Your Name is Yaacov but No Longer Shall Your Name be Yaacov with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] anybody [Music] welcome home to Torah a very warm welcome we're in parashat the islach as everyone knows we use the clear car as the basis for our discussion and in the link below you will find all right I think this is upside down right here you go you'll find the Black and White Version and I implore you let's learn some Hebrew together so to follow along all you need to do is find the link and then find the year and then find the Parsha and follow along with the source sheet also it's the end of the year Hanukkah is coming up it's the end of the Civil year and we do a end of the year fundraising drive and we have a lot of activities coming up with different tested organizations that we're involved with and people that we're trying to help and we're starting at baconesset so vizrant Hashem you'll hear the news and those who want to join us and um it's a big it's a big thing so anybody who can help us and once the Mithra of giving seducted to the right place you know where to go the link is below in the description box okay so we're going to deal with one verse and one verse only and that is chapter 35 of Genesis verse 10. it begins by telling us that God himself names yaakov now he says his name is yaakov he starts off by saying your name is yaakov which is going to play a very important part in our discussion because in the same breath so to speak in the same verse it says your name shall no longer be called yaakov I want you to make sure this registers in your mind the words are your name is yaakov by God himself and then in the same breath so to speak your name shall no longer be called yaakov I want to just take you back in history a little bit because we're in chapter 35. first of all who named him Yakov to begin with there is an opinion 26 we know that yaakov grasped the heel of his brother Asaf who came out first and it says and he called his name asav the yikra shimoyakov so it's masculine for sure he called him yaakov however we don't know if it was Yitzhak or Hashem look what Rashi says over there it says the eucharest he called his name yaakov shame the Holy One blessed me he said you have given a name to your firstborn that means God's saying to yah to Yitzhak you already named ASAP you were the one who named asav afanie shame I too will give the name of my firstborn right that's who's my firstborn hashem's first born as Jewish people and he calls him yaakov so this according to uh to Rashi the first opinion by the way Rashi brings another opinion that it was his father who called him yako because he was grasping the heel this is just background information just wanted to mention that as we mentioned in verse chapter 35 verse 10 it was God is blessing yaakov sorry and he's also changing his name okay actually if you go back to verse 9. if you read verse 9 of chapter 35 I think it's instrumental because it says and God appear to Yakov again when he came to pot and Aram and he blessed him keep this in mind God blesses yaakov and yah and God changes his name but who originally gave his name according to Rashi was God himself and yet in our verse in our chapter God is now changing his name or is he not he's adding a name is he not and what does it mean that you're no longer shall be called yaakov we see by Abraham when Abraham's name was changed it doesn't say your name is avram and now I'm going to change it I mentioned that was very key the very fact that God says your name is yaakov not once maybe even not twice but it was God himself who named him and God calls him yaakov and not only that if you read the rest of chapter 35 you'd read The Narrative he's called yaakov over and over and over again that's just in chapter 35 forget about the rest of Tanakh so we we are faced with a dilemma when it comes to avram we actually find that it might be a violation of the Torah we'll see a Gamora it may be a violation of a positive Mitzvah by not calling avraham by his new name and or it may be a violation of a negative commandment if one goes ahead and calls him avram because God says you know your name you shall no longer be called avram so we're in a real dilemma how is it that when it comes to yaakov that we continuously not just we Hashem himself and the rest of the Torah use the name yaakov I hope that we are dishing this out quite clearly now if you go back to chapter 32 verse 27 and 28 . you'll see over there the the I want you I want you to see the Rashi but this is the instance where yaakov is wrestling with the angel the angel yaakov actually wants to be blessed by the angel and it doesn't seem at that moment that the Angel's ready to bless him and the angel like says what is your name and yaakov answers of course yaakov and the angel said no longer will it be said that your name is yaakov but Israel for you have striven with the Divine and with men and you've overcome what is actually the word yaakov mean so we saw narashi originally when he was named it had a um a connotation where he was holding on to the heel of Asaf however the word yaakov is also based on a word of Deceit I want you to see Russia on 29 no longer will it be said that your name is yaakov this is in chapter 32 where he's having the conversation with the angel and that the blessings come to you