Shalom everybody welcome back to the
ebony bait in midrash welcome home to
Torah we're impartial with ISRO still
says an introduction I give this every
time a quick one minute rundown we use
the clear car as the basis for our
discussion
you can find down below
a link where you can find the Hebrew
Source sheets I really hope that you do
to follow because there's really almost
no way that you can really pick up the
nuances in the English if you follow
along the Hebrew grade but if you follow
along not with my Hebrew but the Hebrew
sheets even better
um I do want to mention there are going
to be we're going to talk about a
medrish and Rashi brings down the
medrish it's a famous medrish at yisro's
actual transformation and conversion
we're not going to speak about tonight
however
down below there is a link to the
previous Shireen and the title of the
sheer I would love you to listen to
about
isro's own personal transformation
in his in his belief in the one God the
true God of Israel the creator of the
universe it's called the truth seeker's
Guide to the universe
down below I encourage you to listen to
that and to follow the sheets we will
not be discussing that tonight what
we're going to discuss be discussing is
a measures that Rashi brings down
although Rashi doesn't bring the entire
measure-ish the clear card brings down
the entire medish and he goes through
the psychological I believe
psychological thought process of ISRO
in each one of the different opinions
expressed in the medrish I don't know if
you'll find it anywhere else but you'll
find it here on the uh in the humanity
midrash on the Clear Car
so we're in chapter 18. now I would love
for you to become familiar with verse 1
through 6.
in chapter 18.
as we see in English we'll start out
with the English
that in verse 1 it says the ishma ISRO
ISRO heard
and in verse
in verse five I want you to go to verse
six but nevertheless but in verse 5 it
says the Yago ISRO and yistro came I
want you to pay attention to everything
that's in between
including verse 6
Israel yishra heard something and there
is a narrative
a very important narrative that perhaps
we didn't pay so much attention to
and then it says that he came
madrush expresses three different things
three different opinions about the
report that ISRO had heard
and he came
it's very important that we dissect the
medrish
and we'll start with just understanding
the Verses first so ISRO the minister of
media and the father-in-law Moses heard
everything that God did to Moses and to
Israel's people that Hashem had taken
Israel out of Egypt the Ishmael
Israel Amo
then the next verse which is really part
of this very important narrative that
perhaps we skip over and we don't
understand
exactly what's going on it says gistro
again the father-in-law of Moses
took chipor the wife of Moshe after she
had been sent away
and not only did he bring not only did
you so bring sipura
but verse Reese's and her two sons of
whom the name of one was Gershon
and he said I was a Sojourner in a
Strange Land
verse 4 the name of the other was
Eliezer for the god of my father came to
my Aid and he saved me from The Sword of
pharaoh
yeah
now verse 5 is where it says Israel came
very important to know verse 1 ISRO
heard
verse 5 Israel came the other yes Elohim
that Jethro the father of Moses came to
Moses with his sons
and wife meaning with Moses his sons and
his wife to the Wilderness where he was
encamped by the Mountain of God
verse 6
he said to Moses I your father-in-law
Jethro hath come to you with your wife
and her two sons with her
so verse 6 in Hebrew
the Young
so the clear card Begins by quoting this
verse the ishma is
and he quotes right away this famous
medrish which interestingly enough and I
want to point out Rashi does not bring
the entire measures and we could ask and
maybe should ask why
so the metric goes like this
here's the quote
what exactly did ISRO hear what report
was it that he heard and he came
there's three opinions
says that he heard about the report of
the war with Amma Lake
very important to remember these three
opinions we will go into them in depth
foreign
that it was the giving of the Torah
receiving of the Torah the revelation of
Mount Sinai that ISRO heard and he came
and the third opinion is rebe eliezero
Mayor Chris yamsu shmobile
we have a lot of problems that we have
to discuss before we really go further
one issue is this is chapter 18.
chapter 18 is partials the Israel begins
in within portions yes sir we have the
great Revelation in Mount Sinai the end
of chapter 9 and 19 and 20.
