Shnayim Yomi - Toldot - Sh'vi'i - #7 - Rabbi Yechiel Spero - Blessings First!

Hello, it is Yimi and I want to thank Elad once again and the whole Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your week. What an uplifting and beautiful experience this has been. May we all be to continue the that is sweeping the nation and may continue to see such incredible and success. And we come to the end of the parish and it's time for Yakov and Asov to go looking for their but at the end of Shishi before it's very interesting before he tells where to get his from. It says and he benched him and then he says to him and then he commanded him. First he benches him and then he commands him. Why in that order? And why are they connected? What is blessing Jacob have to do with commanding him not to marry a girl from a family that's not good for him? And says an amazing idea. Theim says because if you want to tell your child not to do something and you want to command him, first bless him, first bench him, first show him how much you love him. And only after you show him how much you love him and he knows how much you care for him, then will he listen to the commands that you've given him. Of course, we want our children to listen to us. And sometimes we need to command them, but don't ever forget to first bless them. And through that blessing, they'll listen to the commands that they need to heed. And through that, we'll all have the nas that we so desperately yearn for. Have a beautiful Shabas Kaidesh. Looking forward to the next time. Zazant.
