I think that caught my mind and
but before before we get to that those
Sukkot that caught my eyes and Parshat
Vayeitzei I want to talk David about the
year of Yaakov Avinu for a few minutes.
This fast this is busy yearly discussing
it.
And we have to like see it through our
experiences like the Torah Yaakov Avinu
has the first prophecy of his life. He
has an avoid.
And what's this this lofty elevated
remarkable experience
of what of an avoid of a prophecy he
connects to Hashem in the deepest way of
his life.
And he wakes up by
Yaakov
wakes up his first prophecy.
And he says
Hashem is really a daughter of year.
There's a year.
And this fast
yearly was busy studying what's this
year? It's a very important topic. We
all have big moments in our life very
spiritual
powerful moments moments of great
ascension.
We have Miller spoke about a moment in
his life when he was pandering a flower
and he said he reached my dragon in the
Carpathian Mountains and he says he was
carved in the war. He felt that it was
like close to prophecy.
We've all had moments of
Torah like where you were
engrossed and you felt like a big
earlier might have been a certain
we were involved in all different
reasons and cases and stories in our
lives where we have
moments of like tremendous staying and
growth and care of Hashem.
And it's fascinating and this fast
yearly was busy with this. It's it's
important what to to observe and study
what happens to Yakov Avinu is afraid.
Is
But I was a youngster, my father told me
I'm not coming to any way, not just for
sure, not making fun
for sure, for sure. It's terrible on
each side. My father would describe the
night after the seder two sadikim.
After the seder and one sadik was like a
wreck the next morning. He was like a
mess.
And my father said he was just this
sadik was so worried. There was so many
mix with the night before. He was like a
wreck.
Just a sense of like that I do them
right. It's so much pressure and
overwhelming was a wreck.
And another sadik that came the next
morning was shining like
so so the whole night I was asking
Hashem.
Now, we can imagine I can say personally
I'm more drawn to the sadik who the next
morning was so excited that the years.
I've told people I've told people who
bought new things. A guy buys a new car.
If it's just a worry about the thing
getting nicked, did you get anything
good already? Like that's the whole
worry about your car. The Velvets is a
joke. A guy says to his mother, he says,
"Ma, you know that vase you always
worried I would break? Don't worry
anymore."
Like the whole thing is just
worry. Like that's the whole thing.
So I was not very moved by the sadik.
I'm not making fun in any which way and
somebody could say I
There's There's what to see in that
sadik who the next morning was a wreck.
I could say it's hard for me to be drawn
that way. Somebody could tie it and I
could even give a shot.
Maybe in this
I really want to study Yakov I want to I
want to This is a big thing for us. The
Yakov is response to this moment of
prophecy of Nevuah. This moment of base
of Kim, the moment of seeing his own
godless this foreign brain that he saw
how his activities
granted are rooted in the ground but
he saw the impact.
When the base
learned with the angel the magid
mesharim said the magid told him if you
would know what your tire is doing in
shamayim you wouldn't be able to sleep
at night. You're just unaware. If you
would know you couldn't sleep. The
told the base said said if you knew the
impact of your tire you'd never fall
asleep you wouldn't stop learning.
So
you're just not aware.
is made aware like his actions
you know what you're doing is like you
impacting all of us.
If somebody the
describes
when somebody learns tire what happens.
I don't emotionally I can't like if I
would be able to feel it our learning my
learning would be you wouldn't stop
learning. He describes things that I
want to like connect to it's like I hear
intellectually I hear. It's hard if if
somebody would emotionally experience
that what their tire is doing
the magid told the base if you would
like be aware you wouldn't go to sleep.
Now you could ask the magid told him so
that he stopped sleeping after. Of
course that is not saying the idea.
Saying if it would be like part of your
consciousness it's not the piece of you
could read anybody could open
left him.
If but if you could somehow emotionally
like like it hits you you experience
tire what tire it is what it does and
it's and certainly there's amounts we
could experience this.
What What this and Yaakov Avinu learns
it he learns the impact and his response
of learning this, of learning that
the impact of your actions is
fear. What is that? What is that? What's
that experience? He's now scared.