so if we have those
famous
Revelation the most awesome event that
ever happened in all of history
how can this measures bring down that
what did he hear
and come
first of all we have a few issues number
one is there really a Mach Locus what
actually did he hear
that's going to be a real good question
and number two Rashi leaves out the
middle opinion that it was about to
Martin Torah so I want to kind of
digress a little bit
is the Torah in order or not
from here you would might think it's not
and the truth is beleth Rashi and the
ramban even though it's a famous mock
Locust one holds a Torah is in order
that's Rashi the rambam hold it's not in
order I'm sorry the other way around the
Rashi says there's no uh there's no
water to the Torah and it's the ramban
who says it is but they really both
agree that it's not always meaning Rashi
basically holds that only by the oral
Torah you will know when the
chronological events took place
otherwise you might not know although
unless there were dates and it's obvious
without anything obvious you have to
rely on the orator
things are not in order and you would
have to know via the transmission
the ramban holds no it's really in order
except when there's a date or something
so obvious that it's not in order
interestingly enough since Rashi holds
that it's not in order why didn't he
bring in the Martin Torah opinion see
look let's look at Rashi it's on the
English Shore sheet number one what news
did he hear that made
I'm gonna I'm gonna take the what he put
the printer put into parentheses that
made an impression
that he came
so the rashi's quoting the measures the
splitting of the Sea and the war with
Amma Lake
okay now why is the Martin Torah answer
or opinion missing
so I hypothesized and I spoke it over
with Rabbi breidowitz and he kind of
liked what I had to say
it's like this
there's a whole nother question did ISRO
actually convert or did he remain a
righteous Gentile or even a gear toshav
because there are opinions that he
actually converted there's another
opinion that he remained a uh
and there's even an opinion that he
became a gear toshav
okay so Rashi seems to hold
that he actually converted why because
it's not that
he heard about Montour and came
rash is holding here in this case that
it's actually in order
that he came before Martin Torah and
what happened in montoro we all
converted every single Jew who's born
today is a Jew or born from converts
we all converted at Mount Sinai there's
no question that all the souls all of
our bodies were there and all of us who
were not there all of our souls had
converted Mount Sinai
so ISRO for sure if he came before Mount
Sinai would have been included in for
sure conversion and that is apparently
how Rashi holds therefore he cannot put
he left that out in the medrish I mean
the majors wrote it down but he didn't
quote it
which would make sense and be consistent
with Rashi however
what did we see so far we saw three
different opinions and at first glance
when we read this madrish we think that
each one is claiming that Israel heard
something different
that made him impression or caused him
to come
I will spoon feed you with just a little
bit that what the clear card is going to
tell us
based on the verse itself
it has to be that gistro heard
everything but one of the things that he
heard was what actually motivated him to
come and those
those ideas are revealed within those
verses verses one through six that we
had read it's within the narrative
so what the Clear Car wants to do now is
to prove to you to us there's no way
that it's what we originally thought
that yishra only heard one of these
things and then decided to come but of
course he heard all as the third line
down last word says
it certainly appears it certainly seems
that Israel heard everything
now this next statement is a rhetorical
statement
kilo May Roche Hashem
was it not already from the very
beginning
revealed
that Hashem spoke to the Jewish people
at harsinai and that at yam suf at the
splitting of the sea that a voice
emanated or resounded and he brings down
a verse in Exodus chapter 16 verse 14.
you can see that
it's actually it's 15 verse 14. it's
number four on the source sheet see what
happened it says that people's heard
they trembled a shutter seized the
inhabits inhabitants of philista it
means the peoples all the peoples
because as you see if you read the few
verses there are four nations mentioned
four nations the number four always
represents the four directions of this
physical world
means the whole world heard
not only does it say that
but back later on in Joshua chapter 2
verse 10. I mean if you read from verse
8 through 11 in Chapter 2 you'll get an
idea right but rahav she says
in chapter in verse 10 for we have heard
how Hashem dried up the Waters of the
Sea of reeds when you went forth from
Egypt so the Nations heard they knew
ISRO heard
now that's all very nice when it comes
to the yamsuf and Wilson Martin Torah
the whole world knew it says every soul
was there amongst the Jews and all the
souls that were not there doesn't mean
only not the Jews it could mean and we
do believe it means even those
are going to call them Jewish Souls
people who are destined to convert and
there are plenty throughout history
of non-jews who have converted
so the verse that the clear card brings
down was the one in 15 verse 14. the
Shamu amim your gazoon right the
people's heard and they tremble which is
a proof that at least by these two
things
obviously we're talking about all three
