  Madras Rabbit Parishat Shamat Sheikh #2 So this is a
• 0:04
  continuation of yesterday. You missed yesterday.
• 0:06
  Please listen to the first part, says the Madras.
• 0:09
  For cashier Tarbutra Al Batak Betar Shaladam Muhammad Gogu
• 0:13
  Magog. Having a kid who strays into bad
• 0:15
  society is something so severe, so torturous that it's more
• 0:19
  severe than the future war of Gog and Magog, which will be the
• 0:24
  war to end all wars. So it's a torturous experience
• 0:29
  because it says in the pasuk lama ragshu going, why do
• 0:32
  nations gather and regimes talk in vain?
• 0:35
  And then it says later on in the in the text, Hashem maraboutsara
• 0:40
  Hashem, how numerous are my tormentors?
• 0:43
  And this was David when he ran away from his son Al Shalom, who
• 0:47
  tried to take the throne away from his own father.
• 0:49
  And obviously David was tortured by having a son who was
• 0:53
  rebelling against him. So it's a serious problem.
• 0:57
  But hayat Sebasta, David badonia shallor rida, rida who be
• 1:01
  cerebral, or Gabba, David didn't act in a serious way to
• 1:06
  discipline his son Adonia. He also didn't discipline him.
• 1:10
  He didn't scold him and therefore Adonia straight to the
• 1:13
  ways of bad society. All his days.
• 1:16
  His father had never saddened him by saying, why have you done
• 1:20
  this? So again, bad parenting.
• 1:22
  It's very fascinating in our text, all the all our all our
• 1:25
  heroes seem to have a serious issue by being a parent.
• 1:30
  Let's go back to the verse we started with yesterday.
• 1:34
  But oh, Havashi Karam must have you love your child.
• 1:36
  You'll discipline them when they are young.
• 1:38
  Zakhadosh Barku. This actually refers to God, not
• 1:40
  just a deeper level In this verse.
• 1:42
  It's not just a parent, but it refers to Hashem al Shahabachi
• 1:45
  Shah because he loved the Jewish people and it says I have to get
• 1:49
  khama, Hashem, I loved you, says Hashem, a verse in the book of
• 1:52
  Malachi chapter 1, Passalk 2, the Hashem Shahumar Dao tambi
• 1:56
  Sirin. God brings afflictions upon the
• 1:59
  Jewish people as a way of making sure that we go back to the path
• 2:02
  we are meant to be on. The Midrash interpreted the
• 2:06
  puzzle who was referring to Hashem rather than to flesh and
• 2:09
  blood. Because it cannot be said that
• 2:11
  every father who loves his son disciplines him.
• 2:13
  At times it's the father's love for his son that prevents him
• 2:16
  from disciplining him, and therefore you can't make the
• 2:19
  equation that love equals discipline.
• 2:20
  Love could be there even without disciplines.
• 2:23
  That needs to be something that is objective and that would be
• 2:26
  Hashem. So the message goes on to prove
• 2:30
  how beneficial difficulties are. A Talmud says Shalosh Matanat
• 2:35
  Tovataksham gave us 3 gifts and they're all given to us through
• 2:39
  difficulties. Torah Ares you throughout the
• 2:43
  land of Israel and the world to come.
• 2:47
  Because of the greatness of each of these gifts, you have to be
• 2:49
  pure enough to receive them. You can't just give them to any
• 2:52
  schlepper. You have to be worthy.
• 2:54
  In order to be worthy you need to be refined, and in order to
• 2:56
  be refined you need to go through difficulties in order to
• 2:59
  be purified. What's the pasuk?
• 3:03
  The basuk by Torres from the chapter 94 into Helium.
• 3:06
  Ashri Hagever. Praiseworthy is the person or
• 3:09
  fortunate is the person Ashati Yasreenu Young, whom God
• 3:13
  afflicts Umi Toratka Talamudano and whom you teach from your
• 3:17
  Torah, the land of Israel in the back in the Torah now Viadatta
• 3:21
  in Nevavaka, you will know you should know in your heart just
• 3:24
  as the father punishes a son, so aspiram punishes you and then it
• 3:28
  says Kasham's going to bring you to the land.
• 3:30
  And that's a continuation of the concept of punishment
• 3:33
  Haulamahaba the world to come Kinam its father Torah.
• 3:37
  The commandment is a lamp and Torah is a light and diverse
• 3:41
  finishes in in the book of Mitchell and Proverbs and
• 3:43
  reproving discipline is the way of life for Khalami.
• 3:48
  I said, but not everyone who disciplines his child brings
• 3:52
  about that the son will increase his love for his father and he
• 3:55
  will honor him and again, the Midrash here is giving us a lot
• 3:58
  of different Persukim to back that up and just gives examples.
• 4:03
  You find that Ardram Panish Yitzhak and taught him Torah and
• 4:06
  guided him and then the person tells us, Ayla told youth Clark
• 4:11
  Ben Abraham. He was definitely a child of
• 4:14
  Abraham because of this relationship and the measures
• 4:17
  brings other proofs that he's accepted instruction from his
• 4:22
  father. And that's why Yaakov's
• 4:24
  mentioned that pass. Look at the beginning of the
• 4:26
  book of Shamat. It's said by Yaakov, he
• 4:28
  disciplined his sons and he taught them the correct ways.
• 4:32
  And Shalaya bam Basala, there was no undesirable kid amongst
• 4:35
  them, not like Asaph, not like Ishmael.
• 4:37
  And that's why it says that ELA schmut beneath Salah by Mitzrima
• 4:40
  ate Yaakov. They were all like Yaakov, all
• 4:45
  righteous, like Yaakov. And that's why it says that
• 4:50
  Ohavashi Kharomosa, that's it says, but his sons love him
• 4:53
  because he disciplined them in the youth.
• 4:56
  And all that is encoded into those two words.
• 4:59
  It's Yaakov to compare them all to the righteousness of Yaakov,
• 5:02
  bringing out the lesson that parents that discipline will
• 5:05
  have love from their children and their kids will be
• 5:08
  righteous. Have a fantastic day.