through that the blessings had come to you through treachery this is the way ASAP looks at it this is the angel of Asa by the way that he is wrestling with and the idea that the word the word is Treacher deceit but now your name is going to be changed to Israel which is a language of authority even Sarah which we we know is the the name of our foremother she's a princess and today in the Israeli knesset a minister is called a Tsar right and minister of authority and Russia continues to say so originally your name was at least we were talking about the discussion with the angel that all these seeming blessings that you have came through treachery but now you're crossing a point where everything is through Authority and perhaps we'll say earned on a certain level but it's in full view that was the point the giloy punim and that's going to happen that's going to be your destiny your destiny will be that the Holy One Blessed Be he will be revealed to you who reveal himself to you in Bates L and change your name which is our verse and our chapter 35. and there he will bless you and I may we're talking about the uh the minister the administering Angel over Asaf will concede to you with regard to them okay that's really what it means when it says that he ruled over an angel and he triumphed because the angel was giving in to this concept of the Israelis Israel's of authority and here we go now we're going to go into um the Clear Car Oh but before we do I wanted to mention I listened to a beautiful shior by Rabbi gladstein and he just mentioned a few quick points about the name yaakov we already know that it has to do with perhaps deceit uh stealthily acting in a certain way but the ramban famously explains the word Yakov is a name for the Jewish people while we're in galut while we're in Exile whereas Israel is a name that is more keen a shaykh in relation to our Redemption um and I guess you could see that through that Rashi itself where the yaakov is inferred you've got you've gotten your riches through trickery and Israel means revealed and actually quite miraculously above nature so that's actually the gross usage of of an expression that yaakov is more in this world and therefore it's nature and the Miracles that we experience pale in comparison to those which are related to Israel so they're called Small Miracles whereas Israel we're going to relate to bigger Miracles and this is all key I'm laying a foundation for the discussion we're going to see a nuclear car and what we will also see in Gamora brachos it mentions that yaakov is just secondary that's why it's not forbidden to use that name in fact God uses that name but we're it's kind of secondary and therefore what it's going to relate to is the original Exodus and perhaps the four Exiles of this world but Israel will be more shyak to the Future redemption or the Final Redemption from ASAP itself see we're in this long 2000 year Exile of Asaf of Edam and the Israel will Triumph in the end and get and be released and redeemed from this horrible dark long Exile that we're in uh just to keep along these ideas Israel is a higher level for you Israel when we're doing God's will when we're doing the right thing uh working on our character traits and doing the mitzvos so then we're called the Israel when we're on a lower level we're called yaakov however that's in relation to ourselves whether we're in the level of the madrega of Israel or the madrigo vyakov but ever whenever it's in relation to the non-jews even yaakov is a higher level uh than the non-jews just keep that in mind so when mashiach actually eventually comes with Hashem soon that will be as a result of us being on the highest level by the way the name Israel actually encompasses all of jury meaning the the roots of where we came from the name Israel as we know yud Shin Reish the yud stands for yaakov the shin is for Sarah the races for racho and Rifka the avraham the moment for Leia all-inclusive the paneshua of course we all know that there are 600 letters in the Torah and the word Israel the peninsula brings down is yaishi shinribo osios Vitara there are 600 000 letters in the Torah that's the acronym Israel by the way converts have actually asked me so if every Jew has a letter in the Torah where am I so it's very interesting it's brought down in many places that the tagim that the little crowns and I mean I feel like crying the crowns of the letters are the the converts Souls attached to the letters very interesting um when we were Afflicted in Egypt and God saw us he says now I know and I hear you and I see you so this idea of Israel the good shin and the race refers to yadiya shamia and Riya that these three attributes are and the last words last two letters is alif lamid so Israel is God's knowing his hearing and he's seeing kale this is God God's experience with the Jewish people by the way the Spiros there's 10 spheroes and if you take the first letter of each of the spirits and the acronym the the acronym of all the Spiros according to the schlaw the way he writes it out is equal to the name Israel gamachia 541 um well there's a whole lot of very good stuff here I want to get into the sheer but there is one more very um important point because Israel is like Lee Roche to me is the head we are the responsible clergy let's say of the world but the head is where the real life force