0:01
Let's go to the power shot. If you mind recording just like,
0:05
oh, wow, OK, let's go to the power shot.
0:09
It's my notes that's recording this.
0:11
So it opens up the middle of a story layer is one of the most
0:16
packed Rashid that we have in it.
0:18
You have a story of our Sham visiting Abraham with the
0:21
Malaheen, with Saddam, with Sarah being almost being taken
0:27
again. And then you have like, there's
0:28
a lot, a lot, but the opening is really the middle of a story.
0:34
How does it open by Ira Allah, Hashem, Hashem appears to him,
0:39
doesn't even say who him is. It's Abraham.
0:41
Obviously God appears to him. Bello name Mamre in a certain
0:45
location is sitting by the entrance to the tent in the heat
0:54
of the day. All right, in the heat of the
0:56
day. So Hashanah appears to him.
0:58
We said it doesn't say his name because you're in the middle of
1:00
the story. Read the back up a drop at the
1:02
end. Les, you probably shot this
1:03
float directly into this week to get the full story.
1:06
And then last week Hashanah appeared that Raham.
1:08
I said I'm going to give you children.
1:10
I'm giving you along with that God said I'm giving you a
1:14
mitzvah of Milah. I'm going to change your name.
1:18
All right, I'm giving you mitzah of milah.
1:20
I'm going to change your name to Raham and you're going to be
1:22
blessed children. God appear to Sarah I am and
1:28
godfather God appear to Sarah and said the exact same thing I
1:35
am. I got right there.
1:37
I shall appear to Sarah and says God appears to Sarah and says
1:47
these words. He says I am God said Abraham.
1:53
I'm going to change Sarah's name as well.
1:55
It's from Sarai to Sarah and she's going to have children.
1:58
That's the analyzer by the shop and then they have them.
1:59
It's about Mila. Abraham does Mila, Ishmael does
2:02
Mila. That's the story good.
2:05
And now there you go. And now breakfast is eating on
2:13
these shares. Breakfast.
2:19
Hi rabbit, keep going. I'm going to just say find the
2:22
chair by the time your class is over.
2:23
Don't go in this chair. There's.
2:26
One Here we go. Jeffrey, what do you say and the
2:32
other so our Pasha opens up with a shop period around Vino like
2:36
we said and and we said visiting him paying a visit to the sick
2:40
based on that, unless if I was told you're going to change your
2:43
name. So I was going to change your
2:44
name. You're going to do Mila along
2:46
with Ishmael and you're going to have children and then Hashem
2:50
appears to Abraham of you. I want to explain the flow.
2:53
What is this idea, but you gotta love Hashem literally means how
2:57
she writes it was Biko holim, the first example we have of God
3:01
visiting the sick. I don't even know from the words
3:05
Hashem appeared to him that it means he's visiting the sick.
3:08
So I saw an explanation because it says where Hashem, it says
3:11
Hashem visited Abraham Bello name Amare tells us a location
3:18
normally just as a sham appeared to Abraham by saying location it
3:22
means God paid a visit. That's the idea.
3:25
Where was the location? This flows back less fresh out.
3:27
The location was called EI Lo nim Mamre and this name is
3:32
mentioned because the individual name Mamre.
3:35
This man was the one who gave our Havino advice regarding the
3:40
milah. What was the advice without
3:41
Brahmi to know? God told to do it.
3:43
So the advice was I Braham wanted to know, do I do it in
3:47
private or am I meant to do it publicly?
3:49
What's the idea? Should everyone know about this
3:51
Bilal? Should it be a hidden thing?
3:53
And my man has said it for his fake sake of Hashem, do it in
3:57
public, it'll bring in Kadushi Hashem and he did it in public.
3:59
So Hashem up here at the Abraham visiting the sick, the middle of
4:04
the story right after Abraham did Milan and he paid respects
4:08
or visited sick rather in this location.
4:11
We mentioned location because the location is the city of an
4:14
individual who is credited for the beauty of the Mila.
4:19
His name is Mama. Did he have any communication
4:21
with Hashem? No, he he was an elder.
4:23
He wasn't like Abrahamia's level.
4:25
No, I don't know. He's one of those original
4:28
elders, Sham and those that crew.
4:30
All right, that's the opening. Now we need to know.
4:33
We need to know. Does is we need to know.
4:37
Now, does that Mila's story? Does that chain Abraham's name?
4:41
Does that flow into the rest of the project or is that just the
4:44
source of the illness which requires a visit?
4:47
So it's simply it's a source of illness.
4:49
And now Bashar, is Bashar visiting Raham.
4:52
We're going to make a connection, try to what's the
4:54
next step While Raham is sitting there, the basuk says he's
4:58
sitting by the tent, by the ancients.
5:00
In the tent, he's sick. While he's by the ancients, he's
5:04
waiting for guests. Basuk also says Kirkham Hayom
5:10
writes Rashi, it was an extremely hot day.
