Shnayim Yomi - Vayera - R'vi'i - #4

[Music] the fourth aliyah speaks about how now hashem rained fire and sulfur down on the city of saddam and overturned the entire region like we said before there are really five cities that were grouped together around saddam including saddam life's wife although the family was told to not look back she looked back and guess what happened to her she turned into a pillar of salt and then the rest of the family light and his two daughters took shelter in a cave and assuming that the whole world was destroyed the daughters of light who met well they had a relationship with their father and and they became after intoxicating him with wine they seduced him in order to repopulate the world they thought that they were the last people standing in the entire world and they felt that this was an appropriate thing to do in that time each of them gave birth to a son and these were going to be the future nations of ammon and mayev and and very interestingly david amella would eventually come out of moab and from russ of course and melaka mashiach all from this very very strange episode in this week's power show avraham avinu then moves to the city of gerar avi melath who was the king of the polish dim took sarah and he thought that it was okay to do that because avraham presented her to him as his sister and inviting him her into the palace thinking that he would be able to be together with her all of a sudden hashem made all of the members of al-imelda's palace stricken with the disease and appeared avi malek in a dream and warned him to return sarah to her husband avraham which avimath of course did he showered abraham and sarah with gifts and he and his household were healed sarah in this aliyah conceives and at the age of 90 miraculously gives birth of course to yitzhak avino and avram gave a brisk to yitzhak when he was eight days old [Music] one thing that i wanted to just add to this aliyah if i may is that when light's wife looked back she turned into a pillar of salt now why did she turn into salt of all things why didn't she turn into a into any other thing why salt and i think there's an important lesson to be learned here that she was looking at the destroyed city of saddam saddam was being destroyed like we said with sulfur and salt and so what she was looking at she became a very very important lesson in life we think very often that we watch things on television on movies on our on our smartphones and that it somehow remains separate from us or sometimes people play video games and they're shooting people they're killing people but they don't see that that actually influences them at all after all it's just entertainment what we see from this is that whatever you look at you become when light's wife looked at the city of saddam she became the city of saddam she was actually transported into the view that she was looking at and so it's very important to learn that lesson that we must be very very vigilant with technology not to look at things that we're not supposed to and not think that well it's not the world it's not reality it's just virtual there's another thing as virtual whatever our eyes see becomes a part of us it becomes a part of our mind it becomes a part of our personality and it stays ingrained in us forever [Music] you
