Parshas Toldos: Stolen Goods - The Letter Yud in Yaakov's Name

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com okay good morning we have something very interesting on the para and then at the end we're going to have something uh we cover the Shalom Z but not what we're going to say tonight very interesting okay so we have the birth of and the first one came out R entirely like a cloak of hair they called him and afterwards his brother came out his hand was grabbing onto the heel of he called him was now one difference we see is that everybody called him it says so Rashi explains everyone called as asov because of the way he looked yob specifically either or him but we want to understand is yes yob was grabbing onto the heels of asov why dka was he grabbing onto the heels conceptually philosophically why was he daa grabbing onto the heels of asov how do we understand that there's an amazing uh idea from the mo was one of the B he says we know that as is represented by which animal the the pig right like the says asov is like the pig the pig is a tra animal yakob would never touch asov there's only one part of the pig that has redeeming feature it has split hooves this that's the Simon kasas so yov says if I'm going to touch the kazer the only thing I could touch are the Hooves right the that's the idea grabbed onto the heels of those are theave and the pig has no CA other than the heel by the way you could look we're not the sheer this is a sheer init of itself the writes that by I just ask everyone to turn off their phones but Yu grabbing onto the heels of asov that created that the pig should have split hoes in other words the other way around the fact writes that the fact that yob grabbed the heel that caused as to have at least one redeeming feature now how do we understand R why yob was doing doing this why do he have to hold anything let ASV come out and then let him come out why why is he holding on to the heel he knew about an amazing thing the says he had on his mother every time you give birth every time the womb opens to let out the Vlad it hurts he have to push again it's very painful so yakob says I don't want to trouble my mother once she's open one time let me come out now I don't want to be M her extra that's why does the have to tell you that yob was grabbing onto his heel who cares we see from here the saintliness the py of even in his womb he had even in her womb he had mother he said once the womb is open I don't want to trouble my mother two times so it's very interesting if I were to ask you what makes somebody a what how do you become Aid you white socks a long beard no what's a someone who doesn't want to cause pain to their mother that's a that's a now let's get a little deeper over here why is yov called Yakov presumably because he was holding on to to the heel of asov question is how do you write heel how do you spell heel a cave so let's call him a cave where did the Y come from where did the Y come from it's brought down over here every many people ask this question from the he writes if he's called cuz he was grabbing onto the hill of why why did he add the we can ask the other way around why was as called as look at rash everyone called why because he was made and completed with his ha how would you say in Hebrew Ines someone who is made completely completed away so what's going on why is why is as why is he called as he should be called he should be called sin y why is he called ASA in other words yob should be called aave and ASA should be called so have an amazing comment from theal in three different places wres in this week's and he explains it at length in and he says the following you know what it means that yob was holding on to the heels of asov you know what asov was his name was going to be a sin and you know jakob's name was going to be k b but yov the sees the sin coming out of the mother so he grabs onto the heel what's the heel the last o of as which is the Y which be he grabs onto the heel the Y and he attaches it to his name and theave becomes y you hear such a thing that's what the M wres his name was why cuz he was fully completed he was fully made jakob's name should have been aave however so why didn't go on to the end of yob that's where it would have beene okay good good question why you call him Kobe we're going to deal with that no no you can't you can't use that name we're going to see it's very important you have to the Y has to be in the beginning writes what does it mean took the from he he took the letter the was stuck to's heel his name was like says anyone yov over here me too Dan y right so imagine that would have been such a nice name right uncle that that would have been good right if your name was aave you would have been happy with that also call me anything you want just don't call me late for my meals okay he was made is he right yeah it tells you that everything as did is in the past whatever yob is going to do for the future very good very good very good took the letter the that was hanging on to the bottom of the foot of took and he made it his crown so let's think about that what asov put on the bottom of his foot Yakov put as a crown on his head the Y which was the end of asov became the head of okay says look at the last two lines he says wanted he was after another letter also yakob didn't wasn't just happy with the Y he wanted the V yakob was after the V but he didn't take it he left the v in as well see why would he want the V why do he want the Y also why do you need the Y for what's it going to do for him what what does he need the V for he wanted the vob will take the V and as will be what Ash Shin anybody know what an ush is a bug a moth an ush is a moth yeah we'll see like the says in and we're going to see you take a look at number nine the will wither like an old garment they'll be eaten by the moths so will disintegrate why cuz we got the y in the beginning and we're going to get the V also and when once we get the v as is going to turn into a moth very interesting so is pointing out there are places in the that is spelled m with how many times in T is y spelled m