lowered in the Hagar treats her with disdain sorry Mino isn't happy she says hello and AR says do whatever you want so in the bracket uh your ma service your hand do it as you see fit and sah dealt harshly with her so she fled from her and then she comes to the desert and Angel of hasem found her and he says what are you doing here she I'm running away from sah my mistress next Angel comes and says return to your sah your mistress and submit to your her domination another Angel comes I will greatly increase your Offspring and they will be counted for abundance and a third Angel comes behold you will conceive him the birth your son you shall name him Ismael for hasem has heard your prayer and he shall be a wild ass of a man a peram his hand against everyone and everyone's hand against him and you rule over the Nations very nice and then um the the result of that is that um she thanks Hashem for listening to her her Hera which isn't clear what Hera really is and she calls the placei that's the end of the story so I want to ask one question here and with that question we'll be able to have a deeper understanding what's going on here and that is um mega Joseph asked this question um s Mayo is told in Source Four that she I mean ha Hagar is told that she's going to have a child who's going to be a perah Adam and uh what's her reaction great Hashem you see my Affliction of those who are being Afflicted wonderful news now if most people were be told uh your child is going to be I mean Dennis the menis looks like you know a uh you know minor compared to this your child is going to be a param a and you don't want to change it and and your reaction is thank you Hashem for listening to my that's the reaction to a peram so the question that we we have here is what what was the response of Hagar to this child and why did Hagar respond in this way and in order to answer that question we really have to ask another question and that is well what is peram we are told that he will be a parad his hands against everyone and everyone's hands against him and it's Rashi notes in Source number five what does it mean a param one who loves deserts to hunt animals y this means he'll be a bandit all will hate him and attack him I mean it doesn't look so pretty this this picture that is painted here nevertheless we need to understand what per means and based on what per means we have an understanding of why um Hagar responded the way she did so my friends let's take a look at a number of understandings of what is par what is hugger's response and that's why I struggled with this title of hugger's Hope and hopelessness depending on what level you take a look so let's begin with the classic understanding of what isal is about the OS quotes this idea in Source number six and he says the following he says in the Hebrew language you first have the shame before the shame to in English you have the noun and then the adjective so you have a first you have the noun the and then you're describing him he's a right that's the way you would have a person that's an Adam G a great person we don't say G Adam we say an Adam G the person is G he's big therefore if that was going to be consistent here it should say perah a man who is wild that would be the consistent but it doesn't say that it says perah in the bracket in six [Music] says whatever's first is the essence he is going to be wild the Adam is secondary to his paranis which means that it's not that he's just going to be a wild person no he is going to be wildness at its height that is his Essence now listen to this because this is where we could just stop right here the says the following the end the six the uh the Kish tells us that he is going to be a par Adam and H and Torah is something that is eternal if it's gonna tell us he's gonna be a it's not that just the in the times of you know hugger's child it's going to be wild no he will be that is his Essence he will always be a you can take the entire civilized society and you'll try to make him civilized you will not succeed at all K he is not civilizing okay that was in English but I don't really care that was my poetic license and this is where you can have a person is could be a doctor a professor and they's still a param their Essence is this wildness I mean you see this is an because we live in you see the way the Arabs live even those who aren't bins who live in tents they're still living in pretty primitive type of existence their whole Essence is pretty primitive that's the that's the who they are and a man is this prophetic based on our lives in the DT in seven died 90 years ago side and he said o well who can even imagine what this is going to do to us in the future time wow and that's why the pad answerer in Source number eight points out that the name is is fascinating if it meant that Hashem listened to her prayer it should be in the past sh Hashem heard means Hashem will here says the what is mean the bracket name it's about the future Hashem isn't that he listened to Huger yes Hashem will listen to us he'll listen to the Jewish people's cry when yes torments us in the future my friends we could just call it a night here right here and now we have gotten into the essence of what is about peram the essence is about being a parot the essence is about being wild