So the Sfas Emes yearly would grapple
but you understand that the Sfas Emes
was like studying Torah. He's he's
learning us, he's learning he's
understanding Yaakov Avinu. This was
like the topic in Parshas Vayeitzei that
yearly the Sfas Emes was but I I
expressed to this chevreh a few times.
It's like you see the energy of Sfas
Emes is not like, "Hey, this year maybe
I'll say another chat like l'kavod the
year."
He's not like saying chat in different
years like, you know, "Hey." It's not
how you learn, it's not how you learn
Torah. You yearly the kasha moved him
year after year and spoke to him then he
was a year different than a year of more
and a year of going through different
things. The kasha bothers energy. The
year of Yaakov I would like to
contemplate. I think I'm going to ask
this question the rest of my life. I
think so.
The year of Yaakov Avinu, what's the
experience? What's happening? What's he
moved? Anybody who studies Beis
Hamikdash knows this is Mikdashi tira'u.
There's a big inyan v'sham na'avodcha
b'yirah.
There's a big inyan here of the year of
some year that comes.
So I want to share two of the years. I'm
not I don't want to like tell you chat,
that's not what I want to do. I want to
like experience ourselves. There are two
things that are very beautiful reactions
to big madregas.
And the Sfas Emes in two years, he says
many years, he said different things.
And this is just one man's attempt the
Sfas Emes to try to he says very few
words k'derech Rishonim. I want to share
two experiences that I think we all can
relate to that's very, very powerful. He
says one is responsibility. That's the
word the Sfas Emes says.
The year of Yaakov's the realization,
like we're a lot. We have an neshama,
it's a big thing.
And the sense of responsibility.
It might even be that side that could
Pesach morning look like very matured.
There might be some of this that's
there.
Did I do what I'm supposed to do?
There should be a simcha also, but
there's a year of the sense, a certain
chaos, a certain it's even a drive, it's
an energy of war.
I'm alive and there's a lot I could do.
Let's go.
It's not a year that that that that that
locks somebody up. There's an energy of
war. Okay, let
Somebody finds out what they could do
and who they are and what they mean.
And that they have a tremendous ar. The
year is a sense of The Sfas Emes one
year describes a sense of responsibility
that Yaakov I made, that he's there's a
world he's going to build. Reshis
Yeshaim. He's bechira of us. He has
something he's charged. And one year the
Sfas Emes says that's the year of a
great sense of responsibility.
The fear is just an awareness of wow, I
have a lot to do.
And that's one one aspect of the year of
Yaakov Avinu and and the year that a
person that all of us are shiyach to,
it's a very beautiful response to
sensing one owns not a gaiva, not an
arrogance, a haughtiness, looking down
at anybody else, but Yaakov Avinu with a
of responsibility.
That realization of what I am, of what I
have, and the neshama that he's gifted
with is a year of responsibility. That's
what the Sfas Emes said, one year.
Another year, what the Sfas And again,
this is the way I'm understanding what
the Sfas Emes came to, and I'm saying
this is something I'm asking people to
contemplate what it What's happening
here? What's [snorts] this year of
Another sense of the year of
>> [snorts]
>> is the tremendous sense that I'm
functioning with lifnei Hashem. And he
says there's a certain reverence,
a sense of the importance of our
actions. I didn't have like the meaning
of what I do.
And the functioning with lifnei Hashem
is wow.
This is big. So, there's one a sense of
responsibility and taking more and
owning up more and and trying to pull
more out. I could do much more. That's
one year. The Sfas Emes said a hakara
that a person can have. And another is a
humility, the schuss of being lifnei
Hashem.
We do and we accomplish, but somebody
can have I'm functioning with lifnei
Hashem. He's watching me. He cares about
what I do. It's significant what I do. I
didn't realize I didn't realize what an
audience I have. I didn't realize the
the functioning with lifnei Hashem. And
one year, there's like people use this
line, I'm like humbled.
They come, but they did something big
and accomplished, they said, "I'm
humbled by this."
A sense that Hashem gave me the
opportunity to serve in front of Hashem.
There's a line of this There's a line of
the Mesillas Yesharim who describes that
asiyas hamitzvos is omed lifnei Hashem,
just like Shmoneh Esrei.
