this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com it's a brief a brief thought on fashions in the beginning of the parisha it says and he met the place yaakov met the place in this plastic what is the main thing in the pasok the place yaakov happened to meet the place the place is the item of Interest the important item and yaakov is secondary and he happened to meet the place at the end of the Powershell what does the plastic say the second to last plastic viaco police was going on his way Kim and the angels met Jacob the angels are secondary and yaakov is primary how do we explain this so with champions number one you know now they have something foreign they translated first they took the German they translated into English now they made an updated English then they translated the English into the Hebrew so people only like to look at the Hebrew as if you know that's the original I like that the English is more original you know anyway I don't know German if you know so if you look at number one retention of the horsepower this cannot simply mean he chants to come to a place doesn't mean he happened to come firstly because then it would have it would have to say further never means just a meeting but always such a meeting where the one makes an important impression on the other in other words means that the place made an impression on Jacob avino why the place make an impression on Jacob avino because it was an awesome place it was the makama miktas so Yakov was very moved by he was very taken by his encounter lucky number two years earlier when yaakov left his father's house he met the Divine he encountered the makama mikdash now on his homecoming Angels met him now on his homecoming Angels met him in other words 20 years before Jacob was struck by God now the malachim are struck by him 20 years ago it was an event that the Divine appeared to him and made it clear to him that the Sheena wished to return to Earth in such a manner that when Angels sought his glory up in heaven it would be found on Earth amongst Mankind and that he and every member of his future Nation were to work for this Return of the glory of God on Earth in English that means what that means is 20 years earlier yaakov was moved by the fact that he encountered Hashem in this world that he saw Hashem wanted to come down to this world now in the moment when freed from all other conditions he can first breathe as a free independent family his appearance was an event for the Angels it was an experience for them to meet for the first time such a family on Earth what's he saying while he all unconscious of the importance and meeting and meaning for Humanity of his godliness and of that of his household quietly went on his way for them for the Angels it was an event follows this thing an amazing thing as great as avraham was as great as guitar was there was something about yaakov avinu which influenced the world in a greater sense and what was that yaakov had a large family Largemouth they were all right avraham did not have that avraham had one son gets [ __ ] had one son who were Sadiq yaakov on the other hand had an entire kahila right binay Israel when they were Jews there was there was after almost a year but there was no banay Israel there was no community Israel the effect that a observant Community has on the world is incredible so so reception followers is pointing out that when yaakov came to the makama as a bachelor who made an impression on who the mother she made an impression on yaakov but now that yaakov has raka Leia Villa zilpa ruvin shimling he has a minion to see uh you know Dover seven minion so that for them to see a kahila they the kahila made the impression on the malachem and then the following is very interesting to me good point Thank you right correct you're right the oven wasn't there but something very interesting to me we find by avraham avino he called out in the name of Hashem the career that he embarked on Hashem and we don't find anywhere in the hummus the yak of avino ever called out in the name of Hashem so a what does it mean by what does that mean what does it mean to be Hashem and number two why did avraham do it yes so look in the ramban the wrong band says like this explains that he dive in there you know what it means avram was Kara bashem hashema foreign I disagree Hashem I don't feel means to Davin who who I don't feel the the ramban says I don't agree with uncles you know what it means Hashem Hashem he stood near the museum and as the people were passing by he said let me tell you something there's a Creator in this world there's a God in this world he stood on his soapbox and he taught the world amunab Hashem means he proclaimed that there is a God in the world he taught and instructed Hashem in this world why avraham what happened until now in orcasm nobody was listening to him no one was paying attention to him he would teach but nobody wanted to listen vyata but now when he came to us Israel where he was promised Hashem said I will bless those who blessly Holocaust he trained himself to do kirov he trained himself to go out and proactively Proclaim God the king did the same thing and he was promisedi don't worry I'll be with you you [ __ ] barked on the same path he kirov he proclaimed publicly foreign by the following question why so if avraham did kirov and he called out to the world about the name of Hashem and yet he called out to the world about the name of Hashem why didn't yaakov do that he sat in his tent and he learned but avraham didn't do that avram went out to the world as avram didn't say no I'm gonna sit in my dollar Thomas I'm gonna be contemplate the tire of