it's the late partial show the show
would you usually get to late and in
which I mind my own business while
talking about the current Torah portion
that's what partial means by the way
Torah portion Blake partial show even
sounds the same parsha
portion okay my cameras running on the
battery over here so we're gonna have to
do this quickly so first of all this
week's Torah portion is called hiace era
which means the life of Sarah our four
mother the portion opens up with her
passing and Abraham's purchase of a
burial ground in which she buries her
Abraham then sends his servant Eliezer
to go seek a wife for Isaac his son from
among his relatives and most of the
Torah portion is dedicated to narrating
eleazar's journey interestingly the
Torah actually records the story twice
once as it actually happens in unfolds
and a second time after Eliezer meet
Rebecca the girl who would marry Isaac
and tells the story of his journey to
her family now how come the story of
eleazar's journey is repeated twice in
the Torah 11th century commentator Rashi
answers that question by quoting a sage
from the Talmud I won't quote him but
the point is that apparently the regular
conversation of the servants of our
forefathers is more beloved to God than
the laws that we'd expound from the
Torah you know right the regular
conversation of the servants of our
forefathers is more beloved to God than
the laws that we would expelled from the
terror and the proof is in the pudding
pudding
the story of eleazar's journey is
repeated twice while many many mitzvahs
and fundamental laws of the Torah are
hidden with different hints and
allusions and allusions mean the same
thing don't they now come to think of it
what's up with that why are so many of
the torah's law is only hinted to so
cryptically why don't God just say I'm
straight up well the mitzvahs are God's
will and that's understandably a very
high concept God wants something the
source of the mitzvahs are so sublime
our is I'm not sure which one to say the
mitzvahs are so sublime that
doesn't contain them in regular words
hints and illusions again those two mean
the same thing will have to suffice much
like how any very deep concept is
extremely hard to relate in normal words
which by the way is why I'm extremely
thankful to God for giving me the
ability to sing ooh someone faxed in a
question aka I love the way I wrote this
down and I don't want to mess up on even
one word so I'm gonna read it straight
off the paper okay but if the mitzvahs
are so sublime and are therefore
contained in hints then how come God
loves the regular non super cryptic
straight-up and simple story words of
Abraham's servant Eliezer the reason
ladies and gentlemen is because God
wants to be in our world or I should say
our world the story of Eliezer is an
easy read
it's Torah that will slide into our
materialistic brains with ease it's
simple it's understandable and it's not
cryptic except that we learn all of this
from the story and the ultimate delight
for God is when we learned the really
cheap and most profound concepts of the
Torah what God loves most is when we
learned the deepest most profound parts
of the Torah and make them super
accessible and understandable to
ourselves and to everyone may the
secrets of Torah we don't yet know be
revealed immediately with Messiah now
it's on Shabbos sound we gotta go
welcome to the lane or judge show
