Hi, this is David and welcome to the
para in five where in five minutes we
try to give you an idea that hopefully
will add to your shabas and it is parasu
we come mamish to the end the end of the
tyra we're right there the penultimate
para
it's not easy to work that word in right
means second to the last penultimate
hazenu is a song and It takes us from
the creation of the world all the way to
Mashiach. There is one ping in this para
I want to focus on.
B Israel
set up the 70 nations like the 70
members of Ben Israel went down to
Mitzv.
This is uh
chronologically incorrect.
When did the 70 nations get separated?
The 70 nations make their appearance at
the end of the marble when it gives us
the to of no there are 70 they become
the 70 nations of the world and at mdal
divides all of their languages and they
become 70 separate distinct nations.
Now they can't just join together
and then at that time after that Abraino
appears on the scene and then he's
starts teaching comes to him at 70 at
100 he has
and
400 years after that they come out of
Egypt
but from
being born until they go down to Egypt
So Yakov is 130. His father was 60 when
he was born is 190 years. And then we
were down in Egypt for 210 years. So 190
is going to be hundreds of years after
Baraku separated the 70 nations that the
70 people of Clyra went down.
Do you know what the Pik is telling us?
We are it. We are the entire world.
Everything revolves around us.
And that's what the PK is telling us.
The 70 nations which were created was
only because we were going to become 70
people go down to Egypt.
The Maharal says because 70 is the final
number
that you see of significance in the
Torah. It's amazing.
He says at the age of 20 you go out to
war. At the age of 30 the levim start
working
right and he goes through the different
numbers.
You you count only until 60 over 60 is a
different number. We don't make it a
separate group anymore. Everything after
that is is the same.
And 70 is the people of the Sanhedrin.
That's the final number. He says, "You
don't find an 80.
You don't find a 90.
70 is the last significant number." And
70 will pop up in a lot of different
places.
And so
there's a beautiful balum in Balo where
he says there are 70 names for and 70
names for CLA
and the 70
individuals of Claus who went down
represent the entire world. The world
represents them.
It's a very important concept
because it's very easy in the world we
live in to think who are the Jews.
A fraction of 1% of the population.
But the whole world is obsessed with us.
Every country, nobody cares about other
wars that are going on. No one cares
about other oppressions that are
happening to people. Nobody cares uh
about about uh the weaguers in China.
Nobody cares about the slavery in the
Sudan. Nobody cares about any of this
stuff. All they care about is the Jews
who are such a fraction of the
population and that's all they care
about
because they understand that we are the
Aha, that we are responsible for the
entire world and they sense it.
And so as we approach this new year, we
need to understand
that we are the world.
We bring shim.
We're bringing for the 70 nations of the
world. And the khazal say that if the
nations of the world knew what they had
lost by destroying the base of mikdash,
they would have run to rebuild it
because those 70 nations, we're the ones
who are responsible for them and for
being able to take care of the world.
Never underestimate yourself. When we
read, which is the story of world
history, it's the story of Jewish
history. Because what we do sets
everything into motion and decides
everything in this world. Use your power
carefully because as Uncle Ben said,
with great power comes great
responsibility.
Good chabas.
