Eli MenagedHOST
So really, the Parsha, the Torah, should have been the Parsha of Vayishma.
Eli MenagedHOST
Just like we have a Vayetz and a Vayishlach, the parasha of the Torah should have really been Vayishma.
Eli MenagedHOST
Because that's the main idea of the Torah.
Eli MenagedHOST
We have to listen.
Shnayor BurtonHOST
And from whom did Yaakov receive the name Yisroel? Well, the answer is from a Malach, but also from Kirshaka.
Shnayor BurtonHOST
This takes us back to the parashat Vayishlach, of course, where it says, after Yaakov wrestled with the Malach, it says, Ma shemecha v'yomer Yaakov v'yomer lo Yaakov v'yomer tshimcho ki'im Yisroel.
Shnayor BurtonHOST
So there's a kriyas sheim of the malach to Yaakov.
Shnayor BurtonHOST
And there it says, So there's a calling by name and a blessing to Yaakov from the malach.
Shnayor BurtonHOST
Now let's read some of the apostolic insight.
Shnayor BurtonHOST
Vayishlach.
Shnayor BurtonHOST
So Vayishlach, why does it say he stretched it out? Because he has to reach across.
Shnayor BurtonHOST
Vayoshes.
Shnayor BurtonHOST
We spoke about Vayoshes.
Yaakov WolbeHOST
Retribution will indeed come for them, and therefore it's better for you to avoid such interactions.
Yaakov WolbeHOST
So to conclude, with this week's Parsha in Vayishlach, Jacob sends a message to Esau.
Yaakov WolbeHOST
And right at the beginning of the Parsha, Im Lavan Garti, I lived with Lavan, with Laban, and now I'm coming to visit you.
Yaakov WolbeHOST
And we know they have this sort of climactic reunion, Jacob and his brother, who had pledged to kill him 30 years prior.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
Yaakov Avinu is the Kadesh.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
And this explains us a new insight into what Rashi says on the possegim, Lovangarti, the beginning of Vayishlach.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
Even though I lived with Lavan and I was so busy and Lavan is a Ramay, nevertheless I still But according to what we're saying, it's a whole new insight.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
So once Yaakovini reached the Shleimus in the Kadesh Atzmecha, Mimele through living with Lavan, Mimele was mamshach upon himself all the mitzvahs.
Simon JacobsonHOST
A Tzadik is mamash serving God with Avodat Hinugim, with tremendous pleasure from Etzema Nefesh.
Simon JacobsonHOST
And ultimately, briefly, the answer is, it's in the Gemara, it's in the thirteenth Gemara, in the Gemara of Vayishlach, Samech Vav, because the distress, sar, the distress causes more power than pleasure.
Simon JacobsonHOST
That's ultimately the point.
Simon JacobsonHOST
So his sense of distress, which doesn't have any Gileim at all, because it's all lacking, he feels the distance, that creates a tremendous leap, as he puts it.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
[in foreign language] and they're right next to one another, so it's not c- considered too much of a Tircha.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
Ma Shekasu, uh, and then pa-- totally parenthetically, just because this is the best place to talk about Haftaras, but not because this relates to anything the Shulchan Aruch says, the Mishberura points out, Ma Shekasu B'chumashim, Haftaros Vayishlach, Vayeverach Yaakov who taught us the fact that in Chumashim it's printed that the Haftarah Vayishlach is, Vayeverach Yaakov is a mistake.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
[In foreign language] That's really the Haftarah for Parshas Va-Vayeitzei until the end of Hoshea [in foreign language] that-- and then y-you don't finish off at the end of Hoshea, you finish off with a few Psukim from Yoel.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
[in foreign language] The reason we don't finish off with the end of Hoshea is because you're supposed to conclude with the Davar Tov, [in foreign language] and the end of Hoshea is [in foreign language] which is not a Davar Tov for the Jewish people, so therefore we, uh, throw in some Psukim from Yoel.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
[In foreign language] So what then is the Haftarah for Vayishlach? [In foreign language] The Gra says that we lain Chazon Ovadyah [lip smack] for, uh, Vayishlach.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
Now says the Shulchan Aruch further now, so those are the Talas D'parnusa.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
Shivat Tanchumta, the seven Haftaras of Nechama are Nachamu, Va'etchanan, Ani Le'sara, Anochi, Rani Hakara, Kumi Ori, Sos Asis.
7 MINS LATER
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
There's a machloket when there's a, a Shabbos between, uh, um, between Yom Kippur and Sukkot, whether we should save teshuva for that and lane Dirshu on the previous Shabbos, but we don't.
Moshe TaraginHOST
Just if you're following, the Ramban says this four times, al haTorah.
Moshe TaraginHOST
Once in Parshah Vayishlach, where Yaakov solicits Esav, Vayishlach malachim el Esav achiv.
Moshe TaraginHOST
And the Ramban says, "Maybe this shouldn't have happened.
Moshe TaraginHOST
Maybe you shouldn't poke the bear.
Simon JacobsonHOST
A tzaddik is mamish, serving God with ava betaynugim, with tremendous pleasure from etzem ha-nefesh.
Simon JacobsonHOST
And ultimately, briefly, the answer is, it's in the 13th maimer, the maimer of Vayishlach, Samachvav, because the distress, tzar, the distress, causes more power than pleasure.
Simon JacobsonHOST
That's ultimately the point.
Simon JacobsonHOST
So his sense of distress, which doesn't have any giluim at all, because it's all lacking, he feels the distance, that creates a tremendous leap, as he puts it.
Simon JacobsonHOST
We are on page 147, the 14th Meimer of this 61 Meimer discourse, Hemshech.
Simon JacobsonHOST
The Meimer near Hanukkah, which comes after Vayishlach.
Simon JacobsonHOST
So let's first sum up what we learned yesterday.
Simon JacobsonHOST
We learned the end of the Meimer.
Simon JacobsonHOST
He's drawing down the makifim of Esau into the primis, into tikkun.
Simon JacobsonHOST
through tshuva, and that in turn creates and generates even a higher level of energy that tshuva reaches from the depths, like he said, the mayim chayim, from Yerushalayim, which then in turn infuses and permeates Chatziyom, half to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, basically Torah and mitzvahs, as we learned earlier.
Simon JacobsonHOST
And that sums up the end of the mayim of Vayishlach.
Simon JacobsonHOST
Now ready to continue, and as is the custom of the Rebbe Rashaab, though he wrote the whole Hemshech before he broke it into individual discourses with dates, but now we have the full Hemshech is broken down into Maimorim, so now we're going into Maimor by Yeshev, as I said, it's the 13th Maimor.
