reporting in progress okay so here we go we have uh many people are asking you know we didn't hear about the in a very long time even though by the way you have to hear last night's Shar did you hear last night's year about the sadic that watches over Israel from Damascus oh you got to hear that you must hear that Shear do you know which sadic is buried in Damascus I'm not going to reveal to you you have to hear that sheer we had a lot of interesting sheum this week on Syria and Damascus you need to hear all of them there three anyway I want to share with you an amazing Insight of the we say you know there's a a new in it's called a playlist you know what a playlist is where every Friday you need to listen to the songs that are in the paraa okay not a bad playlet by the way it's better than eating on Friday it's better than the Min of eating the chabas food on Friday people think there's a Mitzvah to eat the chabas food it's a Mitzvah not to eat the shabas food on Friday the Mitzvah is to taste it you know what tasting means you take a fork you take a tenth of a kazas and you make a braa so on the potato coule you make a shahak okay I'm not getting into now why you make a shahak but or you want to taste a little bit of you take eat a little bit so you eat with an appetite on chabas so better than the minoch of eating a lot people have taken teh and they have used it to destroy the chabas you know why because if you eat the chabas night suda properly it saves you from disaster in this world so the Yahara doesn't want you to be saved from disaster so he makes you eat a lot on Friday not a good idea to eat a lot on Friday but that has nothing to do with what I'm about to say what I'm about to say is there's a Min hog to have a playlist playlist is you sing the songs in the paraa for example this week people are going to be singing yeah but that's the high part anyway on theob remained alone why did he remain alone because he left small jugs can I ask you a question Yakov was a millionaire he wasn't rich and he wasn't very rich he was very very rich he's richer than anyone you know personally if you lose if you leave uh mug have a question let's say you went to the airport and your flight was delayed 3 hours and you left a mug in the room you were staying are you going to take a car service back to get the mug the car service will cost you more money than the mug so let's say you left 30 mugs so that it's your car service will be less than the amount that the mugs are worth will you go get them I don't know is it worth your time to get them I mean it depends what your financial situation is if you're not that uh financially stable maybe you need the mugs but a guy like Yakov a not a a person like Yakov ainu why is he wasting his time going back for mugs especially he got left alone and now he's being attacked why is Yakov returning for says that in the conduct ofu we learn a great principle a person that is to wealth and it's a Simon that the heavens have given blessing to this person he should not be m in it he cannot degrade it he has to respect his money if Yakov would not go back for his small jugs it would look like he's being Mel in the gift that Hashem gave him maybe if a regular guy left his mugs he doesn't have to go back but Yakov more than anyone because he was so wealthy and he needed to realize that this didn't come through his own hard work this was a gift from Heaven don't disparage that gift says now we understand the practice of rebi rebi would respect the wealthy now there is a very big difference between unhealthy respect of the wealthy and respect of the wealthy just because a guy has money it doesn't mean he has that I'll tell you off the bat just because a guy has money people you know people think that because they're wealthy people are visiting them for their advice so for all your wealthy people out there people are not visiting you for your advice but still in the perspective of the Tor wealth has to be not admired but respected it's a gift from heaven and If Heaven chose to give it to a certain person that means that person is worthy of the gift and therefore they should be respected who Kos is it that the wealthy should be respected rebi now that's very interesting but the says from the conduct of yob who went back to to collect his DRS the reason is because yakob was blessed with wealth and because of that he could not be misel in it and therefore um by the way therefore yakob of all people had to go back to show honor and respect to the gift that hasem gave him and this is the root of the practice of rebi who is so the following idea struck me from where do we learn us be from y who went back to get his small jugs and who adopted this practice to be M rebi did you know that rebi was the gilgal of Yu he's called rabuda hanasi Nasi stands for is teser and therefore the mid of Yu is teaches furthermore Yu the that was enacted through him was therefore re is called isn't it amazing that by return by going back to collect his he demonstrates that if someone is blessed with great wealth they can't be M on the gift of shim therefore the rebi is the source re the Gil is the one who taught concludes that if one is to great it is incumbent upon them to support and and says the they need to do so in a respectable way not with quarters not with change but the same way they cannot be Mel in the that hasm gave them the way they show respect for thef hasm gave them is by respectfully and generously supporting that which Hashem holds there say that is