It's interesting cuz the Ben Ish Hai
writes that bishas hamitzvah tzelos shel
Adam nishmas. The Mesillas Yesharim's
mefur that Shmoneh Esrei and
the
same as before the same as before.
And there's a kind of a person
like
I was very big what I was doing.
When a person has an recognition of the
and the seriousness of his actions,
there's a year of a sense of humble
what is this?
I'm able to do things that count and
matter of fact. And there's a year of
the year of humility and a sense of
the same as a function of the same as a
function of. Those are two of the years
that the
same as the year
I wanted to specifically share with the
same as the sense of responsibility a
year of the same as the sense of
recognition by year
the year
as a year of.
A sense of fire and a sense of I've been
gifted a lot.
And this portion I could do a lot with
this. I could do a lot with this. That
how kind of a person great moments is a
very is a very neat thing for a person
to to hold on to and to carry that sense
of responsibility. I am a lot and could
do a lot and there's a year of that
comes in that a sense of responsibility.
So I wanted to share this. I asked the
person to think about it this year of
that the same as the same as yearly we
try to contemplate the year of the same
as the same as the same
I find his different thoughts on it very
moving. And if I could say that all of
us have their own we come from the
office studying the office is to study
ourselves. And the year of the year of
the year of the year of the year of the
year of the year of the year of the year
of the year.
That's a beautiful type of year of the
like to to try to learn it to try to
understand it. This is something the
same as the same as wasn't just willing
to say the year of the year of the year
yearly he would like try to contemplate
the year of Yaakov Avinu. I wanted that
specific year that he was year as a year
of discovering
Hashem
before.
Person reaches up where we're so here
and we have
to big things, the sense of
responsibility that could drive a person
and cause tremendous activity,
tremendous fire. And that he says is
like the nervousness. I've been given a
lot. Wow.
It's heavy on a person, the sense of
responsibility.
A friend of mine, a friend of ours,
somebody won the lottery this week. A
friend of mine won the lottery. So, I
was like thinking like a person finds
out they have tons of money.
They have a nice number and then becomes
like the first is
then it's like a sense of
responsibility. What am I going to do?
What am I going to build? How do I use
this? What do you create? All of a
sudden you have money.
In a certain way that's like the year
after all the joy and there's a
tremendous joy of having the person
rich. There's also a sense of wow.
Okay, okay. What am I going to do with
this? That's like the year of Yaakov
Avinu. That's how the
one year sense of I have like big
possibilities.
Much more than billions of dollars. We
have a
relationship.
Our actions are very big and our
reaches crazy places we have.
That sense of responsibilities like a
serious thing and
maybe in some way relates to the
nervousness of that side that like was
worried. I'm not that mean the energy is
a chaos. I don't know if it would look
overwhelming as much as it would be
like, okay, rolling up the sleeve. You
got to get to work. I don't know like
there's there's there's there's things
to do here. I picture after winning,
after the joy of winning.
On in lottery it always says, "All you
need is a dollar and a dream." I always
say, "If you dream, you don't even need
the dollar." Like I'm busy thinking
about what to do with the money like
somebody else won it. If you have the
dream, you don't need the dollar maybe.
But but it like hits me this could that
to to to get a lot after your initial
joy is oh my goodness like there's a lot
I could do. Okay, what are we going to
do now? Okay, there's a I don't know.
You have to like figure it out. That's
the year of the
year is one year. So that's the year of
literally. That's how I understand he
learned. If somebody has a different
shot, I'm I'm I'm comfortable somebody
saying a different shot
in this year of
one year this
apparently the way I
when you hear this he's very brief. The
way one guy understood this
that's how I understood one year's
conclusion of that year. I think there's
a very beautiful space in our own to
Hashem.
We have a good moment, a good
a good period and a person feels it
that's something cool to tap into. To
have we have a big luck.
And what am I doing with that? Okay, so
let me look at the
of that. It's a good place to tap into.
I I leave it to the
contemplate this year of you.
The that caught my attention and I've
been handling with David a lot and
there's a word David that I can't figure
out. I'm going to share a from from the
picture.
