Parshas Vayeitzey: Solving the Mystery of the One Night that Yaakov Avinu Did Not Learn

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com and he comes to haran and the plastic says he meets the place he slept in that place you're kidding me he slept in that place I thought I would have thought he slept in a different place I mean wherever you sleep it's that place no one has ever figured out how to sleep in one place and be sleeping in a different place so what is the time mean so everybody knows the famous words of rashiot it's an exclusion but let's say Marco him shot off he slept in that place on him but the 14 years did they say there that he served in the house of either he did not sleep at night was learning Tyra so Rashi tells us in almost a supernatural thing a miraculous thing about yakovino that for 14 years day and night he plugged away he learned with the utmost has mother the utmost amelos he was not he did not even sleep at night pastors that means he did not lie down to go to sleep that night the gamara says it's impossible not to sleep for three days presumably at least I'll keep Shadow means he did not lie down in a bed to go to sleep at night for 14 years this comment to Rashi appears in three places in hummus the one is the beginning of passion one is at the end of last week's pasture pastures told us the very end of the parisha Rashi makes a comment in parekh half success Rashi says that we see from here was learning in the Shiva shamba ever for 14 years I'm gonna push the voice of the fact that ASAP went to Ishmael and he took Mahala that from here we see there he was definitely hiding in the house of Everest that's Rashi says at the end of tall Dice and again at the end of Sarah Rashi points out that um okay so there are three rashes and Hamish the Rashi points out the yakovino learns for 14 years okay live 14. I don't know yeah it's the yeah in the two cycles different different okay but Rabbi say take a look in the brings are very interesting remedies to the fact in other words what's what's very important to point out is that nowhere does the terrorist say explicitly the yakovina learned for 14 years here here the Tyro says he slept who in that place and from there we figure out but for 14 years he didn't sleep at the end of Toda Israel she makes one from the fact that that was the one who married off uh that you smile and then at the end of kaisara from the from the Ishmael we can make we can make a husband that yakovina learned for 14 years but nowhere does a Torah say specifically and explicitly the yako avina learned for 14 years and the safer plate of it that we could make a uh we could figure out a Remnant we have a little bit of a remnants the yakovino learned for 14 years by the way it's also at the end of the first paragraph the soy FEI tavas says right ends with a vase bear ends with a rage Shava ends with an iron right that's a Remus to the fact that jacovino learned in the basement of Shame forever and also the hida points out the Sofitel of the Russia tables six and eight is 14 Aramis to the 14 years that Yakov spent there but again nowhere does a tarse say explicitly that Yakov learned for 14 years you have arashi who is yavarashi at the end of taldoise that's madayak from novios foreign why not are we trying to cover up are we trying to hide it miyakovino these were the 14 most productive years of his life these were probably the 14 most important years of life he's spending yakovino's and yet the Torah does not say one word about the fact that Jacob was learning says with Marsha Feinstein in the daras Maisha that that the reason why the Torah does not say explicitly the Yakima Vino was learning for 14 years is to teach me what Rob I taught us in perkiava is foreign don't give yourself a lot of credit why killer Cafe that's what you were created for imagine if a guy says you know who you're talking to you know how many you know many uh gallons of oxygen I took in today you know what you are talking to one of the world's greatest gaspers of oxygen everybody needs to breathe that's what you know you can't live if you don't breathe you should be happy Hashem created you with those abilities but that's what life is and the Torah specifically does not emphasize that to teach it's back to life the target doesn't say and by the way you know how many guests of breath yakovino took in their Shava and then we don't need to know yakovina breathed over here and he breathed over there I mean that's life you can't live without breathing so the tire does not over emphasize yaakov avinu's learning that's the purpose of life if a person learns a lot don't take credit for yourself that's what you're here for uh you come home from the color today you know you can say I just went I just sat and learned an hour and cuddle I got the pericard you know I deserve you know big deal that's what you that's what you're here for okay unless you're supposed to say about anything right but here it's almost like a turtle's going out of the way not to say it it's all it's all by inference it's like the tour is like tippy-toeing around it and we once gave a whole share exactly why even even deeper why the tar does not say this explicitly I've always said this morning what I would like to uh discuss in more badar topple is the following question here you have a guy a guy you have one of the others right his the most is and he sits and learns for 14 years and we don't hear one word