- 0:00Pull that into the spot in this part of Shark you have Yakov
- 0:06Ave. by Hirakov and Yakov Ave's closing out his life the last 17
- 0:11years where Egypt is 147 years total.
- 0:15The Passo beauty is the word is still a problem on the part of
- 0:18Shark. They never ever go back.
- 0:21That is Israel. Nope.
- 0:22He died there and they he died there and he want they all
- 0:24wanted to go back. I don't know why they ended up
- 0:27saying but the plan was all wrong to go back as but Sakima
- 0:32indicate that was just go there and come back.
- 0:34But he I go there with time. Shibala said Shenoy he lived in
- 0:38the time 17 years. It says his words with he he he
- 0:41may I call Shnek Hayab the Daisy I call for the years of his
- 0:45life, 740 and 147. So dangerous thing is those
- 0:50words He may I call the Daisy I call with the years of his life.
- 0:55So, you know, if you just say the Daisy Arkova, the years of
- 0:58his life, why you saying both? What's with that wording?
- 1:01So the idea they say is that these 17 years in a certain
- 1:04sense were the prime years of his life and the fact that
- 1:09everything came together, most peaceful, most peaceful.
- 1:11No longer did he have any challenge.
- 1:14No longer any story really anymore.
- 1:16It was everything came together and he's good.
- 1:19On top of that, these words flow into the 147, which means these
- 1:2417 peaceful years turn his entire 147 into a full picture.
- 1:30When I called Aveeno met Paro, he said my year is 130 and
- 1:34they're short years and they're painful years.
- 1:35He was very negative. But now it's through these last
- 1:3817 when everything worked out, Nyakov was saying it's the
- 1:42pasuka saying these words. He may akov bethezy akov schnek.
- 1:45I have the years of his life, which means it turned all the
- 1:48years of his life into good years.
- 1:51But on the other hand, you notice there's not much
- 1:55storyline to these 17 years. You don't see much at all about
- 1:59what happened with Y'all Corvin and his sons and his grandsons
- 2:02during these last years anywhere.
- 2:04Nothing, nothing's raining at all.
- 2:05All we know is that if fry him, spend time with him, if I am
- 2:09rather share, if I am more spend time with him.
- 2:11That's all we know. Yosef did not spend time with
- 2:13his father too much that Madash writes the safe, in fact had to
- 2:17be told when his father was sick, had to come visit.
- 2:19Why he didn't want to be alone in a room with his father.
- 2:23According to Madash, because you didn't want his father to have a
- 2:26corner and ask him. So what exactly happened?
- 2:29So he avoided spending too much time alone with his father for
- 2:33the sale. He never wanted his father to
- 2:36ask, According to Madash. And I called him and never knew
- 2:38or how him argues. According to Madash, I called
- 2:40him and never knew how yourself got lost, and so yourself did
- 2:45not want to be cornered alone with his father and for his
- 2:47father to ask. Was your set still low in power
- 2:50like something years? All those years is in power and
- 2:53for longer, very much in power. Why now say this interesting
- 2:56point, Why our Coravino is there these 17 years?
- 2:59Again, there is golden years. They complete the picture, they
- 3:03turn his whole life into a good thing.
- 3:04At the same time, there are years that are not so important
- 3:09in history because nothing happens.
- 3:11And probably that goes hand in hand, which means, although not
- 3:14Corvino had no struggle, which is beautiful, But at the same
- 3:17time, there's no more development.
- 3:19There's no more story. There's no more add on Tommy's
- 3:22sail on to our development. Because when there's no struggle
- 3:25and no story, there's also no development.
- 3:28That's the idea that bastook. So it's a beauty and a
- 3:30limitation at the same time. He wanted answers about his
- 3:32mother too. He gave answers to his son and
- 3:35tried to give answer son about his mother.
- 3:37So then the bastook goes on to the fact that like you sail was
- 3:42soon going to die, which means Akov.
