Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Vayishlach 5781

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is pashas vayishlach the question of the week is what can we do to help a struggling child so this week's torah portion passes for islam the torah begins by islam sends angels to aesop so the rubber asks a very simple question yaakov why is he sending angels angels belong to god and we all know an angel could do one mission at a time and if the angels working for yaakov he can't be doing the mission of hashem the rabbi explains his followers yaakov went out last week to kharon why did he go to kharan he went out to the world to transform laban he was coming back to finish his transformation of esau because once he finishes the transformation elevates the holy sparks mashiach is ready to come so this is the most important mission he's ready to meet up esau because yaakov believes the world is ready for mashiach to come and therefore because it was such an important mission he engaged the angels to be part and help him in finishing our mission in this world of bringing mashiach but guess what they come to asa and they say yaakov is coming to you and they come back to yaakov with the bad news you think you're meeting esau you're ready to finish up eso's not on the same page he wants to come and kill you what does yaakov do yaakov from his perspective realizes the world is ready for mashiach to come but asap is not ready what does yaakov do sure says something very powerful yaakov knows transformation is done but asap has to be on board so what is yaakov supposed to do so what yakov does is to be busy with arguing confrontation there's no reason to that was all done he does one thing on one thing only the torah tells clearly he sends presents he sends light positive energy when he meets him and he asks him what are all these people and he says we're only here to find favor in your eyes sharing positive thoughts positive words positive gifts the rebbe says you see clearly from yaakov perspective the world is ready for mashiach the only thing we need to do is no more confrontation no more transformation just bringing light into the world and especially as driver says that we're celebrating this week utah slave the author went out of prison and that's when the intense tremendous revolution of qasid is being shared all over the world so how much more so the world is ready all we need to do is not be busy with any transformation any conflict any negativity any anything critical just bringing in light into the world whether it's through a verbal appreciation or through gifts or through learning torah just bringing light into the world so the answer to the question how to deal with a struggling child no confrontation no struggles just words of confirmation words of compliments gifts blessings only great things that's all what's left for us to do until the final revelation of mashiach coming thanks so much for joining us for our weekly torah lesson this week's horror lesson is dedicated to the memory of barak banari leib shlomov yosev and rahul baslipa may their souls be elevated by the torah we're studying in their memory have a great and blessed week a week filled with bringing light into the world for more information please see our website chabadswf.org have a great and blessed week
