Does Esau REALLY hate Yaakov
291 views
Rabbi Gurfein, the founder of 'The People's Talmud' presents a lecture titled 'DOES ESAU REALLY HATE JACOB" for Yiboneh. Things are never like they seem. Yaakov is called truth and yet everything about him seems to be a trick. Esau is pegged as evil and yet even the Messiah is waiting in Rome to bring the world's redemption.

this week's parsha are in Rebecca's
stomach right now she doesn't know at
this point she has twins she has
schizoid because in the one hand she
walks by the naked me Trish and a little
baby watching and the other hand was by
a resorbable thing was to come out until
apparently she would though actually two
people in her stomach right one is yeah
hold and one is ASA let's take a little
interesting look at this going to bring
an amazing amor from NIDA on this as
well who are I mean first of all the
rashi brings their that every time she
walked by the baby Josh or Torah study
hall Yakko wanted to get out every time
she won't buy a house of idolatry asaph
wanted to get out now what's the classic
way we always learn that you know it's
kinda like The Flintstones right you
have a little Fred Flintstone with a
halo and the little one with a horn so
there's good guy Yakko ooh I'm gonna go
learn in yeshiva and then this bad guy a
sub wow I want to go worship idols and
so on that's how we learn it we have a
big problem with that and that is we
know that there is no evil inclination
in the womb the evil inclination only
begins at birth not in the womb in fact
just the opposite we know that what a
baby good mornin ada is inside of its
mother it actually has a little I guess
today we call it a go pro but in those
days was a little candle and that sat on
his head that enabled him to see from
one end of the universe to the other who
else had that power Adam the first man
so every human being is like Adam
himself is the human of all humans so he
has what she has this little candle that
allows him or her to see from one end of
the universe to the other not only that
he has an angel who teaches him the
entire tour did you probably don't
remember that the minute the baby is
about to be born the angel pops them in
the lip puts that little room and
everything is forgotten and that's why
if you ever have google translate for
babies when you hit the baby
before New York what really translated
what them right it's like we're in my
lab okay so that power however until
it's born it's it's perfect holla fine I
know if you remember that George Carlin
can call him in debate me Jeremy I
reckon George Carlin piece where he says
if I was God I we did just the opposite
you'll be born really old right and then
it goes all the way back until you die
inside the womb like doing like three
first full process but any other at that
moment that's like it doesn't get better
than there that is it's downhill from
there a womb with a view and so you have
this struggle of Yaakov and ASA and and
they're both angelic so what is rushing
me how about this yeah we actually met
exactly what he said but he didn't mean
what we interpret then why she meant
that when he came to the study hall
yanka want to go learn Torah that's his
job he's to bring spirituality in this
world he is the OC Tove and when it came
to the house of idol worship yeah asa
wanted to go there do you know what you
wanted to do you wanted to burn it down
aesop's pure essence is to rid the
physical world of evil and when ASA is
together with Iago as one that's how
they unify ASA is the power to feed the
world is the power to organize commerce
that no one to any religion or race our
planet should suffer or be hungry and we
should be without a home and the same
time he's being fed to spiritual energy
that Yakoub is supposed to be they were
a tag team that's what's why she's
telling us and I'll show it to you a
little bit further rifka goes to the
nutty she wants to find out you know
Tesco say what's going on to him so I'm
rah she says she wanted to know my head
is soph what my aim is so how about just
my yet what's hot will be what's
happening what is
she tagged on this word end so what do
you mean she want she want to know what
will be in Vienna I mean okay so the
simple language will be you know as we
kind of stumble through Rashi means
what's gonna be the end of my pregnancy
what's going to come out of me but I she
goes further and therefore when you see
when russia goes further that can't be
that she's just talking about her
pregnancy she really means what's going
to be in the end of days from these two
children and how do we know that because
when she's told she has two sons how she
does not say you have two sons a sub and
Yaakov and Russian is mr. shot why does
it rush you just say shot you have two
sons okay Yaakov Aneesa Rashi comes out
of left field he says who are the most
two kids in you one is ready whoo dahana
see known as ready and the other is
antonis right Cesar Rome what those of
those two people are thousands of years
into the future this is what rifka is