- 3:44You know you find that the change from the name Yaakov, the
- 3:48name Yasail, we have this all the time.
- 3:51But daughter Kaim in the opening is Tahasha.
- 3:54He gives you a rule of thumb as to the name Yaakov, name Yasail.
- 3:58When do you choose which? And the old rule, rule of thumb
- 4:01is Yaakov is lesser of a name than Yasail.
- 4:06Yasail is the complete version. Israel is the name that has
- 4:09Hashem name in it and he sells a higher version.
- 4:11So how do you happen have like he Yakov Yakov live 17 years in
- 4:16the time he's a Yakov and Valiki Vu he was soon going to die.
- 4:20It's his name is so his idea is those 17 years in Egypt to have
- 4:25a similar point. We're not as important as the
- 4:28previous years and they weren't as dutiful because they were in
- 4:32a time and place called Egypt. Although he had his family
- 4:36around Ebenez Great. They are in a pure place called
- 4:38Egypt. They are partial exile, so they
- 4:42called Yakko. What do we change to Israel
- 4:46right before he dies? Has an appointment point on
- 4:49these men, great men. Before they passed away, they
- 4:53gave Ben a heart to their children and grandchildren.
- 4:55Those Ben a heart are an indication they were prophecy.
- 5:00So these men were hit a very spiritual level right before
- 5:05they died, higher than their entire life.
- 5:08So if he could who you may say Lamoud, this man that called
- 5:11Vino also you say, oh, was soon going to die at this stage,
- 5:15right before he's going to die, he has a very high elevated
- 5:18level. That's when he blesses his
- 5:20children and grandchildren at that stage.
- 5:22So he's Yankov in Egypt. There's time, the place not
- 5:26great. He's not in the same predicament
- 5:29as he was earlier. He's not even developing anymore
- 5:31in that sense for us. But right before he dies, he's
- 5:35sail again. Why?
- 5:36Because right before he dies and a special thing come over him,
- 5:39especially in order to bless his children and to prepare for
- 5:44their future. That's all right.
- 5:46Old, but I follow. Prophecy.
- 5:48That's why we say them out loud, so they could be fulfilled.
- 5:52I might when. The light is the capitalists
- 5:55that say he's supposed to or maybe even regular boys.
- 5:58They spoke many blessing kids on Friday nights and should do it
- 6:01out loud because it's a self. That's true.
- 6:08I don't know if he called it nivoire, but it is true that the
- 6:10idea is when you say these words, you're basically bringing
- 6:13them into existence. It's definitely not the opener
- 6:15hot. You're bringing it out there and
- 6:17you developing into existence. A car we knew was also hinting
- 6:21to all things that are going to happen in the future.
- 6:23Everything that he said had different levels to it when he
- 6:26gave these people, but I thought children and grandchildren,
- 6:29there were elements that were based on the past, the present
- 6:32and the future. There was a lot there that's
- 6:34real legitimate prophecy. So now he does the whole thing
- 6:38where the firemen are shared, which is first the storyline of
- 6:43Al Prashais. First, your safe is called in to
- 6:48discuss the burial plans with his father.
- 6:50And I'll call him. He was Adam.
- 6:52He has he buried outside of of Messiah.
- 6:55He cannot be buried here. He has he buried.
- 6:57He cannot. OK, as he says, I'll do it.
- 7:00You swear. I swear instead of says I will
- 7:02do like your words Dodd Zaganin. I'll let us of what says when he
- 7:07says I'll do like you were he was saying I like this idea.
- 7:11I'm going to do the same thing. I too will request that I'm
- 7:15buried outside of the time. The only difference is yeah,
- 7:19Corvis and he buried outside and said well first be placed in the
- 7:22time and then by the Gila they'll take his bones.
- 7:26But he wants the same theme. I like your idea.
- 7:29I want to do the same. But they took his bones, right.
- 7:30I need to take his bones and took all the tribes bones as
- 7:32well. Fine, that's that.
