it's time for rabbi minkowitz weekly
tour lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight rabbi minkowitz
welcome to our weekly torah thought this
week is possessed by eight say we will
be discussing an important question and
that is how can we become successful in
bringing up our wholesome family and
being successful in the business world
this week's torah portion pacific we're
introduced to yaakov and the life of
yaakov now yaakov was unique
compared to the previous patriarchs of
abraham and isaac that yaakov's whole
family oldest 12 children
all his 12 sons were complete wholesome
and dedicated to god not only was his
family complete and wholesome but he was
also financially very successful as the
torah tells us
materialistically he was extremely
successful
so the rebbe asked what was the
key to yaakov's success that he was
successful both on his family home base
and both in the financial world and
thereby explains and he says like this
you find something unique with yaakov
that torah points out that his
occupation was what with sheep
sauna and derby says why does torah have
to tell us that his occupation was with
sheep so the rebbe explains and he says
because what is the idea of sown sown is
sheep but kabbalistically its own comes
from the same word of say to go out just
like the torah portion is called by yet
say which means to go out and as yaakov
realized and learned that in order to
really be successful if he relied on his
world he would be maxed out in his world
but when he was able to
say and he was able to yates to go out
of his comfort zone
whose comfort zone was he going into he
was following god whatever god asked him
to do he did
that's when he truly became successful
and that is the key to yaakov's success
to be able to deal with its own but not
only the physical zone but with the idea
of say to go out of your comfort zone
follow god whatever god asks you to do
and i think that is basically the simple
ingredient to be successful both with
your family and both in the financial
and the business world and that is to be
able to say whatever your comfort zone
is go out of your comfort zone explore
new horizons what horizons whatever god
instructs you whatever you need to do if
god wants you to do it you show up and
you do it and as long as you follow god
you will see huge success both in
building a beautiful wholesome family
and financial success
