[Applause] 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 practiced by a row the question of the week is how high career each so in this week's Torah portion we read about God coming to Abraham and Sarah and telling them they're gonna have a child they laughed they didn't think they were gonna have a child not only that but at the end of last week's Torah portion when God told Abraham that he was gonna have a child aber already had a son who was a son Ishmael and he tells gut and he tells God but you're my Rama little Kim God Abraham tells God who you should you smell you - uh-huh why do you have to give make a miracle that Sarah who kind of a child is already old we should have a child like you should all be the one that you want so the question is what does that conversation mean God says I'm gonna give you a child from Sarah so why does Abraham turn to God and say well I already have a son I have you smell so the Rebbe explains that deep conversation taking place huh Abraham tells God I already have a son what's the problem he's not behaving so let's inspire him that he should be god-fearing and it'll serve you let's educate him re-educate him what do we need to go ahead and make major miracles that Sarah who could read he couldn't have children should have a child and God says no no I know what you're thinking and you're thinking logic you're saying Sarah's old happens you have a child I already have a son so let's deal with the pieces that we have let's deal with the facts on the ground so yeesh walls not necessarily up to par so let's work on him let's make him a god-fearing Jew but God says that is a logical way of thinking that's the way humans think that's the way finite people think I would like to elevate you to a life a life based on miracles the though science logic reality tells you things can happen guess what with the help of God miracles could happen and that's why God specifically wanted that the Jewish people should come from Abraham and Sarah that gives birth to its Clark to teach us and she's part of our DNA that anything and everything is possible with the help of God that we can really all see miracles so the ends of the question HACC only reached the greatest places have faith in God believe in God that miracles can happen and miracles will happen in our lives this week's Torah lesson is a memory of bora pandari leave and Ben Yosef may their souls be elevated to the Torah that we're studying in their memory thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson for more information on Habad please see our website [Music]