is and that means life itself so God is saying you the Jewish people you are alive and you have a lot to give and keeping that in mind it's not just Lee Roche the head where the life force is but Roche means the first to me you are the first so we're about to approach Hanukkah I know we're going to get on with this year but this is like the last important point before we begin this year and that is Hanukkah at the inauguration the rededication of the second temple we could have used impure oil but we chose to use because we found it we waited to find it we found it by Miracle a small container of pure oil which wasn't necessary but because who we are this is very important that we went out of our way to make sure to use the best because we are hashem's firstborn right all of humanity are the sons of God but there is a firstborn and the firstborn goes out of its way to do what is first and what is best and therefore what we did was we inaugurated we inaugurated the second temple with the best because Lee Roche to me you are the head you are the the cream of the crop so to speak um okay so let's now get on with it all right so we're going to start with the first verse that's again chapter 35 verse 10. the clear card Begins by saying from the very fact that it says your name is these are God's own words your name is yaakov it's mashma if you're here if you want to follow with the Hebrew sheets okay it's marshmallow shame yaakov yisha air dimakomo the low care that what's going to happen it is inferred from this plastic from this verse that the very name of yaakov will remain in its place and will not be removed now afterwards at the same breath in the same verse your name will no longer be called Jacob or rather the verse is absolutely coming to tell us it's obviously not uprooted because first of all you see it throughout Tanakh but rather eleta fell but it would become secondary means secondary and in Gamora brajos you'll find on the source sheet number two 13A I have it highlighted at the bottom on a similar note I know this was referring to um uh the pre the previous Gamora I don't want to go too much into it but it was basically talking about that the uh the future Redemption will be primary and The Exodus whatever redemptions we had in the past are considered secondary in other words the total will still apply in the future we'll still have uh what we call pesach and everything surrounding pesach but what are we going to be talking about we're not going to be talking about the leaving of Egypt anymore we're going to be talking about leaving America and Germany and Brazil and Canada sure it's too cold there anyway but anyway we're gonna all we're really gonna be speaking about the actual Redemption that happens at that time and the past will pale in comparison so this is exactly what the Gomorrah is going to relate the name yaakov and Israel too so I have it underlined on a similar note you say the meaning of the Expressions it will not say and they will no longer mention are not absolutely in the verse see in Genesis 35 10 your name shall no longer be called yaaka but rather Israel will be your name this too the meaning is not that the name yaco will be entirely uprooted from its place but the name Israel will be the primary name to which the name yaakov which the name yaakov will only be considered secondary as the Torah continues to refer to yaakov after this event now it also mentions that the ultimate Redemption will overshadow the previous redemption in the verse in Isaiah 43 18 do not remember the former events and do not Ponder things of old so these are two things that you're not going to remember or think about and the gomor explains that the do not remember the former events part the first part of the verse that's regarding the four kingdoms that we were in Exile and do not Ponder things of old that means the referring to the Exodus The Exodus of Egypt but rather what we're going to be talking about is that present Redemption that will happen any day now israth Hashem back into the Clear Car we're three lines down from the top two lines from the end when it comes to Abraham himself the rabbis teach us in the same Gomorrah by the way if you want to see it it's number two on the swooshi and number three on the sourishing also with regard to Abraham's name so there's a bar capara who taught that anyone who calls anybody who calls Abraham not by the name Abraham but by the name avram transgresses a positive Mitzvah because the Torah says to do something and your name will be called avraham okay so that would be a positive Mitzvah to call him such where is rebelie azer holds it if you call as we know avram but you call him avram then you're transgressing a negative Mitzvah because the Torah actually says your name shall no longer be called avram so and that's because the truth is we're going to see it in the clear car God made him the father of many nations Adam ASAP Ishmael all the Christians all of the Muslims not only that you think about Far East you know avram had another wife some say it was a remarriage to khagar through Katara and he had six Sons that he sent to the east with gifts and around that time in historically speaking is when Hinduism and Buddhism developed to its uh in beginnings and yep so really avram is the father of all the great uh thought processes out there okay