Parshat Vayishlach: The True Reason behind Antisemitism - Rabbi Yisroel Perelson

[Music] so we have a very very interesting scenario in this week's partial you have this epic war between Jakob and the Malek of a sub it almost doesn't make sense how this angel is attacking Yaakov and Yaakov it says the PASOK tells us the project tells us by boss a Jakob lovato via robic ich Amoy a delicious Johann Jakob was left alone and a person an angel struggled with him otherwise a shocker until the morning by Yankee law a hollow by Gabi copier ahoy he saw that he was not able to beat him he couldn't beat Jakob so he touched he touched him back a fear a boy he touched him on his thigh and the techically Rafi October of claim I and he dislocated his his time his hip was dislocated biomechanical heart chakra by emulation like a Barack Tony he asked him he says ok let me go let me go now it's it the it's a crack of dawn I gotta go I have to get praised talk of this particle it's my turn to leave but Jakob penis says no I'm not gonna let you go he embarrassed Tony I want you to give me a blessing first so then he says by I'm a matchmaker what's your name and he told them low Yakko vehicle oh yeah Cobb you Karishma cocky miss Royale kisser it's a mellow keep a man or Simba to hog your name is no longer going to be Jakob it's going to be Israel now it's interesting who is this or a shoelace of who is this angel that belongs to a sub a subs guardian angel who is he so he's called the Samak man mm is actually I coulda swore who created the human being which is a spiritual neshama in a physical body but an angel only has a spiritual being an angel was much different and the Gemara says that an angel a Malachor is a messenger he's ash Leah that's what he's called that's that's a Moloch he has a certain leafless that he has to accomplish the Gemara master tells us that who is this Samak man who is this guy so the Gemara says this guy is the Yates are around he's the evil inclination so he's a tease the guy that causes us to do something wrong right and after he causes us to do something wrong the Gemara also says he's the one that gives us the illnesses he's the one that causes us to lose money he's the one that causes us punishment and he's the one that eventually causes us death he ends our life so you can imagine how wicked this guy is the spiritual being is I mean he's worse than Stalin he convinces you to do bad he prosecutes you on the bad that you did he punishes he punishes the individual and eventually there's death and this is the Tsar chelation this is a subs angel so we just got a little introduction about who this guy is and who Jakob was dealing with but the question is Yaakov fights with him until the morning and then Yaakov says I'm not gonna let you go until you give me a bra I just described to you how wicked this being is what in the world why would ya come ask you for a bra huh it doesn't make sense you're going to ask Abraha from Stalin you're going to ask a brown abraca from the book of nets are you going to ask a broker from the most wicked being in this world how do you ask for a bro huh what is Yaakov doing and then listen to the response what's the response of the malla the Malik tells them ok no problem I'll give you a Branca he changes his name anybody asks you to tamper with my name my name is Yaakov leave me alone I used you for Braco give me a broker what are you now changing my name for but he changes his name and Yaakov is satisfied what is going on over here what's the dialogue what's the back-and-forth so we know that this battle between Yaakov and a sub is a battle that not only was for that specific time it's a battle and it's a struggle that we struggle with it until today and we're going to continue to struggle with that battle until machine comes but what's the root cause of this battle so it's interesting they did a study they did a study in universities and they asked is there a reason for anti-semitism is there a logical reason for anti-semitism why do they why do the nations of the world hate us is there a reasoning behind us now you have to understand the Jewish nation we're nice people all we want to do is just live and let live in fact if somebody comes to convert to you this guy to Judaism we tell them no no no it's not a good idea very very difficult right the guys the guys got to have a guy shack up to try to convert to Judaism you're able to eat whatever you want to eat you're able to do whatever you want to do you have only 7 mitzvahs that you have to watch out from right but that's it you're free men don't convert and we convince people not to convert I have people that call me up many many times rabbi I want to convert I tell them it's such a lengthy process especially when people want to get married one is not Jewish one is Jewish and now they want to convert so that in itself is a tremendous issue it's a tremendous issue but even so even if a person does the right thing and wants to convert for the right purpose because he wants to get close to a college bar who still we convince that person that it's not a good idea be a good guy rather than being a mediocre Jew or bad you know