Toldos: When To Draw Close and When to Push Away

This Torah class is brought [music] to you by Torah anytime.com. Welcome everyone. Thank you for coming. Welcome all the Torah Anytime viewers. Um and we begin at the beginning of the para Rifkenu waited many years to have a child to have children. She was very young when she got married. She was only 3 years old and they're waiting 20 years. They waited 10 years until she was 13. She's capable of having children. And then they waited 10 years and they saw she was an Akara and they prayed and Hashem answered their Rifka was expecting Hashem and there's something going on inside her. There's a big struggle. You know, she didn't understand what was happening. Every time she passed by the base medish, right, Yakov was kicking to come out. Every time they passed by the Bodara, the house of idols, Asa was coming out. They were struggling. So what were they struggling about? What were they fighting about? She says they were fighting over this world, the next world, you know, big struggles, very important struggles. The Torah says, "No, it wasn't such a uh holy struggle. Very simple. Yakov was smooth. As was a hairy guy. Jacob was itchy. He was itchy. That was the fight. He was itchy. Okay. >> Jacob was Asov had the hair. You know, when you get a haircut, when the hair's on your head, it's not itchy. When it's somebody else's, you know, once it's off. Okay. Anyway, the Torah tells us something very interesting. Torah tells us loved as loved. Very strange. Why did you love Asov? But he fooled him. He pulled the wall over his eyes. You know, as came in, you know, he made himself like a big sadic. He said, uh, the matter says he used to ask his father Shilas, how do you take micer off of salt? all these you know I mean come on he tricked his father had didn't know was a Russia he was one of the greatest people who ever lived you think tricked him says the medish look at number one didn't know about's actions that they were disgusting the Torah tells us You're supposed to hate those who hate Hashem. Why did says the he didn't love him because he was a sadic? He loved him because he was a Russia. He wanted to be mar of him. Could you if you could you be m of someone? Oh, get out of here. You know you're a Russia. Leave. Out. There's the door. Out. Can't be m of someone that way. You have to show love to them says it was a front. He made it as if he loved him to bring him close said this is the only way to go. It's logical. If he is so terrible when I love him, imagine how bad he'll be if I hate him. You know, he'll he'll run away. He'll be he'll kill more Jews. So this way what >> psychology? >> Yeah. I have to show him love. Maybe this will bring him closer to the Torah. There's no other way. >> You have to love everyone. Every son was [clears throat] not every family you got everyone perfect. All that is perfect. Sometime someone go and the other one. >> Yeah. But if the Torah makes it the point to say that loved as it's not just saying he loved him because it's his son. Sounds like he showed special love to him. Why? Only to bear him. Really? Perhaps he hated him. And we'll see. He hated him. But he showed him love. He showed him love to bear him. Says the Garra. Our sages teach us. You should always take the right hand to draw close and the left hand to push away. Right. when you're dealing with people who are who are not doing what's proper. So then you have to take a dual approach. You you bring close with the right hand, you push away with the left hand. By the way, if you take someone, you schlle them to you with your right hand and you push them away with your left hand. What what happens to the person closer to you? >> Turn around. That's how the person turns around, right? That's how they turn. But >> but they do a 360. You take the guy with the right hand, you bring him close to his left hand, you spin him around. But that's the approach that used that it wasn't that he loved as that as tricked him that duped him. What was it was trying to be of him the wrote a commentary on was one of the greatest alltime the greatest of all time and he says in the name of is the of the why did give As the bra why did want to give Asab the bra so we thought oh because you know Asab tricked his father as made his father think he's the righteous one And was fooled. No knew who was felt I'll give him the he'll see how much I love him and he'll do chuva him. How you people by throwing rocks at them? That's not going to work. The only way to bear of them is to show them extra. So therefore says of didn't give as the braha because of deserved the braha. He gave him the braha because he needed the braha. And we're going to explain what that means exactly that how by giving the braha to was being how would that bring as closer? >> This is the brah that really gave >> yeah how would that have brought as closer? >> Mysterious brah. I mean that's like everything that has >> how would that have brought as closer in what way? Okay, so we're going to start we're going to bring out two points that are not really necessarily connected to our discussion but we'll come back to them. Number one tells us something very interesting. When