But I'd be honest that I haven't figured
I can't figure it out.
comes to Haran
and obviously the first thing counter
there is a big deal and it's the the
middle of you have
and he sees shepherds
that with their sheep that by day time
you're supposed to pasture the sheep in
the fields and the shepherds are lazing
around by the well. It's not
appropriate. They're sitting there.
Rashi says the cattle are raised and
they're lying down.
Now, during the day, the system is by
day, animals need to drink by day. You
bring them to the well, they drink, and
then you bring them right back to
pasture. At night, when they're over,
then they lazy around and the animals
will lie down. They're done for the day.
By day, you bring them to the well,
quick drink, and then you bring them
right out to the sudden again.
Yaakov comes to the well
and he sees this company. He talks to
the haverah for a while.
Do you know Lavan? We know him.
Then Yaakov Avinu gives mussar to the
shepherds. And he says, "Hein
The day is still early. It's not the
time to gather the sheep yet. Hashku
atzain, give them to drink. Ulchu u go
pasture." There's one word I can't
figure out the word hein.
I looked in sefarim. The word hein by
the word I don't know what the word
hein. It's an ex-
There's no extra word in the Torah. I
could read the pasuk perfectly. I don't
know what the word hein is saying. That
word hein, heinon. He says, "Bayom oida
yam gadol, still a time left in the day.
It's not time to gather the sheep. Give
them to drink and get out of here."
The word hein Rav Avia I can't figure
out pshat. I like like reading Torah.
Hein. I don't know what the word hein.
It don't If the pasuk would be written
without the hein, I would read it just
perfectly. Bayom oida yam gadol.
I can't figure out what the word hein
what hein is saying. Heinon. It doesn't
He said to them, "Bayom oida yam gadol,
there's still a lot of time left to the
day, Avvi. Oida yam gadol, it's early.
Lo yeisei asav mikneh, it's not time to
gather the sheep."
Hashkua l'chu, go give the I don't know
shimmy. I can't figure out the word ain.
It does I don't know it doesn't seem to
add anything. It's it's very much on my
brain.
The possuk caught my eyes for something
else and then I just can't read the word
ain. We'll get to the word ain in a
second. I wonder Rav Elie that Rashi
says a p'shat here that's important
Rashi. I wonder David that Rashi's
addressing the ain. He doesn't say that
Rashi doesn't ask on the ain. But Rashi
says that he sees they're lazying around
and he says like a memunah shach to
them. He says, "I don't know you guys. I
just don't know you. I'm new to town."
If these are your If you're If you're
hired workers, let's read the Rashi.
Amar lem
einai dayai magadol. He quotes the ain,
but he quotes the whole possuk. K'ilu
I'm meaning im s'chirei yom item. If
you're hired workers, lo yishlam tem
p'ulaso yam. You're going to have them.
You're literally a thief.
Yaakov is an amustakaiyin. If you're
hired workers, excuse me, you're
thieves.
Then he says v'im habeheima shelachem,
if you're owners, so maybe you're
owners.
af al pikin le'aseos if I make that's
not time.
That's what Rashi means if they're
owners.
Who's to tell them when to close their
store? It's not time.
Shuldukman, they're the owners. I had a
maiseh in in um
in
ShopRite zichrono livracha. The old
ShopRite that shut down. I was waiting
for flowers. I was waiting to buy
flowers. And the li- the person before
me had some funeral arrangement and it
took forever. They were hacking and
tumbling. And we just waited and waited
just to pay for my flowers. So the lady
selling the flowers goes to me and the
next few people in line, takes a paid
sticker and says it's free. I'm sorry we
kept you waiting. Paid, paid, paid. I
got like expensive flowers, like $50
flowers. She put a paid on there. Paid,
paid, paid, paid. Like four along there
was a few people in line. She put a
sticker and said, "Don't worry, it's
free."
So, I I didn't want to embarrass her,
but I I pulled her aside and said,
"Excuse I just don't think you have the
right to I give out so much for free. I
don't like it, Neva. You're giving me
all this for free You're giving me free
in the flower lady, like did the store
give you a receipt?"
So, I like criticized her that I'm going
to pay that I'm not taking it free. I
don't know if you have the right. She
said, "Excuse me." She was Mrs.