with five times look at number seven with says number eight there five places in the is spelled and is spelled missing why took the V out of El's name five times as a mash that El would bring the right so wait a second here Rashi saying that yov took the V from but the Malala says yob is going to take the V from as the answer is when will the Gul happen when as has the downfall when will as have the downfall who's going to bring the so yob said your job is to cause as to disintegrate I will take your V until you get rid of his V okay by the way so what do we see from here yakob he was after the Y he got the Y he was after the V he didn't get it yet but we see somehow the letter V is very connected to yov says amazing thing Abraham why don't we say the answer is we don't have to say any time we could say abah each one is an independent statement the by shows that the letter V is connected to yov there's a connection between yov and the letter V that wres look at number 10 and the get it in between from elov is going to collect it from as you going get it from ASA yeah know he's he's the guarantor he's the he's the he's in charge look at number thees has a special connection to the letter V okay so we still have to explain why does yov care about the Y why is the Y at the end of his name Why by yov is at the beginning of his name and why does care about the number 11 says the same thing in says an amazing but only because y was able to get the Y whatever that means right I want to point point out something to you very interesting this is bothering me for a long time and I think I think I got it right look at number 13 because point out something just the deatria of yo yeah is 182 The M of ASO is 376 if you take away uh no 38 182 y you take away the V from as and you give it to yob so yob as is double where yob is if you take away the ver and you give the verb to yob yob is half of exactly half of as all right now you now you have something now you have to you know do something with it now you have to do something with it okay you look in par very interesting thing I was always thinking about about this and I'll tell you I had in previous years he gave him some he ate he drank he got up he left he despised I was always wondering it's very uncommon and I'm not aware of any other places where you you have the at the beginning of the word five consecutive words in the in the row I mean even there's something there's something over there there's something doing over there what's the that you have five words in the row with that begin with the letter V with the Ling time with the first one yeah you always used to live when you yeah yeah yeah I'm tired still so interesting say an amazing thing why did yob want the letter Y let's start with the letter Y says care about the kids were struggling they were fighting they were kicking they were screaming what are they fighting about by the way the tour writes you know what they're fighting about they weren't fighting they were struggling you know why as is yakob is smooth yakob is itchy he's itchy he's getting pricked by as's hair he's very uncomfortable he's scratching himself what the Tor writes yeah but rash says it because of church that's the is yov is that's at the Tor not my the T who it says Rashi no no no no no there was something deeper about it says Rashi number 14 they're fighting with each other they they were fighting I says I says no I they were fighting fighting fighting which did yob want more than anything [Music] says so what were they fighting about now they want they ASA wanted why not he want to why not but it says we say every day in God created the world with the and with the he he created with the letter he why with the letter he cuz in this world you could fall out very easily right it's very easy to fall out but you could always come back in through the opening on the top so this world cre the is created with the ice so which does want more than anything which world does want he wants the created with the so what does do he sees as's name HS the and he appes it to his name he grabs it heops it see we know God created with the letter hey by the way the letter hey is a very special letter you know that the writes that the letter he is what gives bra for children so for example Sarai her name was Sarai she didn't have have children so Hashem gave her the letter hey sah RKA had the letter hey Leia had the letter hay ra didn't have the letter ha so ra said take bah maybe I'll get from bah why because bah has two haes so I'll use her second hay for me but was RI going to C first too till that could have been that could have been for other reasons for side reasons but the hey there was she had no shortages of hey that's the REM but in any event in any event were fighting over is created with the is created with a he more than anything else wants the letter Y wants the letter Y so now we understand that what asov was trampling on with his foot yob makes a crown for his head that's the difference between a Jew and a guy a guy thinks of last he lives how he wants to live the last consideration in his mind is the he does what he wants to do oh now let me see what's going to be with by a Jew everything he lives with everything he does every decision he makes is he begins with the how will this affect how do I act how do what do I do where do I go the first thing we look at is the Y by asov it ends with the Y he steps on it by yob that's his crown that's the meaning of why as ends with the Y and yov begins with the Y okay but we still have not explained what's the letter V what's the letter V so yov the when did he it immediately when they were born but what about the letter V what is the letter V says Malala a wonderful thing which number is this three number 12 says take a look on the the second sheet says what next page the letter V represents the the the on the back the letter V represents the for example how manyas three right three but you could break it down further each bra has two there's six when it comes to the world of we're not talking about has but wanted the special the that if you have these you