Israel WAR - God's Land Comes With A Contract
135 views
Israel is at war. Largest massacre directed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. As the Jewish new year begins we read the Torah portion of Genesis, Parashat Bereishit, The famous commentary Rashi (from over 1000 years ago) asks a famous question, Why does the Torah start with "Creation" it's not a history book. Let it start with the Commandments. And Rashi explains that when the Jewish people are in their land, the nations of the world will say "You are thieves" and you will answer them saying, No, we're not theives, God created the world ...and He gave us the land. Rabbi Genish talks about Current events and the connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel

we are
in after the massive Massacre that we've
seen on and I wanted to make a little
bit of a connection between the paraa
and what we saw unfortunately last week
that we are all suffering with day by
day but I think there's something very
important to learn from the first Rashi
as we know the ever popular first Rashi
in all of the Torah the first Rashi in
rash over there brings the famous famous
question
of asked that of course we know the lon
of do with supposed to be teaching us
the first that we learn is that's about
14 later and we start with a lot of
stories we start all of and a little bit
of of together with the ideas of
learning ideas concepts of creation of
the world Etc ETA is well familiar with
and he asks what's the reason for that
why don't we start with the idea of of
of learning Torah of learning what Torah
is supposed to be about about learning
learning the so it says
because he came to teach us an important
lesson 14 par of the Torah came to teach
us one important lesson that is coming
to teach us that when the come and
inherit the land and they come to tell
us and they come to scream at us and say
you guys are a bunch of Bandits you took
the land to
yourselves and you go ahead and want and
they go ahead and they're willing to
kill and murder you for the sake of
trying to be conquer this beautiful land
and they're doing it all because of that
we are able to answer them guess what
the land belongs none other than
to and he gave it to that who is beting
in his
eyes and decided to take it from you and
give it to us that's what we will answer
to the that will be the response that's
soever popular rash that we're Alo
familiar with wres and this is Thea we
want this is the maina we want to speak
out today is that he says m
those that keep his those that keep his
decided to give it to them and therefore
he threw out his enemies who don't do
these things who refuse
to and therefore he put instead
his and if you keep to it and you keep
to the rules then it will not throw you
out of the land an incredible you s from
the raan from Rashi the idea that this
land was given to us because it belongs
to and he's the one that g that gave it
to us which is a little bit of a
question usually when you go and you
tell them well the Torah says it belongs
to us that doesn't usually work so
what's the message behind this Rashi
what's it coming to teach us what's the
message of coming to teach us you're
going to go with this Rashi to them and
try to disprove them for everything they
stand for they don't believe in Rashi
they don't have anything to do with it
but the answer is in answering a
contradiction which is
important contradiction which is
resolved by many of the many of the when
we see when we discuss is and we see who
lives in if it belongs it
say you will receive this land it
belongs to you this land is my land
that's it it sounds like it belongs to
us when you come to this land I'm going
to give it to you it belongs to you all
these lands belong to you when you read
many it sounds like this land actually
belongs to us we receive
belongs to the Jews similar to what we
just read from the rash but but on the
other hand we find an interesting P
because the
says the L is mine because you
are you are nomads you are living here
on a temporary type of basin you're not
necessarily that you own the land but
you're gar says rash Listen
to Don't Do Anything to
it says rash it does not belong to you
what happened I just read that says it
does belong to you says this that same
even more than that listen to a
beautiful the land of belongs
to you are G your only nads inside of
this land you are G in this land listen
to
the incredible there's we all know
the that they said when they flew up in
the skies in in in in the space shuttle
they went up and they said the the skies
belong to and the Arts belongs
to says the there's one exception to
this rule when we say the Arts belongs
to it's the whole entire Globe the whole
entire Atlas all belongs to the person
except for one place little bit
littleit
that was not given to us as writes
in we know in many places in the Torah
it's called we know that is is of course
that was what it was called before but
he says even after we he points out a
number of places where is is referred to
as he asks why why should it be you
should see the the gives a response to
this ran he says an incredible thing
because even we conquered the land it's
not ours it's still and it's but the
idea is that was saying don't think it's
permanently yours it's mine it's yours
but it's it's really mine similar to
an we are similar to anid which is an
which is called an which is whatever we
own belongs
to from humbling from being from bending
from bending ourselves in front of a
meaning the ownership of this land is