as was born what does it say? What does admon mean? >> He's red. So theus brings down as was born takes a look at him. He's a red complexion. He's, you know, he's uh he's red, he's bloody. So says, "We can't do brisma." Because when somebody is red in his skin, when a baby is red in the skin, sometimes what that means is the blood has not yet been absorbed in the bloodstream, the blood is still in the tissue and still in the muscle. And if you cut the muscle, it will cause terrible bleeding. So says, "We can't do Milo now. The blood hasn't been absorbed in the bloodstream yet." So Yitsuk's waiting and waiting. He's one years old. He's 2 years old. He looks exactly the same. Yetsuk realizes this is just the way he looks. This is not uh it's not that the blood hasn't been absorbed yet. So says, "Should I give him a ma now?" Yes says uh in the history of Israel, no one ever had a brisma at 2 years old. Either at 8 days old or had at 13. So I'll wait till he's 13. So he turns 13 years old. They're sending out the barit invitations and comes over to Asa. By the way, after you say your, you know, after you give your at the mitzvah, I just want you to know we're going to be doing a little procedure. You know, we're going to be doing as said, don't come near me with that knife. I don't want it. So, what's what's going to do? He can't force him. As refused and um As never had a brism. Okay, we'll come back to that. This brings us to a very interesting topic and that is in uh anyone who deals with them in a yeshiva or in aul or anywhere you're always confronted with a very big challenge and that is sometimes they're people they're not on board you know they're not with the program they're disturbing they're sometimes they don't act appropriately what do you do with them do you draw them close or do you push them away? So we have to see apparently what did hold said we got to draw him close. What did Rifka hold? Rifka said this kid there's no Kira for this kid. There's no Kira for this kid. Who was correct? Apparently in this case Rifka was correct because Hashem went along with Rifka's plan. So what we want to try to understand is when should a person say I bring you close with my right hand, I push you away with my left hand. In other words, I want to draw you close to Hashem. Or is there ever a time that you push some away, someone away? So let's see. There was a woman by the name of Timna. Timna was a daughter of kings and she wanted to convert. The Gumar tells us in San. So she comes to Abraham, convert me. Abraham says no. She comes to convert me. Says no. She comes to Jacob, convert me. Jacob says no. She says to herself, I would rather be a shifa, a maidservant, a slave to this great people, to someone related to them than to be a queen. She was a daughter of a king. And therefore she went ahead and she became the shiva. She became the pleesh, the concubine of Alifas. Alifas was Asab's son. Who was born from that union of Alifaz and Timna? >> Amalik says the garra. Why did Amalik come from there? Because Abraham and Jacob should have been this woman. She comes to convert. She comes closer to Hashem. They shouldn't have pushed her away. They shouldn't have said, "You're now a convert." They should have drawn her close. Why did you do what was the reason not to convert? >> H why didn't they convert her? Now apparently they must have had a very good reason not to convert her. What was it? We don't know. Obviously she had bad character because she produced a kid like Amalik who is the the source of all evil of the Jewish people. More right? How many of our people have been murdered by the nation of Amalik? whoever they are, they're Germans, what so obviously this woman Timna was not a big she had bad character. She had flaws. And this wasn't only Abraham's opinion of her. Agreed. Jacob agreed. They all agreed she was rotten. Nevertheless, the Gamarra says, "Why did Amal come out?" Because they rejected her. The worst thing you could do to a human being is reject them. When you reject someone, you put in them venom. You put in them poison. It's like arson. The worst poison in the world. And from that poison will come out the worst products. Who came out? Amalik. >> This is the way when someone comes to the first time you say no. The second time you say no. I think only three times. After a few times when you're coming back and it's really serious, you accept it. So apparently within we say nah you know what do you need it for? It's very uh but nevertheless did not accept her >> they didn't accept her as a convert. In other words made many gimm right says tens of thousands this woman they rejected >> they didn't accept her they said you know goodbye >> didn't see the what is going to do with the Oh, he could kill him. He didn't like him. >> They were afraid of her father. >> Who? With as already. Rifu Rifu. But Yit didn't know. >> No. The Ramban says that she was afraid to tell that she went behind his back to a different Na'vi. Why don't you come to me? Right. So, she never told him never knew about Asa. >> Yeah. He I don't know if he knew but you know the evil the rat the rat. So anyway says that what do we see from here? We see from here the devastating