Torcanado, Miss Torcanado. Her Her and
her brother
Her and her brother owned She was
honored by the Yeshiva. Her and her
brother owned ShopRite. The flower lady
wasn't there and she was taking over,
which was what the whole delay. She was
giving it free. She like gave She said,
"I own this store." And she told it to
me.
So, like Yaakovenu says to them, like it
like even if you're the owners
What was that? Even if you're the
owners, this is not the way to do it. If
she's the owner, she can give away the
whole store. She could put a paid on
everything in the store. What's Yaakov
saying? If they're the owners, what's he
saying?
Yaakov says, "If you're hired workers,
so then you're got nothing."
And even if you're the owners, af pekin,
he doesn't explain Rashi.
Now, the Or Chaim HaKadosh says Sa'ar
Ba'alei Chaim.
Says Sa'ar Ba'alei Chaim to the animals.
He's not saying like the Das Rashi. He
says Yaakovenu is giving them what's
Sa'ar Ba'alei Chaim.
Animals are lying around, they want a
pasture. Get them out of the woods,
Sa'ar Ba'alei Chaim.
I don't believe I don't think that's
what Rashi means.
It's a nice chakras and Rashi Rashi
didn't say it. They should have said
Sa'ar Ba'alei Chaim. Rashi says, "If
you're schira yom,
lo yishlamtem po'alas yom, you didn't
pay up. You got nothing.
And even if your owners are picking
If he meant
there's a new spin, say
I got
Rashi forgot to tell you about
the
same tire
Rashi's not saying that. What is Rashi
saying? He just says I felt picking
while llama. So I can't figure out the
Rashi. I couldn't figure out the Rashi.
I wanted say maybe an ideal too.
Something
that David said I'll I'll share some
ideas, but I want to say to the Rashi
brings such a measure. Where does he see
this like
I wonder if the word Hain and I'm not
clear why that's in the word Hain.
Hain
Could Hain be like like some word that
means like MS like the man of shock.
Could
I was could somehow the word Hain I
don't know why cuz I can't figure out
the word Hain. Could somehow Hain say
I don't know how that's Hain. Some man
no matter what.
Hain's like no matter what. That's in
the word Hain. So Rashi's not stop
bringing a measure. The word Hain is
like no matter what.
Hain no matter what. I don't know if
that's
So what's this what's So what's this
Hain?
I don't know. I don't know what the Hain
is. Everything the reads perfectly.
I can't figure out the Hain if somehow
it means the matter what.
Then it's
the Rashi that that's the Hain.
Whatever you want to say
I don't know
whatever you want to say
I don't know if that's I don't know the
word Hain.
Is that what Hain means maybe?
I don't know. I don't know.
And and knowledge meant?
I can't I don't I don't want to like now
say if you say I like I like was the
word [snorts] hain threw me off a lot. I
looked around. I found the rav tzur for
the hevra, but it you're not going to be
happy in shas hevra. But the the rav
tzur said of shas on the hain, but I
when I was reading the Torah, I couldn't
figure out the hain. Maybe Rashi in the
shas he says whatever you say, maybe
that's somehow linked in the hain. I I
can't the hain I did it doesn't
anything. Whatever you read a possuk and
everything could be said without a word
there. So like say what
Like I don't I don't got to listen. Like
the hain is my son of The rav tzur said
He said like this but I love that he was
bothered and shocked by the word hain. I
had I looked I looked a lot of places
and there's what I'm I'm still
researching the hain. The rav tzur said
on the word hain, he says that every
letter in the aleph base has a shot of
to get to 10. 10's like a is a number
shalom. Aleph has tes.
Base has ches. Two plus eight is 10.
Gimmel has ayin. Three plus seven. Every
number has a partner to get to 10.
He says hey gets to 10 from itself. It
doesn't
Hey plus hey equals 10. It doesn't need
something else to get to a mispa shalom.
Doesn't have another shot of to get to
10. He says that's in the single digits.
In in the double digits, in in yud till
kuf, also every letter to get to kuf, to
get to a mispa shalom of a hundred. So
so each one has a partner that gets it
to a mispa shalom kuf to pay etc. He
says that the two letters that don't
have partners are hey and nun.