not necessarily what we thought that we
Mish own the piece of property that I'm
sitting on right now you bought a house
and it's yours it doesn't work like that
there's quite a difference in the answer
and the response to this whole idea is
that there's two ways of living in a
apartment in a house in a building
there's two different ways of doing it
as we all know there's one way where I
own the land it's mine I made a Kion on
it I purchased it it's mine and I own it
and therefore I feel that this is my
property there's another way of owning a
private piece of and that's really with
when you pay the rent you're a good man
you're keeping to the you're keeping to
the and you're paying with the rent so
by doing that you own that piece of
property for the time for the time that
you own it there's two different ways
when I am living in Lakewood when I'm
living in M when I'm living in Los
Angeles when I'm living in Manchester
when I'm living in London or when I'm
living in Paris or anywhere else in the
world I own the piece of property I pay
the Bucks I own the property it's mine
as opposed to when I buy or purchase a
place here in AR Israel you are renting
you're here on T you're here on you're
here only with a lease you don't own the
piece of property you are renting truth
is it's funny in this country they have
some type of thing like that they you
only only it for a thousand years it's
all right I'm not so worried about that
over a year it works with a with a type
of rental property as we know and that
means you only have a Kyon in the parot
of the land you don't have a Kon in the
actual car of the land you have a Kon in
the p in the fruits of the land as we
say in
promises us I'm going to bring you there
to eat from the fruits to enjoy to have
to enjoy the land to be part of it as we
know
says I will bring you there to eat from
the and the Beautiful we have a of using
the line of being here but we never
actually physically own it on the oval
everything goes back we never really
have something of permanent shim we
don't own it so what difference does it
make what what's psychological test what
difference it make if I own a land or if
I don't own the land I know that I
brought the property here there's no one
coming and kicking me out this is my
piece of property what's the difference
if I own it or if I'm renting it the
answer is a very important subtle
difference and that is when I own a
piece of property I could do whatever I
want in my own property I can break
walls I can move things I cannot pay I
can do whatever I want it's my property
it belongs to me but when you rent a
property that is what we call you're
under Jose you're under contract There
are rules of Regulation you're not
allowed to break a wall you can't even
put a nail in the wall without making
sure you get permission from the balab
you have limitations are rules so
whatever the rules of the contract says
and of course first and foremost you
have to pay rent you have to pay your
dues you have a monthly rent that you
have to keep up to if you don't then you
should know if you don't keep up to your
rent then of course we know that the
balabit has permission and he will
eventually within a month or two say
Excuse me sir but you are out you have
not kept up to the you're not keeping
and that's what it is G we are G here
that's what we are we're under rent and
if we don't keep to the rules and we
don't pay our rent so then the tells
us the land will throw us out we will
not be able to survive here we have to
be able to keep there's a certain rule
book to keep by and if it doesn't
survive then it's not so simple then it
is somewhat of a problem what does it
say in the contract what's written
what's the T what's the payment plan
that we're required to we just read
about on Yumer just a few days before we
read about it on Yumer when we were
reading the par of over there as we all
said as we all know it
says don't be mat it's the people that
lived here they have been mat the land
they deserve to be thrown out I don't
want them here you are the ones that are
here to those who are if you don't and
you don't treat it properly over here
it's referring to Alissa relationships
but if you don't do what is necessary
then you are in trouble the ran over
there in the end of par says asks the
question he says during elicit relations
that's a what we call that has to do
with a person that's the actions of a
person that's a Mitzvah on an individual
body that has nothing to do
with that has nothing to do with Mitzvah
that have to do with the land it would
have made sense that because like we
like we know the 70 years we were away
from the land we didn't keep shita which
has to do with the land so therefore we
thrown out of the land so that makes
sense cuz it's connected to the land but
what does this have to do with the land
says the raan an important you every
land every nation has his s has the Mal
that's on top of it he has his mazal it
has his constellation it has its
horoscope but it needs 70 Nations each
one with their own Ma only one place has
a direct connection
to there's no
ma and there's no s there's nothing on
top of us only the
that's the that we get specifically for
he didn't give it to anybody else we is
the from here who created the world the
which is in the was the place the
beginning of the creation of the
land and he gave it to a special nation
which are for him he gave it da to them
and they are the ones are the ones who
are supposed to get it and he did not