but
um that he heard everything that Israel
heard everything because at least
minimally people heard about harsinai
and about the yamsuf
now in came the men
so if that's the case if we're going in
order of what the clear car is saying so
then if he heard everything what are
they really arguing about rebi Yoshua
rebielli and revealiezer is it really
what he heard no it's what he heard that
motivated him to come as we will see so
clearly in the words
from the very fact that the measure says
according to each opinion that he heard
and came focus on the coming part what
motivated him to come because he
obviously heard everything
we understand from this
the argument is not about what he heard
also
because everyone all three of these
different opinions agree
that he heard everything the verse says
he heard everything
certainly understood in this paragraph
that ISRO actually heard everything that
God had done
that was performed for the Jewish people
in Egypt ah however
what is the real Essence what is what is
the prime argument here
see the word garma which report was it
that garma that caused
what was the motivating factor what
caused him to come but he didn't come
alone see as I described in the
introduction if you want to know where
the transformation of Israel takes place
that's just a few lines later you know
verse 8 and onward okay but this is
something that motivated him to come
first and only once he's here as I
mentioned did we read verse 8 verse 8
says Moses told his father-in-law
everything that Hashem had done to
pharaoh and Egypt for Israel's sake and
then
Israel rejoices he says Baruch Hashem
and in verse 11 he says now I know see
up until this point he didn't say that
he was still in Midian he heard he comes
and we're going to see The Narrative of
what is really being discussed his
transformation only takes place really
in verse 11. now I know that Hashem is
greater than all the other gods for in
the very manner in matter in which the
Egyptians had conspired against them on
and on and on I just want you to know a
little bit of an idea listen to that
write down below there's a link it's
called the truth Seekers Guide to the
universe okay so that's where the
transformation takes place especially in
verse 11.
keep in mind in our very first verse
verse where he says he heard Edward says
he heard everything it uses the name
Elohim which is Medusa din which is
judgment and that means it didn't
effectuated
Moshe and Israel
whereas in verse 8
it says that
he told them everything that happened
but it says it was
that effectuated that acted upon
pharaoh and Egypt that's part of a truth
Seeker he a truth Seeker wants to know
the truth he wants to know who the real
overreaching all-powerful God of all
gods is and therefore it's only when
you're able to put together that that
one being can effectuate good and can
effectuate bad
okay in other words if it's someone
who's seeking the truth
and he believes in The Duality for some
reason he thinks that there's a good God
can only do good
and there's a God who can only do bad
so then he's not all powerful he's
obviously weak because when my enemies
come against me he's going to do them
favors instead of taking Vengeance okay
so keep in mind that idea when you go
and read about uh gistro's
transformation to understand that it's
one God everything emanates from one
being everything
good and what seems seems to be the
opposite of good everything emanates
from one being
let's go back into where we're at where
we just mentioned that
the argument has to be on the word
why did he came what motivated him to
come
so
that's what the clear card emphasis is
now le Coq necklace
remember in The Madras it says and he
came he heard and he came based on three
different opinions all of them agreed
that he came
so the coulomb heavinu all three of the
different opinions agree and understand
they understand
that verse 1 extends it's like one long
narrative until verse 5 that yeshra came
Israel heard and Israel came it's
exactly the words in the medrish
as if to say
La fish
like which report did he hear that
brought up some kind of new or novel
idea something he hadn't heard before
that forced him to come that motivated
him to come that enticed him to come
that right Al Kane ball therefore he
came
the and not only that not only did he
come because remember he didn't come
alone
he came with chipora the yikahimo S
sipora HS Moshe that's why he came
seemingly we'll see why
the kosher lehem now what was so
difficult or bothering each one of the
three different rabbis
mushma what report was it that he heard
shagarma that caused him to come the
vote Lola vote in anxious Moshe Ubana
with Moses wife and sons
so now we're going to go through the
three opinions
says it was Mark Locust with a Malik
that he heard
kiamashem what does Hashem say regarding
a Malik
that the war with Amma Lake will always
be generation after generation until the
end of time
if that being the case
who was yistro where did he go after he
left he didn't come to Erich Israel
that's why there's even a mock Locust
whether he converted he he obviously
right in the Torah it seems like he left
the yitra darben amaleki that where he
came from and where he lived
and went was amongst the amalek
amalekites somewhere near a rod
somewhere in the Negev now we go to
first Samuel
go to number six on the English sure she
now then King Saul was and we know that
he failed in his mission to wipe out a
Malik
but Saul came this is in chapter 15 of
first Samuel verse 5 and 6.