Adam is secondary is hasem will hear the the challenge and the pain that we experience in our lives Now notes that the description of what yma wants to do to us it's best encapsulated in chapter 124 of tum which is Source number 10 a song of a sense by David had not hasem been with us let Israel declare it now had not Hashem been with us when men rose up against us then they would have swallowed us alive when their anger was kindled against us then the waters would have inundated us the current would have surged against our souls they were surged across our souls of treacherous Waters so he explains I'm doing it out sign in Source nine there AR balal they're four different uh uh um n um Exiles there thank you there is a fifth which is is and yes's Essence is about not just creating challenges for us and giving us a hard time which was The Crusades and the spish Inquisition and again in those cases had we converted we would have been okay Yo's whole retra in life is to swallow us up completely that's the imagery if Hashem was not with us we would be swallowed up to such an extent similar to the dream of parro where in the dream of parro you didn't even know in the bracket in nine you didn't even know that the that the sheaves were were eaten that's what what is wants to do to us they want to destroy us so completely that there's nothing left of CLA Israel how does this Capital end going back to Source 10 our help is through the name of Hashem maker of heaven and Earth Source number 11 Haru we see clearly from V focusing on this capital in the as we have no other choice our only recourse is Hope my friends this is really the challenge you know we're sitting here looking at the news waiting uh uh when is there going to be a ground Invasion right we expected a ground Invasion already on Sunday it's Thursday night there's been no ground Invasion and we're like wondering what is the you know what's going on here my friends we all know every single soldier it's kados every single soldier we need a 100% but right now the battlefield is not going on on the Gaza Strip there's no ground Invasion as we speak but there is a battle going on right now and each and every one of us are the holy soldiers where is that battle gr on up in heaven are we we worthy of being saved or not where are we three bonus shum has given us an extra week to pull our troops and our forces together to make ourselves worthy of being saved and there's no end to what the ronom can do you know a glimpse of that was the the the the incident that happened a week ago with the Arabs blowing themselves up in the hospital when they're trying to send a missile and 500 of them die so my friends that could happen to the entire Gaza like there's nothing that's stopping the shalam to have this war end in a way where those who need to get uh their due judgment happened to them without losing one soldier of our and the responsibility is on us our soul Escape like a bird from the Hunter's snare the snare broke and we escape our help is through the name of Hashem Master Of Heaven and Earth and we can't lose that Focus that this is a spiritual battle and that the major part of this battle is taking place up in shim and every one of us has to be there with ouros with our hel them you know sometimes you get used to well certain things you know we just dragging on and then you you know life goes back to normal it can't this is where the work this is where the work is at let's take this one step further One Step deeper and we'll get back to Huger reaction which we haven't forgotten is the uh is the focus of of of our discussion today and that is what uh the to 13 14- 15 brings we're at the end of this page thank you are you doing great and that is yes yes I you're right you're right and we don't want to lose one more you're right you're 100% right we don't want to lose one more everyone is a world everyone is a family you're right everyone it it's it's beyond painful notes the following and he says that had a dream very famous dream that uh theil brings down and the different parts of this in his dream he sees this monster and in this dream he has uh he has the the um he has the head which is a golden head which represents the malus of B and he has the neck of silver which is um harus and he has the body of net of copper which is yon and then the feet are iron and the feet is the longer part that's M then on the bottom of the feet which is the bottom of this page you have 10 toes half are made out in the Stream of which is Earth and half are made out of iron and the RAS in Source 14 explains what are these T toes it's at the end of the Gus of edto right the the the feet are the Gedo and that the the legs and now we're at the feet and that's why this era is called the IAS the E the eev is because we are on the feet we are at the end of this uh dream half the feet five toes represent B Edo and half the toes representes which is the earth in we which we'll talk about soon why represents we are now dealing with a combination Which is far more dangerous than just Edom and alone that's it very good we're g to get to that on the next page Bingo and that is the marriage of yo as married the daughter of Yo and it's interesting when he marries her in the end of 17 the next CL says yob yob leaves it is such a