• 0:00
  Midrash Rabba parashat Vayrash chain #2 if you miss yesterday,
• 0:04
  go back because this is the second part and Shlomo
• 0:07
  Shihirolla that tell up in a dashlomo that wanted to cancel a
• 0:10
  letter in the Torah. What does it say about him?
• 0:14
  It's causing in a pasuken Proverbs devrey agur bin yaka.
• 0:20
  These are the words of Agur, the son of Yaka.
• 0:24
  Why Agura? Agura is to collect things.
• 0:26
  He collected the words of the Torah, but Yaka is is related to
• 0:30
  the word to to vomit to be sick. The Hickey on he he puked them
• 0:35
  out because he got rid of the letter you'd in saying I don't
• 0:39
  have to be bound by this injunction not to increase and
• 0:42
  therefore he was called yakka Jakka relates to him and then it
• 0:49
  says no. My gather ETL Davarza Shamar
• 0:55
  Kadoshbar, who meaning the matter that Ashem says lawyer
• 0:59
  Bella Nashim. He shouldn't have too many
• 1:01
  wives. He didn't say it to him.
• 1:03
  He only said it that I wouldn't get distracted and I am ATL God
• 1:08
  is on my side. I'm going to be okay.
• 1:13
  What was the what was the consequence of King Shlama doing
• 1:16
  what he did via he laid Zignard Zignard Shlama Nashav he too at
• 1:20
  lover via his wives did Book of Kings Chapter 11 verse 4.
• 1:24
  His wives did sway his heart to follow other gods and it all
• 1:27
  went very wrong for him. Now Shimon Benioch, I said it
• 1:32
  would have been better for Shlama to have been a sewer
• 1:35
  cleaner where this verse doesn't apply to the average person
• 1:38
  who's not going to marry more lots of wives rather than being
• 1:42
  the king and doing what he did. And that's why Shlomo said.
• 1:50
  Then I turned to myself to see wisdom and madness and folly.
• 1:54
  What was he said on our Shlomo? What was Shlomo saying about
• 1:56
  himself? MAh Shahiti Mahakima Devri Torah
• 2:00
  that what I sought to apply my wisdom to the words of Torah and
• 2:04
  I persuaded myself that I knew, I knew your dad, that Torah, and
• 2:08
  I'm so intelligent and so it's sophisticated and I know exactly
• 2:12
  what God's intending that had been that that understanding of
• 2:16
  that knowledge that I claim was actually Hollywood.
• 2:20
  The cyclot was madness and folly.
• 2:23
  Why was that so? In the end of that pasuk Kim Ki
• 2:27
  naha Adam Shiva karaya mala at the Shekhar asaro.
• 2:31
  For what can man who comes after the king do?
• 2:34
  It's already been done. Meaning, who is it that may be
• 2:39
  qualified to question the characteristics of Hashem?
• 2:42
  Who rules for his methods? Hashem's methods, him,
• 2:47
  Khatsuvim, Milafanov are before Hashem.
• 2:50
  They're exact and precise, carefully hewn out like cut
• 2:54
  stone. And the Madras gives us quite a
• 2:58
  complicated idea that we're not going to elaborate on.
• 3:01
  But there is clearly more to elaborate that before Hashem
• 3:04
  said things he consulted with the angels, which is laden with
• 3:08
  confusion and difficulty making sense of that one.
• 3:10
  But it doesn't really matter. The point being, Shelley fee
• 3:15
  Shehrahati Akhar myself, Solomon said, because I have questioned
• 3:18
  God's actions neer Shalti, I stumbled.
• 3:22
  Let's apply this to Mosher Abe, you know, the end of last week's
• 3:25
  parish, Mosher Abein who opens his mouth to God and says, what
• 3:28
  a heck have you done? I followed you, I listened to
• 3:31
  you. Everything I've done is
• 3:32
  recording to your instructions. And since doing that, everything
• 3:35
  has gone very, very bad. Everything has gone has gone
• 3:38
  worse. But he forgot that Hashem said
• 3:42
  to him, I told you he wasn't going to listen.
• 3:45
  I told you it was going to be difficult.
• 3:46
  I told you everything and you thought you understood
• 3:49
  everything, but you didn't understand anything because I
• 3:55
  what the purpose was that I'm going to exact retribution for
• 3:58
  Pyro and punish him. The Aldov azerbiksha Medat
• 4:04
  Haddin livgabe mushah. So what was the point of Eloukim
• 4:08
  in the opening verse now changing to Hashem?
• 4:10
  Yeah. Medat Haddin, the aspect of just
• 4:13
  a judgement from Hashem, wanted to punish Mushi Rabenu because
• 4:16
  he he didn't speak properly. And then there was a shift that
• 4:22
  shifted to Ani Hashem. First Medat Haddin wanted to
• 4:27
  strike at Mushi Rabenu, but since Hashem saw that Moshe only
• 4:32
  said what he said because he was so broken, so distraught over
• 4:35
  the suffering that came about the Jewish people, because I've
• 4:39
  been a hagimab and me doctor, I'll come in there and Hashem
• 4:42
  behave towards him with mercy and said to him, don't worry Ani
• 4:48
  Hashem, the UK Vavke mercy. And this lengthy Midrash has
• 4:53
  taken us over 9 minutes to understand.
• 4:56
  Almost 10 is how the Midrash, under the shift in the name of
• 4:59
  Hashem, have a great day.
