Ari Goldwag - Vayishlach - Following Examples

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded with a gems never-ending assistance in Roma page image Israel 5780 2019 this part shows partially schlock in the beginning of our parsha the Torah tells us about Yaakov Aveeno Jacob how he split up his encampment into two separate camps because of the danger that was coming from ace of Asaph was coming out to greet him with four hundred people and I'd like to share with you a thought from a prime Friedlander I'm sorry bhai Mishima Levites this is from C Christmas or a beautiful beautiful idea and actually it's very much connected to something that I wanted to bring across in my new video my new Hanukkah video for the song for the light and I'd like to share with you what he says and I think to show you the connection to my new video which I encourage you all to check out this piece is called shimmers tell me the Cohanim the idea of learning from the actions of Torah scholars learning from not just from what they have to say but also from their deeds says like this is surah qamar' Sanhedrin tomaron Sanhedrin brings enough Lama Testament base which 39b mihika cava do man of iam the parsec in Malakand of VAT Yoe the Prophet Obadiah so he took a hundred prophets IBM commissioned me to menorah and he plays fifty of them into one cave and it plays 50 of them into another cave national commission ich why did he do it this way why did he put 50 in each cave where mullahs are me jakob lama Blosser says that he learned this idea from Yaakov Avena from Jacob that Jacob he split his camp into two in order to protect them Ovadia was protecting them protecting his new vm but there shouldn't be killed by I have if I'm not mistaken so therefore he's put them into two groups if one of the one of the groups would be attacked Yamaha now initially Plato so then just as Yaakov in who said that the second group would still be left so - that's what a value did Marshall cause of the hot resolution Marsha is as follows Zilla Shani this is what he says meet Karl mmm Yakov Lama Nevada lasses came what is what we have to say whatever blows I have to say that how did he know he knew her from Yakov Aveeno why don't we say a mummy swear that's my avid Elfie why don't we say that he thought of this idea on his own why did he have to learn it from Jakub Aveeno hockey I'm sorry a mummy swear that smell of it off he could assure you on a shaman plate maybe he thought of this idea on his own in order to save those who would be left over why we have to say why do we have to say that he learned it from na Covino from Jacob my neighbor Gemara vedas are issa we find gomorian avodah Zarah on the hoof hammer base b25 be thorough bunnies Russians dominant Akuma darica oh cool a charlotta - highly let's say a person encounters an idolaters on the way he's afraid for his life he's afraid this person might harm him so if the person asks how far are you going Yakov lay aside X what a person should do the person should say I'm going let's see he's going 10 miles did you say I'm going 20 miles no person should say extra why what's the idea caderousse er coherence of a Russia a sub when a sieve encountered Yaakov Yaakov did a similar thing the sieve dasharatha allah dining CEO he said to him when Yaakov encountered a so so their conversation was aiso said to him why don't you I'll accompany all I'll take you on your way I'll protect you and Jakob said you know you go ahead and I'll meet you in say ear but he didn't go that far Yaakov actually disheveled NEC look see vaya con esta su casa he stopped at suitcase which is a certain location which isn't that far han I mean kahshanna la mulana lumen sighs maracas brother da versatile a basic absorption so the idea is that what's the what's the what's the reason that this is done why does your person do this in order that the person will think you know if he has any thoughts to harm you so you'll tell me going a certain distance you'll get to half the distance what you actually intend to go he'll think that he's gonna get you at the end of the of the path and then you'll you'll you know you'll be safe and we learned this from Jakob of you know but again the question is why do we need to learn this from Yaakov you know why can't a person think of this idea on their own well the hollowing save further damage says I have a yak of showing my econ s Pineda here the verse tells us that Jacob arrives city of SRAM and he encamps there i'ma be my dress the measures tells us he stole my Mead at Lisa no micro basil how the Irish audience our classic have no appreciation hanami Meno we find that there's an idea that if you live in a certain place so you need to do nice things for that place you need to benefit that place Yacouba vino gotta scram he encamped there he had a curse that though he had a sense of recognition of the good that was done to him that he was able to stay there this is obviously before the story of what happened Wadena but he wanted to express that so he set up a store that he would charge less it was like a store he was charged less for merchandise that usually cost more and then we find a showman manager save you I might say that I be shaming your hyperbolas Schnittman ooh by mario