Recognize Your Greatness | Rabbi Binyomin Weinrib

[Music] The Gomorrah in Shabas tells us one shouldn't show favoritism to one child over the other child because we see that when Jacobu gave that beautiful caused jealousy amongst the brothers and ultimately led to Klus Israel going down to Mitzim and the obvious question is if it's so terrible to give something to show favoritism to one child over the other. Why would Yakav ainu give atm? Doesn't he understand that the brothers are going to be jealous and this is only going to lead to more hatred, kina and sah amongst the brothers? Why would Yakavinu show favoritism to Yavadic? And perhaps the answer is is that Yakavino understood that Yavadic was going to head down to Mitzam. Yakavino understood that he was going to be dealt with terrible, terrible challenges in the world of Kadusha. And Yakov understood that the greatest way to fight challenges in the world of Kadusha is to recognize that you are a Ben Melik to recognize that you are a king to recognize how great you are. When a person feels good about themsel when a person understands that I am a Benmel I am connected to the I am then I don't want to get involved in things which are beneath my dignity. I don't want to get involved in in things which are superficial and unimportant and don't really carry any value because I'm a Ben Melik. Yakabino understood that by propping Yatsadic up by giving him by making him feel like a king at will have the capability to be able to withstand the terrible temptations of when you feel like a bend to the then anything's possible the swar say that the ta and the of hashem alim which is simple translation means that the muser of hashem my child is alim don't get involved in things which are disgusting can be read a little bit differently mus hashem the muser of hashm The rebuke of Hashem is one word.