Saul came as far as the city of amalek
and he fought in the valley
now what did he say to these people
called the kenites
he said to these people these canites by
the way are the descendants of Jethro
okay we'll see a little bit I mean are
they Jewish or not Jewish they're living
amongst or close to on the border of the
amalekites in an area called a rod
and Saul says to them turn away and go
down from among the amalekites lest I
destroy you with them so he's like going
to protect them he's not going to kill
them with collateral damage
and why that the verse says and you did
kindness with all the children of Israel
when they went up out of Egypt and yes
the canines turned away from the midst
of Malik
so the verse is
Right lest you'll be destroyed with them
and it says
there was a you know paying it forward
as they say
somehow the canites are attributed to
doing when the Jews left Egypt what did
they do Rashi says there on that verse
the canites the descendants of Jethro
who are residing in the wilderness of
Judea in the south of Arad
now this is a little bit mysterious
because it says they went to Jabez to
learn Torah
it's a very interesting thing because if
they're Jews first of all the whole
thing is very complicated
as we'll see some of the other reasons
that that
we're giving them protection first of
all you're never going to wipe out Jews
in a war against the Malik it's it's it
must be that they were mixed in and they
weren't Jews so if they were Bene Noah
of course they were learning Torah the
Torah the banana are allowed to learn
um now Rashi here on that verse says
what does he mean all the children of
Israel right you did has it for all the
children of Israel when they left Egypt
so it says from mosinar and all the
elders partooking Jethro's meal when
Jethro either he converted or he just
said Hashem and he broke herbanos
so he he served them and when you serve
them when you do hasid with the gudolim
with the with the leaders of Israel it's
like you're doing with all of Israel but
that's too simple but okay Rashi brought
that down I have here a few other
opinions which are very
um I'm not going to say uh it's of
course very interesting we have an
opinion like we just said that the
kindness was that he provided food now
if it was his own conversion meal
I don't know what he was providing them
he was inviting them to partake of his
field of his of his Simka fine uh we all
know the kindness uh for the advice that
he set up a system he gave Moshe advice
in order to set up lower court systems
in order to free him up
so that Moses can spend more time
dealing with more important matters
higher courts and that is certainly uh
true he they also provided a home for
meaning Israel and his daughter they
provided a home in Midian when Moses
fled from Egypt he he took him in like a
son certainly as a son-in-law
and uh just an extension of that the
very fact the kindness of giving his
daughter to poora to Moshe to begin with
is a very um it's it's a huge kindness
okay so now going back into the Clear
Car
where we see
that this statement here is
that yistro lived amongst the amalekites
meaning after he left and his
descendants lived the canaites lived
near the amalekites
what did ISRO think what was his thought
process
he said like this to himself
if I do not return
and rematch you know make up a the
azibug is a a coupling
right so if I don't return and recouple
my daughter tomosha aim Kane what's
going to happen
we're talking about the future
I mean how ISRO understood this how he
understood this from what Torah did he
have at this time
the whole world knew that a Malik is
coming to attack us now and they're
going to attack us in the future he
either had a very high level of
spirituality and spiritual insight
or he actually already began to to
understand the Torah at some point
so it says like this that since the
amalek is eventually going to be
attacked and I'm living amongst them
then the Jews are going to attack me too
that's the reason the clear card says is
why he came with the wife of Moshe
Lazada
he wanted to bring her to return her to
rematch her up to recouple her after
Moses had sent her away
kiamar because Israel himself was saying
to himself
in me
that in the future they will do hasid
with me they will protect me I will be
protected
Moshe because I am Moses's father-in-law
and you know his sons
you know his sons are my grandchildren I
mean it's all one big family in I think
we call it protection right now it
sounds like at this point as I mentioned
the transformation of Israel becoming
either convert or a full blood a full
fled but they know doesn't happen until
we see chapter 8 and verse 8 through 11
and whatnot
but perhaps what motivated him to come
was almost selfish pre self-preservation
that's not a bad thing he loves life
okay so it sounds like he was doing it
at least according to rabieshua for
self-preservation
now
let's go into Rebbie Ellie
he said it was because of Martin Torah
we already discussed this idea perhaps
Martin Torah right came after I meaning
he came after Martin Torah that would be
this opinion according to Rashi it seems
like it came before matantara but if he
heard about Mountain Torah and that
motivated him to come again it was
something to do with his daughter with
Moses's wife that he brought her that's
what the narrative is
so what did we hear about Martin Torah
in Chapter 19 Verse 15 right before
matantara it says the man must separate
from his wife
