We have in the coming parsha parshat
Hazinu very interesting pasuk.
The Torah tells us Hatzur Tamim Pa'alo.
The rock whose work is perfect. Hashem
is referred to very rarely as Hatzur.
As the rock. What does that mean? Hashem
is the rock. So, the commentators tell
us that
emunah, the faith in Hashem has to be as
strong as a rock, solid. [music]
But there's also Midrash that says, "Al
tikrei Hatzur ela Hatzayar." Don't read
as a rock, read it as if it was said the
word Hatzayar, which means a painter.
The Midrash brings a beautiful story.
There was once a king, he wanted to have
the most beautiful painting in the
world. So, he got the top three painters
of the country and they had the 1 month
to come up with the most beautiful
painting. The The [music] month comes up
and and all the the delegates and all
the people all the you know, people with
authority come to the kingdom and
they're about to see the most beautiful
painting.
>> [music]
>> The first guy goes up and he The All the
paintings have a like a curtain over
them and the king orders, "Okay, pull
down the curtain."
>> [music]
>> And
the the soldiers pull down the curtain
and she says, "Wow,
such a beautiful sunrise. You could see
the sun over the horizon and it's so
bright that people go, 'Wow.' They're
backing up. Their Their eyes are hurting
them. Such beautiful So, 'Wow, never saw
such a beautiful sunrise. It's
amazing.'"
The second guy goes.
They
The king orders again, "Pull down the
curtain." They pull down the curtain and
they see a vase with beautiful fruits.
And it looks so real that the birds
started, you know, coming to the
painting and and pecking at the fruit.
The king was beyond himself. "Wow, you
fooled the the the birds. Oh, what an
amazing painting."
And then the third guy said, "You know,
your honor, that's such an amazing
painting. I don't want to take down my
curtains." And he said, "No, no, no. I
want to see your painting." I said,
"Please, I beg you, don't don't do
that." He said, "No, I want to see your
painting." Guards he said, "Pull down
the curtain." And when they come up to
the curtain they try to pull it down,
the curtain did not did not pull down
because the painting was of the curtain
itself.
And the king was like, "Wow, astounding.
Such beautiful painting. You even fooled
us."
>> [music]
>> And that's what the Midrash says, Hashem
has paintings all over the world, sort
of say metaphor, that it's what we think
we see something, it's not what we see,
there's something behind that. That's
why a person has to have a munnah, that
when he what he sees is not always what
he gets. There's certain things that we
don't know, we don't understand, but we
know we have a munnah in Hashem that he
knows what he's doing. That's what it
means his work is perfect.