5:14
On this day when Raham is sitting there, it was in fact,
5:18
she says home Ayo means third day, third day after the
5:22
Milasso. It's the most sicky, it's most
5:24
painful. And it was so hot 'cause home
5:27
Ayo means Hashem took the sun out of any cover.
5:32
There was no protective shield which normally has in order to
5:35
make it the hottest day of all time.
5:37
So all possible people passing by us should not pass by on this
5:42
day 'cause God wanted our home to rest.
5:44
God's visiting him. He's obviously sick if he needs
5:47
us to visit. He's obviously really sick.
5:48
He's an old man who didn't mean love.
5:50
It's a big deal. And I'm Rahm is still sitting by
5:54
the anxious way to the tanks. Why this is a story as we know.
5:57
Why is he sitting at the anxious way?
5:58
Because he's not interested in going a day without guests.
6:02
He wants to have guests even if it's baking hot and even if he's
6:06
ill. And so the next step, the basuk
6:09
says Hashem sends or the basuk says by his sign off every home
6:14
looks of his eyes by yard and he sees the initial Shah nashim.
6:18
There are behold three men. It's avim.
6:22
Allah was standing right next to him, standing right there by
6:25
yard. The bazooks is the word by yard
6:27
again. He's so and he's so by yard is
6:29
look at time and you race to reach them.
6:33
This is this bazooka says by yard by yard.
6:35
Twice it opens up by his sign up while he's sitting by the front
6:39
of the tent sick with Hashem visiting him.
6:42
He lifts up his eyes by yard and he sees the men above men there.
6:47
Then he sees again the pasuk says that's by yard twice and he
6:51
runs to greet them, MI ptaka oil from the gate of his tent, from
6:57
the opening of his tent. He races to reach them by istaku
7:00
artsa and they bow down to him and he, oh, he, he invites him
7:04
in which we get to. So let's analyze this pasuk
7:07
again. Abraham as a man who is very
7:09
sick. We should not, according to
7:11
Hashem's, always be involved in Hesse on this day.
7:14
But that for Abraham is not OK. He wants to do Hesse right?
7:17
So he runs to greet him. He sees people.
7:19
Now the pursuit uses the words a yahiso, the Heinen, and behold,
7:24
there are people. Behold is an interesting word.
7:27
Whether the people were, they're not.
7:29
So I saw this explanation. Behold me.
7:31
They popped up out of nowhere. They popped up out of nowhere.
7:34
We know 'cause they were angels. Let's say Abraham didn't know
7:38
that yet. Basuk says Abraham saw again and
7:43
he ran after them. Let's say he didn't realize
7:46
they're angels. Let's go with that approach.
7:48
Seems to be the case. So he thought that people and
7:51
they popped them out of nowhere. So I saw an explanation.
7:54
That means they were obviously very fast walkers.
7:57
That's why he ran after them. He was afraid they're going to
8:00
run away. And why does it say the word by
8:03
yard twice that many reasons. Some say he saw them and then he
8:06
saw their need. He saw them, he saw them
8:09
hesitant double C, which is our she idea.
8:12
The other explanation is he saw them and that's our she
8:17
perceived what they need and he went after them.
8:20
She's worse than that. Point is my by mauva yard by
8:24
Yash NEPA Amim Harry Shona's literal and the second one is
8:28
understanding this, that Kale. He noticed that they were
8:30
standing and they didn't want to bother him, so he went over and
8:34
ran over to them. But the other explanation is the
8:37
literal is because they popped up out of nowhere, he's afraid
8:41
to go fast. So he had to keep his eyes on
8:44
them the whole time. So by yard, by yard means, he
8:47
watched them as he's running tall with them because otherwise
8:49
he's going to leave, all right? And he runs to them.
8:52
This is the first of the many runs and running that we have
8:56
from Abraham Bino and Al Prashad.
8:57
The concept of doing festive with unbelievable energy and
9:02
haste. Again 99 years old we know he's
9:06
bleeding from the milah he's in great pain God is but that's not
9:11
the biggest most impressive thing in the story The most
9:13
impressive thing is next possible by Yomen.
9:15
He says the word is he said I don't know let's assume he's
9:19
talking to God in Namasati henbeiner literally means he's
9:23
talking to my single master is talking to these three men.
9:28
The shot deeper is talking to let's go with the three men
9:31
first. He says, if I found favor in
9:33
your eyes, I'll please do not pass from me, please do not
9:40
leave. I'll break that down.
9:42
He is sick. They are pessimists.
9:45
He begs him, He runs in him, I'll not that word.
9:49
Please do not pass from me. If I found favor in your eyes,
9:54
this is the greatest favor you can do for me.
9:57
That's what he's hinting to them.
9:59
And that, by the way, is a major theme of his.