- 7:36Then he talks about the affine and Asceti.
- 7:39He blesses them and then which is the whole story unto itself.
- 7:44And then I want to get to this point.
- 7:46He calls in all the sons. He says these words gathered
- 7:50together. He has who gathered around?
- 7:54And then he says the words catsu, which is also another
- 7:56word for gather. He was his two terminologies
- 7:59together, and he starts to bless them.
- 8:01We'll talk to them individually. What are the 2 terms of Haasu
- 8:06and Tatsu? Haasu means gather from the
- 8:11outside world, which means you guys have to separate yourself
- 8:16from the outside world for starters.
- 8:18Kabzu means join together, become a unit.
- 8:23He's telling his boys, he's telling his family, telling.
- 8:26I'm yourself. There are two things you need to
- 8:29function according to the future.
- 8:31I call as a bearing in the future the two things you need
- 8:33to function as a Jew. There are two requirements.
- 8:35Only two requirements. The very general put the
- 8:38humongous 1. You have to be different than
- 8:41the rest of the world. You have to be yourself.
- 8:42You have to be unique. You Jew 2.
- 8:46As a Jew you need to get along with other ones.
- 8:49So gather away for the rest of the world and gather together
- 8:52join together with each other. These are my requests is what
- 8:57he's telling his sense very broad requests a very powerful
- 9:00request be a Jew. I get along with Jews.
- 9:04These are the two big horns and then he tells them the brahot
- 9:09and he identifies each child's special strengths, each child's
- 9:13unique ability. We'll talk about invention one
- 9:15on the be in a second. But in general he gives each
- 9:18child their own unique strengths.
- 9:20I wondered how does telling them their strengths play into that
- 9:25picture of gather away from the rest of the world and join
- 9:30together again, separate from the world because you're a Jew
- 9:34and have our Dutt as one and then he tells each child of
- 9:37their strengths. It could be the night related,
- 9:39but I think this is dark relation.
- 9:41Here's how it goes. In order for you to be different
- 9:44than us in the world, number one, you need to know your
- 9:46strengths. You need to know your
- 9:48individuality or makes you special.
- 9:51You're not like everybody else. Part 1.
- 9:54Part 2. In order for you to have Shalom,
- 10:00you also need to know your strengths.
- 10:03What does that mean? Part of the reason that so many
- 10:05people have competition is because we think we're all the
- 10:09same war, chasing the scene, goals all in the same fight.
- 10:14Fight in a family specifically, and the community as well.
- 10:17Whatever it may be, the more we think we are the same, the more
- 10:21there's a competitive angle and the more there's a star book.
- 10:24So by telling his voice telling the tribes Echo Ave. telling
- 10:29these two points, one, you're an individual.
- 10:32Two, you're an individual. The same point.
- 10:34It hates both targets directly. How when you're an individual,
- 10:38you're not like the rest of the world.
- 10:41When you're that's step one. You're a Jew.
- 10:43You're unique when you're an individual.
- 10:46You also don't need to be exactly the same as your
- 10:49sibling, your cousin, your community member, because you
- 10:52have your own unique track. So he hits the target on these
- 10:55two points by identifying for each member of his children,
- 10:59each one of his children, and they are individuals.
- 11:02And to me, the point is takeaways.
- 11:04When a person identifies his strengths and when he feels
- 11:08comfortable his own skin or if he feels like he has a spot that
- 11:12is uniquely his, that he has an ability, he has the capability
- 11:17of being something strong. He separates something as the
- 11:21world. I don't need to be like everyone
- 11:22else. I'm not a copycat because I'm
- 11:24unique and I don't need to compete with the other guy
- 11:27because I'm unique. These two points are the same
- 11:29and the both equally powerful. When the person recognizes just
- 11:33how strong his individuality is, he doesn't feel like a copycat
- 11:37doesn't need to be a copycat. Like we said last week the
- 11:40Saturday night, one of the reasons a people are so highly
- 11:44impressionable is because they don't really feel like they have
- 11:47anything special to offer. The more you feel like you're
- 11:50something special, you don't feel like being everyone else
- 11:53just the way you are. At the same time, one of the
- 11:56reasons there are fights and these types of units and because
- 12:00it's competition, the more you feel like you have your corner
- 12:04that is yours that will never be touched and the other person has
- 12:06their corner that is there is that also you're not going to
- 12:09touch. You have a degree of Shalom.