about it and then one night he took a night off [Music] he was you know lazing around sleeping on harabayas but he wasn't learning that night I mean okay you don't want to give him credit for 14 years but the moment yeah even takes a break that's the headline news story we got him we finally happened we caught him we caught yaakovino not learning for 14 years not killer Cafe don't make a big deal out of it but the moment he takes a break that's you know headline news three times why you know you don't want to praise the alcohol fine but why do we have to hop on the one time he takes the Breather like that's such an important thing to for the tar to focus on I mean all the 14 years we don't have one nice word to say we don't say yakovino you're the uh the epitome of Tyra you're a teaching Ms reactive no nothing but the moment he takes a break from his learning then we jump on him and as a Sam Cipher asks some survey doesn't want to let off either some server says and why wasn't he learning on this night yes yeah 14 years he didn't learn so then all of a sudden he leaves the Shiva the first night of being as an enemy right he takes a break that's some surface cautious not my casa ryakovino is learning 14 years uninterrupted he leaves the base Madras one day and all of a sudden dreaming that's the castle I'm sorry for so I'm sorry volatility he says why isn't he learning [Applause] also for many years he was able to you know why wasn't yakovino learning on this night okay so we find a very interesting thing yagavina wakes up from his dream it's a good try atheno wakes up from his dream and right and by you and what does he do foreign he pours oil on the stone what's he pouring oil on the stone for well that's what you do to not save us but ton is where did he get the oil from that was my question where'd he get there so you say what do you mean where do you get it from I don't know it's kashanamisa nice but it's a good cash onto my son why because we know that when yaakovino meets Rahel so what does he do yaakovino cries says Rashi why was he crying look at number seven Yakov came D handed umari said the servant of my grandfather came he came with nose rings and bracelets and all kinds of treats and I come empty-handed why was yaakov empty-handed says Rashi because alifaz the son of Asa ran after him because his father told him to kill yaakov and because alifas grew up in in yitzhak's lab he didn't want to kill yako if he had a dilemma what should I do on the one hand to honor my father on the other hand Yitzhak would not be happy so he asked yaakov what should I do should I listened to asaph shall listen to your truck what should I do with my father's command um take all my money and a blind man is as good as dead poor man oh good you're listening also a blind man um right and also Messiah right okay a poor man is as good as that by the way uh Russia he asked what's the Shiloh what should he do with his father's command if your father tells you to do that don't do it you don't do it right um so what's the Shiloh and what's yaakov trying to find for a way to be Makai in the civilian the answer is you see from here that amits was so valuable that if there's any way even far-fetched to be makayama Mitzvah even though technically speaking there is no midst of cupid of him under these circumstances and yaakov certainly not to try to figure out a way alifaz could be Makai in the chief of his father that he command them to kill him but nevertheless every Mitzvah is so precious if there's any way to come up with even a far-fetch way to be mikaima mitza you gotta do it right right he was mindfulness he said take it right yeah I right and so advice that you hear you see from here that Jaco avino is coming to Rafael completely empty-handed he didn't have anything to give her you know if he won't he didn't have any treats he didn't have any gold he had no jewelry he didn't have oil either he could have said you know what Russell look I don't have uh I don't have uh a nose ring but here's a jug of oil no he had nothing he comes completely empty-handed right he already poured it out and then we find love on comes running to yakimovino and he hugs him right right Rashi says why did he run to him he thought he figures if elieza came Laden with gold and silver certainly Yakov Amino must have a lot of cash on him so he doesn't see anything he gives him a hug he does you know he does a full body search nothing he gives him he gives him a kiss he figured maybe he has a gold tooth right that's what Jews have gold teeth right because uh I love unsuspected yakovino of having not and then he says he says um yakovino tells him sorry I have nothing to offer you alifa's already took away all of my uh all of my gold and silver so we see that Jacques levino came empty-handed so if yaakov came empty-handed where did he have oil from where did he have oil from by the way says know that when love on hugs yaakov he was looking looking for gold maybe doesn't that sound a little far-fetched maybe Lavon was giving him a hug like every Uncle well how do you know when when Lovin kissed him on the mouth he was searching his teeth for hidden jewels and then from because I'll know that very simple because at the end of the parisha when Lavan comes running after his family foreign he kisses his grandchildren he kisses his daughters his granddaughters what happened maybe a nice kiss for yaka for your son-in-law no you're kissing everyone