10:02
You know, you've got, I'm sure you've been on the receiving end
10:04
for something. I have and we're on the
10:06
receiving end. They're two kinds.
10:08
There are someone makes you feel good about it and someone who
10:11
tells you or hints you that really.
10:14
But you got to get the sense that you're receiving.
10:16
It's a whole different ball game.
10:17
One you say to yourself, I don't want to be in the position ever
10:19
again. And the other one you hardly
10:21
realize you're even getting. That was Abraham's mode in this
10:25
classic example. That's if he's talking to the
10:29
angels now, and he said the word one night, let's say it's angels
10:33
because they have the night. He says one, there are three
10:36
men. Why would he say to 1?
10:41
So as she says, talking singular, he's talking to the
10:43
main one. OK, talking to the main one.
10:47
What we need to do is three men really angels.
10:49
He didn't realize, but he picked out the main one and he was
10:52
talking to him. Take another shot later on,
10:56
later on, the best show we know these three men were really
10:59
angels and we'll see. These three men had three
11:02
missions. What were their missions?
11:04
One one was to destroy Saddam, One was to heal Abraham and save
11:11
Lot. We'll get to havoc to have two
11:13
missions and one was to inform Sarah.
11:16
Sarah, correct. And she can have a baby.
11:18
Three men, kind of three missions.
11:21
I saw this shot. I think it's Aura Kayim.
11:24
The reason Abraham spoke to 1. He may not have known he was
11:28
doing this, but the rule of Coalesce was two of those men,
11:32
such as angels, was supposed to visit him.
11:35
They had to. That was their job to heal him
11:38
and to inform Saddam. One of them had no reason to be
11:42
by Abraham. So he's talking to the singular.
11:45
He's really talking to the one guy who's should not stay here.
11:48
They both had to come inside regardless.
11:49
They both were going to come inside because that was their
11:52
job. But the one who was not meant to
11:54
come inside, Abraham, is talking to him and saying to him,
11:58
Please, you, the individual, don't pass.
12:00
I want to serve you as well. So that's that and.
12:04
We're going to play into our beginning Saddam in a second,
12:06
right? That's a part of the plane as
12:07
well. So now Mohammed is doing the
12:09
best. And now the other lip shot is
12:11
that when he said that word on one night, he was talking to
12:13
Hashem. What did Hashem come into the
12:15
picture? Because Hashem was in the middle
12:17
of visiting. So according to that
12:19
explanation, talking to Hashem, when he left him, God was
12:21
visiting him. That explanation is is that God
12:24
was in the midst of Bikorholim and Abraham saw these three men
12:29
and Abraham said Hashem one second I need to do something
12:32
and Iran do taking care of the guests.
12:37
That's the classic explanation. Set the whole thing up.
12:40
Oh, so now the obvious question you're pointing this question,
12:43
I'll ask it to you. I want to get the answers why,
12:46
How could I Abraham have you. I understand you have a mitzvah
12:50
that you like to do, which is having guests.
12:53
You're dealing with, by the way, Arab guests, as we'll see,
12:57
individuals whom he didn't believe might have served idols,
13:02
not really part of his own. And Abraham Vinu, instead of,
13:07
you know, letting the past, he stops him and asks God to wait
13:11
according to this approach. How can we explain that?
13:14
How can a person give up on the opportunity for Hashem to visit
13:19
or allowing it to pass and instead of going after the
13:21
guests, What's the explanation? There are multiple, What's 1?
13:24
Give me one, I shall set up the whole thing.
13:27
OK, good. Because really?
13:30
Seeing the guest is serving Hashem who is talking to Hashem
13:34
is OK his own. Pleasure, but to serve.
13:35
Hashem is to do to do Hashem. Good.
13:39
Yeah. What do you think?
13:41
What's the question? He saw I shall visit him.
13:44
And he told basically going to his job, told Hashem, Please
13:47
wait. I need to go.
13:48
I need to go invite the guests. And the classic question is, I
13:51
know he was a big deal. Is it a bigger deal?
13:56
And having Hashem visit you? He's making Hashem wait to do
13:59
this. That's the question going up the
14:02
guest. Is that up Hashem?
14:05
I guess he was focused on that, wasn't he?
14:07
Focused on that? That was his whole thing while
14:09
he was out there to begin with. OK, he.
14:11
Didn't get the shipping now until the guest came.
14:14
Maybe the shipping now only came to sit down he.
14:16
Only he also said he didn't want to leave that, like he was void
14:20
of it for the, you know, till they came.
14:23
So it's connected. OK, so let's go to that
14:25
approach. According to that approach,
14:26
there's 2 approaches. 1 is Hashem sent angels.
14:30
Raham got that sense because he knew it was a boiling hot day
14:33
and he knew it was a God-given opportunity.
14:35
He didn't want to let it out. Which means even if he didn't
14:37
think they were angels, he still knew that Hashem was involved in
14:41
this. You.
