Parshas Vayeira. 10 short debate Torah on parshas Vayeira from the safer Pninei Kedem. V'hinei shlosha anashim. Question. Avraham Avinu presumably did not know they were malachim. So as Reb Gershon Mivina in the safer Lekach Shmuel, quoted in the safer Pninei Me um Pninei Kedem. He says, wait a second. Chazal say that human beings have shadow. Angels don't have shadows. So why didn't Avraham know right away that these people walking around, they have no shadow. That's highly suspicious. If you see a guy walking around he doesn't have a shadow, that's a that's a you know, that gives it it's a sure giveaway that he's not a human being. So says the safer Jewish Shmuel, that's because it was Hayom. It was midday where the sun is directly overhead, and since the sun is directly overhead, there is no shadow. So, that's why the Malachim came Hayom because uh to hide their cover. That's why by the ego, the Satan was able to show the meter of Mosha, and it fooled Israel. Why didn't Israel know right away that it was a scam? That it was a facade. There was no shadow. Must be why? Because the was um boy, shesh. It was It was in the sixth hour. It was So, the reason there was no shadow, I guess Mosha in the bed had no shadow. Or the bed had no shadow because it was uh Dafka in midday. Maharish Pergil Pasuk What's the hurry? It's brought in the safer Binyan This took place after on as we know that when the Malachim came to light they were eating matzah. So, and Sarah's kneading dough. So, therefore it's a big rush. One thing you need to really hurry on Pesach is when you're making bread. Now, this is a really good one. This comes from the safer Nachlas Yaakov. Rabbi Yaakov Lipnick. Abraham fed them tongue. With what? With mustard. Why not ketchup? Huh? Why not ketchup? Mhm. >> [clears throat] >> How did he know they like mustard? At least give them a choice. Barbecue sauce. What? Only mustard? Why Fardo? Does I'll say there are three things that are the Mashihu like Fardo. Nida, Chametz, Avoda Zara. And all three things were found in this narrative. >> [laughter] >> Sarah was pierced in Nida. There was a she that it Chametz, and Avram had them wash their feet from avodah zarah. So as a remez to the three inyanim that are assur b'mashu k'khardal, Avraham served them khardal. Okay. That's what I call the Chasam Sofer says in Maseches Shabbos that why is it you have many people say chidushei Torah. He says even though ein kol kakh kol kakh emes. I'm not saying this is not emes, but the Chasam Sofer says people say chidushei ein kol kakh emes. And he says even myself, the Chasam Sofer says what's this um idea to try to say chidushei? The Chasam Sofer says when you have a chidush it helps you remember. So this is a good it's a tool to remember the three things that are assur b'mashu k'khardal. Niddah, hametz, avodah zarah. Fine. Vayikach dam v'khalav u'ven habakar. What happened to the bread? Amar Efraim Maksha'ah Talmido u'Shura Me'ir Mishmei d'Rabbi Me'ir. Avraham Avinu was oichel chulin b'taharah and Sarah Imeinu was peres niddah. Right, the Chazal ask in the Gemara in Bava Basra what happened to the bread? And Chazal say what happened to the bread? Sarah was peres niddah and Avraham was oichel chulin b'taharah. Says Reb Shmuel Kam Nikolsburg why do Chazal say they didn't eat the bread cuz Sarah was peres niddah? By Lo it says they ate matzah. Chazal say it was leil Pesach. That means the day the malachim came to Avraham was erev Pesach. And now it's k'khum hayom. So it's at least k'khum hayom is at least shesh chamishas. So they're not to eat hametz. Why do you have to say Sarah was peres niddah? It's already k'khum hayom, which is the fifth hour. The fifth hour you're not to eat hametz. Why do you have to say Avraham Avinu there was oichel chulin b'taharah? You can't eat hametz then. Really, you can't? Does everyone agree you can't eat? We don't eat in the fifth hour. Rabbi Me'ir holds you could eat hametz on the fifth hour on Arab Pesach. That's why Ephraim Machshav Mishmeres R. Meir says "Pirsa Nidda." All the other Tanaim have a better reason why they couldn't serve the bread cuz it was already the zman it was already after the zman. The Malachim say "Aye Sarah Ishtah Kah?" The Chiddarkam Lishol Benashim, why do they need to know where Sarah is? Cuz they're about to give Avraham a Besura. When someone hears a Besura Tayva you have to make a Bracha Tayva U'Meitiv. But you only make a Bracha Tayva U'Meitiv if you have somebody with you who's going to benefit. So the Malachim are asking is Sarah around? Avraham says "Yeah, don't worry. If you have something good to tell me the He Shema's she's listening. She could hear you." Okay. Now, uh So the angel tells Avimelech Hashiv Es Ishes Ha'Ish Ki Navi Hu. Return the man's wife because he's a prophet. What and if he's not a prophet you don't have to give back his wife? You only have to give back wives of prophets? Let's say he was in the non-for-profit business then you wouldn't have to give back his wife? So says R. Moshe Harish in the Sefer Asifas Ha'Kohanim Avraham Avinu was a Kohain. And Shvuya She'Nisht Space Asura L'Kohain. So therefore the Malach says "Don't worry." Avimelech says "Why should I give her back? She won't be muttar to her husband anyway." The The Malach said "Don't worry, he's a Navi. He knows you didn't touch her so he could take her back. Plus B'Oifen She'Lo Yazoz Yadeha Me'Toch Yadi if if the husband was in domain the entire time A Shvuya Muteres L'Kohain. So therefore the Malach says he's a Navi it's like Lo Yazoz Yadi Me'Toch Yada. Now, Avraham Avinu tells Avimelech she's my sister. But but let me explain. From the