effects of rejecting someone. Someone comes wants to come closer to Hashem you reject them. What does that produce? We have another incident. The gar tells us in s the same thing. You always have to draw close with your right hand push away with your left hand. Why? There was a man by the name of who's by the way this has been removed from our gar the sensors took this out but we're going to learn from close to gumar there is a man by the name of okay and the garra says from the following story we learn out you draw close with your right hand you push away with your left hand but you don't push away with two hands why because benra who is the reb of yashka was went together with Yoshka to someone's house and commented, "Oh, look what wonderful host they have." So Yeshua said, "Yeah, but" and Yeshu made a comment on the woman's eyes regarding her beauty. So the Rebi said, "I wasn't commenting on her looks to solicit a comment from you about her eyes. What? Why are you staring at this woman? Why are you telling me about the way this woman looks?" said, "Get out of here." took 400 and he put him invasing how nice the people were. Well, you thought look how look how disgusting and low this person was. He thought his rebi was commenting on how attractive the woman was. So Yeshu said, "Yeah, but look at her eyes." show. I'm not talking about how the woman looks. I'm talking about how nice they are. How dare you even accuse me of commenting on her on her looks and what are you staring at this woman for? He put him in says the garra because he rejected him that's why he became who he became. In other words, says the garra had dealt with him in a more accepting way. If you would have tried to draw him close >> what >> go back and try to forgiveness. >> Yeah. Well, >> it was some mistake like confused between them in the same day he want to forgive him. >> Well, he said and then he said, well, I have a tradition from you that anyone who makes other people sin can't do cha. But it was it was based on the fact that they went to somebody's house and Yeshu thought his Rebi was commenting on the women. And uh the Rebi said, "Why are you looking at the ladies? I'm not talking about them." That's what the garra says. Says the garra had the rebi try to draw him close. What do you mean try to draw him close? This guy is a mushkas. He's disgusting. His mind is so contaminated that not only can is all he's interested in looking at the women, he thinks that's what his reb is doing. And yet the garra says had been more accepting and try to draw him close more this Russia would never have occurred right and we could say more people have been murdered in the name of this individual than for any other cause in the history of humanity right it's clear it's obvious and all of this would have been avoided had tried to have been mar this individual says what do we see from here don't reject anyone one, right? Don't reject anyone. It's like um Rudman used to say, before you throw a kid out of yeshiva, you have to realize it's not just a monetary issue. It's an issue of life and death. So what do we >> is considered also? >> What is considered? >> No. No, but he's not good. >> He's not. Okay. So what we see from here is that when you reject someone, you you inject poison into them. That poison sprouts into the worst type of growth. On the other hand, says there are times that you have to reject. Hashem tells Abraham Abraham had to throw out. What did Abraham do? He threw out. And yet very interestingly when Abraham threw out what did he give him to eat? It says he gave him bread. He gave him a jug of water. Says ask Rashi give him some pocket change. Maybe you know he want to buy a slice of pizza on the way. Maybe he want to play some scratch off. You know he needs some cash. Says Rashi. You know why Abraham didn't give him money? Because Abraham hated him. He hated Yesh. Why did he hate Ishmael? Because went off he went off the D. So Abraham hated him. As what do you mean he hated him? Don't you know what it says right after that by the Hashem tells Abraham take your son. Abraham said which one? I have two sons. Your only one. Abraham said they're both only the one you love. Abraham said I love both of them. So on the one hand Abraham gives Ishel nothing when he throws him out. Why? says he hated him and on the other hand when Hashem tells Abraham your son it's the one you love Abraham said I love and equally so did Abraham love Ishmael or did Abraham hate Ishmael says he loved Ishmael and he hated Ishmael how could you do both most people you can't love and hate them at the same time says Midos are not feelings. Midos are measurements. You love the person, you hate their actions. It's not a contradiction. And especially when you're rejecting someone, that is the time you have to show them the most love and you have to love them. Why? Because if you reject them out of personal hatred, then you're not doing justice to them. That's not justice. That's just animosity. When you're rejecting them, you have to show the love so that they realize this is justice. And it says where do we learn this out from? From Hashem himself. Why? Because when the mikdash was was being destroyed and