- 12:11It's not the source of all fights, but it is the source of
- 12:14many struggles, which is the feeling like you and I are the
- 12:17exact same. So after the exact same angle,
- 12:20after the exact same credit and the exact same status, the more
- 12:24we realize we're individuals. You create these two shrinks on
- 12:28Misanis throughout the entire Galoops, the two shrinks and
- 12:32you'll see now Prasha over and over again, if you identify are
- 12:36we're individual and you're not like him.
- 12:39You're unique, but you don't have his uniqueness.
- 12:42That's a strength and a weakness at the same time.
- 12:44But it's yours. It's your corner.
- 12:46And because it's your corner, you don't feel like letting go
- 12:50of your strengths. You're not interested in being
- 12:52like anybody else, but at the same time you don't feel like
- 12:55competing against other person because that's their track.
- 12:57I have mine, right? It's a general concept, but it
- 13:00was the makeup bombing sale. If you go through the depth,
- 13:03This is why we have the flags of the four camps of the Jewish
- 13:06people when they travelled, because everyone's got their own
- 13:09identity. Every tribe has their own unique
- 13:11strength. This is the idea, That's the
- 13:13theme. He does it with If I am and I
- 13:15share his grandchildren, your safe children, and he does it
- 13:18with the tribes just to have my home.
- 13:20This point, it's a beautiful point on this concept.
- 13:23First of all, you hear this concept.
- 13:25You hear it. The need for individuality and
- 13:28the power that it gives you a qualifier telling your sons just
- 13:32to ham home on this concept, when he tells the revenge.
- 13:35She wanted Livy. More importantly, she wanted
- 13:37Livy. Those do not.
- 13:39Those sons do not really get a blessing.
- 13:41They get admonishment. What does he say to them?
- 13:44He says these words. But they there was.
- 13:48Yeah. Relying what they do with Shev
- 13:50abandoned he says he talks about over and he talks about Luvan
- 14:00each brother know. What the other brothers God
- 14:02bless with or that you said they.
- 14:03All there together. The blessings were all in front
- 14:05of everybody. All together.
- 14:07So that could causes a jealousy between the ones that brought
- 14:11it. Well, the first one didn't get
- 14:12blessed and there's a challenge, true, but ultimately I had some
- 14:15you doubt, he said. You know, Daddy said.
- 14:17I'm going to be the. King, Yeah.
- 14:18Sharks. Was part of the reason why you
- 14:20died backed away? He died backed away because he
- 14:23believed that what happened was through vanguard admonishment
- 14:27for his haste. Shimon Levy got admonishment for
- 14:31they're getting involved in Shechem and they're fighting of
- 14:34Shechem sober and selling of yourself if you if you go with
- 14:37them and dash. So if they knew about it, I
- 14:40could knew about it. So now you dies #4 and he starts
- 14:44to back away or she writes, he starts to back away and I go up
- 14:48and tell us and come close. I'm not going to give you the
- 14:51same yell as I did the other two.
- 14:52I'll see him. So they all got in front of each
- 14:55other, which to our previous point was the point that so and
- 14:59so has a strength that's not yours.
- 15:00Don't try to take it. One of the big things and is my
- 15:03ultimate .1 of the big issues that people have in life is
- 15:06trying to be like the other person.
- 15:08Somehow, some way, we want to be good at everything.
