3 Sharp Divrei Torah on Parshas Ha'azinu {Pninei Kedem}

Recording in progress. >> Okay, good morning, friends. Three sharp divrei Torah on parshas Hazinu. First from Hagoyim, Rav Avraham Breuer. Hazinu Hashamayim v'ada'abirah v'sishma ha'aretz imrei fi. The medrash says, who will testify against Klal Yisrael, whether we kept the mitzvahs or not? Shamayim v'aretz. Question, we need aidim? I thought ayin ro'eh v'ozen shoma'as. I need Hazinu Hashamayim. Why can't the Ribono shel Olam be the aid? Why do we need the witness, the testimony of Shamayim v'aretz? Says Rav Avraham Breuer, because Ribono shel Olam is the dayan. And Bav Kama daf tzadi, ein aid naseh dayan. Ein aid naseh dayan. So, if the Ribono shel Olam is the dayan, he needs outside witnesses. K'shem Hashem Elokeinu ki karah ha'avugoy l'Elokeinu. What's the makor Birkas haTorah? K'shem Hashem Elokeinu ki karah ha'avugoy l'Elokeinu. Says Gemara Berachos daf chof alef, Birkas haTorah l'faneha min haTorah minayin? K'shenemar, K'shem Hashem Elokeinu ki karah ha'avugoy l'Elokeinu. What about Birkas haTorah afterwards? Kavachomer from Birkas Hamazon. What about Birkas Hamazon before? Kavachomer miBirkas haTorah. What about Birkas Hamazon after? V'achalta v'savata. So, we have a pasuk for Birkas Hamazon after, we have a pasuk for Birkas haTorah before. Birkas haTorah after, we learn out from Birkas Hamazon. Birkas Hamazon before, we learn a kavachomer from Birkas haTorah. So, where is it written? Birkas haTorah before, Birkas Hamazon after. Why is it written in those two places. Says the Sam Sofer. Before you eat, you don't need a pasuk. You're hungry. You need the food. You're reliant on Hashem. So, it's pasuk you have to make a bracha. Once you're satisfied, once you're satiated, you're not needy anymore. So, then we need a pasuk that you have to say birkat hamazon. Birkat haTorah is the opposite. Before you learn, you don't have an appreciation for the sweetness of learning. You don't necessarily desire it. You don't know what you're missing. You don't know what you're lacking. But, after you learn a lot, you have such a cheshek for more. So, you don't need a pasuk after. The pasuk is needed before. Before you learn, a person doesn't have the necessarily the awareness, the recognition, the discernment of what he's lacking, of what he's missing. So, we need a pasuk before birkat ha- before Torah and after eating. Okay, one more. Perek lamed bet pasuk mem daled. Who? V'Hoshaya bin Nun. Huh? Hoshaya bin Nun, who's that? Who's Hoshaya bin Nun? I thought Moshe changed his name to Yehoshua. What happened to that name switch? That happened a while ago in Shelach. Rashi deals with that question. Says Rav Aryeh Yehuda Leib, the grandson of the Bach, where did Yehoshua get his yud from? He took it from Sarai. Because the yud when Hashem made Sarai Sarah, the yud was upset. Where am I going to go? So, Hashem gave the yud to Yehoshua. Why was she called Sarah? Cuz she's now Sarah, she's a princess for the whole world. Okay? That's only when she's alive. But once she passes, ain't she'll turn beyond her mother's. So, for how long did Yehoshua get a Yud from Sarai? From when she was named which one she was 89 years old until she passed away. Yehoshua got the Yud serviced Sarai. The Yud was absent from Sarai for 38 years. From 89 until she was named Sarah. So, the Yud had 38 years of complaints. The Yud had 38 years of complaint from age 89 of Sarai till age 127. Therefore, from year two when they sent out the miraglam until the 40th year in the midbar Yehoshua was called Yehoshua and not Hoshea. But now we're in year 40. And now the Yud has no complaint anymore. And now Yehoshua's name reverted back to what originally was Hoshea bin Nun. Cuz he only got 38 years worth of the Yud. He only got 38 years. And therefore a Yehoshua complained uh Therefore, the Yud complained for 38 years. It went to Yehoshua for 38 years. And at that point in time after that, it went back to uh Hoshea. In any event, please join us tonight for an amazing shiur at 8:30 on the subject of Dalid Chiluke Kapara and how to circumvent the system. Really amazing share. Um I wish you all a G'mar Chatima Tova. And uh we'll be with you in a second. Kol tuv everyone. Have a great day. Kol tuv. Bye-bye. I apologize.