so let's go back into the Clear Car he just mentioned call that clearly Abram of ram Oliver below God forbid transgresses a negative command high no time what's the reason why meaning that we're referring to avram uh not as avram anymore the fischilo Neymar ezlo because the Torah itself doesn't say your name is avram right it does say your name is yaakov so we're not violating there's no violation by calling Israel by the name of yaakov okay so now we're going to go a little deeper into some mystical ideas the Allah remix from the aspect of in hint there is place for the car to bring to explain the two names Israel nyakov by way of two redemptions two types of I'm going to say two types of redemptions and I'll start just by giving you a little bit of a background a physical Redemption and a spiritual Redemption so the Clean Car continues since we actually find in the gemara it's actually in the same Gomorrah but it's page 12b you'll find this number four where we're not going to get rid of the leaving of Egypt the remembrance of the leaving of Egypt in in its entirely just keep in mind the mishnah actually mentions that we're going to say the third paragraph in the Shema at night you wonder why because the main idea in the third paragraph is stitches and since we're not obligated to where it sits us at night the question is why is that paragraph there and the truth is it mentions the leading of Egypt and we should think about Mr Gomorrah will mention leaving of Egypt all day long I want to tell you a very bit important soad in my own life and I think that this Supply to everybody we all go through our own Egypt we all go through our own mits Ryan tight constricted hard to leave places whether it's addiction whether it's a bad character whatever it is believe me we all experience when our own level and the secret the secret to a good life a happy life is all the wisdom that the Jewish people have in leaving bondage and how they experienced it yeah write it down write it down the key to recovery the key to good me dose why do you think we count right the 50 the 49 ways out of um the Omer out of leaving Egypt there's a link below you can look at the 48 ways to wisdom and how they relate to each one how you to acquire wisdom as it says in perkiavos chapter 6 mission of six there are 48 ways to acquire wisdom we could use some wisdom to maneuver our way through life right the this world was not created as Healthcare as aimless aimlessly traversing through the different Paths of Life got right for 42 years 40 years we were in the desert we weren't wandering aimlessly we were taught through the Revelation the truth about happiness about life about how to work on your character about the true meaning of life itself so the beginnings were the leaving of Egypt right there's no you're not going to find you're going to be blinded you're gonna like Avail is over your eyes if if you're in darkness Egypt represents impurity and darkness and the first thing we have to do is pray right you should be broken right if you're in the position of being in Egypt you're broken and pray to Hashem to redeem you from the darkness and from that point on Des rat Hashem with with the light of Torah which the word Torah actually means light orah okay with the light the instruction manual for Life the Torah is the instruction manual for life God says choose life a place before you I place before you life and death blessing and a curse what are you going to choose I'm telling you choose life okay let's go on with the uh um I mentioned in Broncos 12b at the end of the mission of benzoma derived as it is stated that you remember you that you may remember the day that you went out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life why is that so important I hope I got that point across the days of your life that should be daytime because it says days however the addition of the word all thus says all the days of your life so that adds nights as well now that's benzoma the rabbis say no it's not referring to the day night it's referring to this world and the world to come meaning the days of your life they refer to the days in this world the fact that it says the word Koh adds something and includes the days of mashiach even when meshiach comes we are still going to Remember The Exodus of Egypt because it's the foundation of life okay it's part of our life experience now the fundamental dispute between benzona and the hamim that appear in the mishnah and the brightest Isis continuation disputing the position of the sages that all the days of your life refer to both this world and the days of the meshiach and it was taught by Ben zoma said to the sages well and is The Exodus from Egypt mentioned in the days of the mashiach are we really going to be talking about that isn't that the whole discussion it's going to be secondary we're not really going to be referring to the leaving of Egypt when mashiach comes in Jeremiah where is in Jeremiah chapter 23 verses 7 through 8. behold the days are coming says the Lord that they will no longer say the Lord who lives who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt but rather as the Lord Lives who brought up and led the the seed of the House of Israel out of America and and the North Country Canada and and Moscow and from Germany and Russia and all that and thank God right we see it