Shnayim Yomi - Ki Tavo - Shishi - #6 - Reb Eliav Friedman - When We Serve Properly

She she passes Ki Savo. She she is the Aliyah which has in it the Tochacha. This trip it's a long it's a long Aliyah. Get ready for it. The Shaliach Tzibur will read long Aliyah in She she. We're going to talk about a possuk which comes before we get into the Tochacha. We're talking about the brachos before that. And the this is said in the name of Rebbi Shmuel Avigdor Feivelsohn who was an amazing in a city in Europe that I can't even say the name so I'm not going to try. And he says a fascinating thing. He says every animal we find in nature has some me mode means of defense. It might have talents. It may it has nails. It has it has sharp teeth. It has horns. Even the animals that are prey as opposed to being predators they have some way to defend itself. The porcupine turns up to a ball. Every has one a way of defending itself except the one. The sheep. The sheep's got nothing. He has no means of defense. So sheep there's no there are no wild sheep. Sheep are always have to be taken care of by their owners. They give their milk. They give their wool etc. And in return they get protected by their owners. So too every nation in the world was given a a midah or or or tchunah that they have their means of defending themselves. So Eisav is Al Cherev Chayischa. That's the nature of Eisav. He he's he knows how to wage war. Yishmael Yado Bakol V'yad Kol Bo. He he's his hands are everywhere. That's that's how he takes care of himself. For better or for worse. There's one nation that has nothing like that. That's Klal Yisrael. We have no natural means of defense. But the possuk tells us that when we're serving Hashem properly V'ra'u Kol Ammei Ha'aretz Ki Shem Hashem Nikra Alecha V'yaru Mimmecha. But all of all of the world will see. Kol Ammei Ha'aretz will see Ki Shem Hashem Nikra Alecha that the name of Hashem is placed upon his That's what you're called God's nation. V'yaru Mimmecha and they'll fear you. When we're serving Hashem properly and Hashem's name can rest upon us we've earned that title then we We be protected. Why? Because just like the sheep is prepared is protected by their owners, by their bylaw, we're protected by our bylaw when we're worthy to be called his beloved.