give it to anybody else because they are
the ones who keep us
so even though it's a MIT the Goof but
that's why we're here if you ever the
cow and you open up its stomach who has
four different stomachs there there's a
CA there's a Caris there's a Hames
there's different different stomachs
inside of a cow and it's incredible what
can be contained inside of this this the
the stomach of of this par this animal
it can have Sticks and Stones it can
have all different types of twigs and
even even needle sometimes and even one
Once Upon a Time they found an umbrella
believe it or not inside one of the
stomachs of one of these uh one of these
one of these bog gases in front of one
of these beot that's all good and dandy
when it comes to an animal but when it
comes to a person so then over there
they're on a much higher level and
therefore everything we eat is extremely
subtle we're extremely careful and the
stomach is extremely sensitive because
when you're dealing with something on a
different level it's extremely sensitive
that's why these Arabs could eat
anything they can eat grass they can eat
anything because they're less than an
animal they're nothing better than an
animal and that's why it works the
higher a level something is the more
sensitive the stomach is the
says that they that a non-jew can eat
and it doesn't affect him but does
because everyone eats what's m for his
goof and the more sensitive you are as
rash himself brings over there in
the anything that's not a prince can't
handle it it can't stay inside of his
own so to AR Israel can't keep people
who don't do things appropriately in
this country the
is a tremendous you're sitting with
you're straight with you have a direct
connection we see the we see
the the the sense of things but there is
a contract we are on lease it's not P
that we're here we're here and we have
to pay the price yes we have to pay the
price for good and for bad we have a
rental contract that we have to keep up
to as ran writes and
bra da over there in St he says he asks
why Stone there were many people that
were acting like ston Stone wasn't so
there were a lot of people that were
full of a right you know what the r
answers the in so many
places because couldn't handle couldn't
handle and was St had to be turned over
the Canan were thrown out of here by
yahushua only because they didn't
deserve to be here even though they were
20 times stronger than us but once
decided you don't deserve to be that the
the that were put in here we're eating
up by lions because they weren't acting
appropriately and therefore we also when
we're here we have a
rule if you keep to the we know that we
have to speak to ourselves we're don't
speaking to anyone else we're only
speaking to ourselves and this is what
we have to remember and we have to keep
to that we have to make sure to keep
ourselves on the contract you have to
pay your dues we're here on rent you're
not here you can't do whatever the heck
you want we're here with a certain type
of a there's there's a on us on us yes
the people are are we doing what we were
supposed to be doing are we keeping to
the land is there too much and
especially the amount of Unfortunately
they can be done by people who are
religious that is one of the number one
on the list we said
in the number one on the list of things
that uh that can that can that can that
can destroy us and we have to make sure
to keep to all of these types of things
in the beginning of connects because in
the end of it
says it says over there that you will
receive the whole entire land it will
all be yours everywhere that you step
will be there and then immediately in
the beginning of the next
part
says he says it's a beautiful land it's
a but you should know sometimes it's but
sometimes it's CLA meaning by being in
the land of is it could be a and it
could also be a CLA that itself can be
when says the if you're if you listen to
what I have to say it's
a then
it's a it's something that can go and be
used against
us I'm reading to you word for
word will be jealous will be upset at
you they will be upset at you they will
not be happy with you and they will
destroy you inside of your own
land I read to you word for word from
the beginning of they will destroy you
in your own
land because if you're not keeping to
what I'm telling you to keep to if
you're not trying to keep a Ty World a
Isel to keep it to the way it's supposed
to
be the will be upset of you and they
will take care of you and they
will they will they will go and bring
the CLA instead of instead of the this
is the this is the message that is being
thrown at us in our face and it's thrown
to each and individual of us we don't
make any any differences any any
stereotypes but we all have to know and
take the message that when sends us
messages like this as we spoke out in
the past already this is a message
that's clear as that it's only from is
telling us don't be on
yourself is everyone's mentioning but
for but don't forget the end of
it from it the itself will be the point
of you know why from it itself it's but
the place itself will be the point of
Yeshua you know why because it will be
used as a stepping stone as a lesson it
will be used as a way to graduate and
move to the next step to realize that we
are under the under the Credence of
we're only here because lets us live
here we're learning how to pay rent and
I'll end
with says an incredible thing also in
the beginning
of this is the beginning of over there
he's referring to the fact that um that