14:42
Think he thinks Hashem was. Involved in it.
14:44
That would be the approach I took from you, which is if it's,
14:47
let's say 170°, it was something like that, something out of this
14:51
world, 170°, melting degrees. There's no one walking in a
14:55
room, there's no one stopping, no one standing.
14:57
It's got to be Hashem orchestrating this.
15:00
Even if they're not angels, it's still somewhat of a miracle.
15:03
It's an opportunity. I want to peso.
15:05
That'll be the idea. Hashem's already with.
15:07
You so you want to say if Hashem sent them, Hashem wants me to do
15:10
this? The deeper idea is that
15:13
actually, as I found from the Rajman, that it's not really two
15:18
stories. It says Hashem appear and then
15:22
the angels came, the men came. Really, really these men were in
15:28
Abraham in his eyes a representation of God performing
15:32
God's mitzvah. These are the words of the
15:35
Rajbaham. Performing Hashem mitzvah.
15:37
Having these people come into his house is the Bayira Allah,
15:40
Hashem. Hashem appeared to him while he
15:43
was by the gate of the tent, and that was these three men.
15:47
It's not 2 separate stories. It's connected.
15:49
That's the approach. I want to say Father.
15:51
So they were all there together, is that what you're saying?
15:53
So it means God wasn't. God is not a thing.
15:57
God is not a being. God is a shukina.
15:59
And this shukina in a sense that Abraham's life came alive when
16:03
he was doing his greatest mitzvah in the most heightened
16:05
time at the most risky time. And it's really one of the same.
16:08
That's a new approach, right? Because when he was sad that
16:12
Shukina doesn't. Come exactly very good.
16:15
When he wasn't himself, even though he was involved in the
16:18
mitzvah Milan, he's incorporating, he was not really
16:21
doing Abraham stuff and that bothered him.
16:24
He wanted to get back to himself.
16:26
So the miracle was that God created a situation of Azad
16:30
Rahim in that state so he can continue to perform Abraham ISM.
16:36
We'll see why that's important in a second.
16:37
Now what was that Abrahamism Rahim?
16:40
Let's look at the the having of the guests for a minute and
16:43
we'll get to an entire flow so far.
16:45
This is the parasha with some details.
16:47
Yuka Nam at mine. He asked them, can you please
16:51
take some water and wash your feet?
16:57
They shall new Takata heads and rest under your tree.
17:01
He talks very small game. Can you please take a little
17:05
water, wash your feet and rest on the street?
17:10
They have pot like him, and I'll get you some bread and you'll be
17:14
full and then you'll go. Very light speech.
17:20
Why can you talk small? Then give him a lot.
17:23
Lesson is great. People talk a little.
17:25
Do a lot with other classic concept and small people talk a
17:29
lot, do a little. That's a lesson.
17:31
There's a deeper concept there as well, and there's our Baha.
17:34
Vinu did not want to impose. Everything he's doing was in a
17:39
very much a minimal way, understanding that they're
17:42
passing by. He didn't want to impose.
17:43
He saw that they were debating coming to him.
17:45
So you need to open up in a very small way.
17:48
So it's not to lay it on thick. You know, sometimes you get a
17:51
heavy photo and you don't want to go.
17:53
If you get a light pass by, it comes smooth on the porch.
17:55
Your game, right? I have been understood part of
17:59
my face. It is to do what they want.
18:01
But it must have been hours. Go get the calf cut, slaughter
18:05
it, cook it. Very good once hours, once he
18:09
did it very fast but once he. Went to the.
18:14
Marana, he raced together and stuff like that, but he did it.
18:17
I hate you. It's time.
18:20
Must have been some sort of speed.
18:22
But the opening was a picture. And I hate your problem that it
18:25
took time. But once they acquiesced and
18:27
they came in, Abraham saw it must be that they were
18:30
interested. And then he did the whole thing.
18:32
But he's talked small. Please take some water, he says.
18:37
Not water, a little water. Another reason why you use the
18:40
term little water is because the water was used to wash their
18:44
feet, and washing their feet was five dozen.
18:48
Our purposes. I wasn't serving them.
18:51
That's not really having gas. It's a process in order to make
18:56
them into gas. That's not part of the mitzvah.
18:58
You pile the line when you're doing the good part of the
19:00
mitzvah. When you're doing this, the
19:02
introduction to the mitzvah, you know, it's like taking their
19:05
coat. It's washing their feet.
19:06
It's not the thing it is to enable them to be able to come
19:09
into the house. And that's why that part he
19:12
mentions emphasizes small and everything else he just says not
19:15
so much. Doesn't say the word small.
19:17
Right now when he says what we're doing is we're going
19:20
through Papa and pulling out additional concepts.
19:22
When he says the words have some bread, besa do le Prem and
19:29
satiate your heart, alright? Doesn't say the word torhelu.