Jew it doesn't keep so we do whatever we can to convince the person don't get into this so again why do they hate us we're not trying to infringe anything on anybody and not only that the only time we are or with people is just to protect ourselves that's it we're not trying to conquer people we're not interested in any of that not only that if you look at the contributions that the Jewish nation has given society throughout the ages it's so enormous in fact you have 25 percent of the Nobel prizes were won by Jews now keep in mind that we are less than a half a percent of the world so 25 percent are won by Jews and we're less than a half a percent of the world that means we're contributing whether in medicine in science in technology we're contributing to the world so much why hate the hand that has helped you why hate the hand that has fed you how does that make sense so the truth is there is no reasonable logic to why they hate us there is no reasonable logic and in fact when they brought this up to you and in the Universities there was no real logic there's no real logic but there's a spiritual reason why they hate us there's no reasonable logic but there's a spiritual reason see we understand that this Mihama this war between Yaakov and a sub with something that's going to continue on to Messiah and in order to understand it we have to go all the way back to the time that lack of an a said were born so first you have according to the house I'll tell us that first Yaakov avinu conceived Yaakov Avena was conceived and after young Covina was conceived Asaph was conceived but he was lowered down so since he was lowered down he came out first and yea Covino came out second but really who was the baqar who was the first born it was Yaakov not a sub now when a sub is born he's called a sub why because he's cool because of the name a sooie sooie means he came out complete he had his full set of hair he looked mature when he came out therefore they called them a sub from the terminology of a soui Yaakov on the other hand why is he called Yakko Yakko because he held on the okay under a kid Derek F is the ankle as ASA was coming out he was holding on on his ankle in other words to demonstrate and to protest no I'm supposed to be the first one I'm supposed to be the first born and therefore his name is Jakob but the question is as soui is with a you at the end why does a sub lose lose that yield and it's very interesting that Yaakov get gains that yield because he should have been called a cab hey keV isn't it is the ankle that's where he grabbed why Yaakov why does ace of loosely or and Yaakov gain to you so listen to something phenomenal because in a sense ace of really was supposed to be child number two but Jakob did not want to fight with a son but it belonged to Yaakov so therefore Yaakov's mission was now to go and get the bhai Rebecca what is lack of I have a mission lack of means to follow somebody Yaakov means that now his job in this world was going to be following a sub to up until he would be able to grab back what belongs to him what belonged to a sub what belong to Yakko the Blair belong to Yaakov so now he's going to have to follow a sub until he finally gets the prayer for me something so it all begins one day Asaph comes back after killing NIM Royden and ace of his old tired ace of his worn out he comes back home and Jakob Aveeno is making a lentil soup why a Brahma beena just died and this was the food of mourners asa was so hungry and he's so tired that he tells Yakko Ali Taney no mean order mother my Sam let me just drink this all up this red stuff that you have and Jakob says no problem and one condition a sub give me the be higher the bahar that is right and fully mine give it to me what does a subdues have says no problem normal is above her own right he never fearlessly mooseville Oh Melissa bhakra I'm going to die why do I need the be higher for you know in a sense what he was telling him he was telling him that I understand that this idea of being a firstborn requires tremendous amount of responsibility SIA Kodesh bar who when a Brahma vino found a varoom when he over the sudden understood monotheism that there's one god there's one a bastogne there's one I call this bar home how could this bar who appointed him that you're going to now disseminate this idea you're going to resemble godliness you're going to put godliness in this world you're going to be that king your children are going to be kings in fact that's one of the reasons that we every morning we dress up and we put a crown on our head what's the crown that we put on our head it's the filling every joob puts on tefillin on his head that's the crown I'm a son of a king and the Tallis what's the Tallis the talus is that kingly robe that a person Dawn's in the morning later a person has to go to work he takes it off yes but it's the first thing he does as he starts off the day he remembers I am the son of a king but the son of a king has a lot of responsibilities the son of a king has to talk a certain way cannot marry anybody that he wants eats only certain foods he's a these aristocratic he can't just do what he wants that's the son of