The Soul of Israel: Jacob’s Rock

[Music] Shalom everyone this is Katz you listening to the soul of Israel on the Land of Israel calm on the land of Israel and network Boker Tov good afternoon good evening wherever you are and whatever time you're listening and tuning in to us as we share our hearts here from the joy rolling hills of Judea as our dear father of blessed memory Arie fold used to refer to this beautiful area which we have the privilege of waking up to and going to sleep to and having our eyes glued to all day long can't lie to you all it's been a very stressful few days here Israel southern Israel is under constant attack as I'm sure you're all aware of and even as we're recording right now our red alert apps have keep on going on letting us know of more places where our enemies are trying to inflict their wrath and their anger but really NASA and their anger it's this simple hatred and God Almighty has shown us many many miracles in the last few days but we need all our prayers to just be up by a few notches so just gonna open up with making a little short prayer right now so please play with pray pray with me right now show Mary's relish marsha it's Easter l-value Avadh Israel Oh meme Sh'ma Israel guardian of Israel and guard the remainder of Omni sound and don't let anyone from armies shall be lost those that say Sh'ma Israel so we're gonna say together right now the Shema Sh'ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad hear o Israel the Lord is our God the Lord is one I want to jump right into our passion our parsha helps us deal with a lot of issues that seem to us to be so heavy and when we tune into Yaakov Aviles energy we realized that many of the trials and tribulations we go through in our life don't have to be as heavy as they seem a common theme throughout the party art that we have throughout the Pasha's that we have is the concept of a well a bear we see that by a by a get stuck we see by Avram we see by you suck and we see it by Yaakov we see it by ear if it comes up a lot so I want to introduce you all to our agricultural expert the the Judean agricultural expert who's joining us on today's show sorry it's 128 days till appointment I really need a perm energy today please say Shalom Aleichem to Rabbi Ari Abramowitz are there any bit I wrote in your area the truth is we just dug one you dug a well yes well I don't know if it's qualified isn't well if we didn't hit water so right now it's just a pit so you created a pit but let's call that digging a well yes yes I mean we dug a well there's just no water yet then we could go a little deeper but that's you know what you talk dug up his father rose and so we're trying to dig up dig up three wells of one viewer I'm sure that better I'm sure your first ball you will hit water Shem so you so you know what it's like this bit I wrote in Hebrew the word bear is very interesting it means well and it also means to explain live high air to explain B or it's a deeper explanation it makes a lot of sense if the tour is parallel to water it's a bear means to explain the Torah right to explain what's going on so when we look at the life of Yitzhak Aveeno yet stuck it says that he read ugh the wells of his father why did he have to read diggin who clogged them the police team interesting the Philistines in casitas it says take a deep look at the word in the Torah describing the work that the Philistines did it says sit mum please team which means they clogged the Beirut the Wellsprings the Barrett Avril Lavigne oh sorry how do we aro RBA wrote meaning our explanations of Torah get clogged up in today's day and age when the voices of evil come and say stem sit mum they made it into stem which means it it makes us look at the Torah of our last generation and the new generation comes with this spirit of heresy that says ah its stem it's nothing not nothing too deep don't get too excited about the the depth and explanations of Torah the previous generation had that's what it's like at the fight he had to read igg the wells the wells of Torah the wells of water that the police team clogged which means they made it into stem stem in Hebrew means earth it's nothing but it's connected to the word tomb which means clogged they clogged up that which made us feel special but yakujá vinos relationship with the bit air is very different when he comes in he meets her soul mates in our parsha his soul mate rocks hell you know it's what a movie said that would it would it would ascribe Amish a script from Hollywood the way the Torah describes the meeting between Jacob and Rachel Yaakov and Raquel it's a gorgeous meeting and the heroism is just this is mama mama mama she didn't like in our lives in the Torah yeah Colvin who comes he sees there are all these people that are having trouble lifting the rock that's over the air right there Evan hug delle Alpi abba era Yaakov Aveeno comes and remember we said that the bear the well of water is also the explanations of the Torah and the dark forces of the world try to cover up the explanations of the tour of the deeper dimensions and we said stomm it made me think about like last time like just blow it off the ultimate yeah dismissal dismiss laughing wey Yaakov in who comes now and he's and he's the next generation and he's like okay my father Yitzhak was able to dismiss those that dismissed the importance of the Torah so what how are they fighting against the Wellsprings of Torah now now there's a huge Evan on the bear they didn't clog it they denied access to the bear to the water which is even harder you see if I know something is there but I have no access to it it kills me if someone tells me yeah it's not so special it doesn't bother me so much but when I know something is there but I'm denied access that's when I lose my mind Yaakov Aveeno comes to ABBA air there's water there but what's the problem there's a huge huge rock that's covering it but what does he do in the name of love in the name of everything that he believes him he's able and we don't really understand this there's a lot of major ashame talking about the weight of that Evan but he comes and he knows if beneath this is the ability for me to connect Hashem in a deeper way that which might seem so hard for me is nothing for me and Yaakov anew gets rid of that rock he removes the rock off of the bear that's providing us a really an opportunity to connect Aperta opportunity to delve deeper deeper into the Torah and the bee I wrote continue to play a role in our lives but since this parsha is the parsha of really of soul mates it's Yaakov Aveeno meeting Rochelle having to love and wait for her for 14 years marrying her sister in the meantime we still hear that the role that the bit