Hashem and whoever wants to come come no avram said I bought us Torah go out and give you lectures we don't find anywhere why not right that's the question why don't we find the Yakov isn't that a strong question now to add to the question if you remember in our last year on safer Danielle we learned around said that the six days of creation correspond to the six thousand years of world history so on the first two days there was air there was water nothing was really created that corresponds to the first two thousand years of the world's existence when the world nobody knew about God the second two days of creation God made the dry land he made the the fruits the vegetables that he made the world propagated the world was fulfilled the world was populated that corresponds to when avraham avina was 52 years old he began to teach the world about Hashem so now the gemara's you know the gamar naval desire says the first 2000 years of creation are two thousand years of tell you of emptiness the second 2000 years of creation are two thousand years of time live 2000 years of Tyra because from the time avraham was 52 years old he taught the world about God but the first 2000 years of the world it was two thousand years of emptiness and void what do you mean emptiness and void of them recognize God shame recognize God says ramban if you believe in Hashem and you don't tell people about it in the eyes of Hashem the world is desolate what does God consider important if there are people who are actively teaching about Hashem meaning in the eyes are not bad people who just concentrate on their own understanding of Hashem that's tell you about you people who if there are are people who teach the world of arashem that's you made Torah so why didn't yakubovino do it and if you want to get a little more controversial then we could really spice it up and we could say there's some yeshivas today that they train their tummy then to go out how about says Tyra I wonder what your shoes and there are some yeshivas that people just sit and learn about clothes that tell you about you so certainly we have to try to explain what their position is after all the rabban is saying even though Adam believed in Hashem and Shane believes in Hashem that's not good enough that's called you and when Avril came to the world and he taught the world about Hashem that's Tyra Tyra is not sitting in your corner with the gemara ramban says that's not toyra so emotion finds he says and even to make a Yeshiva but you're just sitting in the Yeshiva and if you want to tell me them come to you that will tell you about volume of most your fancy might sound the dark smosha but if you go out and create yeshivas and enroll people that's Tyra what is their position what's their position so what we have to know is what was yakovina's position Abraham went out he did have buses what do we find yeah this is very interesting to me right because first of all it's it's twofold first of all it's a question on you know different today of different yeshivas and it's also a question about our other taxation avraham yes as opposed to yeah good says around bond we're about to see everybody agrees that Tyra is to Proclaim to the world to Cloud Israel and Muna bashem but there are two ways of doing it you could do it by saying come come come come let's learn let's learn come let's learn avra mavino went out to the world he said come let me tell you about Hashem come let me tell you about Hashem yakovina didn't have to do that why not example because yakovino has such a large family that the family spoke for itself if people were aware that their 12 kids 12 wives with large with and they all had Canela and who knows you have a big you have 17 officials 70 people you put up a house people know there's 70 people inside they're all believing Hashem nope you don't have to say anything people say what's going on in there there's 70 people inside who all are mamina you don't need to stand on the soapbox you don't need drushas you don't need lectures the mishbacha the kahila speaks for itself look very interesting to me you know ban rights that's the same thing so maybe right so maybe maybe a Yeshiva could say we have a city we have four thousand Town medium we have 4 000 people sitting and learning we have to go out to the world and talk there's a city in the United States of America with thousand people sitting and learning that's the biggest Russia that's the biggest lecture even they now go up okay that's an interesting idea it's a very interesting idea it looks because they didn't look what I'm Batman says Kane why doesn't it say bayakov that he was karabase he had many children Hashem all serving Hashem he had a large community spread in them and it became known to everyone a voice of Ah that's one reason one reason is you know why he didn't do it the family family and number two because once avram and yutak already set the stage it wasn't necessary anymore for yaakov say bishas when everyone's going out to teach you sit inside when everyone's sitting inside you go out depends what's needed times of Abram and yet no one ever heard of God so they had to go out opera music was so successful that they already got the message out yakovino didn't have to do it so successful but yet we don't hear anything about all these yeah we don't know exactly what happened to their all their students but maybe look even the world today a large percent of the world is uh believes in one God whoever the Jews were are or were they believed on God so who where did that come from look at the far East right that's right right but now you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