a king when a sub understands this and says wait I'm the firstborn that means I'm going to have to now take this mantle of being the son of a king and having all these responsibilities I don't want it he nailed okay all the Colombo's I'm going to die I know I'm going to make mistakes I can't live up to this and therefore Valley possessed of a sub Clare Asaph says forget it take it it's yours it's yours we fast forward we fast forward to a point where gets hooked now who india trucks mind a sub is the firstborn he didn't know about this whole transaction he didn't know ace of sold of Huayra so in his mind a sub firstborn so it tells a sub-lethal I saw there but to delete I'd go to the field bring me something good to eat you know why because a sub now I'm going to bestowed this bra this mantle of kingship this concept where you're going to now carry this idea of being king and your children and your children's children I'm going to now transfer that all over to you ace of you're the one you're the firstborn rifki here's this and Rifkin knows of the deal Rifkin knows that a sub is no longer a firstborn that Yakov is the firstborn sister right away tells Yaakov go go go in there and get the Brooklyn and everybody asks hey Yaakov how do you lie how do you lie but in reality who was the one that's lying over here ace of his lying because ASA claims to be a firstborn you no longer a firstborn it doesn't belong to you this transfer of kingship is not supposed to go to you you're no longer the firstborn it's supposed to go to Jakov say Yaakov is actually telling the truth and the alcove goes in there and Jakob says I mean Ben huh Bakura huh I'm your firstborn and he ends up giving him the broca's he ends up transferring to Yaakov Aveeno you are going to be the continuation of kingship you and your children you have that responsibility what happens we all know the story a sub is about to walk in Yaakov sees him from the window and he escapes he escapes when Asaph comes in there and he says hey Dad sit up I want to get the Bravo by a rod he it's for Corrado yes hug begins to tremble and he says what do you mean I already gave the brother I gave the brachot to somebody else somebody else is not gonna be the king and a so says oh my goodness I know who does somebody else's this somebody else's yeah coid vyek veiny Zepa my and he tricked me twice what is Emmy whenever you have a Zen the toy wrong it mean it's pointing to something you know what this pointing to it's pointed to that part that original part that he made of lentils M he tricked me with the buffer over there and now Zen once again he serves let's cook with the same pot and he gets tricked twice so Yitzhak says wait a minute wait he tricked you the first time meaning to say that you sold the Bolero which means to say that in actuality when I gave the breakfast to him I did the right thing gambarro p.m. so then yes look says he should also be blessed why because your cook understands now he sees the full picture oh you gave the Bolero to yahko see I've got a sparkle to care me I didn't make a mistake and I gave that kingship over to Yaakov but we asked yes what was the dialogue between the Malafaia and Yaakov it was very interesting Jakob says I'm not letting you go give me a bra home right he says no problem I'll give you a broccoli he changes his name so we asked who is to you to change the name you know what the dialogue was a sub already with this agreed that the that he's not going to be the king so to say he's not going to be the one that will be the light onto the nation's and show the entire world how a person is supposed to act in the most spiritual form it now became Yakov's job but there was somebody at didn't agree to this Asaph had no choice a severity lost the Broca's but you know who didn't agree to this a subs mala say a subs mallet says no way I'm going to come and fight Yakko I'm not giving him that that role he's not going to have those Broca's those brothers are stamped that he's going to be the light on to the nation's no way I'm gonna take it away from him so they go and they fight and it's a very very it's a spiritual fight but it's also a physical fight but Yaakov as he holds his own and now this sound men this Malek evasive wants to escape and Jakob says no I got you down you're not going anywhere so Jakob says borrow Haney give me a bra huh what does that mean give me a bra what he meant to say he's not giving me a bra Connor your bra her from a person like you you're the lowest of the low I don't need a problem from you I need you to agree that those breakfasts that were given to me are really mine and I'm the one that will carry that mantle of the Jewish nation a being a nation of kings I'm going to be the one to carry it and I want you to agree to it and listen how beautiful this is what does the amount of answer him he says you know up till now your name was Yaakov what does Yaakov mean yeah code means that you have to follow and follow and get what's yours like all back of any shoe to go and follow a person until you finally grab what's yours but Jakob you did that already and since you did that already your name is no longer Yaakov