worried about right now and these will
be the answer yes rashes only does an
amazing thing rashi is telling us that
when will you see the unity that you
feel inside of you right now that Yaakov
and a sub inside the womb are angels and
they're in a perfect harmony of working
together you will see it in the period
between the relationship of ready and
Antinous and the Gomorrah is saturated
with the love mutual love between the
two of them so therefore we have an
example of the epitome of a sub and
Israel living incredible harmony
manifest in this idea of them now we're
gonna take one step back and now looks
are one step forward and we're going to
see that now jumping into parshas ye
schlock and Yaakov is now coming back
with his wives and his kids and so on
there's an amazing event that happens
when
to the rashi there where he brings up
Shimon bar Yochai but for the minute
let's first look at the verse the verse
says that all the Sun a sub comes and
greets Yakko it says he sees him he runs
degree in a hugs him he falls on him he
kisses him and he cries about going to
rushing for a minute that's the simple
event and we're not going to see because
everyone including the more talks about
this we're gonna end the class with like
an amazing little piece of Cibola at
least blew my mind and I hope you'll do
the same for you as well but we find
that that yopo somehow was able to
convert ace up into his friend in other
words maybe we will go to the Russian
for a minute questioning and lashing is
did he really kiss him with a full heart
or not okay so very kind said yes you're
right according to those people say he
did we know that it's a given that ASA
hates Yaakov but at this moment he loved
them and why she builds us up before we
get to that Rashi with an earlier Rashi
which in the same verse says that ASA in
his heart was touched by he saw how many
times Yakko ballad before him he was
touched by the jest the heartfelt
gesture of Yaakov trying to connect with
him okay Alison wilderness this is my
friend Michael taken sort of put this
idea I was really kind of blown away by
the aerosol agree with it but it's a
very beautiful kind of an approach and
i'd like to share with you so when in
the early days of the two of them going
up a sub is really a man he is a man in
this world he's I mean cave the Pharisee
and mitzvahs and so on and so on he is
out there he is Power Man he's wearing
Adams clothes which he killed Nimrod and
took from the Nimrod because Nimrod when
I say Adams close this is the clothing
God made for Adam and Eve when they left
the garden ed so it passed down Nimrod
got it ASA killed them right and he took
it so he's wearing the clothing of the
first man himself and as he's wearing
his clothing of the first man he's now
in a situation where he sees his little
brother his
there is mama's boy right he's got dad's
love and I'm about girls but certainly
my boys boys always want dads love they
always want to feel that dad approves
and here his brother ASA gets all the
love all the approval it's only his
mother that loves it which is nice you
know I find out later mom club but it's
not what guys normally want to feel like
there another guy that they'd achieve
this and it not only is he a mama's boy
he stays home all the time or he's the
achieve all the time he's a cook right
not a warrior he's equipment and perhaps
he even shares jealousy perhaps there's
something in Yaakov that's really
jealous of asaph I mean why was he
cooking red lentils why not clear broth
why not me sue me why did it have to be
red per se because a sub ed dome was
always red maybe there was something in
this soup that somehow lot of thought
who maybe this is my magic potion if I
could drink the red suit because you are
what you eat I could become like a sub
and one point even he even dresses like
a sub he puts on a sub clothing but this
was Yaakov this was young Khufu on the
surface appears to be clever tricky
deceptive I mean let's talk about this
why couldn't you Cove just approach a
sub and sit down and having a
conversation about what is the value of
the firstborn and why since a sub isn't
interested in this let's just do this up
front and why when it was time for the
blessings why couldn't have been a
family meeting everyone comes together
everyone puts the chips on the table why
have to be with an image of us as Jews
as cheaters as Shylock's and all these
other images was higher up why did that
have to be what we project into this
world through the face of Yaakov and we
know that the face of Yaakov is so holy
it's one of the four phases of God's
throne and not only is one of the four
God's throne but we know of all the
attributes that we attribute we tribute
the attribute of MX Tiangco yeah I'm
supposed to be the epitome of effort and
suddenly this whole perception is a liar
and is a cheap so what's happened now
all of a sudden asa what does he see
remember they're twins what is a zoo see
when he sees Yaakov coming back from
Howell lovin he sees himself he says
