breath >> and welcome everyone. Wednesday morning shar 10 sharp de from the pin kadm. Join us tonight at 8:30 for our weekly shar on the para the secrets of Abraham Aino's descent to mitim. Make sure you have on the first of you can get it with free shipping at rabbi dgi.com as well as the of the actually it's coming up now the 50th yard of the yim there's going to be special uh celebrations commemorations inim and in honor of the 50th there's going to be a new safer coming out on the kadushim of the sacranana actually we're calling We hope it will be ready for the yard site. And away we go. I will bless those who bless you. Where Hashem's blessing is said even before those bless you. I will bless those who bless you. And those who curse you, I will curse. Why doesn't it say and those who bless you I will bless no I will bless those who bless you says the author of when it comes to a good deed is Hashem combines it to action so even before they even blessed you as soon as they had the plan of blessing you I will already bless those who even planned on blessing you but when When it comes to curse, it's only those who actually do it. Those who curse you, then uh I will curse them. When it comes to the blessing, it's even those who just plan on doing it. Abraham was very laden with cattle, silver, and gold. Alex Zion. The coin of Abraham Aino was a zakin and a zaka on one side. Says that it said the words zakuza not like rashi that there was an actual picture of Abraham and Sarah on the coins. No, it just said the word zaka. question. According to the tusal say that reputation spread through the coin. Well, if his picture wasn't on it, it just said the word, how did it uh enhance his reputation? So the brings from that says until Abrau there was no zikna there's no old age. Abraham prayed for old age before one passes. So therefore even the the fact that Abraham referred was referred to as old that was an enhancement of Amrau's uh reputation. Ario, Melik, Elasar, one of the four kings. Aro, Melik, Elasar. The Ramban says he was a king of Madai. Says Ley called Ariel had a nickname, a lion of Mel [snorts] like Gur Yehuda. It's a lion of Mel. Ari. Now why do we call a mel? Because we pascin like was a mel and therefore he was in what way was he a mel? Behold like him in denim, not by Iser, by and by we say din goes together with malus comes to and he says another rem is the king of elasar aler not is we pass like byim not byer we pass like ra by iser so therefore he's called for two reasons he's the melus and he's king of elser not by Isurim. Okay. [snorts] It says Jacobu went to his travels. Rashi says on his way back he paid off his debts. Of what significance is it that Yakovino paid Abramino paid off his debts on his way back? question why did Abraham take the same route back we find by alana whenever he would be ole regal he always took a different route to be able to garner more people to join him to be ole regal so why didn't take a different route after all his modus operandi was trying to bring people he should have spread the wealth why would he take the same route ah therefore kazal have to explain he must have gone back on the same route for a very important purpose what was it to pay back his debt. Okay, it says in the 14th year came Rashi says the 14th year of what? Rashi says of the rebellion they rebelled 13 years and in the 14th year of the rebellion Kadar came. The Ibanzra disagrees with Rashi. Iban Ezra says and the they rebelled in the 13th year of Kadar's reign and Kardar came to fight in the 14th year. So Rashi learns of the rebellion learns of the reign of says the mash like because it says by there it means the 14th year of his reign that supports view that it was the 14th year of the reign of the says you will come to your forefathers in peace says Rashi this is a that did shuva before he died asks rabbim hecture in the safer ad how do you know that t did chuva maybe he never did chuva but a ben sadic we bring the father to ganed And so they don't say the father is in gehennam and his son is in ganed we rescue a father because of a righteous son. So how do do kazal know that was promised would do chuva? Maybe they just will take out of ganam the answer is the says not to your father to your fathers. If the only reason Abraham would see Tarak is because Tarak was dragged out of Gean to see Ara, then it should have only been Tak. Why Abraham's grandfather also? It must have be must be that it's because Tak must have done Tshua. Okay, there's a big question in the para. Hashem tells Abraham to do Mila and he does. But we know that Abra fulfilled the whole Tory before it was given. Why didn't Abra do before it was given? Hashem tells Abraham say why the justosition that Abra will be fruitful and multiply to the mitzvah from there derived the is done that you are fruitful and multiply that's how Abraham knew where the makim was. So Cesra Binyam Zevul the author of Arya. Now we understand why Abraham didn't do Mila before because he didn't know where it's only learned out from this communication of Hashem to Abraham Au. In fact, we could add that it says Abraham circumcised his foreskin on that very day like when God spoke to him. What does it mean that Abraham did like God spoke to him? lease khal in the safe author of mishp another reason why didn't abraham do ma before hashem commanded one of the well-known answers is is better to do a mitzah when you're commanded now all the other mitzvah he did before he was commanded and when he's commanded he did them again you only got one shot so therefore it says abraham circumcised himself like Hashem said to him because he was waiting for God to say to him because it's a mitzvah that you could only do one time. Okay, it's known that there were two whose names were changed. Ara was changed to Abraham. Yakov was changed to Israel. Yet if you call Abraham Ara, you're over alive. If you call Israel Yakov, it's okay. Why it says it says? It doesn't say s. Why does it only say s by a and not by? The word s is coming to be something secondary. It says so it's saying we're don't say your name is not but it's not eliminating a secondary name. It doesn't eliminate the s. You could still use as a secondary name but by it says sim. You can't use a even as a second possibility. So by his name is Israel. But using the name Jacob as another name is okay. It didn't eliminate the s. That's why it doesn't say s by it says s by that abraham's name cannot even be used as a separate option. The med says why wasn't Abraham circumcised a night? Because so the people would have uh shouldn't say ah if we would have been there we never would would have let him circumcise himself. So therefore a circumcised in the middle of the day. So as a valerstein from that's why Aram didn't do meal at night. You're not allowed to do meal at night. Mila is only kasher during the day. Why do we need this outside reason, a side reason that didn't do ma at night? Because so this way the people can't say we would have stopped him. He didn't do ma at night because it's not during the night. The mitzvah is not applicable at night. So says valerstein that this of is from Shakar. We only do Mila a little bit later from sunrise. Rashi says cuz not everyone is in Nate but Abraham and Yuma says was a bucky in the so could have done it at especially why didn't Abraham do it from when it was still night for everyone else. The answer is so that people shouldn't say had we been there we would have stopped him. Okay. These are 10 sharp why Hashem blesses already those who plan to bless you. Abrahamu's coin according to Tyus just said Zakain that alone enhanced his reputation because Abraham was the one who brought old age to the world. Abrainu went back on the same route instead of um increasing his Tory because he had a Kazalu because it must be he had to pay his debts. Shel was called king because we passing like him in in he's called he's also elar not is not like him by Iser thehat that it was the 14th year of ar reign is supported by the what it says by lamela abrau must have done chuva Because a was promised that he will come to his forefathers plural didn't do before. Either he only learned from these that it's rau or it's only something he could do once so he waited till he was it says s by to include the name cannot even be used as a secondary name but by Jacob it does not say s because it could be used as a secondary name. Abrainu of course didn't do ma at night because the is not at the night but he didn't even do it from because so people shouldn't say had we been there we would have stopped him. Okay, join us tonight at 8:30 uh for an amazing paras. Have a wonderful day of >> recording stopped. >> Kov, have a good day.
