Shnayim Yomi - Yitro - D'var Torah

[Music] quick idea of this week's parashat we said before moshe bino has two children the first son was named ken because i was a stranger in a strange land the second son his name was a person's name influences his behaviors influences his personality influences his character gerasham his name was about always feeling like a stranger in a strange land and the biggest by the way that's why he says so fortunate that his name was getting shown because at all points this man would always feel like i'm a stranger i'm not part of society i shouldn't come and uh inculcate into society i shouldn't assimilate that's wonderful it's a beautiful name and yet we see later on in sephi shaftim that gereshome had a child who was a priest for abu dhabi it was the son of moshe this kid show ashore had a child who was a priest how could that be if his whole being was i don't assimilate i don't get involved in society i don't get involved in foreign cultures how could it be that his child his child was the head priest and it's very possible that yes shema your name does help form who you are but at the end of the day you make your name you make a reputation my decision so the the name that you are given is your potential that comes and helps you uh within a certain framework but it's you has to make your name and we see it throughout with the metaglim that their names were a result of their actions and who they became not who they were comes and writes and they believe it's decide what kind of person you're going to be so yes your name is your framework it's your potential but what you do with it is your legacy we wish you a shabbat full of tranquility serenity and peace
