Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Parsha Vayishlach What is a Shliach?

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's power portion is part of the question is what is a schliach so in this week's third portion Begins by ishlachim yakoi sends Messengers and he used the term by islaq so the question is what does it mean by Yeshua so the rabba explains as follows what is a schliach is somebody that is being sent and is being sent to follow a certain directive of a certain Mission and if you violate from the mission that you would send for you you lose your title of being a shriyak you're not a messenger that is point number one Point number two a schliac has given all the tools he needs to accomplish his mission and point number three is the schlier someone that's supposed to use his own mind his own heart his own abilities to accomplish his mission so the rebel says every single one of us are sent down here from God as isliach we're Messengers from God to accomplish a mission and the mission is to make a dwelling place for God down here in this world so our mission is clear to make a dwelling place for God in this world we cannot Veer from that mission we're given tools to accomplish our mission what are the tools we're given we're given the tools of Torah by learning Torah will have the tools so we'll fill our mission and we're giving the tools of doing Mitzvahs we do it ourselves and we Inspire others to do it and the third thing we have to know is yes we have a specific mission to make a Dwelling Place With God down here we're giving Toyota mentors to accomplish our mission but God wants us to use our god-given brain heart abilities to accomplish our mission with on our style the goal is doesn't change we're here to make a dwelling place for ashram we have Turan Mitzvahs how we present it how we make it happen that's totally independent That's Unique up to us so the answer the question what is a shliach a schlier has a defined Mission and he's given the tools to accomplish the mission but the schlier uses his talent to accomplish his god-given mission so let's hope and pray that each of us are successful in our mission in this world to make a dwelling place for Hashem each with us in our unique way God gave us the tools and we will all be successful have a great and blessed week this week's Torah lessons dedicated to memory of Baruch label yourself May their souls be elevated by a Torah were studying in their memory have a great and blessed week shavua told for more information please see our website kabad swf.org