schlosser shana i believe this is actually also a Gomorrah in Shabbos kushikatsu near probative area I mean logically bazoo was a savant very another gun on la bouche memory of high so there was exactly a similar story happened where Renoir high in a son of eliezer so they were living in Terraria and they felt that they had been protected by terraria that had been inside of the cave there in Terraria Tiberias and they wanted to do something to express there are cars to talk to the place where they lived how did they know to do such a thing they learned it again from Yaakov Avena for something a Jacob did and the question is they couldn't think of this idea on their own why was it necessary again for them to learn from Yaakov Aveeno in this regard ok so let's see we'll see that there are other examples of this as well it rings a few we'll we'll see if we read all of them but I'd like to read a few more become our Isana janessa my ceremonial America mulu Shiva la liya kishke muramatsu SHM I know there is stories randomly oh he wanted to convene a best in a court and he commanded that seven people should join him there what happened was he got to the location and there were eight people who had come so there was one person who had not been asked our me who shall surely mistress Garret whoever has come up without permission so you should go down you should leave the place that's what they all said how much more I'll cut to me I'm er she walk out and got up even though he wasn't the one who had come out there without permission he got up and he said I knew Shirley Susheela Beatrice I was the one and he went out he didn't want to embarrass the person would come up there without permission okay jihadi us is ready the Kurdish hey RAF we have shown a similar story occurred and very interesting I mean I'm leo so I'm sorry so Shimon akhaten learned it from how how did he know this because he saw by his Rebbe there was a story with Rebbe that there was someone had come into the shear and he had a very bad smell coming from his mouth he had eaten strong garlic or me me awful sure Yeats say I wonder if he ate Vyasa so Rebbe said whoever ate the garlic step out please it's it's disturbing us so Rebbe fear who had not eaten the garlic he got up and he left I'm the cool early aughts and then everybody left the shock our mud soup remember Reb you'll already feel I really ought to who should see our table so so he said you're the one that did it somebody said to be here were you the one who had the bad smell more like low take his ice piece from you said no that's not it I left because there was somebody who would have gotten embarrassed and by me leaving everybody also left and by everybody also leaving the result was that indeed the person wasn't embarrassed okay so remember learned it from rubbing very heat so there BPM a hug um allow me really mayor and where did Ruby here I'm sorry so Shimon I cut and learned it from Rebecca and because Ruby he was the one who walked out didn't wanna embarrass somebody where did her be she learned from uniform I'm Amanda Tanya my sub you shocked I should bust the base measure miss Russia she already mayor mayor one time a certain woman came to his base Manish I'm early Rebbe can we can get shiny baby oh he's this woman said she said a very heavy thing she said that somebody here married me with marital relations I'm under the mayor because of legaia crisis una sola so really mayor himself amazing thing it wasn't clear who had done it wasn't clear who had married her this way every mayor himself got up and wrote her again wrote her a divorce document then what happened I'm the coolant customer nothing nothing like every single one of the members of that base mesh gave her a get and what was the idea because this way wouldn't embarrass the person who have been we're done this thing which was not so acceptable now he may or may her Merlot where did he learn a formula cotton he learned it from shmulik cotton like we said shmulik on was the first one who did it okay that was the story where they all went out were they all went in to judge the case and there was an extra person there which will I caught me a garlic anybody feel weird he learned from he learned it from the verse in Ezra and this person named it kind of in you feel it says there in chapter 10 verse 2 we young honey when you feel but grandma became a hey cook Gummer loomio schewe where did he learn it from if you look at the verses there you'll see the story over there you learned it from yahushua be buddies mmm i should exceed an amount and we find that moshe that all that he could not to cause embarrassment so but the idea here is very strange or difficult to understand on the surface me do me i Gemara halal the one who made the machine let him last least over me die to die now you see an amazing thing an amazing thing of powerful thing an important thing a poor important lesson that a person is not supposed to do something on their own person even though of course i could think of this idea on my own i could think of the idea to separate my the to avoid you could have thought of it on his own to separate the renuvium put 50 here 50 there each of them could have thought of this idea not to cause somebody else embarrassment