powerful combination that jaob says I have to get out here and the makes a few comments that I want to do outside comment number one is he says is that Edom is a firm believer that we were the chosen people and we're no longer the chosen people and uh that's their Battleground also in the spiritual world you is very fascinating Huger fed to her son yesma that really isn't the son of Abraham he's the son of a in K and therefore we're also not the chosen people if you look at the Quran you will see that the AA isn't is is the chosen child and so we're battling the the whole idea of that the Jewish people don't have any reason to be around we were and no longer or we never even were it's the battle which tries to undermine the whole existence of the Jewish people the gr is very beautiful in 18 again we'll do the Southside and then we'll get back to our original question the girl speaks about this Capital tum that we've all been saying now during this time chapter 20 and at the end of chapter 20 we say those who are going with chariots and those who are going with horses but we are going with the calling out in the name of Hashem so the way the girl understands it and it's it's a very beautiful understanding is that a is made up of two words Al Al is Al the general each one of them Edom and is it says if there's a concept of 70 Nations each have half so Al L there's an Al there's the head of edto who has 35 Nations and those are characterized as a those are characterized by the Chariots which is technology which is you know moving forward in in in in development of the country of of the world aim Al Al 35 belong to Yo and yo is referred to as a horse which is a again the barbaric aspect the the the base aspect they're coming at us both in the re and the susim and my friends we see this today we have the Arabs who are trying to attack us and again in the most primitive way you ever seen those bombs that they make they take a tin can and they put an explosive in it everything about them is primitive not that I want them to be more sophisticated don't get me wrong no I want them obliterated as long as we're on the same page America Western Civilization comes to us with pressure of what the world thinks we are attacked from both sides you can't do this because it's not morally right we're so concerned about world opinion our hands often times are tied what is our only recourse and we have to to remind ourselves and we've been hearing this over and over again my friends but we have to integrate this there's only one recourse yes we have to have political means yes we have to have military means with and conjunction with what is primary and that's why all of these CES that are abounding is such a br because what the cus is about is about these soldiers who've never worn a cus in their life are realizing you know what we need Ron Shalom as our protection you know I just somebody sent me this week a story which perhaps You' were also sent so uh it will just be a repeat story a beautiful C story of uh Zed who is a famous speaker in the Israeli world he always has fascinating stories so a girl calls him up a young woman and says she wants she wants to uh give 6,000 shekel worth of she how much her savings is uh to by sis for the Army so he says you know you shouldn't really give all of your money it's not such a smart idea so he takes part of her money and he raises the other part so because she wanted 6,000 shekels worth of czes and he buys that amount of sitzes so far so good so he says to her okay I got those czes so she says great now bring them to the South and give them out he says what I I got them I'll send them down no no I want you to deliver them me yeah okay so he goes down to the South and uh he gets to a certain point and the Army stops him and says you can't go any further he said there are three terrorists who are out on the uh loose we caught two of them and one of them is around and someone's not an army Personnel we're not letting on Beyond this point he says you have to understand I have sites blah blah blah the whole spiel so they give him a army uh a top army guy in his Jeep with Army in front of him and army behind him and it's interesting the way the story goes is that this very high Army official says when push comes to show and we have to you know look at what happened and how dides it happen he said the answer ultimately is going to be it's reot who uh who who was in charge of all of this I mean okay so they come down to the S base and R that he starts giving out situs beautiful so he sees a soldier a bit away and he about to go to him to give him a pair of cus and the soldier goes like this so he stops and but he still wants to give them CES so he takes it you know the CES rolls it up in a bowl and he throws it well it was a little bit windy down there and it went onto a bush in the bush was where the Mel was where the terrorist was hiding and he suddenly sees something hanging on his head and his automatic reaction because he was startled was to jump up and they shot him and that's how they found him so this is a beautiful story I like happily ever ending stories in terms of we don't we think that the S protects Us in this way sh knows how and when the will help knows how and when ouros will help which is next week's year we are