Shnayim Yomi - Toldot - Sh'vi'i- #7

[Music] yob is going to escape his brother wants to kill him his parents are going to send him away to get married his parents send him away to get married that being the excuse to separate from esav and then the par ends with esav getting married this time around he marries in the family marrying the daughter of Ismael the opening PUK of the alah seems to be a very simple pasuk is fascinating again says sends away and he goes to son of who is the brother of who is meaning RKA is the mother of yov and Rashi picks up on the obvious question in the PUK why is the Torah telling me that is the mother of yob and I know this I've been following the story it's obvious information you want to tell me Lavan is the son ofel who's who's the brother of which I also already know but I'm setting the stage for the future story fine but why is the Tor at the culmination of a where it's very clear that if the mother of yob telling me this information says fascinatingly says rash I have no idea why the pasuk did what it did that to me is a powerful message of rashi rashi didn't have to make a comment he could have left it alone we the reader may have asked the question we would have looked to find Rashi on it he wouldn't have commented and we would have said oh it was obvious to Rashi we just don't understand it but Rashi didn't come down because it was obvious to him Rashi chooses to be honest and say it's bothering me also and I don't have an answer answer and I think there's something to be said here about a telling the world I don't know very often as people we want to have all the answers as Educators as parents as bosses As Leaders we want to have all the answers to the point where sometimes people will ask us a question and we'll fabricate an answer because I'm in the position where I'm supposed to have an answer so I have to give you something sometimes the most powerful answer we can give to somebody else is the honest truth and say it's a great question I don't know and I'd love to explore that together with you and maybe we can collaborate and put our minds together and come and come up with an answer but right now I simply don't have one for you that is the beauty of Rashi in a very powerful commentary that he makes on a pasuk that he didn't have to comment on the power of being able to be honest enough and humble enough to say I don't [Music] know