on their own but it needs to be something that we saw somewhere else it needs to be something shari I'll call our church a la gomera may hate her Gummer law about each one the Gemara said where did he know it from well i my name are also kami source ask me one it say that he did it from his own he did it on his own thought ID on his own locker the masses the hermidas SATs my we see person should not do things on their own I mean as as mr. Koenig Adela he laughs Teresa when a person does things on ISM his own we don't know it for biased we don't know if this is the way that the tour expects of us da da da da da da da hurry so it's a great danger she an honor guard in LA and all of the games for rice if we don't know the end of things see if I have a Miss Ora if I do it because my Rebbe did it and my reverie did it because his Rebbe did it and his revery did it because he saw that that was what was done in the Taira and they did it in the turn because that's what they saw it done by yoshua back to Moshe man to Moses so then we have a mister we know that this is the correct thing Moshe Robin was somebody who had divine inspiration the things that he did were based on real Hakodesh based on direct instructions from a sham so we want to make sure that our will is aligned with Hashem school because we want to make sure that what we're doing ultimately is going to produce good fruits positive fruits that things will be good in the end we can't possibly know that but we know if I could borrow who is the the one behind it if it's something that was done by by my share of aina by yahushua and by great sages whose entire lives were were completely seeped in the tyro and the dots of the Taira the will of god so then we know that what we're doing is correct volcana Phil Oakey Donna Hamish Watanabe mayor here even these great sages from all cotton really may heal I also allow people in will be my sera they only did it because they saw that the Rebbe had done it I shall hurry up show the lamb dumb miss far even though it's just something that could have been learned miss fara okay so that's the basic idea and it's a very powerful idea I mean there's more here we'll see if we can get to it or not but I wanted to share with you just the thought that was connected to my video so I know if you saw the video yet but the video so in this in this story in the video which was a made-up story I made up the story the shams help so there's a young man and he'd like to purchase a menorah he'd like to get him and know a beautiful menorah his family doesn't have the nicest menorah and in the story so there's an older couple and they're reading the safer of ask I said which is about loving-kindness and actually it was really cool because here we have this couple and they're gonna do a kindness for this this young man for this for this child who wants a menorah and when I first picked up the saber Ava's has said to use it in the video was a Chicago practice they opened up to a page which said there's an obligation on adults to do class at the do kindness for children anyway that was just I always see interesting things as I'm doing videos because more who gives me a CF dish my divine assistance but why did I intentionally specifically want it that they're reading the safer then they're not just doing a kindness on their own because it's a nice thing to do they're learning to say for the the reading I've discussed sitting about the idea of kindness because you know this is the idea and this is the message and it's a very important message especially for today there's so many different opinions there's so many different isms in the world there's so many there's liberalism and there's idealisms all kinds of ideals but you know throughout the five thousand seven hundred and eighty years since the world was created there have been all kinds of different opinions about what's the best way to go it's the best way to live we had the Romans and we had the Greeks and we had the Buddhists and we had the you know I'm saying the Christians and the Muslims and we have all kinds of different theories of ways to live but there's only one way to live which is divine which was given at her seen eye and Mount Sinai in front of 1.2 million people who experienced a revelation a Kadesh well who of God in this world and it was done concurrent to him having taken out the Jewish people from Egypt an entire nation 1.2 million really probably much more than that maybe one and a half or two million people amazing miracles followed by an amazing experience at Mount Mount Sinai and to this day we keep the tire exactly precisely as it was given on rc9 by Hashem by God exactly how it was given that's how we keep it the Gemara the Talmud the sages didn't make up anything on their own everything was specifically given to Moshe Vanna was at our show my pet it was written down about 2,000 years ago fifteen hundred years ago but before that it was all there we had a very clear authentic tradition that went all the way back to Mount Sinai and so when we keep the Taira when we do what it says in the Torah we follow the dictates of the tire of the laws of the tire as they're laid out in the PI scheme we know that we are doing God's will and we know that we are