so now we continue in yakov's family
meets asov they have this nice Embrace
now Yo's family comes to meet asov and
Yakov is extending still he wants to
give gifts over to
as he says I have a lot I have plenty
right and he's he's he's trying to push
back he doesn't want on the gifts we see
the contrast between asa's approach and
yakov's approach about possessions
because we see just T took him later
that Yakov retorts back to him yes I
have everything right that the true
formula for happiness is knowing that
you have everything every morning we
say I have everything that I need if you
can work on viewing everything that you
have as everything that you need that's
the difference between the Yakov and the
a of the world who have genuine
happiness and people who will never be
satisfied um ASA offers to accompany
Yakov Yakov very very delicately um
rejects the offer using it as an excuse
that he has a large family and therefore
they they they're going to take some
time and go very very slow but would
just rather no no longer be in the
presence of Asa who try to minimize you
know the company of asov the
yov right we see that over here that the
name of the area where Yakov built sukot
for himself and for his his animals they
called Shak suot we know there's there's
lots of perim that that that parallel
the holiday of toov but we see the or
comments on this that it's a very very
it's the first time that you see that
tents were built for animals that is
displayed a certain elevated level of
hakar that Yakov had that we should
always be able to view everybody body
that does any service for you as
important it t it tends to be that we
only give certain high level people
respect and we rever them but even the
low people who in your mind maybe are on
a lower level you should view them with
the same dignity and same
respect