19:35
Excuse me? He says the word satiate.
19:38
So hello is eat. Sati means fill up.
19:42
So there's two points. The word sati is an interesting
19:44
word. Like I said without why don't
19:47
you use the word eat? So again, I'm happy.
19:50
Let's focus on the purpose and the purpose is to give them a
19:53
good feeling, as I heard from Abu Jodi last night in the
19:55
speech, to give them a good feeling, to give them the right
19:58
outcome. Say he says the word sati, the
20:00
word in Libraham. It sounds like he's talking
20:05
again to one individual. It should be livab the hem.
20:09
Your heart's Lib him as one individual, right?
20:13
She says, because you're talking to angels and angels have no
20:22
separation between 1 Angel and the other.
20:24
They all get along so well because they're angels, of
20:26
course. And because of that, he said the
20:30
word Lib him your heart is if you're 1, fine.
20:35
Here's a challenge. Did you know the angels or not?
20:38
So there is an approach. By the way, the other Hai
20:40
makatoshi, so you know, says Abraham got the hints.
20:45
He knew they were angels, but he said if God allowed them to
20:48
appear like men, let me treat them like men.
20:51
That's all the games approach. It was just a whole different
20:53
angle. It's interesting, whole
20:54
different angle. Let's go.
20:56
That he thought they were people.
20:58
That's why we say the word Lib ham.
21:00
So Terra Hamim says he wanted to give them a common man.
21:05
Part of having guests is to make them feel good.
21:07
So you want to tell them you guys are so special, you look
21:10
like such a great crew, you must get along so well.
21:14
Nothing to do with having guests.
21:15
He just threw in a compliment. He said you look at you get
21:17
along so well, you're 1 heart. So he said live with him.
21:21
So again you see Abraham Avina doing the extras and having
21:26
guests. Not only about downloading food
21:29
in this system, it's more about the process than everything
21:32
else. You know, the game, alas, says
21:34
as an aside point, the glasses come to that company.
21:36
I'm afraid we came out of if you say the right thing to people,
21:40
you get 11 bit a hot, a poor man comes to you and you give him a
21:44
compliment. He said I haven't seen you in a
21:46
while. He isn't in kind to him.
21:49
And you know, I saw a poor guy by a wedding recently, one of
21:54
the guys when his collectors come to the show, I haven't seen
21:57
him a little while, so I haven't seen you.
21:59
He's like, yeah, my timing is a little off forever.
22:01
I'm going to come back and then you start to tell me, I don't
22:04
know if I had money or not, but I actually did have used my
22:07
credit card, but it was regardless the conversation
22:10
during the wedding. I I told to myself, this guy
22:12
might as well have a conversation with the guy.
22:14
He's staying there by the entrance way to the wedding.
22:17
It's not an awesome position to be in, right?
22:19
That's the concept of question in general.
22:22
Are those conversations lifting the person up?
22:25
Let them say their speech, let them say their pitch, let them
22:27
talk to you. And it's not about the family.
22:29
When the guy tells you he's marrying over his daughter, you
22:32
tell them about Brooke 1st and then you get to the thing,
22:33
right? We all, we do all these things.
22:35
That is Sadhu Lebrim lifting them up.
22:39
And he was giving them a compliment, saying you guys look
22:41
like you have one heart all right now he tells them.
22:45
And then you can go on your merry way.
22:47
And I, Raham refers to himself again.
22:50
All of the him you pass by your servant, he's calling himself a
22:55
servant. He's a servant.
22:58
He calls them his master, they're beggars, they're
23:02
pacifies. He's not, but he's treating
23:04
himself like a servant. That's the Portuguese.
23:08
And they respond by saying these words by Yomudu.
23:11
Can TA SE cachet de barta. Do as you said.
23:17
Yes, do as you said. They don't say yes, they say do
23:21
as you say. I saw two explanations on those
23:24
words, one as if they told Abraham, yes, we're in a hurry,
23:31
practical sworn our rights. You said hurry, we're in a
23:34
hurry, so get going. And Iran therefore buy their
23:38
little cue that they're serious about the hurry.
23:40
He starts to run. So you can imagine they have a
23:43
degree of nerve. He offers them and he's going
23:46
all over and above and he mentioned the fact that I'm
23:48
going to do it quick. And they say, yeah, do it quick.
23:51
Iran does it quick. We'll try Solis.
23:53
That's point and more. The lipshot is and the Torada
23:57
does not want to have these men lied.
24:00
Did they eat the food? They were angels.
24:03
They. Appeared like they.
24:05
Ate appeared like they ate, didn't really eat.
24:08
They stuck it on the table. So because they didn't really
24:11
eat the different tumor she's stuck on the table or some sort
24:14
of consumption. That's what she says, but not
24:16
really. Sand like they hit it.