the came into the mikdash, they came into the saw the kuim embracing each other. So the question is Marsha asked a question. What do you mean? The Gmorrah tells us that the crew of him only embraced each other when God when the Jewish people did God's will. But when the Jewish people did not do the will of God, the crew of him turned away from each other. So how is it then at the time when the Bish was being destroyed, obviously we were not doing the will of God. So why were the crew of him embracing each other? They shouldn't have been embracing each other. The answer is God is punishing us. And God is showing us that while I'm punishing you, I show my love to you so that you realize this is not just animosity and hatred. This is justice. But at the same time, I love you. So what we're seeing is there are times that you can't reject someone no matter how bad they are. Even Yashka, you should have been him. Timna, we should have been he was commanded to reject as we have a between and Rifka. Yetsk says this is an opportunity for Kirk. Rivka says out of the house. Who did Hashem agree with? Rivka. By the way, the time used to say that you know who one of the uh powerful members of the communist party was a Jew named Trosky and Trosky as a kid was thrown out of the and right he started the the Yabuskim and the uh one of the socialist parties and the used to say if only Trosky's third grade rebi second grade reb would have been marim imagine all the trouble that would have and avoided. So it's a very difficult thing. How do you know when to bring someone close? How do you know when to reject someone? And we have a very interesting statement from the one of the and he says like this. He says number seven. If someone has students and there is a student who is challenging the challenging other. It is better to chase this one away for the benefit of everyone else. Chase out the scoffer and end the fight. He continues, "If you turn over next Someone has children and one of them is a troublemaker. Push away the wicked with both hands. But you'll ask me, "But doesn't say you draw close with the right hand, you push away with the left hand." Don't say you should push away with the left hand and bring close with the right hand says the very nice until it affects anybody else. But if it affects other people but if others are being affected you'll be worse off if you don't push them away. Where do we learn this from? try to be malam and look how many people were murdered. So the says it's not an absolute rule always to bring clothes with the right hand and push away with the left hand. Sometimes you take the right hand, you take the left hand and you shove out the door. So how do we know what to do? >> Human beings we we prone to make mistakes. >> How do we know what to do? Very difficult question. A very difficult question. Perhaps we get a clue in one word the uses and that is he says what does means he's challenging what does that mean that means like this you have a guy like Yashka he's a terrible guy all that's on his mind is tya nshim histoloas He has a big Yates. His Yates has grabbed a hold of him. He's not He's a riding guy. Bring him close. Bring him close. He has a big Yates. So that other guy is a smallahara. He needs extra kov. Timna. Timna came. She wanted to be Maggy. She wanted to come close to Hashem. She came. But she's bad. Yeah, but she's coming. She's coming close. She's sincerely coming close, but she's a bad person. Doesn't matter. But what the is talking about is what he's what this person is doing is against the establishment. It's against the Rebi. It's against the other students. So it's not just that he's overcome by the Sahara. He's challenging, right? You know, right? Is that a >> is >> his motivation is contentious. In other words, if the motivation is desire and tava and and he he wants his own that's not good, but you have to try to bring that person close. But if the motivation is challenging, that's different. That's one basic difference between these cases. Yoshka, he's the worst guy in the world, but he wasn't challenging the Rebi. He wasn't saying that the Rebi is not giving over a correct Torah. He's not, he's just a big Balta. he's a Russia. You have no right to chase that person out. But if the person is lanter, he's ching. That's different. That's different. Okay. But >> was this as you have a big mus? What was as what was as perhaps Rifka realized that Asov was undermining Yakov's ability to grow or challenging his ability to grow. What does that mean? He despised Kadusha. He outwardly wasn't just he was interested in uh like the gar says he did five a but he was being maz things that were holy. It wasn't just that he was into a he was outwardly instigating against kadusha byz that's different all right obviously is a very complicated topic very sensitive topic but we just see uh different about this and of course you need you need we're going to yeah >> all these cases did emotions have any play in it >> no had no emotion and >> oh you mean in the mistake that perhaps That's we don't know we we don't have a right to criticize you know David Hamela but the Gumar does say that he was acted improperly in bringing Abalam