well oh my brothers grown up he's got
four wives not 1 i've got four wives
he's got wealth and money and power and
he's been in the field he now knows what
it's like to be a grunt to be in the
trenches he knows what it's like to work
in the hardships of the winter door he's
no longer hanging out he's a mama's boy
anymore he's like me yo yo let's go do
beers right may God suddenly he sees
himself but yeah Pope says no I'm not
you I'm more than you I'm Israel I have
learned how to combine yaakov and royal
into one I have a person a whole person
and because i have a whole person when
yacht but when asaph says ashley hart
bad i had a lot Yaakov answers is
usually called I have everything now in
contrast asa was much more powerful in
much richer but asus focus was the
disease of it's never enough in fact me
Gomorrah says that this term part bed
hbu Maura says that we're alone is the
word that destroys this world because
the emphasis of I have a lot is about
what I still don't have so even if I
have everything but I don't really have
the last little drop I am humming and
everybody bounced to me but one freaking
little Jew Mordecai so what no I can't
live if Mordecai doesn't bow because I
need one hundred percent and that can
never be satiated in fact this is the
death of yop of a sub we know the famous
story that when Yaakov is being buried
in a sub consciousness no I have to
Maqubela so there was a grandson of time
who was that didn't know was going on
took his four by four BAM pops ace up in
the back of the head his eyes the
governor says popped out of his head and
landed on yaakov chest and yapa who was
dead suddenly opens his eyes sees a subs
eyes and lamps this is a good moral
verbatim okay what is going on well
there are two ways to have your eyes
there's the famous story of Alexander
when it comes to the Garden of Eden the
gore and tummy you might be familiar
with the amazing stories Valley stand
there and going all around the world
battling in Africa and finally comes the
card to eat he's pounding on the door I
am the king of the world open the door I
buzz off doing your only immortal hey I
came here buzz whoa okay Kylie's get a
t-shirt I visited carne Toros so this is
a little like when I was like slide
windows open and they threw out an
eyeball what I believe the garden you
know like I was as I become so the
eyeball was alive he didn't know what to
do with it laura says he put the eyeball
on his scale and as he put gold on the
other side of the scale the more gold
the heavier the I gold would go up and
the I would come down and nobody could
explain the riddle to him until he went
to the rabbi's and the rabbi's took dirt
and they put it over the eye to the
scale went the other way and the lesson
is is that an eye that looks for gold
will never be satisfied until it's dead
the dirt over the eyes and symbolism of
somebody who is dead and in contrast
like the blind beggar from ravine ocwen
seven beggars the blind beggar wasn't
really blind at all he was just blind to
this world he only saw that which was
really visible like the death beggar the
death beggar only heard holiness in fact
this is why if you know the word roshka
dole which means a great noise is the
numerical value of 613 because the only
noise in this world that's any noise is
wholly noise so the death bed which is
deaf to all of this noise but to the
real holiness he heard the blind beggar
look at this world because as he said
about himself I'm already dead but I
haven't been born because there's
nothing in this world that's worth
looking at but to see that which is holy
one can see even after they're dead so
yo who never die yakov low mate so even
when he was dead his eyes could still
open and see the eyes of ASA that's on
one level I'm going to hold that final
level why did Yaakov laughs not very
nice correct so why did he laugh it will
hold that to the end of the class in
just a few more minutes so therefore
what happens now is when when ASA is
encountering him and there's this level
of of this coming to the next level of
what was this encounter how did he make
him as his friend so it says there then
Richard says the bar holika that we all
know as a halacha that ASA hates yahoo
now the mortises an interesting thing
the worst says whenever there's a
language of how lucky it's the law it
means there was an argument maybe not
even in that area come in an argument
three thousand other doppia my way who
knows what but now the more telling you
that of that argument here is the
resolution where is here an argument
who's arguing with Shimon who's arguing
that a sub doesn't hey Yaakov who's
arguing that become more has to use this
language ok yeah one guy says he doesn't
if Sherman says he does and the law is
if shipment says he does ok so nobody
argues so nobody's arguing why are we
using the language halacha and sort of
funny halacha right i mean you can say
masood it's the reality it's the nature
but halacha i mean like it's a bit
doctors only rather nut I mean what does
