It's Friday is your daughter for the center of v8c.
0:06
Whenever we get told the character in the home that she's
0:09
doing something that we all do, and it's sort of an ordinary
0:13
human thing in, the question is, why is the terror informing us?
0:16
Because it's obvious that someone eats or someone does
0:19
something very physical. And, in our case this week,
0:23
Yakov goes to sleep, the rabbi's in the measures tell us that for
0:27
many years, he didn't sleep, he was studying, whatever.
0:31
He was studying, spiritual teachings, God, whatever that
0:34
meant in the time of your cock. And this was the first time in
0:39
in it in 14 years that he probably fell asleep.
0:43
We all know the story that he was asleep and he had this dream
0:46
of a ladder and on a very sort of simple psychological Point as
0:52
a refugee, the psychology would be, he just wants somewhere to
0:55
escape. His life.
0:57
Is all that is left is pair of left his home was a penniless
1:01
wandering Refugee. His future looks really bleak
1:06
The ladder would suggest he's looking for a way out cuz get me
1:09
out of this world. Then that dream of Chantels and
1:14
wonderful things, he will be with him.
1:16
He will look after him and he wakes up in his dream and he
1:19
feels that his in a place, which is Deeply spiritual and that
1:24
that explains his dream. Then something happens after the
1:29
text tells us, but he woke up and he knew he was dreaming
1:32
because then we're told he gets up in the morning and here's my
1:36
problem. How on Earth do you go back to
1:40
sleep? After such a drink They either
1:45
text and tells us he woke up in the morning out when he wakes up
1:49
in the morning he immediately dedicates that speeds and puts
1:52
together some stones on Paul's Oil over than the consecrates
1:54
the place. And he recognizes that this
1:56
could be this is the site of the future house of Hashem.
2:01
But what enables you To go back to sleep after that experience.
2:09
Can you know, was he not agitated?
2:13
No week two possibilities. Did he not want to get up and do
2:17
a little dance like? Okay this is going to be fine.
2:19
I might want to escape in the ladder, is a symbol of trying to
2:22
get away from things, but I don't meet a lot of because I've
2:25
got God on my site. Whatever other situations when
2:30
the type tells us that somebody wakes up early, and I would
2:32
never ever and wakes up early to go and carry out the Ikeda.
2:37
See it in the text says, you know, he have run was so
2:39
dedicated to the word of God. He got up at the very first
2:43
moment. And there is well, it's like how
2:46
do you go to sleep during that night?
2:50
What I've ROM is doubling for Saddam and he exhorts all
2:53
possibilities and he to gets up in the morning and he sees
2:58
what's going on. So what does it mean that?
3:04
How did he do it? So my suggestion might be like
3:09
this. Having faith in Hashem.
3:14
Having a connection to Hashem. Ought to mean something for the
3:19
way a person lives their life. It's not just something like oh
3:23
I believe and therefore I'm taking all the right boxes.
3:27
But that belief ought to bring us.
3:31
A real sense of inner calm, and peace.
3:34
I think it's precisely in those moments.
3:36
When a person would be in most agitated other on ought to have
3:40
been most agitated by the concept of having to slaughter
3:43
his child. After doubling his heart out for
3:47
Saddam, you should have been most agitated.
3:50
The archive here should have been agitated and often
3:52
agitation and distress and worry leads to wanting to be in bed.
3:57
Not wanting to get up wanting to run away.
4:00
Not what by Yash game is always at Sunset by the rabbi's.
4:03
Has he got up early, he seized the moment.
4:08
That's what the terrorists telling us, that somebody who
4:10
has that intimate connection with Hashem.
4:14
What does that do for such a positive?
4:16
It enables them to get up in the morning.
4:19
It allows you to face the day. Maybe there's the challenge.
4:22
For all of us to challenge to see what, what is the actual
4:25
what is the true nature of what a person says I believe in God,
4:30
I'm a religious Jew. What is the nature of that
4:34
relationship? Does that our relationship
4:37
enable us to be people who are able to sleep peacefully?
4:44
Knowing that Hashem is in control.
4:46
That's part one to go back to sleep or to go to sleep after
4:50
being challenged by something and then finally, number two, it
4:54
would mean by Yash claim that when you've gone through that
4:57
peaceful night's sleep, you are able to get up and you want to
5:01
get up because, you know, ultimately Really it will all be
5:03
okay. Have a good day and the
5:05
wonderful shops.