you don't have a spear you smack to give you know as a a spare kiss to give your son-in-law apparently he doesn't kiss his son-in-law only if he has ulterior motives the end of the parish so he doesn't kiss yaka the beginning of the past you kiss him he's not kissing him because he's happy to see him he's kissing because he wants money once he's determined that he has no money so then uh that's the end of the kissing for love believe this is a lot of the difference that wasn't solo yet so where did yaakovino get the oil from the Panera is uh who reveals and uncovers the secret secret room of the Torah and he wants to know look at number six lakasha halal alifas ran after him because he stole everything that belonged to him um so where did he get the oil from there is one I asked his stick how do I know elephants didn't take this the stick because it says and this was your good old screw off cap stick that had a pouch of oil in it you know the kind that you could get you know the famous screw off cap stick that has oil in it well that's what kind of stick yakovino had why did he have the secret compartment a screw-up cap stick because how else is he gonna learn at night he'll give up all his money but he can't give up his limit and in this stick he would screw off the cap and inside he would store oil to be able to learn at night this is where yaakov you know got the oil from says it in his stick it left for him right elif has left his stick in a slip keep Immokalee of artists it was Hollow you know the good old hollow stick he carried with him always Malay Shaman full of oil that he's the light to learn now if I tell him he stored when he stood he stored Shaman by the way I just saw last night I saw in a review commotion safer on Hanukkah that there's a safe Yama talmud and then he brings down from the Torah that the oil the uh the Parham catanim the yakovino went back for were those they were eventually in his Gala by the nation and what passed him were they what kind of oil was in there from this stick comes out that the oil of Hanukah that was in the Skylanders came from the oil of jacobino's stick and what was that oil used for that was used for the oil that yagavin used to learn Tyra at night even though in the basement they let them know during the day why do we laugh galitaminer at night because the icker commemoration is the nest of yaakovino yakovino used to always carry around this stick with him to be able to learn at night but that's for a few weeks from now it was an earlier yeah that's well that's that's old news that's well documented yeah and it lasted through all these years there's no money to buy new ones so this this one last time all this time yeah yeah okay so I've always said so now what we're learning is a very special way that he learned Tyra at night he would have a stick and a stick was Hollow and it had a screw-off cap and he would pour out the oil and use that oil to learn at night okay let us digress for a few moments and let's address the following question where was he going car run no he wasn't he wasn't going to haran he was going to spend 14 years in the Shiva shameda either so it's possible Yeshiva foreign do you first learn and then get married or first you to get married and then both have pros and cons on the one hand it would be a good idea to learn and then to get married because how could you get married and then learn right how are you supposed to learn if you have the oil hyperness on the other hand it would be very good idea to get married and then learn because this way you'll be able to learn with pure thoughts so the gemara debates what's better should you first get married to be able to learn the kadusha and then learn or should you first learn and this way you will not have they all have paranasa on your shoulders it depends where you're from it depends if you live in as Israel or in Baba says Rubino Tam the follow if you have money if you're independently wealthy first get married and then learn you have the best of both worlds you get married you learn tahara and you don't have the Yoko panasa because you're independently wealthy but if you're poor first learn right first learn and then get married you could kiss him yaakovino is a wealthy man he has with him all the money of yitzhakavino so therefore he embarks on the sack of Rabino Tam and that is what first go get married and then learn what do you think he's going to Yeshiva he's not going to Yeshiva he had no plans whatsoever to go sit and learn 14 years before he gets married no first you get married and then learn the problem was on the way alifas took away his money ah now he's poor now he has to go sit and learn for 14 years and then get married then but the 14 years he had a change of plans his original plan was he's headed straight to haran because when you have money you get married and then you learn it's only because alif has took his money that's why he had to go sit and learning for 14 years that's what the Ishida writes in the National look at number 11. foreign in the beginning he was going towards his original plan was to go to haramidely is by the way there's enough 14. also the same answer we gave before two keep going wow so is that it's a rope of people are not like super wealthy or foreign 's belongings and including his clothing so hida brings down that he saw in a safer of his grandfather the name of the safer was ballet Bruce Abram yeah that he brings a Madras that