I have to change your name now your name is he's wrong what does he throw me how did you get all this because you're you shark hell you start killing me do you went the straight way you want the proper way and because of that the sorry similar Kingdom under Simba to harm through the fact that you went with a cutter sparkle straight you didn't make any tricks you didn't fight with a sub in the beginning therefore I'm going to change your name because the job of Yaakov is complete the job of being ok a following is done and therefore therefore your name from now on is you straw now we have to then why does the Kurdish bar who allow this nation you think about it were so few numbers we're between 13 million and 15 million right and yet the whole world is focused on us right you have nations that have a billion people you got China if you look at the past year how many how many times China was on the front cover of newspapers and how many times Israel was in the front cover of newspapers Israel is what we got six seven seven million Jews nobody and you got 1 billion Chinese you know I was talking to some people giving a lecture and they were saying you know we were we were going back and forth how many how many billions of pjs they are so one guy says the billion 100 million a billion 200 million and then a third guy jumps in he says you know what as we're talking and in arguing I bet you another hundred thousand were born that's the numbers you're dealing with when you're dealing with the Chinese so why aren't they in the front covers all the time where are they why only the Jew the answer is but they're Russia this idea of anti-semitism it's not because of them it's a spiritual thing for us one time there was a king and this King saw he had his child and you know how teenagers are they could be very very difficult very difficult and every night this teenager would escape from the palace and he would go hang out with his friends and he would they were drink and they would smoke and they would all they get into trouble the King found out about this he decides I'm gonna work all this out he pulls over all of his buddies all of this teenagers buddies and he tells him like this listen to me from now on this is what you're gonna do when my son comes to you you're gonna slap him up and punch him up you're gonna and every punch that you get given I'm giving you $100 every punch okay the Sun that night escapes the head of house they like it they have free money and they punch him and they write down one punch another punch each guys writing down they have the tally at the end of the next morning they come to the king the King pays them up this child again once again the next night boom bang boom bang boom bang after a while the next day the third day the kid doesn't leave the palace anymore done doesn't leave the palace he doesn't want to hang around with these guys these guys are nuts how could this burger who works the same way when we're in his palace coke was fine he wants us in his palace that's where he wants it such a way but we belong but when we get out of the palace and we go hang around with the wrong people like all the smoke who says God punch him up I need these kids by me that's where they belong they don't belong anywhere else so we want to understand what's the idea of anti-semitism where does it come from it's not something that's logical we give the world so much there's no reason in the world why they should hate us but it's something spiritual it's something spiritual which was created through the Moloch of a sub that he's the one that convinces us to do bad he's the one that then execute the punishment why it's a spiritual thing to keep us in line constantly and therefore we experienced anti-semitism we have to understand why it's happening we shouldn't think oh you know what will mingle more with the will be nicer to them we'll go to their parties and then you know everything is going to be ok just the opposite that's exactly when God is going to send those people to give us punches no go back to the palace it's not where you belong so this was the idea this was the concept this was the reason and this was the place that anti-semitism began didn't have any logic to it it didn't have any does it have any logic today you go it's the universities what do you hate about Israel they've made so many inventions they made your life easier in so many so many ways there's no reason for you to hate them nobody will have a real answer nobody will have a logical answer they hate they don't know themselves why it's a spiritual reason it's a spiritual reason because we are God's children we have the mantle of a king we put that crown every single morning that crown of tefillin we don't read on our tallit that's the robe that our Kings wears and we have to remember that we're the children of our Shem and Shem wants us only in the palace when we succeed there's not a Shem to always follow our colors Burke lose weight and this is will be the primary way where we will eliminate completely any vestige of anti-semitism there will be no reason for anyone to hate us if we're inside the king's palace thank you for listening