limited in our vision now having said all of this my friends now we come to the following idea and it's going to make us feel very uncomfortable and I know it's going to make us feel uncomfortable and I really struggled do I teach this or not and I said I'm going to teach it so Source number 19 Han here we go what our forefathers do for us impacts us and there's a lot of goodness that they've done that's impacted us tremendously and Sarah dealt harshly with her so she fled from her ran says the following he says was Sarah justified in her treatment of Hagar ran States his opinion our matria Sarah again on her level sinned in this oppression of Hagar as said arino sin for allowing her to do so God therefore heard her prayer and gave her a son who would be a wild ass of a man to oppress the descendants of ab and Sarah with all sorts of Oppression measure for measure obviously if we don't deserve it it will not happen it goes hand in hand ultimately Hagar is told because ultimately this is an illusion that Hagar would never gain freedom from her and ultimately we are going to be Victorious on this the mega Jose says the following our original question what what how do we understand huger's response she's told that her child is going to be a param she is happy there is nothing that makes her happier than to get even with abah ainu and Sarah IMU when she hears this continuing in 20 she says you are the the the Kell you the one who has heard my prayer because this is what I want more than anything else is to be able to take revenge wow amazing and he says the following he says you see mothers who are happy I I can't even say this I can't even say this statement because it's so goes against our grain How could a mother be happy for a child to do a suicide mission I can't get the words out weird as this come from it comes from Huger who is happy that her child is going to oppress clra and this is something that remains within their genetic DNA to do whatever they need to do in order to destroy us that my friends is like the number one for tonight idea number two for tonight so that's why I I played with the title Huger hope this was her hope her hope wasi I should have a child a that's idea one idea two what is a param source 23 raon quotes the sworo the sworo says Y is the possessor of a double Heritage from his mother's side he's a perah he is a a wild ass a passion for Independence a thirst for freedom from his father's side he's an adum an aspiration to human Perfection you know today we call these split personalities he's a peram he has two different signs to him as uh points out in Source that didn't want anyone above her she didn't want to have anyone tell her what to do and how to do it so if that's the personality of the mother is it any wonder that the child follows through no one's going to tell him what to do he'll do whatever he feels like but yet my friends he has another side to him and that other side to him is his abu's child and a we know was the rosh he was the big Believers so what does this combination look like somebody who refuses to take that's like this animal this perah it's like this mule that doesn't want to have any yoke on it like you know wild let's you know let me be so he has that aspect and yet he has the as ofu which is very much amuna when you put this combination together my friends you have big trouble top of this page 24 this is from M shabir quotes and he says the following theira isn't keeping them in check their desires their is what propels them what ignites them to do whatever they want they don't make their will God's will they say that what ever they're doing is the will of God and we know this before they go on these missions they say in in the name of God that's the idea in a in a metaphorical way when ainu sees the next week's parisha these Arabs again this is imagery um and he says wash the dust off of your feet and Rashi says you know get rid of your well my friend since when have you you seen people worship dust they've worship trees and stones and many different things stars moon but when do they worship dust and the answer is when you live a life that wherever you go you say this is God's will so the dust of my feet is that imagery of I create this reality and that's what yal is about this combination is a dangerous ination because if a person's able to say well you know God told me that I have to restrict myself and and hold back I get it but when you're feeling like I can do whatever I want then we're in trouble and there's another aspect of having the name of Hashem the amuna and that is we know and this is 25 we'll do outside isal and is are the only two Nations that have the name of Hashem in their name they have that amuna built inside of them they also have a bris orbe it not a full bris as CL Israel and they really believe that AR Israel belongs to them andal tell us as long as we are not holding where we should be holding then they get a hold on the land as soon as we are able to to come back to this level of belief then we will be able to get back AR Israel so to a certain extent now um let's move down to the bottom of this page the asteris here just one stop that's good perfect the asteris if we ourselves aren't going to strengthen ourselves in wants to give usel but he wants us to give