  Madras rubber vagas share #5 The last bit of midrash for this
• 0:06
  week. Interesting verse after the
• 0:08
  initial opening section of the parisha.
• 0:11
  He says, you dabena after Hadava Bosnay adoni.
• 0:14
  May your servant speak a word in my Lords ears.
• 0:19
  It's still a bit of a strange you cancelled the Varai, but
• 0:22
  Oznaka, may my words enter your ears.
• 0:25
  Meaning listen to what I have to say.
• 0:28
  Pay careful attention to what I have to say, for I'm not
• 0:30
  speaking for my sake alone, but for yours as well.
• 0:33
  By taking Benjamin, you're going to be inviting catastrophe as
• 0:38
  the Madras continues. So what did yourself say?
• 0:44
  Zakhanto shows that the grandmother of this little
• 0:48
  child's have this boy Binyamin, the great grandmother of
• 0:51
  Binyamin Alidesham Shem Shaka Parao Laila AKA because Para
• 0:56
  took her for one night there it was just for one night.
• 0:59
  He and his whole household were afflicted with plagues, as it
• 1:04
  says by Nagas Shemet Para and we know and Para shut lecha al
• 1:11
  davar al davar because the matter.
• 1:15
  And that links back to the word davar in our pasuk.
• 1:19
  And when you're says that Ki ha mocha Ki para, you're just like
• 1:22
  Pharaoh. He's saying ha ha all those
• 1:25
  years ago, God's punished Pharaoh.
• 1:26
  You're in line for a beating as well.
• 1:29
  He's a harsh loyal kao Taj. But Sarat, be careful in case
• 1:33
  you be afflicted with Sarat. Then he continues in Marshalsa,
• 1:39
  the mother of this one, Raquel, the mother of Binyamin Mehta,
• 1:43
  she died Ella Mikhala tosh al ABBA because Yaakov had made a
• 1:48
  threatened the curse on anyone who had stolen those idols.
• 1:52
  So just be careful. And from there we have the
• 1:57
  evidences brought to prove this. Imache Tim, Saita Lokahala,
• 2:00
  whoever finds your gods, Mr. Lavan will not live.
• 2:05
  So you just be careful. But a single curse should happen
• 2:08
  to you, you will die. So you know God sorted out fairy
• 2:12
  the first time dad has the power to curse.
• 2:16
  So just be careful. Shnayami menu.
• 2:20
  Two of us, Shimon and Levy Nikhil Sulikra entered a certain
• 2:25
  city the the left space of Shechem and they have revoir.
• 2:30
  They completely destroyed it because of how they attacked
• 2:35
  Dina. You want to attack one of our
• 2:38
  siblings, they'll do the same to you.
• 2:42
  I think there's an assumption here that he's accusing this
• 2:46
  person who he doesn't know is his brother of the of desiring
• 2:49
  to be intimate with Bin Yamin. In the same way that Dina was
• 2:53
  violated, they were going to violate Bin Yamin as well.
• 2:58
  And to continue his thought, I have to come overcome.
• 3:01
  How much more so if you do that to Binyamin who is very much
• 3:04
  beloved in the family, and that the apple of his father's eye,
• 3:07
  etcetera will Shim up and Lavey take down your country as well.
• 3:15
  The commentators explained that Jehuda told yourself about 3
• 3:18
  incidents. The first was to show him that
• 3:21
  he had what to fear from Binyamin alone, for God would
• 3:24
  avenge him. Just that he had avenged his
• 3:26
  grandmother. Sorry.
• 3:28
  The second was to show him that he had also had to be afraid of
• 3:31
  Yaakov, who could curse him, and the last to show that he should
• 3:35
  be afraid of the brothers who might kill him.
• 3:39
  Getting to me, it's really fascinating.
• 3:41
  Again, this mixture of we have faith in Hashem, we have a
• 3:44
  spiritual path that could end in your destruction, but also the
• 3:49
  military side as well. It's not totally, we're going to
• 3:52
  leave it to God to punish you. We will initiate an attack if
• 3:56
  you try and harm our siblings. So it seems all the way back
• 4:00
  already in midrashic thought, the idea of combining the
• 4:03
  spirituality of faith along with practical military attacks is a
• 4:08
  very authentic Jewish approach. And those who understand my last
• 4:12
  comment will understand what I'm saying.
• 4:15
  Have a beautiful day.