close. Can you imagine even David was wrong in bringing his own son close. So very uh it's very hard to know what to do. Okay let us move on to a different part of the para and we're going to tie it back to what we started with. Okay. So, Jacob puts on the clothing of Asov and he masquerades as he comes in. He says, you know, so feels him, right? Yeah. So he says gives him the says the look at number eight. He approaches him. He gives him a kiss. He smells his clothing. He blesses him. He says, "You smell good. I like, you know, I like the soap you use." No, you smell good. Your clothing smell like a field that Hashem blessed. She says what? He smelled good. He was wearing the clothing of a goat. Nothing smells worse than goat skin. It stinks. Says there's nothing worse than the skin of goats. The scent of Ganeden went went in with him. Maybe they should mark it. That scent, you know, scent of Ghana. Fine. The Gar gives a completely different explanation for what smelled says number 10. You know what smelled? He smelled the traitors of the Jewish people. I he looked into the future. He saw all these rashan that came out of the Jewish people and they weren't even so bad. you know, a Jewish Russia is much better than the worst than uh than the worst uh than the best guy. In other words, saw many rash of the Jewish people and how they would do chuva. And the question we have to ask is that means Rashi and the Gar saying two very different things. Rashi says what did smell? Ghana. The garra says what did smell? The wicked Jews who would do chuva. Like how did those two things fit in with each other? You know, you couldn't have possibly thought of two explanations that are more diametrically opposed, that are different. So, how do we understand these two smells? Another question. What happens? As comes in, he says, "Daddy, I'm home. I'm ready for the treles." He trembles. Then, who just came in? And they realized it was Jacob. Jacob stole the brahas. As crying, you know, don't you didn't you leave something for me? Can't you give me something? You'll eat some of my food and you'll give me some braha. Said, "No, I have nothing for you. Nothing." As said, just eat some of my food. Said, I ate everything. Can't eat. Can't eat anymore. Can't eat anymore. Why not? He had such a he had such a big meal he couldn't eat anything. Isa brought him some meat. So have a rib, have, you know, a piece of stuff, a little piece of a little hot dog, something. Have something you can't He ate everything. There's always room for, you know, there's always room for dessert. Then another very interesting thing. What does tell as he says the word s take your sword. Rashi says, "What does it mean?" S Rashi says it means to sharpen. Like the Mishna says in we don't sharpen the knife on you know how to sharpen a knife. You know how to right but you're allowed to just rub one against the other. You can't really sh you can rub one against the other. So the of the you don't sharpen the knife but what do you do? You could rub one against the other. So then why did say rub one against? Why didn't he say sharpen it normally? Why did tell him the way that we only do on because you know how to do it the regular way. Tell him to sharpen it straight out says the is a medish. When did this story take place? When did y give as yak of the it was the night of pes night of pes. The letter says the night of pes came and calls as he says as I want you to note this night everyone sings hal the mal sing hal the gates of heaven are open for braha. By the way we learn from here that the night of the sedar is a tremendous night that is mugal. It is set aside for Hashem to bestow on us tremendous. So therefore as I want you to do the following go make me some food and while the gates of blessing are open you bring me the food I will tap into that and I will give you the so what do we learn from here that this wasn't any ordinary day right it wasn't even thanksgiving it was the night of pes and the night of pes is designated for tremendous braha by the way the miniel says the same thing if you look at number 16 says that But when Yitzkl became old and his eyes were dimmed. By the way, Rashi says, "Why were Yitsk's eyes dimmed?" Rashi says three explanations. Rashi says, "When by the Malik are crying, remember we learned and Malik were crying and the tears went into Yetsk's eyes." Rashi says the smoke of the sacrifices of the wives of Asov irritated's eyes. Rashi says, "Hashem purposely made hard of seeing because he wanted Jacob to be able to steal the says the target." Another explanation why couldn't see well because at the when God opened up the heaven looked up at the and since it's nobody could see God it damaged his eyesight that's says I never saw this before to me this was a brand new explanation anyway says it was never see his I don't know if he was completely blind. He was it was dimmed. It was dim. Okay. And he said to his son, "My son, this is the night of Pes. The gates of are open. Let's let's tap into that." Rashi tells us what does bring me two goats. Why? Rashi says, "What could eat two goats? Who could eat two goats? You can't eat one goat. Hey, who could eat? Really? You can't eat more