• 0:00
  Madras rubbish Parish Yitra after a little break last week
• 0:04
  that's learned the pasuk today with the Madras by Ishma Yitra.
• 0:08
  Yitra heard and he came to the Jewish people.
• 0:10
  We're not entirely sure when he came.
• 0:11
  Did he come before the giving of the Torah or after the giving of
• 0:14
  the Torah? That is a secondary point raised
• 0:18
  by the commentators. But before we understand the
• 0:21
  that that discussion, let's look at a pasuk in the book of
• 0:24
  Proverbs. Raha, your friend, the raha
• 0:28
  vihar, the friend of your father, altars of do not
• 0:32
  forsake. So who is the raha?
• 0:35
  The raha, the friend here is Hashem, the raha, the the raha
• 0:41
  Vihar, the friend of your father is Avraham.
• 0:44
  So our relationship with Hashem is both our own relationship
• 0:48
  with Hashem is our friend and he's the friend of our father
• 0:51
  Avraham. And we must not forsake them.
• 0:56
  We must not forsake him. But what if you do?
• 0:58
  What if you do abandoned Hashem, Vimal zafta.
• 1:01
  And if you did abandoned Hashem and you forgot about your
• 1:04
  relationship, then make be careful.
• 1:06
  But the verse continues, don't go into the House of your
• 1:10
  brother on the day of your misfortune.
• 1:12
  Who are the brothers here? That is the other side of the
• 1:14
  family, Asaph and Ishmael. And says Rabbi Yashor Ben Levi,
• 1:18
  when the Bukhar netsa exiled the Jewish people to Bavel while our
• 1:22
  hands were tied behind our back. And in response to that
• 1:28
  incident, Hashem says in the measure continues, your father
• 1:34
  Keshayam Mushlachbamidbah, when he had been cast off in the
• 1:37
  wilderness, I opened the well of water for him.
• 1:40
  But tamasita and kakhan, you did this to the Jewish people.
• 1:45
  So it says Tov shahen karav mehrak, a close neighbor is
• 1:52
  better than a distant brother. So that's one interpretation of
• 2:01
  that verse. Let's go for Davao, let's keep
• 2:04
  going. Tob Shahen Karovatta, a close
• 2:07
  neighbor. Who Yitra?
• 2:10
  This is referring to Yitra shayat rakhlestraal men Asaf
• 2:17
  Arkham Shalakov. So Yitra was unrelated to the
• 2:22
  Jewish people, and he was better than Asaf, the brother of Yakov,
• 2:28
  the Yitra marketeer. What did they say about Yitra?
• 2:32
  By Yomesh Olala Kaini was a Canite and by Asaf, what does it
• 2:37
  say? Zahar ET Asha Salah Al Malik,
• 2:41
  Remember what Al Malik did to you?
• 2:44
  So by Yitra, his people acted kindly to the Jewish people when
• 2:48
  they came out of Egypt. And Yitra and Al Malik's people
• 2:51
  attacked us when we came out of Egypt.
• 2:54
  More than that, Atamil said to Varim Rabin.
• 2:56
  You can find many things that are written regarding Asavin and
• 3:00
  negatively and written regarding Yitra in a complimentary way
• 3:04
  regarding Asavit, says Nashimbut Sion inu they ravaged women in
• 3:10
  Zion and Theum and Yitra by Yitenit Siporabito.
• 3:13
  He gave his daughter Siporabito the Asavit says Oakley AMI
• 3:19
  Ahlulakham, who devour my people as they would devour bread over
• 3:25
  yitro. It says Q analog, go and call
• 3:27
  mosher. Are they new and feed him, give
• 3:29
  him some bread. The ace of it says below your
• 3:32
  rail or Kim. He did not fear that was our
• 3:36
  malaik did not fear Hashem or the yitrogative.
• 3:39
  Hi Lokim and God shall command you.
• 3:42
  Asaf beetle at carbonate. Asaf eliminated the sacrifices
• 3:46
  in the Yitro by Acaihitro Katamocho Lance Vahim Yutro took
• 3:50
  carbonate ASAP. Shamar beats Yatanchali Israel
• 3:54
  ASAP heard of the exodus of the people of Israel and decided to
• 3:56
  fight with them. And Yatra heard the Shiv
• 4:00
  Kanchali Israel of the glory of the Jewish people of Vavanid Bak
• 4:04
  Ibrahim and he came close to us. Righteousness and right living
• 4:11
  doesn't come necessarily or always or even at all from
• 4:16
  family connections or who your Mishbaka is at all, but it comes
• 4:20
  from the choices and the actions that a person makes.
• 4:23
  As we see here, Yatra was not a family member, but he came to
• 4:28
  honour the Jewish people, to honour Hashem, and therefore
• 4:31
  Yatra is the good guy and parts of the family members of our of
• 4:34
  our ancestors that didn't follow that particular path are
• 4:38
  rejected and are dealt with in the derogatory way by the
• 4:43
  Midrash. My friends, have a wonderful
• 4:46
  day.