in our ver we see it with our very eyes can you imagine that if there was no war in Ukraine and Russia those Jews would still be there I mean listen it hurts right that such Devastation is happening but it was definitely a wake-up call and an opportunity for many Jews to get out before um the slaughter really started anyway so we see this with our own very eyes so the sages rejected this claim they said to benzoma these verses do not mean that the future Exodus will be uprooted from his place but rather it will only be the subjugation of the kingdoms will be primary and The Exodus from Egypt will be secondary meaning the future Redemption out of Adam the the gullus the Exile the wind right now will be the prime thing we'll be talking about as we seem to be talking about it right now and forever more okay so let's go back into the Clear Car and then he says like this is meaning low the the exit of Egypt will not be uprooted entirely it'll still be discussed but what will be secondary the Miracles this is a assumption the Miracles that took place in uh the leaving age of Egypt are considered um secondary screw it and it seems right right and therefore what the Miracles will be talking about are the Miracles that are happening in the future Redemption the zikro Nissim that dimension of the Miracles that are happening in the future would be prime so too it says here loshia care of the god right that the name yaakov would not be uproot entirely ele it's just a secondary name the shame Israel ikar and the name Israel will be primary if that's the case name if that's true then both of them are really two sides of the same coin they're really both talking about the same idea meaning Redemption they're both Redemptive I want you to pay attention to this verse and look at the Hebrew carefully it's in Isaiah chapter 40 verse 4. every Valley shall be raised and every mountain and every Hill shall be lowered so far so good however wait till you hear this remember the word Jacob yaakov is a bit a bit of a deception and crookedness so it's referring to the Crooked terrain will be made straight let me sure as a plane is a straight easy to maneuver area as opposed to a crooked area okay this is very very interesting because both names um a Cove the root the the let's just use the root of that word is definitely yaakov and the word me sure which means to be straight and that's what yashar ale that's what Israel means straightness so here we have a a hint with the future Redemption that the the Crooked will become straight so as the clear car says akov nigzar minsham yaakov the word crookedness is like the same word as yaakov and the word me sure is nigzar min shame Israel it's derived from the root of Israel what is it about Jews Jews are ambassadors of God right SAR ale we are the God's representation on the earth we are his ambassadors but also you are sorry I mean straight to God we do not use any intermediaries as opposed to the other nations of the world who don't who don't really truly understand what it means that there's one God okay so they believe in multiple Powers but we go straight to God we don't even use any intermediaries in other words even if we believe that there's a one God head that if we if we Jews would use the intermediaries to get to that one God that for us is Idle worship so Mike Locus whether that is true by non-jews but I'm sure non-joon's listening would like to do the right thing and give up there intermediaries anyway so it goes on it says in chapter 7 verse 15 you'll find that number six page three as in the days of your Exodus from the land of Egypt I will show him wonders which implies what we said maybe there'll be greater Miracles happening in the future but here it implies he'll be maybe equal just like there was fantastic Miracles happening and when we left Egypt so too there'll be some fantastic Miracles happening at the time of the Final Redemption as the Hebrew says now the clear card says what is this version for what do we hear from the verse maybe they're not going to be really much greater than what happened in Egyptian if that's the case then why would what happened in the past be secondary I understand if the Miracles of the future Redemption are really greater than what happened in Egypt then the whole retelling of the Egyptian Exile and Redemption would be secondary but if they're the same why is why are you putting Egypt on a back burner so he says Ella La fisha the Gula shall meets Rahim lawyers hutam must speak this is a very very interesting idea since the Redemption from Egypt we did not have the script we did not really have the Merit this was a promise that God gave Abraham Isaac and Jacob and we were redeemed because God remembered the Covenant we didn't really earn it we were Idol worshipers while we were in Egypt the four-fifths of us that died they write a worshipers as well but they didn't want to leave urashi says over there they didn't want to leave he didn't say they were right of worshipers and the ones who left weren't we were all light of worshipers we didn't really have the Merit to leave Egypt but in the future we will that's going to be the difference listen to this again Ella lafe speak they didn't have enough Merit to uh to be to Merit lahut siama because of their own righteous actions it is true it's brought down in the Merit of keeping our