air plays the role that the rock plays is tremendous well sorry do we have the concept of a venom of Evan in the Persia it's the beginning of the Persia lies his head on the stone stones correct you see nothing in the Torah is stopped the concept of Iraq in our file in our in our tradition is very interesting evan is made out of two words of and Ben evan is a linking word it links two generations by the stone that was over the air Yaakov Avene who needed to remove the stone in order that we would have access to the continuation and flow of Torah that our parents gave us but the stone can also provide for us a McGann McGann is a shield thank you very much it says that the stones were fighting amongst themselves upon who will Yaakov will Jacob rest his head when he takes his schlaf his famous schlaf in the beginning of the partial asleep in which he sees the the imagery of thee as the dream of the ladder and the angels going up and down and all the stones were we're fighting over the privilege who will he who will he Lane and rest on eventually what happens as they became one big stone and Jacob finds shelter in the fact that he was able to protect his head in that area over there and I say just teach us a very very very deep teaching an incredible teaching I say just ask us the following if Jacob was worried that he should be protected why did he only care about his head the stone should surround his head what about the rest of his body so I say just teach us that when a person understands that if they're sinking as long as their head is still afloat they have a chance to get out jacob using the stones for protection taught us Jewish people that no matter how deep you sink into an assimilated world into a world filled with snakes and scorpions that might come and bite you in different areas of your body if your head if your mind is still connected to knowing that it's only the Reba national and that's running the show you can then have access to lift the largest rocks and stones in the world off of anything meaning when I was a little kid I'll never forget this I once saw a car flip over during carpool and a mother was in that car and her little children were stuck in the car the mother began to flip the car back over she bit me I don't know I don't remember if she succeeded or not but what I know is that who in their logical mind goes to such a place of thinking that they can flip over a car well if the most precious thing in the world is in that car nothing seems like too big of a-- of a trial or tribulation or a test what Jakob was basically doing in the beginning of our passion was he was giving us the cost to keep our heads afloat no matter what the rocks is what helped us protect us and then we use that same concept of a rock a rock is usually that thing that covers up it's all right you know mountains are rocks rocks are mountains it's the most solid thing it's that which seems like it's the biggest divider between us and who we really are when we really tuned to end in the spirit of Jacob not only can we lift rocks off of wells we could also wait for years and years and years time becomes like a rock time becomes so heavy time becomes so consuming but when I know that what I'm working for is worth it then all those years that seemed like rock years that seemed like it never ends when I reached that which I longed for doesn't feel like anything that's the way bar pressure continues we had you bane of K a meme a hidimba avital Tom when he waited and he waited and he waited and he finally reached Rachel for after 14 years and he finally got there it says he loved her and those days seemed like nothing yaakov Avenal is second name is Israel he gives us the ability to wait he gives us the ability to long he gives us the ability to have patience he gives us the strength to keep our head afloat he gives us the physical strength to remove massive boulders when they need to be removed Yakko Vivino is still playing a massive role in a maestro till today and his love for Rachel was one of the greatest things that really brought out the core to keep on going no matter what I feel like right now I miss around hopefully is waking up more and more realizing that there's a big rock that needs to be removed a huge rock and that's the rock that's covering over our hearts if we had more if we had more connection to our heart if we had more access to what's going on inside our kishkes I don't think we'd be able to continue to just working with our hand with our logic especially right now with what's going on down south I can't differentiate between the two it's right there it's happening every single second even as we're talking right now there was just another attack on a place called or Henare eras it's nonstop but the point is that I'm is round has to connect back to our name yes Ray Allen that was Jacob's name the Evan the link the Ave and the Ben were part of a bigger picture anyone that's been able to do anything monumental for our maestro has kept their head afloat they've kept their head up and we need to lift up our heads again and remember that the world quite often presents before us massive rocks and boulders that basically block our way from understanding what's important in life the reservoirs of Torah of depth of explanation of how to get deeper in this world are waiting for today's Jacob today's young Yaakov to get up and rise to the occasion and saying from the name of love my soul mate Rachael the Sheena is standing right here I must remove whatever is in my way don't second cell second-guess yourself friends we have the core to do the impossible we have the cork to do the impossible I feel as though quite often we're just sitting out there not like yeah khals god forbid like his twin brother but if we feel that we have Yaakov inside of us the enemies this these these new these rats that are sitting in Gaza are nothing they will become nothing when we become Yaakov and it's time we woke up it's time we lifted off that Boulder that's sitting so heavily upon southern Israel and it's really sitting upon all of us the PES wrath the shame and the suit of this parsha in the suit of Yaakov Aveeno going for it finding his love connecting to the wells continuing his father's tradition haven't been we - we'll be able to show a partial vayetzi before our Father Yaakov and sham I'm and I'll say to us you do give me nothing you do give me pride I bless us all with the Shabbos of peace at the time you're all listening to this episode I pray that the evil evil evil leadership of Gaza and the evil people that are there shall all be removed and obliterated resurrection and that all of us should have the most peaceful peaceful Chavez here in Eretz Israel whoa