24:18
Everywhere, she says. Everyone's pulled that off one
24:23
time but you. Didn't suppose it exactly by
24:26
some end. You can't.
24:30
He unloaded a whole animal. Tells about a Shiva each guy
24:34
guys on all the time. They made it look like they ate
24:43
me, Khan and me. You learn that a person should
24:45
practice when in Rome or when he's sitting by the table.
24:48
Make it look like you're involved, even not involved.
24:51
But they didn't eat according to Rashi.
24:53
So because they weren't going to eat, they said the words can't I
24:57
say I shared the part that do as you say they didn't say we're
25:01
going to eat. They said do what you going to
25:03
do because they wanted to avoid saying a lie in the to them.
25:06
OK, now Raham rushes. I am a head Abraham Raham Raham
25:12
races into the tent. He tells that prepare a lot of
25:16
loaves bail about car and he runs to the cattle and he takes
25:20
the best cattle and he gives it to the nod and nod Ishmael.
25:25
He hurries the Ishmael to slaughter it.
25:27
And then he takes different things and he puts them all
25:30
together and he feeds them under the tree.
25:33
Go Omed Allahem Taqata. It's by Okrello.
25:36
This is right, right. That's the story.
25:41
Now a side factor to keep in mind.
25:45
This is considered the number one example of Hesse Nawatura,
25:49
right? It's considered the number one
25:52
example of Hakanasatura for sure.
25:55
Abraham Aveeno, by the way, did this every day.
26:00
There's a three word by which means Abraham planted a place
26:04
called Ahila Shriya, I think it is.
26:09
And Lena, he made a place, He made an inn, a free inn for
26:12
people to come and eat. He did this every day.
26:14
It's not a new thing. This one is highlighted,
26:18
detailed, explain, elaborated and so much credit is given to
26:22
this one. And then I'm bomb analyzes the
26:24
word by in my head. He hurried by your hearts and he
26:27
ran all that and this one, what's interesting to me is this
26:31
the story was a completely fake story.
26:35
They didn't eat a thing. A totally unnecessary story. 0
26:40
impact from the Haqq Assad regime in this example and this
26:44
is your prime example of hassle of all time.
26:47
Fair question now I think it's so interesting Robin many many
26:52
other examples where he did it and those don't get much
26:55
mentioned. This one does why we'll get back
26:58
to that question. We have two other examples and
27:00
opera shot of in a certain sense.
27:02
Obviously Abraham didn't know that they were angels.
27:05
Keep going with them. So therefore, I mean, if there
27:08
if you know he's going out of his way to prepare them all this
27:10
food and everything. You know, he obviously knew that
27:12
you know, he thought they were human.
27:14
He thought they were human, but even though it turned out not to
27:17
be and eventually Abraham gets gets the message because they
27:20
started talking to him about the plans, the plans exactly that's
27:25
what I that's what I thought maybe he would have realized
27:29
that they were he did eventually coined to every child.
27:31
He did eventually. So that question that was
27:33
towards the end. That was towards the end when
27:36
they were leaving, though, right That was when they next pasuk.
27:39
They asked us that up. So let me tell you what I think
27:42
your answer is correct and he didn't know.
27:44
The reason it's without is telling us and elaborating is
27:47
that we doubled down. The concept that has it is not
27:51
about the outcome at all. It's all about the effort.
27:54
It's all about what happens to you in the process.
27:57
They've been rabbis who said I try every day to do 1 actor has
28:01
it not to hurt. One kind word. 1 nice text one
28:05
visit $1.00 charity. 1 actor has it every day.
28:09
Many rabbis say that. Why?
28:11
Because it expands you, it develops us, it makes it the
28:15
better people. They came when I famously asked
28:18
that there was an individual who was criticizing Hashem, McCoy,
28:21
and he said, if you God is so special, he told the Jew, why
28:24
does he make poor people? And the rabbi said, you know
28:26
why? For the rich, for those who can
28:29
give, what does that mean? Hashem wants us to have the
28:33
capability and have the development through giving.
28:36
Why do they have to be the Guinea pigs?
28:37
I don't know, but that's on us to be the ones to give so that
28:42
we can expand ourselves. And so I want to give you a
28:43
perfect example where there was no real outcome.
28:47
So you double down on this constant and you really drive
28:49
home the concert. That's the idea.
28:51
Now, they asked to set up Ayomu ELA, Ayeh, Sarah, Ishdha, where
28:57
is your wife set up? Ayo man, He said she's in the
29:01
tent and she says the angels and they're about to reveal the fact
29:06
that the angels, What are they asking?
29:09
They know where she is. They're angels says right.
29:11
She the classic point. We all know the points to endear
29:16
Sarah to her husband Abraham because when Abraham says over
29:21
the back that she's in the tent, he's saying I'm proud of the
29:23
fact that she is modest. So in order to bring out that
29:26
point, the angels wanted Abraham to hear the question, give the
29:29
answer and realize how special his wife was.
