Shnayim Yomi - Vayeitzei - Rishon - #1

[Music] welcome to pasha's vayetze and welcome to rishon as we begin our discussion of the journey from yaakov avinu as he leaves his home to go to kharan after the confrontation with asavo with the broncos torah tells us that yaakov leaves bear sheva and he goes to kharan russia brings down the famous idea that it says by say and by allah to show that when assad leaves the city and assad comes to a city there is a special impression that he leaves yaakov travels and and and he stops at haramoria rashi points out that he comes to a place that's mentioned before which is haramoria which is where archaedas yitzchak took place which was the future home of the basa magdash yaakov has his famous stream there where he sees the malachim on a ladder going up and down and we know later on from the parsha that the explanation is that the going up represented and protecting him in heritage israel coming down represented the the malachi that are protecting him uh as he leaves eretz israel um when when he wakes up in the morning it says he didn't realize that it was a basal kim and shah shaman that it was the house of hashem and it was the gateway to heaven rashi points out that he understood that this was the place where all our trilos go up to shamayim and that's why in halacha we face yerushalayim that was a discovery that yaakov made when he woke up from his dream yaakov set up a matseva to indicate he had his dream uh we all know that the material was the rock which the medrash brings down wool he took separate rocks and they all merged together to get under his head and and and that became the matseiva of his dream comes to him in the dream and promises the merits israel at the end of the at the end of the story after yaakov wakes up um that he makes a deal with the kurdish parochial he tells them that if you take me uh to love one and you're with me and you protect me and you bring me back to my father's home and peace i will give you ten percent of everything that that i take in over this period of time uh many say that the the midst of sadako comes with the ten percent comes from this idea that yaakov promised ten percent to uh to a from kardash that's the basic summary of richong for this week you
