hi this is damsky and welcome to the par
five where we give you five minutes
count them five minutes of insight into
the local paraa and this week's local
paraa as opposed to the express paraa
yeah is
V and of course this is the dramatic
story of the development of the Jewish
people wherein Yakov goes into gullis
and uh he goes by Lovin one of those
crooked guys in all of tanak and he sees
ra and he knows he's he's going to have
children with her and uh and uh he wants
to marry her and she says listen you
seem like a very nice fellow she was she
was young you know you seem like a very
nice fellow but seemed like a very nice
boy you know he was uh in fact 77 at the
time and she was a little girl so he
says uh you know you seem like a very
nice uh boy uh 77 year old man and who
says age difference is a problem and uh
he says the only thing is my dad will
never let it you know he'll he'll make
me you know my older daughter marry
first so he says yeah I am his
brother says Rashi yeah if he's an
honest man so then I'm the son of yok
and I'm an honest man and if he's a Rami
if he's a trickster I'm a bigger
trickster than he is I'm a bigger
ramai yikes this is yakob the is Ms EMS
Yakov yakob does everything emus and
he's bragging to this girl that I'm a
bigger liar and cheat than your
dad I don't know is that the way to win
the hearts of of a young
lady should be bragging about all your
wonderful mid does and how terrific you
are as opposed to Breaking about that
that's number one number two is he
obviously wasn't you know in modern
Hebrew when you say you know I spelled
it out in black and white the expression
they use
is because yov did everything he could
to make it clear I want RL not some ra
from the shook your daughter ra and not
if you change Le's name to ra I'm
telling you bana and it didn't help uh
love managed to switch it anyway in
spite of all of his precautions so you
weren't as big a ramai as he was so what
do you mean so Yakov is saying something
much deeper he's saying if he's a Rami
I'm a bigger ramai than he is you know
why because I'm going to be honest and
let him take advantage of me if he wants
to be honest he has this to be the Z of
Kel and if he wants to be a crook I'm
sneakier than he is cuz I'm going to be
honest and he's going to do every stick
he can do against me so that at the end
when I say to ra Leia let's go they say
well he's never been a father to me so I
say if God says leave let's leave
there's nothing for us here and when
Lovin chases after his children and
grandchildren with an army and he looks
at his
grandchildren cing in fear before
him he suddenly realizes he had the
chance to be something great and he lost
it and so when he says at the end to
Yakov the Sheep of my sheep the
daughters of my daughters the children
of my children and everything is mine
the words ring Hollow it could have been
true but he let himself take uh
advantage of Yakov and at the end he
he's the one who lost out as that
dramatic scene at the end of Mary
Poppins with the little boy puts the
coin in his father's hand and he says
here's the tuppin father I hope that
makes everything all right and the
father realizes he's lost everything
over two pence that's a t two pence and
Lovin suddenly has to confront the fact
that he could have been someone great in
history and he gave it up for
small selfish
motivations be great we have that
opportunity let's understand that going
into this shabis and everyone should
make the most of it