29:32
That's why they asked the question.
29:34
OK, clear. So so far the angels came for a
29:37
visit. They asked this question and
29:39
then they say this line. Yo, man, shove a shoe.
29:43
E recha que ET Kaya. We're going to return a year for
29:48
now. Vinay Bella, Sarah Isteka and
29:51
Sarah, your wife will have a son, the Sarah shumat beta hoel
29:55
buah Sarah here's and Rahman. Sarah very old and she lefts.
30:03
OK, she lefts. We'll get to a left hopefully at
30:05
the end. This is the flow of Leslie
30:07
Parishad leading into this week. I want to make a very clear
30:11
connection. I found that the Ushahami says
30:16
Abraham was asked where's your wife?
30:19
And Abraham said my wife would be said in the fasuk in the
30:22
tent. She's Sonua.
30:25
Ushahami says Sarah was asked where's your husband?
30:29
They saw him ready. Said I was asked where's your
30:32
husband and said I answered he's by the doorway, the tent, he's
30:37
by his post, he's out. What do you think he's doing?
30:40
So then the question is the ego saw that they met him.
30:44
Why are they asking these questions?
30:46
Says the clear car. These questions were not just
30:49
simple questions and these answers and they had direct
30:52
contact with Salah. Yes, says the clear car.
30:55
The purpose of these questions was not simply to endear each
31:00
spouse, another spouse. It was deeper than that.
31:03
It was explaining a merit necessary for this moment.
31:09
He explains that these angels were coming to tell Abraham
31:12
Abinu groundbreaking news. The groundbreaking news actually
31:16
tells Sadat was that they're going to have a child.
31:20
In order to have that child, they needed one last merit, the
31:25
merit of Abraham Abinu being by the doorway of the tent doing
31:31
his thing and said I Emmanuel being inside a tent helping
31:37
people, but in a modest way. They needed this last merit
31:41
before the angels can say their speech.
31:44
Is it the clear car explains All right now let's make a few
31:48
connections to put a shot opened up Lassie for a shot closed.
31:52
I'm sorry with the with the Mila.
31:55
Abraham got a Mila and his name was changed and so was his name
31:58
changed. Then we have the visit.
32:01
The visit includes angels. The angels are being welcomed as
32:05
guests and then the angels tell the news to the two of them that
32:09
they have a sign step after step of the step.
32:11
Any connection? Let me tell you a perfect
32:14
connection. I believe it's perfect.
32:15
You ready? Here's how it goes.
32:18
When Hashem told Abraham about Mila, God was telling Abraham
32:22
you're going to become a new person, a Jew.
32:24
Mila is the sign of being a Jew. You and your wife are going to
32:28
become new people, Jews. Both your names are going to get
32:32
the letter hair 'cause you're going to have Hashem in your
32:35
name. You bring Hashem into your life
32:37
to Milah was that's the start of that.
32:40
But Irah Allah, Hashem, Hashem appears to him.
32:44
That means being that he did to Milah, he brought Hashem into
32:47
his life. Hashem is now in his life.
32:51
Now Raha vino needs to act as a Jew acts.
32:54
How does a Jew act? How can I sat on him?
32:56
Hehze is the stamp of a Jew. So Abraham does that Hesse.
33:01
He does the Hesse to those messengers of God who are going
33:06
to tell him the good news. He does Hesse to them to bring
33:10
out the merit of being told to have a child.
33:15
He does that Hesse. So when God appears to him, he
33:17
has Hashem in him. Now he's being a Jew back to
33:20
them. By being that Jew, he brings out
33:23
the merit. Why is it that he does the
33:25
hazard to the same people who are going to tell them about the
33:28
child? Because he needed to do the
33:30
merit with them in order for them to have the power or to
33:34
have the mission. I'm telling him to have your
33:38
cock. He needs to do his merit and
33:40
Saddam needs to do her merit. So therefore Muhammad sahm
33:43
hassat Rahim to those peoples angels and Saddam does insider
33:48
tent to those peoples angels with the with the modesty and
33:51
delivery so that they can bring out a child's cock.
33:54
So it's a process from milah and name change and visit of Hashem
33:59
and the mitzvah to bring out the merit, to bring out the child in
34:04
the process. Is that clear?
34:07
If that makes sense. Got it.
34:08
And that's the idea of al Pasha. That's opening of al Pasha.
34:12
And that's why he needed to do al khazzar to him, to these
34:16
people. Why don't you do al khazzar to
34:18
him, to other people? God didn't have enough angels in
34:21
his, in His thing. There has to be the same ones
34:23
that are coming to inform him and to heal him are the ones
34:28
that are coming to give you the guests, right?
34:32
Hashem doesn't have 6 angels, three for guests and three for
34:36
news. And the answer is it's the same
34:39
people who needed to be the guests and the news informers
34:43
because it was his has said to them that Meredith, they they're
34:47
going to do back to him the good news.
