it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight rabbi megawatts welcome to this
week's Torah lesson this week's Torah
portion is partial zaira the question of
the week is hack on you merit to
actually see Hashem so in this week's
Torah portion practice by a row as a
name is God appears to tabor him and the
question is asked very very simple God
appears to Abraham God has been speaking
to Abraham the last hole Torah portion
Pontius la cuca we tells him to leave
the land and all the tests that he has
and so on and so forth so what happened
all of a sudden that he got this great
revelation about Ava in this week's
Torah portion of the Zohar which is
actually from Kabbalah says that in last
week's Torah portion all the revelations
that God had with Abraham was all like
in a vision it was a blurred vision this
week's Torah portion is of Iowa 100% a
revelation of God without any blockages
what's the difference very simple in
last week's Torah portion at the end of
the Torah portion something dramatic
took place where Abraham was commanded
by God to circumcise themselves and he
circumcised myself at an age of 99 so
this week's Torah portion begins with a
new Abraham what's the new Abraham
Abraham that was circumcised so what's
the difference being a brown before
circumcision after circumcision so the
webby explains very insightful as
follows that up until Abraham
circumcised himself Abraham seat be
searched out for God and he was willing
to sacrifice himself for God do what I
do it you know do anything to show that
he was a hunter and committed to God
however there was one difference up
until the circumcision he was doing it
on his own accord he wanted to become
close to God he was willing to do things
he's willing to go push his limits etc
what happened by circumcision here God
came to him and stood a circumcised
themselves and here you have to go
listen to God not based on his own
inspiration who decided he wanted
please to God but he was listening to
God because God came and commanded him
and instruct them for the circumcision
so in other words as long as you're
doing as long as you're doing and you're
connecting to God based on your own
accord where it feels good where it
makes sense and you want to you'll have
it you'll have a vision but it's going
to be a blurred not as the terms of
Kabbalah among said it's a vision which
is blurred once you do what God wants
because God is asking you to do so and
you're notifying yourself to God then
you can merit to the real by a rose so
the answer the question hacking your
merit to actually CSM is to cleave to
God by doing what the missiles God is
asking you for you to do whether it's a
Torah study pray or any Mitzvah what God
asks you to do do what God asks and you
will merit to see Hashem revealed way