And the rav tzur says that hey and nun
are stand alone numbers. They don't have
partners
and he said Hain when a person is a
stand alone fellow doesn't is not my
argument to others like
if I make this then Klaussner doesn't
have
it's not time to gather if we're
the rapture said if we're not
we're Hain Hainan that was stand alone
and when that my argument to Klaussner I
say if I make this not time to gather
the sheep yet then it's not the amount
of goalie yet okay schmuck I appreciated
a lot
when every citizen
they say it you can it will have its
root in
I haven't figured out what is typically
you'll find them shot that they're
rooted in shot I don't know what that
Hain is but I like that he struggled
with the Hain and said the rapture said
that when you
Hain then it's
say if I make
when it's not
it's not the numbers that I'm
to say
Hainan stands
for me that's the rapture said the Mesa
the Mesa I want to say in the rush
what's he saying if you're the owners so
what must he giving them if they're
owners it's not time to gather if
they're the owners they don't have to
answer to anybody she's Mrs. how does
she give free she can give free flowers
to whoever she wants so what's going on
here
one said said and nice
he
that they that they crowding the way
here
that by day you come to the well and you
get and leave to hang out with your
whole flock and children move over it's
and I like the
cuz the neighbor
and it sounds in Russia if you see where
you stand you going to have
even if you and children move over
the only problem is as he wanted to tell
you to stop blocking the way people want
to peep other people. Roughly men who's
coming in Iraq and show the community.
Like you parked here. Like I say I say
from here. It's not time get out of the
way. Move. It's the middle of the day.
The only problem is is the
who will go pasture is not the problem.
Don't be here. I don't care if you end
your day. Rashi even says
Rashi says kiss right some last
by so. Like you away. The problem is not
that you're not pasturing anymore. The
problem is that you're hanging out here.
You want to bring them home that's your
problem. Just skedaddle from here.
It
doesn't sound like him in Rashi and
in the maybe even if they're violent
they shouldn't be right here. But in the
Rashi sounds like the problem is that he
plans to go home.
The one that is a tiny that doesn't
doesn't doesn't often regular establish.
And he's saying this is not I'm not
saying I'm not saying it's the laziness.
He's criticizing is not how you do
business. Imagine you see a business
close every day at like 3:00.
You say that's not it's not the
business is stay open till 5:00. There's
a way there's a normal there's a normal
practice. But I don't know if that's his
space for master.
Is there is there any tiny you just tell
him it's not going to work. You have an
of a
you're not doing the of a
I'm not sure.
I like him as a you don't know us why
are you giving us master and how to do
this by so. But I'm very troubled in
Rashi. Somebody has a
every that's
out of
college is probably not Rashi means cuz
it sounds like he's not adding another
and the
I say Rashi should say
I am. The
the
that they're crowding the
the crowding the areas a good that's a
Indian of
but he says kiss for that they're going
to bring to the base. That's not the
problem.
Problem is that you hear bring them
home. I don't care. Just don't stay
here.
The shot of David that there's something
of laziness and axelos and and not the
way you're supposed to do business.
Maybe a little bit it sounds that way.
Even if you know a boss is apple
picking, what are you doing?
Sounds like some Indian. This is not the
Derek. Is it a laziness he's
criticizing? Is it not an orphan of a
starless? You have a You have a You're
doing a starless. This is not the orphan
of a starless. You're trying to do a
starless stuff. So
This is not the orphan. I I can't figure
it. If everybody has a shot, we're open
to shot them.
But he says to them
maybe he's giving an answer. Like David,
you're like willing to say like David
that that he's saying this is not the
orphan of a starless. There's an orphan
of a starless. Maybe. Maybe.
Even if you If you're square you can
open. And even if not apple picking,
this is not the orphan of a starless.
Maybe. Maybe.
I want to say to the children. I want to
I want to say this is something my rebbe
spoke all the time and I don't want to
just say I say stick with tire. I want
to study. The Jacob this is going to
here right here. He's going to go with
this is like the This is our abs for
rain to go with his initial experience
leaving Israel. This is the story and
this the first story is
not a double portion. The first story of
go with is success is honesty. Be
honest.
Be an a person. Go with his challenges
and the main challenge of go with his
his this clarity.