language keeping our names uh not these are things we didn't do we didn't intermarry and we didn't speak Russian Hara but is that really the scoot to is that really the Merit to be redeemed because you didn't do something um so therefore not only that we use ready for this similar language that Rashi used what yaakov means we use deceit and trickery to get out what did we say we're just going to go away for three days and worship Our God in the desert just three days right I mean that's not like holding your held up head held up high saying I deserve to be redeemed it was a little bit of a trickery and deceits and that's how it happened when we left Egypt neligena we requested let us go and serve our God in the desert for a few days the Kobe Lake not only that we ran out we fled and we did it quickly right when ayad Rama is like you know walking out with your head up and and going slowly now I know that there is an opinion and I I profess it I speak about it it is true that the Jewish people who left in the middle of the night in A hurried way that was the air of Wrath that was the uh the The Six Million actually it was um quite a lot maybe 15 million there was quite a lot of air RAF there was twice the amount of them that was with us they left in the middle of the night running away because they had an opportunity it was Israel that left in the day the next morning with their heads held up tight but this is in relationship um to ourselves in other words listen to these words we went out in a trickery fashion and therefore we went in harried fashion as look in chapter 12 of Exodus verse 11. and this is how you shall eat it right we eat the pesach quite quickly right we need to pesach we eat the matzo quite quickly your loins girded your shoes on your feet your staff in your hand and you shall eat it in haste so quickly the time that's how we we eat the pesach okay so there is this idea that you can't get around it the ghoula's bothellisa ghoulash even the Exile that we've left from Babylon we also left in the quick and harried fashion look at Isaiah chapter 48 verse 20. number eight leave Babylon flee the Chaldeans so there was also from the other Exiles the past Exiles in A hurried fashion so it was just God remembering us and taking us out but that was not the Final Redemption also as I just mentioned in Isaiah chapter 48 20 I'll just read the Hebrews um but when it comes to the final redemptiona which we hope and pray comes very soon you know what's going to happen it's only after the call it's only after we have become entirely purified means emptied of any sin of all of our sins because of this long harsh strong Exile of Eden that we've been in that we are because of our suffering and we and hopefully because of our working with our character that we have been expunged of any negativity speaks that enough because of the suffering and the cleansing process that should be enough to give us the Merit where we will walk out knowingly not in the hairy fashion but with her head sound head held up high demisure in a straight fashion not in a crooked way not in a deceitful or crooked way but in a in a a slow held up high fashion like it says in Isaiah chapter 52 verse 12. for not with haste number nine on number three uh for not with hey shall you go forth and not in a flurry a fight flight shall you go the Final Redemption I'm telling my brothers in America Now's the Time while you have the money in your bank account cash it in for gold whatever it is come to Earth Israel what are you waiting for you may not make it right because those who are going to leave are not going to leave with haste nor in a flurry of flight that's what the verse says who um and that's now what we mean now we understood what we said earlier in the verse in Isaiah chapter 40 verse 4. that um that the the the Crooked paths and The Valleys everything will become straight but keep this in mind the name of yaakov is not um expunged entirely it's still used so true the leaving of Egypt is not entirely forgotten about either and now here's the reason kadesha you screw stay we should actually remember Egypt and Purim Egypt and Hanukkah Egypt and the future Redemption all of these we should be cognizant of viedu the akiru we should know and we should recognize the difference between them okay there actually was as I mentioned when we were in Egypt we were Idol worshipers that was sin fake I want you to look at your Hesco you'll find this on the last page there's no question that we were out of worshipers while we were still in Egypt that's chapter 20 verse 8 of Ezekiel but they rebelled against me and they would not consent to hearken me he's talking to the Contemporary people but he's referring back to Egypt they did not Cast Away every man the Despicable Idols from Before Their Eyes neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt and I said to put my wrath over them to give my anger full Reign Over them in the midst of the land of Egypt we were and look here look at Rashi on that they are the Wicked the majority of Israel right four-fifths of the Jews died in Israel during the ninth plague why was it during the ninth plague the plague of Darkness because God did not want us to have the Egyptian sea can you imagine we're talking about millions of Jews lying there just in three days of darkness when it become light so