it's time for Rabbi Minka wits weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight
rabbi Minka wits welcome to this week's
Torah lesson this week's Torah portion
is partially Yeats a question of the
week is where can we find strength to
overcome challenges so in this week's
Torah portion postulate a the Torah
tells us
Yaakov leesburg shava and he goes out
Corona and karana comes from the word of
her own half the wrath of the world and
he comes to the place this special place
he lays down and he goes to sleep Torah
tells us he sees in the sleep a dream
with a ladder and so on and so forth but
in the mandra's it says that when Yaakov
goes to sleep
what was he doing when he was sleeping
and the herb says you know Yaakov really
doesn't sleep he was sleeping what was
he sleeping
so the meddra says Yaakov was saying
something and what was he saying
so the mentor says Yaakov was saying and
he was reciting the test of the 15 songs
that start off with cheer hum alone a
song of ascension and that's what Yaakov
was saying so he asked a simple question
what was the purpose of saying this
shiromar load and be why those 15 solar
me says an interesting phenomenon
because the power of 15 is extremely
powerful why because the years that
Avraham and get stuck and Yaakov were
alive at one specific time it was the
end of the life of Abram and let's say
the middle of the Yitzhak and the end
the beginning of Yaakov was 15 years so
for 15 years the three patriarchs lived
together for those 15 powerful years
that Avril meets our Yaakov lived
together which represents you know has
said Gloria and Tavares the three spirit
every one of those intertwined by five
see a 15 powerful spirit so King David
composed a serum alone now why
specifically the serum alone you
the shoe huh my lord says shear song
have my load an ascension in other words
when a person is going through life and
you're going through challenges you need
power to go through it so King David
based on the inspiration of the 15 years
that meets a cracker lives together he
taught us that ultimately every
challenge that the patriarchs went
through and that we go through the
purpose is not because we're supposed to
be challenged not because of the descent
on the contrary the purposes for the
Hamal load for the ascent that comes
afterwards so in other words Hervey
explains what was Yakko saying the
madness that's what was Yakko saying
he's saying this share my load and
that's why are you saying this Jeremiah
load because Yaakov was going out into
the world going to face challenges and
he was saying to himself oh my gosh
where am I gonna have the power and the
strength to overcome the challenges and
he said one thing share my load as long
as I can focus and realize that the
whole purpose of the challenge and even
though right now is a challenge but the
purpose is for the Hamal load for the
ascent that's gonna come afterwards I'm
okay and I'm strong and as long as I can
keep on saying sheer how am i alone it's
a song because we're going up I'll be
able to get through it and the truth is
Yaakov went through it so the answer the
question where do we find the strength
to overcome challenges very simple shear
hama load realize that every challenge
you're going through it's not about the
challenge it's about the ascent that's
gonna happen after the challenge