where do I have that and number seven
behold he said to the people be ready
for three days do not go near a woman
now if that's true
this is what he reasoned it's called a
cow of the Homer it's a reasonable
logical argument
in his head he said
in order to talk to God the Jewish
people had to separate from their wives
and the wives also had to separate from
the husbands they had to be in a total
state of purity
there's I don't want to go into it
people who know what I'm talking about
but basically through the um through the
through the salmon that's coming out the
demand also it's going to the woman this
creates an impurity and therefore they
go to the Mikvah and what not so in
order to be prepared
to meet God at Mount Sinai the Jewish
people were warned and told stay away
from your partner
for three days
what about Moses
we all know later on
that Miriam and Aaron were involved in
some kind of
issue with speaking perhaps or listening
to lushanhara One was saying to the
other it's not fair I mean what is this
he's so holy right Miriam was saying to
ARA and he's so holy he cannot be with
his wife anymore he separated totally
something is uh
something's not right and this she was
she got leprosy for it was Lush and
Harish none of her business really
um but so what happens Moses on his own
made an executive decision
that since I'm on call
I understood the Jewish people before
the great Revelation have to stay out of
the way away from their wives for three
days but on one call at any moment God
can say hey mosh I got something to tell
you and you gotta tell the people
so Moses became celibate
okay he became celibate and he sent his
wife away let's read the uh the Clear
Car he says
what was yistro thinking
he came to the same conclusion he
understood that Moses was not allowed to
be with his wife in a sexual way anymore
um what was true by Israel
at the moment the Jewish people received
the Torah
parashomination they did they separated
from their wives
call chicane Moshe how much more so
Moses understood and Israel also
understood
IMO kosha because the divine presence
could speak to and did speak to Moses
whenever it wanted
me called the call therefore Moses
understood and yusu understood that he
should be separate from his wife
entirely at all times
and he would no longer seek her or send
for her and that would be the end of
that relationship
alkane therefore what was ISRO thinking
boy Israel ISRO came with her
the Haiti limosa
he brought to Moses his wife meaning
Israel's daughter sipura they had
already been previously married now they
were separated she was living with her
father at this point and he comes down
comes from Midian Midian and into Egypt
and brings her today
in order for to live with him
everyone needs a companion everybody
needs love even right we're not talking
about a sexual sense we're talking about
a friend
and wait till you hear this it says in
Isaiah chapter 44 verse 13.
we'll find that in number eight on the
English English Dorsey
it's a very interesting verse but it's
really only the last few words I'll read
it anyway the carpenter stretched out a
line he beautifies it with a saw he
fixes it with planes and with the
compass he rounds it and he made it the
likeness of a man just imagine what this
verse could be talking about listen to
the the beauty the cherry on top the you
know the what do you call it the the
whipped cream and the sprinkles right
like the beauty of a man
to sit in the house
Adam Le chevis bias
what does it mean house we saw before
that was last week or a few weeks ago
that the rabbi said I never called my
wife my wife I never called my cow my
cow I called my wife my house and I
called my cow the field because the main
concept behind both of these are what
the main where she really is is at
meaning that how she is she makes the
house she brings the children into the
world she raises the children everything
about the house is the woman she's the
Ikea to buy it you know in modern Hebrew
is what do you do if a woman is a
housewife they call it a character by it
meaning I am the house means the icker
the prime part of the house which is the
beauty of the man
is the what is the wife I read again
Rashi like the beauty of a man that is a
woman who is the beauty of her husband
I'm sure you've heard people say oh meet
my meet my wife the better half right
there's no question about it so then the
clear card ends off with these three
important words kadas moshev Israel
these are the words they're used at a
marriage ceremony
meaning that she will live with him he
has responsibilities he has a companion
it's not about the the sexual act
anymore it's it's purely on a whole
nother level it's a companion it's a
friendship it's real love
that will take place and Israel
understood this that even if they would
no longer be intimate
they need the intimacy of husband and
wife without the sexual act
okay so let's go on to rebi Eli yeser
oymer this is the return the page Chris
yamsuf rebe Eliezer said what did he
hear
he you sure heard about the splitting of
the sea now this is I think one of the
most fascinating Concepts we're about to
hear
what could it be about the Chris yamsuf
I mean you think it must have been all
the Miracles wow wow wow like uh better
than any reality you know uh what do you
call that uh
you know virtual reality you know you
can make up no this was like the real
deal right hundreds of Miracles if not
thousands of Miracles took place
um at the splitting of the sea I I