alifaz ran after yaakov to kill him and yaakov begged him don't kill me so Leaf has took out all of his belongings so Jacob had nowhere to go so he ran into the river while he's in the river uh Cavalry passes by a Horseman passes by and all of a sudden a wave comes out of the river schleps in the horsemen schleps off his begotten now yakovino has a fresh pair of clothing to wear but jagovina was afraid that if the relatives of the horsemen catch him wearing his clothing they'd suspect him of killing him so he had to go learn and hide out in the Yeshiva now for 14 years so it's another shot yagavina had no intention to go to the silver same Ava for 14 years it's only because of this so that's why he had to change plans that would also answer the question of but this gentleman likes my first shot better okay it's true yeah that's all I got for you it's a Madras brought down and safer Valley so let's talk about a halaka now let's talk about Silas Arvis we know avram was masaki and philosophers [Music] this was the first recorded maravan history when did yaakovino DAV in this marath it would seem to me that he died in this marriage before skia why that's what it says that's Tila vayola and Sham and then he went to sleep because the sun sets that means first matter is and then sunset wait a second you can't dab in Mara before skia you can't have in minha after skia for everyone out there now the Mr Brewer says you even have to finish Mr Brewster you have to finish I don't know if this if I'm going to say that over here but yeah Mr Blue says you have the Finnish men but you can't dive in you can't dab in before so you say okay well look at the Das Academy Valley at Texas however says that that's the kingdom by the way there is a sheet them except the Broncos you can't Daven mariv until says how does that reconcile with the plastic the that's the kingdom doesn't say comes tices entices says this pasok is Araya to review Huda that's and begins very good there's one problem yeah there's a sheet called the khachame and they also have to learn and toisis doesn't explain it Tyson says this past but Tyson says more you say Apostle you can read a plastic in a million way you'll say you'll really like that won't be the first time anyone did that but Tyson says Ty says well if you look at him foreign foreign [Applause] the Earth jumped to him cut slowly after he died and by the mahati wanted to return America's brother so no sad example the basement this Saturday came to my hotel and he's not gonna sleep so then the sun set so Tyson says it's mavour and the gemara the pharush first came married and then came Shia says every Jew needs to know the slices follow um the spell Arvest is the mishna says in the in the beginning but according to what I explained that we pass can like rabihuda that says now we understand this is a pelada ketosis yeah because this ptosis is saying that there's a positive that is clear like ashita of a Tana not like say you can't dive in Mara before it says like a heaven and Tyson says yeah this pasta goes like rabihuda but what are the what do the do with the pass again it's a good character right yes Texas doesn't answer tysus leaves it off that there's a plastic and Hamish that proves the so what are we gonna do comes along because I'm sorry from this week's parisha I'm sorry for says you gotta borrow a trick of the mug in everyone and the Morgan of rum says that even though you're not a diving [Music] Friday night you're allowed to Die the marath before it says why because what's married is can I get the burning of the environment right now we have a drasha says that were not consumed during the day you could put it on them but you can't do that Friday night because you can't burn the carbon of coil on Travis so whatever carbonis were not consumed early Friday afternoon had to all be put up on them is back before Shabbos because you cannot put up the ivarma padarim on Shabbos oh says the monkey Abram if Fearless matter of corresponds to the the Ivar mupidarim so normally you have to David Marve after it says because they put Dave arms upadharam on the fire after it says but Friday night they put Devon vadaram before skia so therefore you'll add a diamond Mara Friday night before skia that's and and many people that's what you make an early childhood so this is Friday night says the Sam Cipher in order to explain how the fit into a posse you have to say this was Friday night wow instead of some Surfer now it's beautiful because the gemara says in the Saturday news Without Limits yeah when did Hashem tell yakovino the navua ufarats the Yama became so that means Hashem is telling yagavino in this dream the reward for someone who's maame so therefore the Sam Surfer says it's very reasonable then to assume that this dream was taking place Fry on Sabbath otherwise I'm telling him oh one second instead of some type of further says of some severe further he poured Sherman shemen means is so so many years ago I thought to say very passionate wasn't learning Friday night this night because it was Shabbos you're not allowed to learn more on your own Travis it's an aviator alert on area one is now to learn the right now so you say what did he do for the last 14 years he didn't sleep for 14 years no the last 14 years he's in Yeshiva is allowed to learn because the fear of the rebbe plus I'll lock as if you're together with two people you're allowed to learn because you remember this was the only