Parshat Ki Tetzei: Waging War - Rabbi David Kaplan

I you okay let's start the next part or parts of Keisei say is one of the more uh the beginning of the parsha is an ignite the continuation of the parsha covers many many missiles I think there are the most if I'm not mistaken there either the most or the second most mitzvahs in the Torah this is the partial with you the most sort of sect was either partial ski sade say or partial z SH button uh there's also in Baker parshas kenosha these are the three parshas that contain the most mitzvahs in them so we have to spend some time on it let's take a look he's safe se llama llama a lavaja when you go wage war against your enemies unas uh no I chemeketa bia defend God delivers them into your hands visual visa Chevy oh and then you take a captive you go to war against your enemies and God delivers them into your hands and you take a you take a captive now the Tory here is going to describe a very bizarre very bizarre hahaha but before we even get to that let's talk about this idea going to war against their and its key states a llama llama al oido now what I'd like you to do on page 10 46 is look very carefully very carefully at the last letter of each word look at the very carefully key safety when you go to war against your enemies and God delivers them into your hand now look at the last letter of the first word is a you'd last letter to second word say say is an olive the last letter of the third where is a hay and you have a la mid and then you have a huff Sophie's those letters those last five letters if you read rearrange them they spell out the word a low cut your God that means when you go to war against your enemies looks like you're doing it right but there's a hidden there's a hidden element over here which is why your god that's doing it for you hello kesha you're going out to warn you have to wage war and you have to take the sword do anything else that you have to do what's the hidden aspect when you go off to war hello keka your God is there with you we've mentioned many times that in west point military academy was fight Willa Terry gotta be the non-jewish generals when they teach strategy military threat they will not study or use Israel's Wars all these words Israel's been fighting they will not teach that at West Point Military Academy because their contention is that Israel has won their words worse through miracle you cannot teach miracle yeah okay guys when you go out to war make sure where the enemies throw grenades at you they forget to pull the pin which has happened in the jail's horse right if they've had they've had grenades thrown it then which they've been picked up pull the visit hey guys you forgot this and thrown it back you can't teach you can't teach military strategy well try to catch all of the enemy's Air Force on the ground on the first day of the war right when's the last time that happened in military conflict like Israel did in 67 just doesn't happen you can't teach miracles we know that when we go to war we know that when we go to war that I caught his work was there so it looks like we're doing it just keep in mind hello Kesha God has taken and that's why the puzzle continues moon is Sun wash Emma loca vieja God will deliver him in your hands there was a story there's a outreach organization in Israel where they had a what's a call but he ever get together a reunion at a reunion for forever now a reunion at a reunion for those who had been through the organization that become Torah observant and they you know they had a r you know they made a shabbaton a reunion for some of the alumni could become fro so they're sitting at the reunion and it's a shabbos the other server shabbos meal and then for dessert they served watermelon so one of the guys fix up the watermelon goes brother doesn't get a call me a big girl so one of the rabbi's happen to be walking past he says listen you know if you make a schakal when you have to make an ad oma so bid the a video say it works but the real the correct brocco to make on watermelon is a very priyatama he says I know but I make a schakal so yes I know you make a schakal but the correct bracha is another visit but I make a shackle so the cow bite to you know what why do you make a shackle so guy says look rabbi in a 73 war i was on the Golan Heights my entire unit we were in a tank unit and we're surrounded by Syrian tanks we were goners and we knew we were goners and at a certain point somebody said over the end over the the communications that work does anybody here know how to say do they even know how to Dobbin we were a completely secular unit there was nobody in her and nobody knew any prayers it was one guy who had been raised on a key bullets who knew one thing he know how to make a schakal so all that negeri we hear over the communication other brother so again well I'm sure Kohli every road somebody hit the button boom then act out a Syrian tank so we all joined in we all went on it again watch a call even row boom we kept saying charcoal we kept knocking out Syrian tanks is it rabbi says every one of us survived every one of us survives as rabbi if it's good enough for Syrian tanks it's good enough for watermelon okay okay i remember well when I heard the story I just wondered if the Syrians answered I made that was my own my only question so see you know the guy the guy with all it with all of his keen logic by the way with loves keen lodging you could get you could it's a very nice story you still make a Brianna even a work for the Syrians but at the end of the day they talk to anybody know after 273 war after 73 word they could not fill the order for Toulon in this country every soldier who came back from the front said I saw God get me a beer in phila after two weeks die down after to accumulate such well you know maybe maybe that was our strategy maybe this it may be that the miracles were ridiculous so so that's the first rule here the first rule here is he say Salem mi olivet saw realize that I coated or who is handling the handling the war for you now number two number two top of hates every six nope yep yeah guy that shot cold in a tight situation in very tight situation always made shop call always making shout call is their their rules first of all you have to have first tried to determine what the correct bracha is not like well you know I don't know it looks like a potato chip to me I'm not sure just make a shot go you have to try to determine and if it can't be determined then you can make a shot called even then it doesn't always work like in a tight situation you have and you have one yeah for the types of Jews a shot called because it's it helps you save Oh save you okay there whatnot if you've made the brocco already if you've made a Bravo already don't make another Brock off in order to save me that you don't that's called a brothel about all that works against you I did have a question once when I was once walking here on the walkway and one and two guys were arguing when a guy says rabbi isn't it true that a schakal works for everything I've learned I've been here long enough to learn that I have to deal with these things very cautiously so I said well ye usually wise as well because he heard thunder last night he didn't know what bracha makes they bade acche a hot coal you know he thinks that he's yo SE with the shadow you can't make a chocolate thunder you didn't and besides you know son besides we don't we don't we don't know what the after broccoli is you know so say you can't make a schakal on Thunder no you can't come out of the bathroom kick him out of the bathroom and make a chocolate doesn't work you got to make him ready go you got it you gotta gotta make the right brother in any of it Souter says like it you say Salem milk all my lives after you go to war against your enemy oh no son wash I'm okay i'll be at the official research even you take a captive and then what happens one of the most bizarre and difficult to understand mrs. of the torah and you're all going to have to come back tomorrow so that you understand it properly because this needs clarification and let's just see what the Torah says and then come back make sure you come back tomorrow don't make sure this is the last thing you learned it or some ass right make sure you come back to route for the exhalation since we're a Easter by shiva HSE fiestar you see a beautiful woman there this was shocked the but you desire her Licata Italy gia take her as a wife now we're talking about a woman over here is I'm Jewish no one is not Jewish you kept her the Battlefront Dave a cell tough mate said hey bring her to your home you took this woman and brought her to your home the guilt is Rocha she shaves her head the US assess see for now she lets her fingernails grow wild and she said Sarah at your house the idea here is that you decided you want to marry this this done Jewish woman you're obviously infatuated so Torah says first of all before you bury her we want to try to break that infatuations and first thing you're gonna do is you're gonna have her sit in your house she's going to shave she gonna sit right by the doorway with her head shaven and her fingernails growing for 30 days so that every time you walk into the house you get a better look at her and I get a look at her which he's not in her very best see the nation's when the Jewish men went out to war the nations would dress up the women nicely and send them out to try to entice the Jewish men so here you've captured her you obviously fell in love you were you were what he call it you were infatuated now you want to marry her and you may be able to but before you do I just spend 30 days every time you come into the house from shows a high you say hi to your wife hi Wi-Fi Baldy as you come into the house and get used to the idea what you really looks like what she's added or best after 30 days you still wanna marry her after 30 days of senior like that then you're allowed to marry her okay that will talk about the run with you