that the idea of that people when people
go through he says not only when a
person gets killed but even when he goes
through any type of for the sake of when
he does that it brings you up another
dark he's speaking about the greatness
of and over there he brings an
incredible thing over there in the
bottom of the they
used to say when he brought the which is
everyone so familiar with I tell it to
people all the time when they move to
over there bring they bring that a lot
of people used to write letters to the
and say we moved here to and it's just
not comfortable we're not enjoying it
here it was much more easier living on
the bank on the on the on the on the
Pacific Ocean over there relaxing on the
end over there being able to to be able
to enjoy ourselves the houses were
bigger the furniture was more
comfortable that that we weren't
surrounded by a bunch of M Arabs at the
time
we're okay why why do you know it's
difficult here living in is so you know
used to do he used to quot the that
says gave of course we know what the
three are three biggies oh that makes
sense that's of course we know we've
been raised we know the Torah is it and
the third one is is the third one and
all three of them he
says those three are only given on day
wow three things are given on day
through difficulties three things that
can't be accomplished and be kind of
very easily it kind of bothered me why
does it have to be with you just let it
be C like everything else what's the
difference says incredible incredible he
says every kenon that you have in every
time you make a Kenyon in the Kenyon the
acquisition is not equal to theit to the
object that you are buying you can go
ahead and buy a whole entire house a
whole entire Mansion which is worth
millions and tens of millions of dollars
by making a kazaka you go in open and
close the door you make a kazaka and you
make a Kenyon on the object by making
some type of Kenyon we can be coining
things with MCH you can be coining
things with money and not always have to
be you're going and buy yourself a
Ferrari if the guy agrees you can make a
k with 100 bucks you can hand $100 bill
and you make a
Kon you're able to make a Kon not always
equal and himself brings the biggest of
the biggest of course you could be with
the you can go ahead and be make a k Ona
you can get married to your wife which
of course we know all those married men
we all know what a fantastic fantastic
thing it is and here you have you could
do it even with a shut with such a small
amount of money with a half a shekel
with 10 cents you can go ahead and do
and do such a such an event every Kenyon
every acquisition is not always equal to
the thing that is being the being that
is being acquiesced there's only three
differences on that statement there's
only three things that the kinan has to
be equal and tantamount to what you're
doing and he says everybody understands
I'm not getting for free for whatever
reason the gives but we
know doesn't come for free it comes
equal equal the amount that you were you
put into it in this world that's how
much you're going to get the amount of
pain that a person went through here the
amount of you Ser it's because the is
equal it's 10 amount to the amount of
which is something so self-understood in
Torah also do you want to be tah if you
get freebies if it's all coming for free
just because you're a super smart guy
and it comes very quickly that doesn't
mean that you're going to get a biger
the guy you had to toil and haror over
it things that we all understand I'm not
saying any not telling but here's the
says number three on the list is yes is
it can't
be the more you Ser you put in the more
of the Kon you have inside of it even
Isel you want to make a real Kenyan it's
not going to be easy it comes with a
certain amount of haska of
uncomfortableness yes it doesn't always
come if it comes too easy then you're
not living in Isel and this rutner is a
letter and one of his letters and with
this I finished actually writes in one
of his letters he says I was in a Israel
what a beautiful l in this but he came
back and he left he says you know why
because he said I was in a Israel I
stayed there I smelled the beautiful air
I was able to ate the food I was able to
see the people and I was Mak Beauty the
beauty of the land he said I was there I
stayed there and I was living and and I
was I was staying there but he said I
didn't make a Kenyan in AR Isel because
I didn't feel the pain I didn't go
through any you ser and he says the only
way to make a real Kenyan in AR Israel
sometimes is sometimes when it goes to a
difficult spot and I go and I push
myself to stay or I push myself to know
that yes it doesn't have to be as
comfortable and I teach my children this
mess and that's the message that we're
trying to bring out here and that's how
Rashi starts the beginning of the whole
first rash whole first
rash whole entire sh everything rash
rashis of all the Rashi says that we're
here on rent we're here with this we're
in a beautiful land we're in a place
that people should not be running away
to everyone from this war should only be
coming closer but we should be coming
closer and coming in and trying to do
the best we
can should give us a
tremendous he should bring back all our
and all our soldiers and we shall only
be
safe and only will
come that we will each take on of us all
a something special something that we
haven't done until now to be able to do
that that is the message to be able to
do it goes over and Beyond even
listening to the
news