- 15:11Over time in life, you start to realize it's not a knock on you
- 15:16when I tell you that you're not #1 basketball player or you're
- 15:21not #1 football player. Whatever it is, you don't have
- 15:24to be the best in everything. It's not a knock on you, doesn't
- 15:27take away, doesn't mean that you're weak just because it's
- 15:29actually a joke. It's actually immature when
- 15:33people believe that they're good at everything, when people want
- 15:36to have a title that I am everything, right?
- 15:40Exactly. It takes him down.
- 15:42It does take him down. It's his weakest whatever.
- 15:44It's pressure. It's.
- 15:45One of his kryptonite on the kids.
- 15:46Today, yeah, I was watching a kids basketball game.
- 15:49One of the Toshiba's and the best player on the team, they
- 15:53shot him down. He missed a bunch of shots in
- 15:55the fourth quarter. Historical cry, Rapid yield.
- 15:58No, no. It was like you, you know, and
- 16:00they put all this pressure on the kid out because the captain
- 16:02in the butt, you know, and the other guy, the second guy had
- 16:05more points than him and he's having fun.
- 16:09Right, so that that kid makes some sense because his identity
- 16:11became the best vote plays and the more you have only your
- 16:15identity is Here's the thing. I am never allowed.
- 16:19If you take a person who has cornered his style and mold in
- 16:24life and he believes he has a certain identity and you hack at
- 16:27it, you are destroying their existence and their life is over
- 16:31in their mind. Literally, you tell a person
- 16:33that's a, you have a guy who his job in a certain industry, in a
- 16:38certain company is he's the best, he's the best seller in
- 16:43the company, he's the best, right?
- 16:45Whatever may be. And you hack it and you say we
- 16:47don't need you anymore. Your role is not really
- 16:50necessary. We have AI, whatever it is, the
- 16:53antivirus, if not just OK, you're not so valuable in that
- 16:56area. You are taking away his essence.
- 16:59That's because of the same concept the other way, which is
- 17:02as much as we need to identify, you have yours, I have mine.
- 17:05If you take away from mine, I'm done.
- 17:09It's a killer for me. That's how it works.
- 17:11See I call Vino tells his second and third son, Shimon Olivia,
- 17:15listen to me tell. See how he said these words?
- 17:19Shimon Bolivia, who were the ones who picked up the swords
- 17:24and forged her hand physical? He says, Ahim, you guys are
- 17:28brothers. You're the same Clare Hamas.
- 17:32Clare Hamas, which means, as she writes, you stole.
- 17:38You stole the style of murder. Oh, not Zozo de sica.
- 17:44This style of murdering Hamas si biethrim, it's harshal meberhat
- 17:52E sabi. It's not yours.
- 17:53It's a Saab style. Oh, not jalohi.
- 17:56It's a Saab's trait. The tem Hamas, Tem O Taimano and
- 18:02you guys, Harshad from E Saab Shimon Levi.
- 18:05You killed out a city. I know you did in defense of
- 18:08your sister. I know you did it as you wanted
- 18:11to defend our honor. You did it in my eyes.
- 18:12Jacobina was not happy about it, clearly.
- 18:15But he says the words. You guys stole the style.
- 18:18So the question is, that's your admonishment.
- 18:21Tell them all right, you guys are murderers.
- 18:22Tell them all right, You did the wrong thing.
- 18:24Call all you want. Not murders.
- 18:25Yeah, murders. Whatever it is.
- 18:27Why does he talk about the hush? But the answer is, is literally
- 18:31all the team. He's telling them the problem.
- 18:34That bothers me. The issue at hand is the fact
- 18:38that you didn't act like you choose selves.
- 18:41You weren't your true selves. You guys are tribes.
- 18:44You guys are my sons. You are special people.
- 18:47That we will be the tribe of all service of Hashem.
- 18:50This is not your way. You acted like somebody else and
- 18:55that is why it went so wrong. Why did he go so off the rails?
- 18:59Because you weren't being your true selves.
- 19:02Kili. Hamas Hamar Pinhas did the right
- 19:07thing. Pinhas was being himself and
- 19:09that's also why. And it's the key thing.