34:50
And one last detail. This is incredible.
34:53
These men, Silas angels, I visited they in the process when
34:57
they visited, they healed Abraham and informed Sarah and
35:03
it's written and when they informed Sarah, all the sudden
35:07
Sarah's body began to change. They weren't just informing,
35:12
they were healing. So as Abraham developing the
35:18
merit, they are both informing Sarah and Abraham and actually
35:23
developing Siddharam Ham to become capable of having
35:27
children. So it's a full circle process.
35:30
He's giving to them and the process and this who did that,
35:34
they're giving back to him. That's a structure of passion
35:37
here. Clear step by step isn't.
35:40
Usually. Emanuel has 1 mission and.
35:42
Done yes. So they asked this question to
35:43
that point, let's go to the next step for a minute.
35:45
What time is it? Go to.
35:47
The next step for a minute is. There a beat.
35:50
Here is there, hopefully I'll be downstairs.
35:51
Yes, at one 9:00 So this is the next question.
35:53
I have one question real quick, please, Sorry to interrupt you.
35:57
How many years after they left Egypt did this happen?
36:01
How many at the Sarah and Abraham left Egypt from their
36:04
original story, exactly what they lied about being brother
36:06
and sister. How many years later was this
36:08
many years? I don't know how long it's many
36:09
many years. Not sure actually doesn't say
36:13
say how old Abraham was in that first travel.
36:16
You can figure out from there when the Abraham travelled to.
36:29
65, 65 So he was around 6566, a half right away.
36:36
So what happened immediately? The no, the Messiah happened
36:41
right away. This is 33 years later, about 33
36:45
years later. All right now.
36:47
So the question which is, don't every Angel have only one
36:50
mission? How can they have two missions?
36:52
So according to our upshot, these two things of being guests
36:56
and also healing our Rahm is one of the same.
36:58
That's the shot with that. But then how can they go?
37:00
At next step was when we heal the Rahm save Lot.
37:04
All right, so let's make this. This is brought down from the
37:08
Namban itself. The Namban says that after this
37:11
process, he went on to Sodom to both destroy Sodom and save Lot.
37:17
And the Angel healed up. Rahm Vino was the one who saved.
37:21
Lot says that I'm buying that Angel was welcomed.
37:25
Those two angels were welcomed in by Lot as guests and in the
37:30
merit of being welcomed in as guests.
37:34
But they say Lot exact same kinds we have over here.
37:37
So really this Angel has got 1 mission, which is he is an Angel
37:41
that brings out merits and therefore develops the zahut and
37:45
the zahut itself saves. That's the mission of this one
37:48
Angel in both processes. Now one last theme I want to
37:52
stick in for a minute. That's the theme of the whole
37:53
opening of our shop. The theme in general, like I
37:56
mentioned before, is that you have 3 examples in our parisha
37:59
of things that went nowhere. This one welcoming the guests,
38:04
they didn't eat. Secondly, right after this one
38:08
of the angels or Hashem himself tells Abraham, excuse me about
38:15
the fact is he destroys Saddam and Abraham opens up in a very
38:19
lengthy detailed risky prayer. Maybe the 50 righteous people
38:24
4030 and each line Abraham says he says different terminologies.
38:29
I am like the dust of the earth. I know he I thought of the
38:32
infant. I'm like dirt and I'm like dust,
38:34
right? I'm like ash.
38:36
You're saying like dirt. He's very, very strong and is to
38:38
be loved and then to no avail at all.
38:42
He doesn't save a single person because it is to be loved.
38:46
This tefillah is brought down as one of our top tefillah in our
38:52
history. You probably have Hannah
38:55
Abraham. It's Hakanako.
38:57
Those are probably the big four of tefillah.
39:00
This tefillah went nowhere. That's strange, Lo.
39:04
We getting saved. Anywhere Lo was getting saved,
39:06
anywhere Abraham play no role in that.
39:08
A lot of big tefillah. I'm sure that's effective and
39:11
one was not affected. So sure, by the way it's going
39:14
on, it's also in the top five. So now my thinking is, is that
39:19
it's the same thing of that theme.
39:22
These in Yanim, these mitzvot are meant to develop us.
39:26
Tivila as well is meant to develop us.
39:29
If it develops and Muna develops connection, it develops
39:32
understanding. And so even though it went
39:34
nowhere, it went everywhere within him.
39:37
The third example I have at the end of the Pasha is Arkady
39:41
Itzhak. Our cadaatalk never happened and
39:44
it stands as our greatest individual mirror of all time.
39:46
It never happened again. God just wants to see how much
39:51
you can expand yourself and develop yourself.
39:53
Usually it's all smoke and mirrors.
39:55
Tests are really smoke and mirrors.
39:58
That's what they are. They just meant to expand you.