suggest you you learn more about it
but we're going to talk about one
particular aspect
what was ISRO thinking this is the
thought all along the clear car is
telling us the psychological
processes that Israel was going through
based on those narratives between verse
1 and verse 6 between ISRO herd and ISRO
came what motivated him out of
everything that he heard which he heard
everything what motivated him to come
[Music]
that Moses had sent her away basically
fully Divorced with the get of release
he had released her from the marriage
now this is not the clear making it up
it's in the medrish and khazal the
rabbis explaining gomorrah's Sanhedrin
now I'm only going to read the first uh
six five words and I'll leave the next
three words for in a second
kosha
I'm sure many of us have heard this we
try to match up our single friends and
even ourselves may have had some
difficulties finding our zivu our pair
our match nevertheless the statement
says that it's very difficult it's as
difficult as splitting the sea now I
always had a problem with the statement
because God split the sea not us and it
was not difficult at all
on the other hand if you're saying like
we're putting the sugar together we're
trying to make the match
well if you're going to tell me it's
like as difficult as splitting the sea
for us human beings it's not difficult
it's impossible
and you're going to tell so what's the
point of trying to match our friends
that's not what it's talking about ready
[Music]
this is talking about the second match
and if you're not with your seatbelt on
right it's not your second marriage it's
your second marriage to your first wife
okay my hat just flew off
a meaning it's actually a Mitzvah it is
it is a Mitzvah it's it's as long as
your wife has not remarried someone else
and you can try if there's abilities to
make up and reunite the marriage it's
actually amidstv all it's only within
the Realms of possibilities if it's not
possible
uh start fresh anyway
that this idea that it's as diff it's as
difficult as splitting the sea
putting people together it's talking
about putting who together
you with your divorced wife
yeah now you understand
now this is what was going on in isro's
mind
y this second match
[Music]
this is the return this is taking back
your divorced wife
lefisha Peru
because what happens is there's a
separation in that marriage
and then there's a reunification
it's Dominic
unbelievable it's like the splitting of
the sea and putting the sea back
together again
now you think it's so simple putting I
mean there was a wall of water
what was in between
nothing
wait till you hear this
I'm going to tell you what was in
between a whole bunch of hydrogen
separated from the oxygen
that's what was in between Listen to
listen to his words
see at first when the water was level it
didn't split yet
the water was connected in a most
natural way which is H2O one element of
hydrogen two elements of oxygen
H2 sorry the other way around two
elements of hydrogen and one element of
oxygen H2O
now one here well listen to this because
that when there was this wind
perhaps a wind of either jealousy or
wrath that Hashem caused to go over this
water
Hashem placed space between the
molecules the devaki means that which is
connected
I think it really means on the molecular
level he put a space between that which
is normally naturally connected
and that's even more difficult I spoke
to a scientist today he told me you're
right to put back together the hydrogen
the two parts hydrogen the one part
oxygen is certainly more difficult than
separating them
nevertheless what did Israel understand
the word raw to see
truth is even the word shmush my Israel
to here doesn't mean to hear it means to
listen it means to understand though
Israel
here even though he saw meaning he
understood
that just as God wanted to bring
together at least in terms of the water
and now he's comparing it to the match
between Moses and sipporah
that just as God wanted to bring the
water back together
Allah
that the water actually
combined well it was really nice
we're going to see later on in chapter
14 27 meaning late another few minutes
that God brought the water back so
nicely so
based on that yistro said to himself
Israel you know what maybe I'll bring
that verse in now
you'll find this on page five number
eleven
so it says that Moses stretched out his
hand it's Chapter 14 verse 27 in Exodus
Moses stretched out his hand over the
sea toward the morning the sea returned
to its strength
hayam life I'm sorry the yahsha of hayam
lifnosburg
the sea returned
in the morning to its strength atano
like when you normally have a physical
object that drops or breaks and you glue
it you weld it whatever it is you try to
put it back together there's always a
crack you can see the crack
it doesn't look nice I mean you can
cover it up you can sand it down you can
do whatever it wants but you know it was
there there was a damage and it was
cracked but this water what happens when
you separate the water and the water
comes back together there's no crack
there's no crack you would never have
known that it was split
there's no
um
you know impression on the water that it
was split it's finished it's fixed so
too when you take your wife back who you
had divorced
well let's go back into the clear car
because I jumped ahead what was y ISRO
thinking of ISRO very important verse in
mishlay you'll find this
um in number nine it's Proverbs 27 19.