it it deserve it that we are really holding by so when we're not holding in that level of closeness to hem it's it's G to be's job you tell to bring us back to that place and that is what ishma does by acting out in this way it is immediate for us hasem uses them as a tool for us to get back to that level of auna that Hashem wants from us wow you know what's so amazing my friends is that you learn these sources and it's like living the history it it's like you're reading the paper today like this is is where it's at now Huger hear that her son's going to be a par them he's going to be wild he's going to use the in his own way and he's going to be destructive what is his her reaction 29 she's silent okay great so have a child like this contrast this with rif Manu has a child who's running to go out to the Bora she gets really excited she goes to Hashem and she says L why is this me why am I having this she doens continue on the next page Huger is silent and this and now we understand why is the telling her this like you know most people don't want to hear that their kids are going to be Bandits wild a and uh you know murderers when turns out that way okay why make her feel bad before you have to bracket the air she knew that Huger wasn't going to be pained at all he be GL she wasn't going to ask hasem she was just going to take this has his so that's why I I don't know if I did well with the title that's why I put in this hopelessness but hopelessness is probably the wrong word it's this um this feeling of okay so this is what it is a and it just gives you a sense of what we're dealing with here that someone isn't concerned that their children are like this what does it say about Hunger what type of mother is she to this type of nation now I want to take this like aide of of the Huger in in in this mix with a fascinating rough hsh and and and it's just fascinating to understand this book here let's start on the top here in Source number uh good 39 what does it mean that she Afflicted her so the the same root is the root of Ana to be in dependent on somebody the like to answer somebody the common inary of these two meanings was state of being or gesture caused by someone else to make someone feel his dependence this was the condition in which the Fulfillment of Sarah's intention dependent that Huger should remain subservient to her Huger must remain s's made servant and she couldn't handle this she I can't be um I can't be like this so let's move down at 32 listen to our verse it's fascinating so uh she runs away and the M says where are you running she says uh I can or I will no longer be a servant and then we have three Angels coming back to back so we look at it as one continuous conversation but her says that there are three separate statements the first expresses a condition the second a promise the third a mission and a favorable outcome Watch What Happens first the angel says return of your own free will submit to sorrow of your own free will this sacrifice is a condition for what is to follow recognize of your own free will sah Supremacy this recognition will leave its impression on your child and he'll grow up under s's educational influence and he'll be a good child so the first thing Hagar is told R her is go back you'll have a kid and everything will be fine he'll be a great boy he'll grow up beautifully she doesn't budge I'm not interested okay next Angel comes okay in return for the sacrifice on your part going back your Offspring will in Incas greatly there will be too many to count not interested I'm stay put third Angel comes your descendants will be the freest of all mankind this is sufficient for Hunger under these terms she's ready to submit wow what does hugger want she wants this she wants the par she wants her child to be as free as her she doesn't want to be under suru she doesn't want him to grow up to be a mench this is her hope this is what she wants and that's a crazy combination that yesal has from the father there is you know great philosophers from yesal but at the same time from the mother there is this lack of being able to take myself and submit it to the to a higher form to submit it to something greater than myself it's that freedom to do whatever I want my friends again you look today you know there's the Geneva conference there's basic um International rules and fighting we all know that part of those International rules is you do not take elderly women and children captives what are you thinking and I'll tell you what you're thinking you're param you do whatever you feel like no one is going to tell me what to do that is the essence of hugar and that is why she is thrilled when she's going to have a child who's just going to be like her you know it's interesting if you flip the page or go down the page I guess you don't flip Han you you go down oh very good that's an excellent question why don't we need to erase them like a molik that is an excellent question and I I I I don't have a good answer for you but I think part of the answer is that they have the a ofu in them amalik doesn't have that at all amalik is riches to its end degree yesma amalik has no redeeming quality you does and that's the second part of this year which I'm not there yet so don't go offline till I finish and then you'll get your