Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Vayechi

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is pasha's vairi the question of the week is what is the powerful blessing given to yehuda so in this week's torah portion partial the blessing to yehudah is yehuda after you do and the question is what is that powerful blessing so we know that ruvain the oldest of yaakov's sons ruling comes from the word of to see to see seeing is cut when do you see things when they're close by you can see it when you see something close by what feeling does that evoke that evokes love for hashem so ruling is about seeing seeing come close which evokes the feeling of love shimon on the other hand represents the idea of hearing hearing is from far hearing from far represents the idea and evokes the feeling of awful hashem levy on the other hand is the expression of cleaving and that's what happens when we do bits voice when we do a mitzvah we cleave to hashem yehuda is a whole different level you it is acceptance and acceptance that is pure humility so reuven and shimon and levy which is seeing which is love hearing which is all and cleaving through its voice it's amazing but it's limited because it's limited to something it's limited to love to or it's limited to the mitzvah that you're cleaving to on the other hand you who that because total acceptance that's the relationship of the infinite so the answer to the question what is the powerful blessing given to yehuda the power of acceptance because we have acceptance we connect to the infinite thanks so much for joining our weekly torah lesson this week's torah lesson is dedicated to the memory of baruch and yosef and may their souls be elevated by torah with studying in their memory for more information please see our website have a great and blessed week shavuotv