it says in English as water
face answers to face now I don't think
the English does it any good
so is the heart of man to a man
the Hebrew starts out with the word
about water kimayim just as water
face to face the water itself split and
was like one wall here one were there
I'm not so sure that's really what
happened it split those those molecules
we're going to split and we're facing
each other
just as water so too can lay the Adam Le
Adam
like a human being you know what a man
and a woman really are
they're really one flesh they're really
one being they even perhaps had they the
same soul and was split just like what
happened at at the creation Adam Adam
then became Adam and Eve in other words
Adam was not a man and then a woman came
from him
Adam was mankind Adam was a like a
Siamese twin he had a male and a female
and God split them
and now their job is to come back
together okay sounds strange but that's
really what's happening between male and
female we're going to see soon
we all every male has a female part and
every male has every female has a female
part like my people say get in touch
with your feminine self I say I do like
I have a wife or Hashem right get in
touch with your feminine self
so I think that's what this verse is
telling you kamayan panim lapanim just
as the water itself even though let's
say it really is talking about a
reflection you look into the water and
you see yourself so too is the heart of
man to man that could be a simple level
but it's very deep here the very fact
Kim I am
we're talking about water so he neroy
Israel what did yogisro understand
that after he sent her away
the Moses excused her released her
through this divorce process
you know what became totally unraveled
became nullified the union that they
originally had
and any kind of natural connection they
actually had
you know go back to Genesis chapter 2
verse 23
you'll find this in number 10 on the
source sheet
um
you know when God brought her to him man
said this time it is the bone of my
bones Flesh of My Flesh
this one shall be called Isha the same
root Isha because of this one was taken
from the ish
foreign
that she came from him meaning that the
entity that existed they were one and
now they're going to come back together
so here listen to what Israel was
thinking
what did he think originally he thought
you know what
it would be impossible that they would
ever get together again to live in peace
and harmony
like they originally did
point in bringing her ah but after he
heard about the yamsuf coming back
together and all its strength
cashier
Chris yamsuf after he heard about the
splitting of the sea and coming back
together and all its strength
am Chevrolet
that's where we go to that verse in
chapter 14 verse 27.
that after he heard the whole idea of
the yamsuf after the they they were
separated
and they return to even greater strength
like as if they were never separated at
all
ozra so he thought there was no point
but after he saw the empties of course
there's a point
as roshish Tikvah he saw there was hope
less
towards this recoupling
that it could it could it there's no
reason it shouldn't it could end very
well
just as it was totally possible by the
splitting and a sin and coming back
together without any cracks
so too it's certainly possible to put
this couple back together again
therefore according to his last opinion
rebbe Eliezer this is the reason why he
took sipura with him back to Moshe
and the clear card says
this is a great explanation it's a very
precious explanation he usually ends
some paragraphs like that which is very
nice so what do we see
again there were three uh major opinions
I just want to make sure they're clear
the war with Amma Lake was ribi Joshua
so that was more like self-preservation
but the narrative says he took his wife
and of course children so there would be
a remembrance of the kindness perhaps
the kindness of bringing uh
um to pour it back to him but because of
the future Wars against the Malik there
would be some kind of protexia Eliezer
homo Dai spoke about the Revelation that
Sinai being that you're supposed to be
separated from your wife even though
Moses had a reason to be separated
intimately but that's not a reason to be
lonely and without companionship and
without the real Beauty the real beauty
of who a person is is through that
communion with his I'm going to say her
his or her better half that's the ferris
that is like the beauty of the person
and the last opinion we just read was
the splitting of the sea again why he
took sipura with him was because he felt
that this was a good thing for her a
good thing for him again this does not
relate at all to the mass major
transformation that Israel went through
in becoming either a full-fledged gear
convert to Judaism or even a Benoit that
you're going to have to look into
the the searcher's guide to the universe
the truth the truth searcher's Guide to
the universe which is down below and I
hope you enjoy it and I can just wish
everyone not just a good Shabbos but
also a great life
God bless you all
