the first aaliyah rishon and we know
that
parches todos ended off
with
jaco avinu having to run away from his
brother asaf his brother isab said that
he's going to kill him because he stole
the bracha from him and the bracha that
his father yitzhak was was intended to
give
to
to give asav however yaakov we know the
story he disguised himself and he went
in and he kind of quote unquote stole
the bracha as uh as asaf put it and he
said that he actually stole something
from me twice he took the horror the
birthright from me he also took the
bracha from me and he's therefore vowed
and he said i'm going to kill my brother
yaakov so yaakov has to run away so he
to escape the wrath of his brother asav
so the opening pulsar
is leaving now and he's leaving
beershova he's leaving beersheva and
he's going to hero and he told his
his parents his mother actually told him
to do so that he should go to harare he
should go to love on the house of lovan
and there he should marry the daughter
of lavan which is his uncle his first
cousin his uncle's daughter
rifka's brother love on his children and
go there so you should be able to marry
one of one of the daughters and that's
how the
the uh aaliyah begins with yates
of course rashi makes his famous comment
and saying that why do we have to learn
about yaakov leaving it should just
speak more about
the the objective of him going to kharan
it should just the passage should read
that yaakov
what is the point of mentioning that so
rashi famously says that when sadiq
leaves a certain town so that makes a
big roshan that makes an influence on
the town that now there's a void that
this sadiq has left and that's why they
want to teach us this idea of
don't think that berseva is going to be
the same beer sheva with yakov and
without yakov and now there's a there's
some sort of a void there the puzzle
continues
an interesting word it says by god what
is like
means he encountered he happened upon
the place why does it just say hi
malcolm he came to this place what if
god's a very strange language and of
course the many imagerushim about the
word vayifka that he bumped into the
place he encountered the place he
happened upon the place what does that
word mean exactly there are many
different halachas that we learned from
the word by ifgar and
one of the gemara in brachas
and khabzain the gemara says from here
we see that yaakov avinu instituted
what we called filas arvis marev he it
was nighttime and hiddavin marv so
what's
got is that he happened upon it because
he had to reconsider he passed by
unintentionally not knowing that this
was the parham maria not knowing that
this will was where the akedah is not
knowing not realizing he wasn't
sensitive at that time that this was
going to be the makam hamikdesh when he
realized what it was so he turned back
and then he came back to the place and
hashem made the sunset it wasn't yet
nighttime and the sun was setting early
and the sun was setting early and
therefore he's knew that he had to dive
in marav and for this reason that hashem
changed the nature of the world and it
was by ifka and it happened kind of like
accidentally that's why we could dive in
marv early because really it was still
daytime and hashem just made it
nighttime so yaakov avinu could sleep
and he and he could rest and he could
because he was learning and shibushima
ava for 14 years he needed a break so
then he instituted marv but it was
really still daylight that's why we dive
marv in the summertime but it's still
daylight we could do that also this is
why the talmud the gemara says in
brachas that marv might even be irishus
because again look at the language by
ifgar he happened upon it wasn't that
intentional so therefore there's a
possibility that marv isn't really
an obligatory like chakrasan minha but
rather it could be optional a certain
way as to be shown in mestosis and
others discuss what that means exactly
as marav could be irishus because he
didn't intend necessarily to darwin
marvel
