welcome to this week's tour lesson this
week's Torah portion is Polish has told
us the question of the week is where do
we have the strength to deal with the
challenges of galut Exile so in this
week's total portion of the end of the
Torah portion the Torah tells us where
his son and he sends them away from his
home he sends him to Corona to find a
sudok and the term the Torah uses is by
islach which is a unique term it's the
first time the Torah uses the term of a
ishlach in terms of sending someone away
as a messenger so the rabbit asks a
simple question Yitzhak was at home with
Jacob and life was good
so what does he do he sends him away to
harana which we know is a rough place
it's the world and he leaves Israel so
Robert asked a simple question why did
yaaku agree to leave his father's house
to go into harun to the Wrath of the
world and why did you send him away he
could have arranged should have came to
him
so the rabbit explains and he says
because we know the stories of the
Patriarchs not just stories of the past
but it sets the tone of life
here Yitzhak was establishing light for
the Jewish people that if you want to go
and you want to accomplish you want to
do great things you want to make the
world a better place you have to leave
your comfort zone you have to leave your
parents home you have to leave your
comfortable environment and you have to
go out to the real world and possibly
the Wrath of the world a place where
you're not comfortable a place where God
is Not revealed and it's very very heavy
concealment but specifically out there
that's a jakov wins and he married and
he has his children he became extremely
wealthy so in other words if you want to
be successful in life you have to leave
your parents home your community your
comfort zone and that's where you'll
succeed but the question is how will you
succeed you're leaving it all you're
leaving your strength your power your
family and the rabbit explains because
so you can send some money or you can
leave by islach means that yet
he made him an emissary now we know when
you make someone an emissary there's
different levels you can send someone to
do something for you you can send
someone to be
your representative of certain actions
you can make him a total representative
or by ishlach where he takes your place
he becomes he's your Emissary there and
up to the point where the expression is
that yaakov was representing was with
him so what is means that yaakov when he
went it wasn't just that he went Yitzhak
was with him every step of the way the
same thing also we come down into this
world we are shlochen we are emissaries
of Hashem in this world so yes sometimes
it's tough but Hashem is with us because
he answered the question how do we have
strength to overcome some of the
challenges of galoot Exile we have to
know by islach we're all shlokim we're
all emissaries of ashram and Hashem is
with us and as long as you know and you
feel that Hashem is with you you will
succeed against any and all obstacles so
I want to wish us all a great life a
life of of success and our mission as
being Hashem Hashem us and we will
succeed