it mean it's the whole Martha so the
answer is really an amazing thing when
we talk about not locate my hook it is
like a it's a department it
means this area as opposed to that area
so yeah there's classical argument based
hello says you like candles 128 they
shall I says you like eight to one but
really there's an idea that there
two different concepts so really what
Rick Shimon is saying is that if we say
that a sub hates Yaakov that's in
contrast to ASA who loves Israel and we
know the hatred is a non-entity hatred
like cold there's no such thing as cold
I mean obviously you walk on the winter
you don't say I'm absence in heat but in
a scientific level cold is an absence of
heat in the same way that darkness right
you have a little machine that like
blows darkness into the room right
darkness is an absence of light so
hatred is an absence of luv actually the
Baal Shem says a little bit further he
says that the opposite of hatred and
love is apathy that hatred is not the
opposite of love it is love but it's
frustrated it's something we're all that
energy wants to be loved but for some
reason the vessel to allow it to become
love is not being provided could you
just imagine this for you just imagine
that in truth how much the Palestinians
love the Jews I mean you say they love
us to death but I don't say that but
they love us the world loves us and how
do you know because they're not affect
to us they don't ignore us we're on
their radar everywhere and therefore the
only problem is that we have not
converted ourselves into the vessel of
being royal that will give them that
opportunity to turn their own hatred
into love it will happen and we're going
to get there and here i'm going to show
you something very interesting and
you'll see how this all ties in to kiss
laid on it up as well there were eight
blessings that it stock had seven of
them went to Yaakov and the eighth one
went to ACF the blessing means is
symbolized by the numerical value of 26
so that's why I sort of pointed out
earlier in the class this idea that
peace treaty between Roman is over 26
years so 26 is the name of Hashem you
cave of k is the cometary of numerical
value of 26 so each bracha was an
ability to connect with Ashley not with
a divine presence with a shed in various
way the fact that it's not as aid here
would you like my work to win this i'm
not mistaken thank you so the idea that
he had eight we know that the volatility
an amazing pelletorium take a look at
the last valla torium in last week's
parsha impartial hi sora it says there
was the last verse according to how not
how hartsville translate but how is all
so the transplant me understand why they
did that because it's hard to understand
but the word really is and he's not a
Schmo fell fell before all of his
brothers and the next verse is the start
of this week's parsha told us a blue
told us around get shocked and the
ballot or Ian Ayre says that in the end
of days when Ishmael will fall quickly
in our days and we know that the folding
oil brace yourself is that he does
chouhan and becomes a holy man and a
holy people and so when he falls from
his arrogance and finds his inner self
and does to Bob immediately that's when
Messiah comes because meshia comes in
the merit up its dr. Warren shabbat God
comes into the above he says the merit
of all your children has been used up
Albert says kill him yahoo says chillin
obviously marsh our displays meaning you
know what they have a hard time down
there in the world just bring them out
here gunaydin we'll all party out but
yet that says no I gave my life for
these people and therefore bring meshia
instead so he gets knocked us about the
one who brings meshia gets up there for
imbibes right he is the great laughter
the joke of it all if you will but yes
I'm combines the eight bravas these
apricots are the gematria 26 times eight
is the garage
oh yes hip-hop is the epitome of
the eight he's the infinite he has the
ability to see through everything and
understand the resolution of the world
and how it ultimately will resolve of
Yaakov an ace of his brothers and SH
well as a holy name so he has that power
he wanted to give them all to a sub
because in the end ason is going to have
the critical eighth braga the eighth
candle of Hanukkah Zoet kombucha the
completion of yahwah dinner rush
Hashanah which is so konica that's a sub
when ace of himself becomes illuminated
becomes the light and that's why a sub
ate broccoli will is his head that's why
Yaakov laughed because yahoo was
laughing the laughter of his father
whose very name is laughter because when
he saw that aesop's head was also going
to be in the mock pehle he realized that
the future of goodness of the resolution
of the world was resolved because now
with a subs head and Gotham's body all
the eight brothers were reunited so when
he said this Yaakov is 7 x 26 the kamati
of Yaakov is 7 x 26 Yaakov got seven
Broca's that's his name 27 x 26 Yitzhak
had eight brothers what about ASA so
there's a word in Hebrew called Tula