- 19:12When you act like someone you're not, you do it the wrong way.
- 19:15You do it in a weird way. Shamor Levy act like someone
- 19:18that did not trying to have the bravado of ESAP for the sake of
- 19:22the family's cavort did something their Khavi is not
- 19:26happy about. Pinhas who did the right thing
- 19:29at the right time with the right mindset.
- 19:32He hit the target perfectly and then he stopped because he was
- 19:37dealing with our reason. He did it the right way.
- 19:39That was perfect. Shrem fisherman Levy was I
- 19:42right? Why it's not, It's not
- 19:44considered right because it wasn't that style and that's the
- 19:48key thing. The key thing is person needs to
- 19:52recognize who he is, what he is, what are his strengths and leave
- 19:57those strengths and don't try to be someone you're not.
- 20:01Now you say to yourself, what do you mean?
- 20:02But they tell us in every speech, I should be a good
- 20:04learner and a good prayer and a good balch, I said, and a good
- 20:07husband and a good father and all those things.
- 20:10Maybe that's not what I am. The answer is that as a Jew in
- 20:14general, you have the qualities and the capability to do all the
- 20:18basics and do them all well. But you will maybe be a certain
- 20:24kind of father and you will maybe learn certain types types
- 20:28of things and you will have a certain angle of prayer or a
- 20:31certain kind of headset that talks to you.
- 20:33That's fine. That's perfectly fine.
- 20:36A person has to get you're real with himself and to recognize I
- 20:39have a mold. The less you feel you have a
- 20:42mold, the less you're significant in your mind and the
- 20:46more you're able to be an adopter of someone else's stuff.
- 20:49No good. The more you recognize you have
- 20:51a mold and just how you know as somebody else ask an outsider,
- 20:56you know so and so and they can tell you clearly how do you want
- 20:59of a kind? Everyone of us tell ourselves we
- 21:03were really realized often how unique we are to this, to the
- 21:07world, to the street, to our community, whatever it is to out
- 21:10there. We are very clearly unique and
- 21:14we are nothing like our neighbor.
- 21:15Nothing at all fair Joe, you are nothing like as is the the whole
- 21:21room. Nobody's like each other at all,
- 21:24right? And then you say to yourself on
- 21:25your own angle, you think, listen, abilities, everybody has
- 21:28different. They've been trained and this
- 21:30should be different, you know, right.
- 21:33And this should give you a sense of comfort.
- 21:35It should give you a sense of purpose.
- 21:37Sensitive meaning less of a need to compete.
- 21:41Because if I, I want to come realize that I want to be like
- 21:43them, you're never going to be like them and you never want to
- 21:45be like them. You are you trying to be like
- 21:48them is like Shamo and they be trying to be like a sob for
- 21:52their family's sake. It's just not your way.
- 21:54It doesn't fit and it's going to be the same way.
- 21:57If you put on someone else's suit, it's not going to fit.
- 21:58It's going to be the wrong size, right When you do this, you try
- 22:03to wear someone else's style. It's not going to fit and it's
- 22:06going to be funny. Instead, be you and you
- 22:10recognize what is you, you, your identity is I'm bringing right
- 22:15how your parents train you, the schools that you went to to wrap
- 22:19up the year round, the marriage that you have, the children that
- 22:22you have, the work, the line of work that you're in, even the
- 22:25city that you live in, you live in Brooklyn different than Neil.
- 22:27It's a whole different world. Everything is a mold and you
- 22:31live that mold and you feel perfectly content and happy in
- 22:34that mold. And it doesn't mean you're not
- 22:36highly motivated. You're highly motivated to do
- 22:38more of you, but you're not highly motivated to be like
- 22:41somebody else and had your strengths.
- 22:43Yeah, exactly. And every time something in your
- 22:45mind says I want to, I want to do its own.
- 22:47So it does. You don't want to do what they
- 22:49do because you want to be like yourself.
