at the end of the first aliyah
so yakov avinu
he has this famous dream when he wakes
up from the dream
he he vows to hashem he makes a deader
yakov
and yaakov makes this
this promise this vow emilia elokimi
muddy if hashem will always
be with me ushimarani badara
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 it gives me clothing to wear
shaft
hashem lila loki
it's interesting
that
yakov avinu wanted to guarantee there's
always going to have food and he asks
hashem he says please give me this
guarantee
and
i want to guarantee for shafty vishal
and basabi that i also returned to my
father's house
in bisholm in peace why did yaakov avinu
have to say vinos
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
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 she's going to eat the food
give me clothing and obviously i'm going
to wear the clothing she's let's say but
also let me let him who vegan
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 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 puzzle
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 uh that's that's
what the puzzle means that when we are
diving into hashem that we should have
food venously left him 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 yaakov knew and the
same thing with the gundam the same
thing with clothing you could have all
the money in the world and you could go
and buy
you know one wonderful wardrobe but
however
if you're not well or for whatever
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 jacob lavino said in his
when he wanted that guarantee he said
touch him 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 venus
i want to be able to enjoy it and eat it
ooh
i want to be able to have opportunities
to go places where i could wear these
clothes i could have similars in my life
and i could have the good health to
always wear wear wear these clothing you
know also and not to show them 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 puzzle cuff in the first aliyah and
pashas by yeah
i hope you enjoyed and i hope you
understand these appreciate these
messages and everyone should have a
wonderful wonderful shop