answer okay because it was a great question so thanks for asking now let's go down a little bit further next para sends hugar away and there's no water what does hugar do she cast her child she she throws her child under one of the thorn bushes hello that's what you do to your children you throw them under a thorn bush what are you thinking and the answer is that mother that concern that love and that concern for human life is missing in Hagar's repertoire it will be missing in is's repertoire and it's missing in their repertoire today and that is why they can send out people and so they get killed so you'll send out more and they get killed the value of human life doesn't exist which by us as was mentioned before 300 soldiers 300 soldiers is 300 worlds every Soldier it's like we're inconsolable the difference between the two okay my friends let's summarize what we've seen till now and then I want to flip it on its head and that's the beauty of learning and now we also respond to this question that was asked why don't we destroy them like a mik so idea number one param you're GNA be a per Adam not an Adam perah Huger says amazing I can't wait to get back at SAR imanu and her descendants for all time she's thrilled idea number two it's that combination of hugar and a ofu and she just takes it a fade complete okay so love a child like this big deal it doesn't it doesn't concern her in any way idea number three this is what she wants she wants this type of child this is her hope I want freedom I don't want to be told what to do my friends if that were the case then we have Yar doomed to be destructive and then it takes away any so now let's step back and look at this from a different perspective and that's why learning has so many levels to it do you ever wonder and ask yourself the question why was Huger chosen like wasn't there a better candidate to be aru's wife this is ainu what what was s Manu thinking here take hugar like what's going on here so there's beautiful piece I'm moving down on this page that uh is found in Source number 39 echoed in 37 and 38 okay and it's the following we know that let's start with 37 Hagar was a princess she was the daughter of param and her father explained you're doing great 37 don't don't don't go anywhere it is better perfect that she serve as a servant of in this house there'll be a princess in another's house Huger also happened to be the granddaughter of nimrod which is very fascinating hence in effect Hagar was also the seed of Canan to understand Hagar it's imperative to First understand elezar the disciple of Abraham Eleazar was a son of themr who had given elzar to AB as a gift elzar possessed a Holy Soul which was entangled in a well of unholiness by the children of k kick into that now now elar was not a servant in the conventional sense he was actually ab's disciple who committed himself to his teacher in the fullest sense of the T the T refers to elzar as domestic elzar elzar domestic the gamor interprets this to mean go go down down down down down down down down 38 38 no up up up up up up up up good perfect amazing Drew and provided for others from his master's teaching Abraham taught to the men while Sarah taught to the women now let's explain what's going on here ready watch this a aino had a what we call a chief disciple and that Chief disciple was Eleazar what was elzar's job elzar's job was to take the Torah from Ab know to teach it to all the people S taught the woman the woman also needs somebody to go over the teachings of saru and be able to teach it to the women who was that person Huger Huger wasn't somebody who just slept the floor you know that's how we learned it in third grade you know she was the maid servant you know it's like you're a Spanish maid that's what you know you would teach in La no she was a great person she was a princess she had royalty in her and this I'm doing it outside in 39 the says the following that when a took Huger as a wife SAR IMU then said you know gave her respect you're now the wife and what did Huger do with this respect Huger said well if I'm now the wife what does it mean that she lessen Sarah in her eyes but man she said to Sarah if I'm the wife I can have now my own Torah I can now be one who's going to not be the not to be the one who's going to but rather I'm going to be able the one who's going to teach it myself and there s Manu said no no no I draw the line you want to be the matur kaban you're worthy but for you you to teach Torah you're not on that level what was the enoi what was the Affliction she took away her students she said you can't be the r Yeshiva and for her that was the anoint that was the Affliction so now my friends we understand that when Huger comes a running away from suro why is she worthy to see so many angels because she was a spiritual person she she desired spirituality she she she yearned for spirituality but it was limited and that brings us to the next page I'm getting my uppers and downs right perfect 41 the kadua Ley Thea slavy just came out in English uh art scol just put it out Hever saw the Angel's own Angelic form and consequently was our frighten the implication here is that experiencing spirituality is something divorced from materiality is not threatening we can all have spirituality as long as it's confined