Hope And Optimism - Parshat Vayeitze - Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair

[Music] a person can have tremendous wealth and opulence can have a living sushi chef but if he's got Crohn's disease God forbid instead of being a blessing his wealth his food are all a constant reminder of his infirmity someone can have the last word in tailoring a suit by number one Italian tailor Antonio liverano and shoes by coced and Jones of London but if he's in the middle of a vicious legal battle and all his days are spent going to court then his clothes will just remind him of where it is that he has to go to today yobu Jacob says in Pas V if God will give me bread to eat and clothes to wear ostensibly there's no other reason to have bread than to eat it and no other reason to have clothes than to wear them so why does the verse spell out bread to eat and clothes to wear Yakov was asking God not just for the wherewith all not just for the food but the health to enjoy it and not just for clothing but the peace of mind to get dressed in the morning with optimism and Hope [Music]