basically it happened so they couldn't see and they were buried with the ground and swallowed them up but whatever it was there was no way that the Egyptians would be able to see because you know what if they saw the Jews millions of Jews died they would say so what's the big deal there's no God like on your side like they wouldn't take sides they wouldn't even try to think that it was God because the Jews the chosen ones were killed what's the difference we're killed they're killed the whole thing doesn't make sense so God made sure that when the fourth fists of the Jews died it was during the plague of Darkness so the Egyptians could not see and as you'll see and and the children of Israel went out of Egypt it says literally they translated as they went up armed hamush right you go to a you go to a store they ask you are you khamosh so I whipped out my commission I say yeah I got my hummus because this is the Armament of the Jewish people this is our weapons of war so there's no question that the interesting because there's really seven books of the Torah not five right in the numbers in Deuteronomy in numbers in numbers is right above mid bar so you have two inverted upside down nuns and it's told to us there are actually seven books because you have Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers is made up of three books there's whatever is before the first nun that inverted upside down none then you have two verses right the HEB and Sarah when the Aaron moved so those two verses and then there's another upside down inverting nun so that's a book in itself and then everything after the second nun is a third book in The Book of Numbers so you have all together three books numbers three books and then you have Deuteronomy so it's easy to count you have seven books okay and even the word weapon in Hebrew is called clezion called clay Zion which again that is the weapons of war please signs your weapons of the Lord so even though the word hamesh is related which means armed so we're on the very last few lines here in the clear card we just got done saying that yes unfortunately we were underwear for strippers while we were in Egypt I share me said remember that is enough reason that would become second considered secondary that we got redeemed not because we earned it but in the future Redemption we were really purified now again we earned it we earned it through suffering or hopefully we earned it through our own working on our character and get rid of the idols Cain shame yacht the Khan shame yaakov Lona carligamre mizetam I think it's so too the name of yaakov is not uprooted entirely for this very reason and not only that ready for this this is like drum roll please when I asked for drum roll we get a drum roll guys drum roll there you go Road when we add are actually redeemed there's two types there's two aspects there's two levels of this Redemption is going to be a physical Redemption from uh slavery or from all types of harsh decrees but there's also another the gulasraal there is this spiritual soul type of redemption that is given to the Jewish people of Israel exactly like we have two names we have the name yaakov we have the name Israel one is a physical nature we said let's say on a lower level as we began in the introduction and the second is of a more spiritual a higher level higher madrega a spiritual nature and that would be Israel like it's brought down in Robina bahaya he says like this even though the main principles were really Spiritual Beings experiencing a physical life right we're not physical beings experiencing a spiritual life we're really spiritual or ikar the ikar is the Israel the ikar is the spiritual aspect of Who We Are so even though the spiritual is the main the prime the coma comb shame yaakov low yayake nevertheless we are physical beings right don't forget so it's it's secondary it's not uprooted entirely a person needs to be well balanced let me say we have to understand that we are Spiritual Beings in a physical world remember we said about the name avram should never be used again except you're allowed to say I run when you're reading the Torah you're reading the Parsha or portions that are referring to avram before his name which changed you're allowed to effect you're supposed to read it exactly as written but the name of avram is entirely uprooted because really in truth is all generations the whole world is filled with people who are the said spiritual descendants right as the song goes something about the okay I won't say it behold he is the father of the masses hmael so too let the encampments the tents of Ishmael and um and Adam as well as all those that came out from avraham such as the the Eastern religions and whatnot so what is it really we should really hopefully grasp the idea of and live up to the name Israel and for those who are that they know who are watching that they come to believe in the god of Israel the god of the Jewish people and attach themselves rather through full conversion on some level which is not as sought after or at least as a righteous not hide who believes in the not just the god of Israel but the Torah of Israel and attaches themselves to the Jewish people and bisrat Hashem will see you all in Eric's Israel real soon and I want to wish everyone a not just a good Shabbos but a good life Call to [Music] you [Music]