- 22:51You have many role models, that's for sure.
- 22:53I'd be like is hammering home this concept to his sons and his
- 22:58grandsons. And he gives each one their own
- 23:01identical strength. He can imagine when he's telling
- 23:03you die, you're the king, right? He's telling Levy what they are.
- 23:09You die. He tells them the king.
- 23:11He doesn't want you die to run the Bethany dodge.
- 23:14You can imagine if someone's told I'm the king, maybe I
- 23:18should run the Bethany dodge too.
- 23:20No, maybe I should happen a different a different job.
- 23:24Why is he telling them? The only the king telling him
- 23:26don't get out of your lane at all is the idea.
- 23:31This is the theme in Altar Shot overall, and like I say, I
- 23:34believe it leads to two points that we spoke about. 1 is that
- 23:39you remain identified. You don't assimilate to the
- 23:42world because I was special. Two, you have Shalom when it
- 23:46comes to competition. You're not like anybody else.
- 23:49Because I'm special, I don't need to be like anyone else.
- 23:51It's only when a person doesn't see his unique strengths, only
- 23:57then as a person easily affected by this.
- 24:02Why? Because I'm able to be like
- 24:05anyone else, nothing special about me, right?
- 24:08So why should I? You know, a kid goes off to
- 24:10college as parents hope and pray he remains the same kid, right?
- 24:15And they expect him to have certain strengths and certain
- 24:18control out there. And the number one angle to do
- 24:21so, You can't be with him. You can't be in this year.
- 24:25You can't switch the bass with him.
- 24:26The best thing that he has going, fam, is his pride of
- 24:30member of his family, pride of him as a community.
- 24:32If you lose that, you're about the kid, right?
- 24:35And and that's the challenge. But that's the only way he has a
- 24:38chance. The chance is because of that
- 24:40pride. I have something special.
- 24:42And when a bunch of siblings are are in the same family and
- 24:45they're trying to get along, leave money out of it, trying to
- 24:48get along, right? Money is a whole different
- 24:50animal. But once you're dealing with
- 24:51just getting along, what do you have?
- 24:53You have a Shabbat table and one person who can advocate a
- 24:56working advice, never the other person, right?
- 24:59Is he? Does he feel very small?
- 25:01How does he make himself feel big?
- 25:03He says to himself, I have this spot, I have this corner.
- 25:07My mother listens to me. She doesn't listen to the other
- 25:09one. I, I have the right advice in
- 25:12this area. They come to me for this party.
- 25:16They they ask of me when it comes to this, and if you take
- 25:19away those spots, you're taking away their essence and their
- 25:23existence and then you are hacking at Shalom.
- 25:26But as long as you provide the person literally the smallest
- 25:29thing, as long as someone has a role in any unit, it could be a
- 25:32tiny role. He could be the person whom you
- 25:36go to and you want to know how to set a table.
- 25:38Which girl do I ask? Ask that girl right, How to make
- 25:42a party. Ask that girl how where should
- 25:44we be going on vacation? Yes, the other sister, whatever
- 25:48may be you involve each person has a role you create the
- 25:51cohesive unit and you create something beautiful and a coffee
- 25:54was doing that with his chosen right here.
- 25:56And like you said, he's telling one son he strengths in front of
- 26:00the other one. What is he telling to the other
- 26:02one? Why do I have to hear about you
- 26:03da? I don't need to know where you
- 26:05does because you need to know your dad's got his role.
- 26:08Let him have let him hold on to his role.
- 26:10You can create show him that way.
- 26:12So that's the two things in our pressure.
- 26:13I think overrule if you paint more stroke not many details
- 26:17about which we did over sugar a broad stroke.
- 26:21These are the 2 themes. Every person has to have a very
- 26:25clear identity and every person has to accept the fact that this
- 26:29is only my corner and therefore I'm not going to try to be.
- 26:35I tell the guy join with me on this one.
- 26:37Yes accepted. Very.
