[Music] is a uh law that Tora says that it's a very complicated law because on one end says I hate him why I hate they were both the sons of the same father those was both the grandsons of ab ainu they're both sons of righteous people both sons of righteous mothers and fathers but one Hashem says I love him yov one he says I hate him why Yakov followed my says I love him he knew my but he didn't follow them that's why if you learn in the Tor you see that isav only his head was buried in but his body was thrown in the garbage he wasn't buried in why because his head knew all the if he was in this generation he would be the smartest Rabbi in the world but he was R why he knew all the but he didn't follow them so from there we see that there's a law here that it doesn't really matter whether your father is a rabbi or he's not a rabbi your grandfather father is a rabbi not a rabbi it doesn't make a difference your lineage doesn't make a difference two we see that asav is somebody that Hashem allowed to exist even though he hated him and the reason why is because some of the descendants of asav became some of the most righteous people that ever lived and thear says that Hashem was very careful how he dealt with because he did not want to destroy R because R was one of the six students that R AKA used to restart the Torah world he was a descendant of another thing is for all of the people in this generation and in previous generations especially even during the times of today but also in the times of the bet mikdash if you are a Jew you have to understand you're part of the chosen people which means the job of a dome the job of asav is going to try to destroy you it's not going to be to help you so for all of the people that like to be politically correct and like to make all types of nice deals with the go in order to make peace hasem says no matter what eventually I will use asav to destroy you punish you or simply to wake you up no matter what there is no such thing as peace between asav and yov never was and never will be so during the time of the bet mikdash some people wanted to bring peace so they figured maybe we befriend the eventually this led to into marriage and eventually led to theik same exact thing happened many times throughout history including World War III and the same thing is happening right now same thing is happening right now where a lot of religious Jews are doing all types of deals and agreements with the gim in order to uh have Unity if you will if you're going to Simply do business meaning for money purpose monetary purposes there no problem doing business with the go with the exception of three days before their holidays you're not allowed to do business with 3 days before their holidays which is another and the reason why is because if you do business with them three days before their holiday they can use the money that you give them for their idolatry go into a little more details so that's another aspect of that applies as far as how you're not allowed to do business with the G just on any day but if you want to do business you want to sell them something you want to buy something there's no problem there's no problem buying and selling from them except with the ex of those days but if you're going to do something when it comes to spirituality then you have a problem why according to the Torah if somebody was chasing a Jew trying to kill him and he has an option one option is to hide inside a church not go pray in a church not go pray to Yos just hide inside the church or die yeah has to die he has to die instead of hiding inside a church needless to say no Jew is ever allowed to attend a church even if your best friend is getting married to his love of his life doesn't make a difference even if it's some president marrying another president doesn't make a difference a Jew is never allowed to even attend the church why it's a place of idolatry so this again also of of idolatry have a lot to do with asov last but not least it's also always to remember that no matter what a person needs to understand that hasem runs the world anytime a Jew is doing good things Hashem is going to use asav Hashem is going to use asav in order to elevate the Jew even higher he's going to use the isav to build the world and develop the world and create a lot of good things for the world for the benefit of the Jew to such an extent that hasem will give some billions of dollars in order to build some huge Tower the mid says in the middle of the desert for no actual economical reason why because maybe 400 years later Hashem is going to have one of his sik one of his Jews pass in that desert and he's going to get hot so he wants to use maybe this you know a little bit of Shadow a little bit of tent so he can use that billion dollar building just for that so he doesn't get so hot meaning he's going to give the non-jew he's going to give the Gentile billions of dollars just to build a building that will be used One Time by a Jew for the Jews benefit so when the Jew is righteous Hashem will use the the uh ad he's going to use asav and Ishmael in order to elevate the Jew even higher when the Jew is wicked then hasem uses asav and also Ishmael as a tool to hit the Jew that's why throughout all of history every single time the Jews were Wicked for an extended period of time hasem used the gim time and time again in order to hurt us whether it's the bet mikdash the first one getting destroyed with millions and millions of people the second one are the prgrams the inquisitions Spanish inquisitions World War II and so on and so forth so there are different ways that you could apply this across the entire Tor I don't know exactly uh what which specific ways Corners you're looking for but I think in the last few minutes I mentioned at least a half a dozen you could apply it to [Music]