could live in to be able to achieve that is represented say are the the the special gives a person to be able to be achieve in this world to gain that's the letter so so starts off his career he says I ain't coming into this world if I don't have otherwise there's no point in being born the whole why isem create us Hashem created us to get that's the whole purpose of creation otherwise we'd be better off never being created but why will create us where does it say that the opening words of every Jew has to know by heart right that's what point of creation so said I'm not being born until I get the Y if I don't have the Y I ain't coming out so yob gets the Y but now he comes out to the world he says you know what hasem I don't need gmas but I need special braa to achieve in this world I need the V Shem says the v a little bit a little bit not completely not completely you know when you'll get it completely as remove his V he'll become a moth he'll become a bug he'll be a bed bug they'll come into they'll they'll blast him with the heat with the ice and all the other chemicals right but but the V you don't get completely now right now Isa is not a full bug he's just you know but not a moth but you need the the wol to to achieve you need so a yov has that's why five times inob takes the five times and he says I want you to be my guarantor you're going to get it forever but now right now yob only has it a little bit five times when yob gets too is going to have it taken away it's just going to be no it could be El always has a v yob just took away no yob took five of his vves just yeah now listen to this yob got the Y at Birth when did he get the V when he gave asov the chant in exchange for the bras how many Y and how many vves did he get five didn't y now the yud was now accompanied by the V okay I was very happy yesterday I thought of this first of all you know that my mind was still working a little bit yesterday and says says at the very end I almost didn't have put it on the sheet I almost just said it he says it you see it was split off over here but I added a little one let's see if I can find it the end oh no no look at number 12 on the bottom he says over here five times beautiful by the way the WR from that in KES Friday night you have five times five times right all right very good right five times why because shab is so shabas is reminiscent of the time that we're going to be able to get back not only the Y but the V also and take it for ourselves okay so this is a a beautiful from theala right get get at Birth he gets when he takes the and for it okay amazing thing amazing thing another chat perhaps you could say that that this thought of in the past why you have the five vves in a row in again maybe uh if you could find elsewhere but as far as I know this is a very rare instance five VVS in a row I'm has a very interesting question how did y buy the with what item cash credit card check Travelers check American Express discover what did he use CH the best currency right the best currency one simple question asks who do the children belong to yob is a kid his mother do you own the food that your parents give you to eat no it's not yours you don't own it could you use the food your parents give you to in exchange to buy something no you know what it's called yeah he's still you know what that's called it's called Gena the parents give it to you to eat you can't trade your lunch can't trade your lunch so ask how was the sale effective the CH didn't belong to Y say this was the only time in jakob's life he owned his food he did what he owned his food why because what was he cooking for sudas right Rashi says number 19 he was cooking because just passed away couldn't own it because you can't eat your own food by very good can come from from the 's possessions it has to come m so where did get it where did yob get it from gave it to him that he should be and otherwise it's not look at only one time in the life of yob did he ever own food or own anything and pinkl that minute who comes by ASV comes by y said unbelievable this is the only time my life ever owned something I'm trading you this for the so what is this called the only time until he he's I don't know 63 years old this is the only time in his life he ever owned anything and pink comes along at that moment tremendous look at number 18 sud this was a sud Abraham from the death of Abraham that he died that day says you could explain that this was didn't own anything had his so amazing thing right we never thought of [Applause] that we said that this is a rare instance five vves in a row I'll should tell you something even more rare 15 vves in a row 15s in a row is that a coincidence of course not says that you need when you say sh you need to say how many words 248 but they're only repeat what if you're ding at home yeah well but that's okay what if you're ding at home when you how many 15 is what what's 6 * 15 90 90 have in mind that the 15 VVS is 90 you know what 90 is three times your KK No 3 * 267 oh but three times k k is what 82 88 8 No 3 * 26 is 88 78 78 78 the answer is is sometimes 26 but sometimes could be 30 if you count the four letters that's what says 26 plus the four letters 26 plus So when you say the 15 vves you have in mind 15 bus is 90 that's three times y each y the first one is 246 the second one is 247 the third one is 248 in other words how do you get the three missing words 15 VES is 90 90 is three times your K that's what the writes I don't make this up so what do we see from here that five VES is 30 K right right so perhaps the r over here is how did yov buy the from it's so unlikely he didn't own anything it impossible in his entire life y didn't own anything until he was when he went to's house he the answer is had it that pink at this time AB passed away and told yob here are the beans and they're not mine anymore they're yours so in order for this to happen you needed you needed the so that's why the says you have five it's showing you the special that orchestrated events that as should come along at this time when yob had the beans and everything ended happily ever after