Go with his a massive of this clarity
and the akraias we want to keep a sense
of emes.
And the erlichkeit, to be honest, to be
honest, erlichkeit, is Yaakov Avinu's
initial job in galus is telling people
to be ehrlich. Like I say Yosef made the
erlichkeit. This is the guiding
principle of the Yid in all our journey
in galus, the Yid is honest, the Yid is
ehrlich. Reb Schwab would scream this,
would say this, would beg this of his of
his zeiber, his beautiful zeiber. Reb
Schwab was a rav leading a zeiber
These were galus Yidden, people that
come from tremendous galus, and his big
message was honesty. My rebbe this was
something he was busy with us, be
ehrlich, be honest. It's a big place for
the Yid who always wants a path of emes.
Path of path of truth. My rebbe this was
like the word ehrlich, everybody has
their word they use as compliment. He
called the Yid an erlicha. It's like,
"Woah."
That was like That was a big koved on a
person that he's ehrlich. That was like
the word. If he mamish held my kids hear
me answer shidduch milah, they've called
me out that you only when you say a
certain word you hold. They say when
they hear the word sincere, that's when
you hold. If you don't say that word, we
know you're not like into it. It's like,
"Oh, no, that they figured things out."
You got to be careful. They know like
your words. But ehrlich was a word by my
rebbe that a person's honest. It's
interesting that the path of Yaakov
Avinu in the path of galus was one of
Yaakov Avinu and Eisav and Mechna. Still
time that it's not time, erlichkeit,
honesty, was the was the order of Yaakov
going into galus. To me it makes a lot
of sense. A Yid who wants to live with
emunah, who wants to live with Hashem,
who wants to live with the clarity of
seeing Hashem in our life, erlichkeit,
to be honest in their journey, honest in
in their dealings. This is not a davar
cut in the Yaakov Avinu's musser.
If somebody has a pshat if that the
owner is what he means, lo yodea.
We learned the last week's parsha, Rashi
says on
lo yodea, I don't know any idea my bolo
amdeinu. Rashi taught us the last week
the after you can only say yes pshat to
when you can also say I don't know
pshat. The Sfas Emes yearly had two
roots in cuz yearly had cashes that he
didn't know pshat. So it it's very
helpful to have cashes you don't know
pshat. I don't know if they're the
owners what Yaakov Avinu saying to them.
And even if you're the owners af al
pikin, even so, still
it sounds a lot like David.
It still it's not the derech that
something even you're the owners and
he's not saying a different sogya of
tzar baalei chaim. You're the owners
listen lo yizu aderech. He's telling
them there's an oifen of a shtalus,
you're cheating yourself somehow like
you're a boss, that's not how to run a
business. Be value doing a shtalus to do
the Sounds funny. Maybe they're big
ma'aminim, they do less a shtalus. So
you tell a guy who's like ending his day
early, he's running to Kinyan HaTorah. I
saw a new shiur start. He poshet wants
to go to Kinyan HaTorah. You tell him
that's lo yizu aderech.
Chiddush nef like can't figure out pshat
what Yaakov Avinu means.
But this nekuda certainly in Seder Yom
where he's telling them you're gaslanim.
I wanted to share the pshat of hein that
it could be that's Rashi's saying this
memana shach that that's lekach in the
hein. Might be true that that's the hein
whatever you say.
Maybe I don't know if that's if we have
to research. I'm going to look the place
where Rav Aaron and Avi quoted other
places where it says hein and I want to
check that out.
Hein else when really study the word
hein, it does have me we have the Rav
Chitzer, very interesting hein.
That when this period oiy le yom godli
say asif amekna, there's still time left
in the day. It's not time to gather the
sheep. The Rapture is big cuz the whole
Indian of taking off the to get to the
Mayan needs all the shepherds there.
They speak about this this right here.
He says "Hey in his lap this." That's
why he says "Aseif Hamikneh." Then it's
not time. That's a beautiful Rapture who
says that here. So, the toss all our as
we should be so to begin this Israel.
The young
actors Israel that talk it should be the
Aseif Hamikneh according chance.
Maybe I can tell the friction in the
room that a few people had to go get a