- 26:39True. I think that creates A mole and
- 26:43a unit, and I'm a sail. There are different types of
- 26:46fights among the Jewish people. He's not addressing those.
- 26:48He's not addressing different layers of Jews, different
- 26:51beliefs. He can't address that with this
- 26:54culture. He's addressing different styles
- 26:57that get you nervous, which means there's different Shalom
- 26:59issues, bigger ones, which you can't deal with.
- 27:01What was the difference? There's about the ego in the
- 27:04Galva, right? So now this actually ego in
- 27:07Galva is addressed in this. I guess beliefs.
- 27:11Right. Your overall beliefs, you can't
- 27:14address that and there's a challenge this type of you need
- 27:20a different stroke to create show over there monetary issues
- 27:25so that. 1 is a very common 1 today the.
- 27:27Money 1 is only. The worst case scenario, they
- 27:30never talk again. Oh, you know, he wheels a
- 27:34stroller to a mom's house. I'm going to come the second
- 27:36day. You know, that those people he.
- 27:38What happens what was real there?
- 27:40I've been my family, you know, Yeah.
- 27:42So like what? What happens there?
- 27:44Because. Technically the.
- 27:46Guy's not roll right? It's the higher Rd. don't but
- 27:50but we do. And and there's what they rely
- 27:52on now you're putting like the parents in this.
- 27:57Puzzle, war, life, yes, and there you have different types
- 27:59of shaloms. This type in Alba Rashad is
- 28:03clear. It's difficult.
- 28:04You have to be humble to accept the Alba Rashad style.
- 28:07You have to be a little bit realizing you have your
- 28:11strengths, the other guy as his. That's one kind of Shalom.
- 28:13The Shalom you're referring to requires character and that
- 28:17requires a bill and the ability to accept.
- 28:21And that acceptance is and I want, do I want to sacrifice
- 28:23Shalom or do I not? That's that.
- 28:26Do I want to be quiet in my opinions or do I want to be loud
- 28:31and create proverbs? That's that.
- 28:34That's even Shalom. That's a very difficult Shalom.
- 28:36True 100%. That's a Shalom.
- 28:39That's a Cora Vino is dealing with twelve sons, assuming going
- 28:43with the back at all on the same level religion and they're also
- 28:48going to have these twelve son and 12 tribes, no monetary
- 28:52challenge. They can have the Khalaqim in
- 28:53Israel and that's it. So he's dealing with just solely
- 28:58the ego challenge of Shalom and we addressed it.
- 29:01You're right, ABI Shalom requires Mihila.
- 29:04It requires letting things go, requires being so, you know, not
- 29:08speaking everything out and developing no way of thinking.
- 29:11My humble opinion is you do what you do, they do what they do.
- 29:14Why does it have to matter, Hashem?
- 29:15Doesn't need us to fight his no battles.
- 29:18In general, always I don't see a reason.
- 29:20My bodies say it all the time. He needs to say about different
- 29:22hashtag 4 things you say. You don't need to get up there
- 29:25and the pulpit and yell and scream.
- 29:28He would say just build your way and watch.
- 29:32It'll see you say it to some. Be the best that you could be.
- 29:36No, I'm saying yes, but as we don't want to be medium, you
- 29:38know, you have to be determined. I want to be good, 100% be good
- 29:41what I do. But even when it comes to our
- 29:43Shafa issues and there's something that's approaching
- 29:46life that other people are approaching one way and you know
- 29:49it's wrong, you know hold of it. It's bothering you.
- 29:51And there are times when they spread it across the Jewish
- 29:53world and that gets you nervous. I hear that it's a different
- 29:56story. Sometimes you have to speak out.
- 29:58But when they're doing theirs and you're doing yours, as long
- 30:01as you do yours, well, watch, nothing's gonna happen wrong
- 30:04from there doing there. It's not gonna affect you at all
- 30:07and won't even affect the community negatively if you let
- 30:09it go. That's the ID.