than who could eat more than two pieces of steak? What? He ate like 10 lamb chaps and two goats. Who could eat two goats? Says Rashi. It was Pes. You bring two carbonos and pes. One is the carbon pes. One is the carbon. First you bring the because you can't eat the pes unless you're satisfied. So you eat the pes, you eat from the you don't have to eat the whole thing. You eat from the pes then on I'm sorry. First you eat the kaga then you eat the current there's an incredible medish one more medish in parish b parish b the medish tells us that hashem came to mitim and he wanted to take ben out of mit he said my children it's time to leave the only thing was we had no mitzvah so hashem said like this I'll get you to do I'll get I'm going to get you to do a mitzvah I'm going to get you to do bris and the Jewish people in mim they didn't do brism except for shet ley any here. No only did like the says they kept the bris. Okay. So, Hashem says, "I want to get the Jewish people to do." So, Hashem says, "Oh, bring the car the night of." So, got very excited. They were going to bring the cares. They smelled the meat, right? Nothing smells better to a man than than roasted meat. Roasting meat smells good, right? Jewish people said, "We want to eat it." Hashem said, "Not so fast." Anyone who's uncircumcised can't eat it. So said, "We're not that hungry." Right? We're not that hungry. So, Hashem said, "What am I going to do? I really want to get them to uh to do the brisma." Hashem opened up. He opened up the window. He took all the four winds and he the four winds blew the scent of Ghana then into the carbon p the smelled it again. Ah now this is neat and they said we're going through with the ate the carbon pashem says now you're to get a blessing. Hashem picked up every Jew. He kissed them and he blessed them. Soak is thinking like this. Yets is thinking I'm gonna have the carbon pes be brought and if it's brought properly with the right intentions and the right kavanos and it's brought the same way the Jews will be will bring it when they leave it will be accompanied by the scent of ganed. And also smelled something else. He smelled all those Jews who didn't want to do brisma, all those traitors, all the bogdom who were eventually brought closer through the scent of Ganed. So these two explanations says the ber Yoseph says in number 20 that these two explanations for what Yitzuk was smelling are not contradictory. He smelled the scent of ganed and he also smelled the scent of the bogdim the traitors. In other words, this carbon pes was bringing out was a reliving or a pre-enactment of the way the carbon pes will be when ben were bringing it when they left m what what is that smelled all those traitors all those Jewish people who didn't want to do the bismina and he also smelled the scent of ganed. So these two explanations are not contradictory but they were both present when Ben is left. So I'd like to suggest that what did tell us said that by giving the bra to Asaf he was going to bear of how the same way Hashem was of when we left how he said I want them to do. So what am I going to do? I'm going to tell them to bring the carbon pes that will bring out the scent of Ghana and then they'll in order to eat the carbon pes they'll have to do brism. So perhaps like we said before as never had a brism. So what does say how am I going to get him to do the brism? I command him on pes to bring the carbon pes if he does it right the scent of ganed will come out and is going to want to eat it. But a uncircumcised person will not be able to eat it. And in that way was hoping to get as to says what does tell as tells I'm sorry your brother has come with deceit to steal the look at what does tag say the wordma means with wisdom that's notma doesn't mean deceit doesn't mean wisdom Deceit is trickery. Wisdom. Why is the taglo translating the word deceit as the answer is like this? Jacob is such a smart guy. Jacob says, "I don't just want to get the bra. I want to get all the braha. I don't want to have one iota of braha. How am I going to be able to do that? I have to let I have to have my brother I have to have my father eat in a way that he will not be able to eat one additional morsel. So what am I going to do? I feed him the I feed him the and you're not allowed to eat anything after the so this was not this wasma it was deceit but it was it was wisdom it was wisdom there that's why says you know what I can't do you know what what does say I ate everything I ate everything what do you mean so he filled himself up to capacity No, he filled himself to capacity. He ate everything he's permitted to eat. I can't eat anymore. There's nothing left to give you. Says the gamatria of the word bema is the same as the gamach of the wordma. Your brother came with deceit. What was the deceit? He gave me the af. I can't eat anything else. That's why Rashi says what does mean? It doesn't mean to sharpen. It means just one against the other. Why? You can't sharpen. You can only do one on top of each other. So this was grand scheme didn't love because he loved him. He loved him to bring him close. He gave him the bra to bring him close. Rifka disagreed. Hashem agreed with Rifka.