same father, not from the same mother. Why do they need to get into the exact details of what kind of sister Sarah was? With Paroy, they didn't have to explain. Why by Avimelech did they have to explain? Says Rav Yosef Mesaltes, the author of In the times of Paroy, Sarah, it's before she became beautiful again. And therefore, Avram and Sarah looked the same age. So, there was no question if Avram would say that they're brother and sister, there're no questions. But now, Sarah already became hoisily edna. She's already looks young again. She has oira kanashim. Sarah already, the Hazal say about this, So, they don't look like they're related. Avram looks like he's 100 and she looks like she's 20. How they brother and sister? Maybe Avram's her great great grandfather, but not brother and sister. So, Avram says, "No, no, no. It's from the same father. If you have any questions on our brotherhood, we we have the same father." Okay. Matira Sarah as Ben Hagar Hamitzris. Metzachek. Sarah says, "Goresh es ha'amah es ha'ish." Why is Hagar called Hamitzris? We know she's from Mitzrayim. It doesn't say every time that Hagar is a Mitzris. Why in this context does it say Hagar Hamitzris? Says Rav Moshe Ba'al Hamachaber Sefer Zichron Moshe. The Gemara in Kiddushin says daf sameach es, lo yivaker ben ho'ahuva upnei ben hasnu'a. But if they're from a different umma, there's no issue of havaras nachala. You could be mazaka. So, in the context of Sarah kicking him out of the house, it says ben Hagar Hamitzris to explain why there's no violation of lo yevaker es ben ha'ama ha'zose. apnei ben ha'snu'a. The father of the Chasam Sofer says, when Sarah says "Goresh ben ha'ama ha'zose", um ki lo yirash ben ha'ama ha'zose im beni, im Yitzchak. Hashem says "Kol asher tomar elav Sarah shma be'kolah". Listen to her ruach hakodesh. Why does she need ruach hakodesh? The Gemara Bava Basra says in Yish Noachlin Amar Shmuel, do not be me'avurei achasanta. Don't take away yerusha from a bad kid to a good kid. You never know what good could come out of somebody. But Sarah knew nothing good would come out of Yishmael. How did she know? Kol asher tomar elav Sarah shma be'kolah. That's why Hashem says, listen to Sarah's ruach hakodesh. This is not a violation of avurei achasanta. This is not a violation of taking nachala away from one to another. This is the uh insight of the father of Chasam Sofer. And finally, from the Rebbe Reb Heshel of Apta alav hashalom hinei hu Yisrael its an ish al ha'olah. Vayomer Avraham Elokim yireh lo ha'seh la'olah beni. Why did Yitzchak only ask, "Where's the seh now?" Why didn't he ask before? He only asked once Avraham put the wood on him. Before Avraham put the wood on him, he didn't ask "Where's the seh?" Says the Rebbe Reb Heshel, Yitzchak knew the whole time he was the seh. But once Avraham put the wood on him, the The is, Avraham is being mishtamesh be'kodshim. You know how to put the wood on the kli, on the carbon? The carbon is hukdash. So, when Avraham put the wood on Yitzchak, Yitzchak said, "So, where is the sa?" Yitzchak said, "I'm not the sa." And Avraham said, "B'lashon asah, yirah lo hasah." I'm not I didn't I wasn't makdish you yet. I will be makdish you. Like the Gemara in Sanhedrin says on some above, you could stick the knife into the hair of the sa so that the animal could shlep it to the Azarah because technically you're not makdish it until it gets to Azarah. That's why Avraham Avinu says, "Elohim yirah lo hasah." I wasn't makdish the animal just yet. Okay, so we shared 10 divrei Torah. Avraham didn't recognize they were malachim because they didn't have shade because it was k'chom hayom. The haste was it was Erev Pesach about chatzos. He served them chardal to be maramez three things that are assur b'mashu d'chardal, nidah, chametz, and avodah zarah. Rav Meir is the one who said Avraham didn't eat the bread or serve the bread because Sarah was person nidah. Because according to other tana'im, they didn't eat the bread because it was already after this man. It's only according to Rav Meir that it was still within this man. The malachim wanted to know where Sarah was. We need Avraham needed an audience to say hatov v'hameitiv. Return her because he's a navi. Why does he have to be a navi? He's a kohen and she was a shvuyah. Why is Avraham explaining that they're brother and sister here and not earlier? Because now Sarah now that she was young, the age discrepancy uh was somewhat suspicious. Why does it say in the context of throwing Yishmael out of the house that Hagar was a mistress? If there's no issur of lo yivaker if the other son is from a different ummah. Why does Hashem say listen to Sarah because she has ruach hakodesh to explain to Avraham why it's not a violation of avurei achasanta? And why is Yitzchak only asking after Abraham has the wood I a Hashem because once Abraham put the wood on him, he wondered how Abraham could be mishtamesh in him to be the receptacle for the wood. Raboisai, join us tonight for an astounding sheer on Akedas Yitzchak. Uh in recent years, every year we like to give a sheer on the Akeda. Revolution a revolutionizing the entire Akeda if we could say if we could say again, revolutionize the Akeda. When did the Akeda take place in the morning or in the afternoon? What time of the day? There are two opinions of the Zohar. The Shlah says "Eilu v'eilu divrei Elokim Chaim." Huh? How could that be? When did it happen? Morning or afternoon? Stay tuned for the epic role of the Akeda in the history of the Jewish people. Have a good day everyone. Bracha v'hatzlacha. >> You've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com.