time in the history of jacovino's life he was alone he was by himself on a Friday night so he's not allowed to learn so we asked here yagavina learns for 14 years and Atara doesn't give him any compliments all the Torah says is oh we hopped him he's not learning his name vato no you know why the tire is telling us that yakovina went to sleep he wasn't allowed to learn the paneer was again you got all the pieces learns and how did yakovina learn at night from the shaman that he took in his in his Machel so we see from there nice before shkia that's where the cast of tices tysus asked this past the government is the only way to explain is to learn that it's Friday night which is very reasonable anyway because Ubuntu is giving yakovino the reward of foreign that it comes out very beautiful why the Torah is emphasizing the fact that Jaco avina went to sleep on this night it's not the gnai if anything the Torah is saying the tremendous that here for 14 years he's learning to are uninterrupted that means can you imagine uh over 500 over 700 chambasim where he learned all Friday night he was probably so regular in learning Friday night and look at the Vino that the first time he comes he leaves Luca it's a Friday night no one's there the red was not there he has no shine there so you'll say um says it's Oster to love look how he's mining the Shadows says oh you're Manning the Shabbos says of some Cipher and we're going to add one point that after this episode jagovino wakes up his feet carried him so now she says what does it mean his feet his feet carried him so you know that means when you hear good news you know you're good you have a bounce in your step son subserver no no figurative over here how do you feed Carrie there's only one way for your feet to carry you if you say the shame Hashem and you walk lamalamaya sorrow now well wait a second wait a second asara why why is Jacob using the the shame of Hashem for the first time in his life well says something very simple because the usami says you know how to use the shamashem because a person always has to be worried he may have to come on to other people and someone who is financially dependent on other people is now to use the Shema Hashem but once Hashem promised him in the dream which means Hashem is going to give him Hashem is promising you'll never have to come on to other people for paranasa so now yakovino could safely use the shame and not have to worry but one last thing as I say one last thing and that is jakovina wakes up like him what did he mean sarashi says right he says what does Rashi say on the words who remembers foreign ER what's the answer what's the reason why you know how to learn but there's a clown said I didn't know I was in the mixage if I would have known I was in the mix [Music] okay very good let's just uh throw out another approach over here why yakovino is not learning that night and that is that the remote brings down in Simon tough hey Sith Bays that there are some people that put a stone under their heads the night of Tish above to the stone the Yakov had under his head when he had the dream and he dreamed about the Dallas wants to know okay why exactly remembering yakovino's dream on tishabab yakovina wasn't dreaming on tishabab yet says I'm sorry for the Tish above it was Tish above it was Tisha that's a different piece on the sunset here it's a different piece says something so I was Tish above now we understand why he wasn't learning now to learn Tish above okay and then another step another sounds like this says looks I'm sorry yaakovino did not learn that he went to sleep why didn't he learn that knife says something very interesting says why was Yitzhak so easily fooled by ASAP right remember when yakovino says um Hashem the reason why I came so quickly as Hashem gave me so Rashi says yusuke was a little uh wondering was yeah surprised that that ASA would invoke the Shema was not one to to invoke the name of Hashem well then if ASAP did not invoke the shemashem and Yakov always did why wasn't asaf's why wasn't yasaka LED on to the fact of ojakov must be a Sadiq and A7 yeah okay so you know the Bali monster the ballet musters say you know some people say Ezra Hashem are not into that but I must have said it it becomes just roads it just becomes lip service and then it doesn't mean anything anymore so it could be you know the yak that's what I'm saying right now that is okay big deal Yakov always invoked the name of Hashem can't excuse me Ace of can't you know why because he's hunting he's out in the fields and they're always animals there and maybe it's not they don't have kofnaki and maybe he's in an area where you're not allowed to say the name of Hashem so you have to be very careful about saying look what a big Sadi case of is look how slow here he is not to say the same ah so the reason why yaakovino cannot learn this night it's because the one he's in the Yeshiva and he's in the protection of the Yeshiva they're no wild animals they're no danger they're not highest Royce so he's allowed to learn but now he's in the forest he's the middle of nowhere he doesn't know what could be he has to be careful we can't just learn at night he doesn't know what's in his immediate surroundings and that's why yakovina wasn't learning but when he realized that he's in the market is no harm happens there are no priests is rice so then yeah Venus says if I would have known I would have been Isaac butara Street you've