10mm olive which means impurity also is
connected Florrick a tomb which means
hidden that in fact everything which is
a pure in this world really has purity
inside of it but it's hidden from our
eyes so therefore in the world we live
and we have to say this is pure impure
but really everything is pure but we
can't live like that because we have to
live in this world that we live so
therefore there is a word called
impurity now the numerical value of
impurity is 50 right we often talk about
50 as the Newton Shari being at the 50th
gate of wisdom but there's also an
opposite gate which is there as much as
the mud Shari bina of wisdom is the
connection to the infinite the 50th gate
of impurity is game over that's why it
says that God had a sort of rush coming
out of Egypt because we
the 49th level had we entered the 50th
we would have never come out Nick game
over maybe someone else would have come
out but that would no longer be the
Jewish people they wouldn't dissolve it
would be a new creation but as the Jews
to come out we couldn't hit that 50 and
that's why the kolache atooma is 50 so
let's look at asos name this is all the
way by the way I'm sharing with it is
Torah from the mach net was one of the
great commentaries on the one condition
and he's writing this when it talks
about in North additionally it's
uncuffed head on the bed the
seven-headed dragon up there baby Josh
of a bio so there was a rabidly there
who got up when this dragon appeared and
he battled to God and each time he bowed
to God one of the dragon heads fell off
until he killed the dragon so a sob look
look look at ASA ASA has seven times 50
plus 26 is the gamut area of ASA seven
levels of two MO and one level of
Sheamus shem this is asa he's eight
parts Yama's only seven parts you top
knew this yes I've knew that ASA trinsic
lee is greater than yahoo and that's why
he thought he could pull off the
redemption by the way rifka was smarter
she would had to go the long way but
this capacity of a sub was eight levels
where's yahoo is only seven levels so
ASA has eight levels however the first
seven are two mo seven times 50 these
are each one of these are the 50 tumors
and then the eighth one is 26 so how
many times did yak about ASA seven times
each time Yaakov bound to a sub he was
extracting one level of that tumor so
what he was actually doing was going
into his brother and finding the way to
rectify his brother not abandoning him
not cursing him not belittling him but
finding the way to elevate him so that
once he could clean out these seven
levels of tumor all that was left in a
sub of Sheamus Shem and therefore out
the love outcomes the hugging help comes
the kiss because he really loved him
with all of his heart because those
things which separated a Sauvignon Cove
through the horror of hatred because of
the misunderstanding and the lack of our
ability to convert from late from yaakov
and Israel had now been fulfilled where
Israel have now reached that night
before this battle he had reached out a
level of becoming Israel and therefore
he could create that rectification that
rectification is of course what is the
idea of the eight candles of Hanukkah
and that's why this comes in the month
of Kislev because the challenge of the
Jew is to become the Yaakov which
converts into the soil which comes the
heart which is the call which is itself
call as c'mon tree of 50 and so
therefore by the power of call and the
letters of call or cuffin lawmen it's
the two aspects of intellectual is the
aspect of cook which is the power of
imagination of understanding something
of similarities of how they appear and
it's also the letter lulama which is the
power to learn learning from life so
Yoko begins in the world of cup
everything is like as if and he converts
it to the world of having gone through
real experience and real knowledge and
that is called that's the heart of a
person and when we were able to make
that we are able to convert even a sub
into hockey into our brother and to be
able to bring the ate breakfast together
which allows us in the month of Kislev
to culminate that in Hanukkah where we
really bring that about here's the last
point and this is the Battle of the
clothing of Adam who is the real man in
a dance in Rome the man was all about
this man standing on the saying
we are the real men and we're wearing
the garments of Ace of Adam now when was
Adam created well we know that he was
created on Russia China but when was the
world created it was created earlier six
days or cuff hey ello 25th of elbow now
in a perfect
nancy how long is a mommy pregnant nine
months so what is nine months before
when did the in section of creation take
place at heathrow cuff hey kiss length
the first night of hanukkah home that
was the night that the light came down
into this world and that's why Hanukkah
becomes the ultimate rectification of
showing the light of the miracle which
creates not only the world of nature but
also the world of the revealed miracle
as well so thank you very much
