at the end of the first aah so
yobu he has this famous dream when he
wakes up from the dream he he vows to
Hashem he makes
aov and yov makes
this This Promise This
vow will always be with
me and he will protect me he'll always
be next to
me where I'm
going and if he gives me bread to eat
and he gives me clothing to
wear it's interesting that yov wanted a
guarantee that was always going to have
food and he asks Hashem he said says
please give me this
guarantee and I want to
guarantee that I also return to my
father's
house shom in peace why did have to
say why did he say give me bread to eat
and give me clothing to wear just say
give me bread give me food and give me
clothing obviously right you're not
going to eat the clothing right you're
not going to right you're not going to
wear the wear the bread right just say
give me bread give me food obviously
he's going to eat the food give me
clothing and obviously I'm going to wear
the clothing she just
Sayed that's all that would be enough
why did yakovina have to say and specify
give me bread to eat and give me
clothing to wear I'll tell you I I once
went to visit a very very successful man
very very wealthy man and he had
diabetes and he was in the hospital and
he told me an Insight on this PK and he
said to me I could eat what I could
afford to have any food any delicacy in
the world he said I could buy any food I
want I could hire the greatest chefs but
because I have diabetes he says I'm not
allowed to eat most of the foods and I
can't have them he said you see I'm in a
hospital gown at home I have a whole
wardrobe I have clothing and clothing
and I can't wear it he said and that's
the that's the that's what the PK means
that when we are ding to Hashem that we
should have
food it's not enough just to have it
sure you could go out you could afford
to have the most extravagant meal but
you want to be able to eat it you want
to have the good health you want to be
able to sit down and to enjoy it and you
that's that that's what Yakov knew and
the same thing with B the same thing
with clothing you could have all the
money in the world and you could go and
buy you know Wonderful wardrobe but
however if you're not well or for
whatever reason reason and you don't
have the opportunity to to wear it
so so then what good is it to have a
closet full of beautiful suits and
clothing and a wardrobe if you're not
able to wear it and that's why yob ainu
said in his when he wanted that
guarantee he said to not only do I want
the food not only do I want the clothing
he says I want to be able to enjoy life
I want to be able to appreciate it I
want to be able to have it as part of my
life I want to be able enjoy it and eat
it and want to be able to have
opportunities to go places where I could
wear these clothing I could have SIM in
my life and I could have the good health
to always wear wear wear these clothing
also and not to God forbid to have to be
in a hospital gown where you can't wear
your clothing that you want to that you
want to wear and that's a beautiful
Insight I think on this in the
first hope you enjoyed and I I hope you
understand the appreciate these messages
and everyone should have a wonderful
wonderful
