Toldos: Why Yitzchak Was the Only Av Who's Name Wasn't Changed?

Okay, [clears throat] welcome everyone. Okay, so I want to share with you some amazing material on paras. First of all, let's come to the narrative, the episode of Yetka Cavinu who comes and he redigs the wells that Abrau dug and the pushim stuffed them up and Yitkavinu is unclogging them. And then the P goes out of it way to say that Yitzk called them by the names that his father called them. Now by way of introduction sonishel my friend of Jacob Bame he asked me why is it that Abraham's name was changed Jacob's name was changed name was never changed why you know don't you have to have a name change to be one of the isn't that that's not one of the requirements it seems like uh having your name changed is one of the requirements of being an av but Yeitzkl's name remains is the same. So there's an amazing rabb in this week's parab wants to know why does the Torah emphasize not only redug the well but he called them by the same names that his father called them. That implies that somehow it is a merit fork that he called them by the same names says and he did it to honor his father. And if the Torah tells this to us, it appears that this will be considered and is considered and it's aus that we should make a if when it comes to simple wells, you should not change from the names that your father used even though it's a innocuous area. And what difference does it make if you change the name? You should not deviate from the path of your forefathers as did not even change the names of the wells. says maybe because of this Hashem didn't change name as as a merit as a reward for him being steadfast to that he didn't change the names of the wells that his father used he was rewarded mid quid proquo measure for measure that that maybe says that's why his name wasn't changed. In fact, in the footnotes, he brings the shag that definitively that's the reason why name was never changed. >> But when um my friend asked me this question, I gave a different answer. Another saying his name wasn't changed as a reward. And I was thinking I'm not so sure his name wasn't changed because the yaku he brings down that when Hashem wanted to expedite the redemption. Hashem told the give me a letter of your name and I'll get them out early. So first I want to tell you what the rush says. The rush says why did leave 210 years early? says, "Rash, I heard a reason that when we were in Mitsim, Hashem said, "Anyone want to give me some of your name and I'll get them out early? Whatever you give me will go out early." Abraham and Jacob said, "No, we can't give you any letters. We need them." said my name was like it says in like we say by a bris by the way the Im says why by a bris do we say why do we say in other words twice init's name appears In it says and inim it says why in by a bris do we say so the Im says that every person is given a name at the brisma but Hashem told Abrau before the mil to call him and then he was originally called like Hashem told him and at the time of the mil he was called because of the that's how he had two names. So by a bris the Imra says we call him the name that gave him at the bris that means Im seems to be saying he's called when he was born and at the m he was called which is very interesting yeah in any event the Russia is my name should be and that's how it is inim or I guess in and really into but it says and if you write it instead of the shin so then well uh then could leave 210 years early. So in other words the reason why Clausur left 210 years early is because Yitzk gave up 210 points from his name. That being the case, we could analyze is that true that Yitzk's name was never changed because according to the rushitzk gave up from the shin and he made it the way the Imra says it his name at birth was his name at mila was and then later on he gave it up. If you look in the ruini he says it a bit differently. He says, "Abrainu says, uh, you know, Hashem, you gave me an extra hay. I'm not willing to give it up because if you give it up, then it's going to be the way it was originally." Yakov says, "If I give you the olive, I'm going to be a heel. I don't want to be a heel." And Yitzk says, "I could give you the Yud because originally it was." And then Yitzk said, "You know what? take the shin and give me its sadi and we'll go out 210 years early. So that seems to imply that in fact did have a name change. So you know does that agree with or is that another opinion? Or you could say, well, all of this name change by is not recorded in the KSH. Only only the uh name change of Abraham and Yakov is recorded in the Kish. The name change of Yitzk is not recorded in the Hashem. Maybe next year I would like to give a sh the Wednesday night share on the following topic. The entire life of Arau all of his great achievements are recorded. The entire life of Jacob is recorded. They each have many paras. Abraham has even at the end of the end of only has and a little bit of you have most ofice. Jacobu has many parit has mikash. So why's life is basically not described at all? You know why is that? Why isk's life not described as his name change is not described. But again says the reason for the change of his name is for the simple reason the reason why his name was not changed openly is because he did not change the names of the wells that Abrau had given.