following in a true Hesed if let's say we're doing the kindness because that's what it says in the safer so what it says in the in the safer I'll discuss it that's a real classic you know I might do something on my own because I think it's a nice thing to do I might do a kindness on my own because it's a nice thing to do I might get involved in saving the whales or I might get involved in you know being vegetarian or all these different kinds of ideals that we don't know maybe there may be the true ideals maybe they maybe they might be a passing ideal movie something that today it's something that's invoke the the climate the world you know I'm saying all of these things they may or may not have elyda tea I don't know I'm not an expert in those areas but what I do know is that whatever the Taira says is true and whenever the Taira says is important that's what's going to last forever that's what's going to be real that's what's going to ultimately give us a real society a true society that's that's going to give us what we're looking for in life it's going to give us satisfaction we're going to be aligned with God's will and we're going to be aligned with that which is a true a true reality okay now with that in mind so you know that's kind of what I was trying to express in the video is that these people are learning this ha ha ha or I don't know if it's the halacha that there's an obligation to do that but the idea was that we're not just doing things on our own we're doing things because we're inspired by the Taira because I could a Schmo who wants us to do these things it's not just coming from our own self that we think oh that's a nice thing to do or that's not the right thing to do the Taira is what guides our every action and that's the message here there Chaya Mushka Levitz is teaching us that the reason that we do things the reason that we you know the reason that this person went to such an extreme when it came to making sure not cause somebody embarrassment himself admitted to having done something he didn't do or himself admitted that you know I'm saying whatever it was all these situations why do we do them why does a person have to have that sensitive sensitivity because the tyrus says that that's the sensitivity that we need to have and we know that because we saw that by our teachers we saw up by their teachers Russia Shiva so Sangha zone you should be very well I hear the sheering from him every day pretty much every day listen to him of his or Rita is safer and he always talks about this is what we saw by barabar and this is what I saw Barry Byron Cutler this is what I saw by the previous generation and it's important to know he also says sometimes that this wasn't done in the previous generation an example of something that wasn't done today they come down and they don't blow out the candles after they walked down to the Hopa at a wedding ceremony right that's that wasn't done that wasn't done people would blow out the candles it's not a mitzvah to leave those candles burning that's an example it gives us something that wasn't done but it's important to know what they did to and what they didn't do it's important for us to know where we have veered from the previous generations we need to know we have to get back to what they were doing sometimes we've added stuff that's not necessary we need to know that that's not really what was done in previous generations that's important to know as well we need to know why do we do it why did Avadh you separate the camp into the new vm into two separate groups because Yaakov and he didn't just do it on his own he didn't just do it because he thought oh that's a good idea because maybe if this group gets in trouble the other group will be saved the interest think of it on his own he used the terrace as an example because whatever the Tyrus says whatever we find that the Tyrus says to be true that's something that we could take it as an example that's gonna work for us because the tire is eternal the tire was written and given 3,300 years ago are always lived 3,800 years ago between thirty seven thirty eight hundred years ago around them and we're still here this is the the tire is that which keeps us we're the only ancient nation that still exists exactly precisely as we were thirty three hundred years ago same people same mitzvos same Commandments wearing the same to fill in the same sits Asst lighting those men lying those Shabbos candles on Friday night the same people we haven't changed and we're still here because this the Taira the way that the tire lays out for us that which we do is based on the Taira and as long as we follow as long as we follow that which the Taira says we shall remain our children will remain for all time I want to bless you ask you to bless me I shown should help us to be able to recognize and to seek that which the Taira wants for us to seek the way of the Torah and that which the Taira wants from us I apologize Shem should help us to be able to recognize those things and to be able to do those things and to be able to continue to exist through up through ourselves through our children to our grandchildren and great-grandchildren until the times when Messiah comes and all the world knows the truth thank you