to its native realm what is threatening is the notion that spirituality can combine with materiality and inform it thus a non-jewish hugger was not troubled by the appearance of an angel in Angelic form since this Vision does not carry any moral consequences that's the key line see Angels spiritual believe in God ah you want that to impact my life you want me to be a menal there I drew the line and that is the challenge and that's the difference between you on us it's about being able to take that spirituality and be able to have that humility in front of God at the same time we see that there was a a greatness to huger a a a great spiritual value but again not without the ability to have it conform in the language of theas to carry any moral consequences with this in mind my friends when hugar is told that her children will be let me just read this whole question and then I'm going to be able to how can we say that harer sin by flicting hugger when she hugger serves as her spiritual assistant so again would you say that she was uh that she sinned that's the ran that says that she sinned according toad she didn't necessarily SL because the said what go back and so the idea of her sinning is according to the ra move the ran out here this is what she was supposed to do and uh was to put in her place and this was not a sin at all this is what uh this is what she was meant to do so again we have to be careful to separate me first in their ideas good question to know now according to this what does it mean he's aam so you look at the and you look at the they translate peram very differently the caban 42 says peram is the idea of to multiply that this is a further in the double underline he'll multiply he'll become great so to be a peradam we understood peradam as a wild ass of a man rabbi arsc and how could you have a son like this and how come she doesn't respond and this is what she wants whoa Rabbi art SC is translating there are other ways of translating peram peram could mean that he will be fruitful and multiply and that's why she says thank you hashm for such a br and that's why she takes it with in in such a way the says he will be a merchant and that's the idea of Y coobo he will be involved in transactions with people this is going to be his his lot now why this is important is twofold one is why we don't destroy ismo because ismo could and has the potential to utilize the positive in their name they could be multiplies which they are they could be Merchants they could be a peradam in a in a different type of way so the fact that we say a peradam is negative is only because we've been Translating that way according to but there are other ways of translating param because there's other ways of understanding hugar and there's a beauty in hugar and there's a greatness in Hagar and yesal had the ability to take that and become great and utilize it final idea for today we know that ishma did not take that path that is took the path of peram so the question for us and this will be our final question for today is what is our response if we're dealing with this combo of Edo for four of Ed and what is our response so he brings down here the um in the in the bracket the malal amuk maleos points out that spiritually asov is compared to the kipat shore to the ox and Y is compared to theor to the donkey right by the stay here with the his mother's from Egypt EG Egypt is connected to donkeys the counter spiritually to a Shore in Ox is Yos ysf is referred Tolo is referred to as an ax the counter to the spiritually is is referred to as a donkey in the bracket on the left hand side here sure is y is a paradigm for and is who's a paradigm for Torah that's why back in the arrow on the right hand side the gar hedin says the students RAR ask what should a person do and be saved mashia from the birth pangs of mashia the answers T Torah and go hand in hand it's the two voices my friends this is our response today what is our job to counteract this combination of Ed and is these 10 toes we have to have the mindset of Yos which is acts of kindness and we have to have the mindset of Torah and which is the mindset of what you is about that is the response that we need and we'll end with the final source the next page we say in the last paragraph of um Maur we say going down down down down down down down we say yesu bear your holy arm and hasten the end for salvation Avenge the Vengeance of your servants blood from the wicked Nation for the Triumph is too long delayed for us and there's no end to days of evil and then we say repel the red one in the nethermost shadow and establish for us the Seven Shepherds and he points out that the admon clearly is Edom who is red and the tone who is in the shadow of Edom which means who is not a mouthless his own right but has come as the shadow of the final malus of Ed the shadow is and this is what we D for and and this my friends is is is our wor right now to be able to understand this battlefield of absolutely we need to be fighting on the physical Battlefield don't don't in no way we are we are you know you know we are lessening that's important it's crucial at the same time we can't negate that our work is and continues to be and that's what everyone's saying Torah and this is our work this is the counter to this par
