This week's parsha is parsha of Vayishlach. This parsha of Vayishlach Moshe Rabbeinu davened Vayishlach Hashem. Vayishlach Hashem in Eretz Yisrael. So the heavenly sofer he asks, why does the possuk have to say Vayishlach Hashem? Of course of course Moshe Rabbeinu was davening to Hashem. Who else was he davening to? Why does he have to say Vayishlach Hashem? So the heavenly sofer said that everybody knows that the word Vayishlach is big tough tes vav. It's big 515. And why is it big 515 because Moshe Rabbeinu was mispallel 515 tefillos. Oh but the sofer says in this parsha say the word tefillah is also big 515. Tefillah has some sort of a shiyachus to the number 515. Havaya says the sofer is big 26. 515 and 26 is the 541. You know what's big 541? Yisrael. Yisrael's big tough kuf mem alef. It's big 541. And the sofer says that there's a side going on here in this possuk that tefillah to Havaya is Yisrael. That's a yid. That's a yid. For Adam because I can't hold my own. That's what the sofer says. So again there's a side going on over here. But Vayishlach Hashem, Vayishlach Havaya, tefillah with Havaya does not Yisrael. It's Havaya it's Havaya Havaya built in Havaya Vayishlach and tefillos of Havaya because that's how we daven. We daven with a chutzpah gedolah. So I'm thinking about this a little bit, right? I'm thinking about it. And the lotion says that we daven to Hashem it's a chutzpah. Think about it, right? You haven't responded to this. It's often replying to us. Often in the he says when a person starts to daven and he starts thinking Hashem I need help with this. Perhaps I need help with that. You know, this is not so good. This is not working out 100% the way I would like it to work out. Will you please help me? Should be in das. I need a refuah. I need help with parnassah. Whatever it is. A yid goes and he davens to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. It's a chutzpah gedolah says it's it's a chutzpah gedolah. But do you but it's not. And the reason it's not because even though Hakadosh Baruch Hu is magbir shabbos but he's mashpil Yisrael. Moshe Rabbeinu davened to Hakadosh Baruch Hu 515 times. I don't know if you're allowed to say this. But to me this sounds like the biggest chutzpah in the world. Like you imagine someone asks you something 515 At what point would you hit him in the head? I'm not sure. I don't know about you. I wouldn't make it past the seven, right? At some point you're going to sock the guy. It doesn't make any sense. First you're going to tell me what do you mean bottom Hashem Kachem. Your son calls you and he asks you something 515 times. Look out, right? Well, it's the it's the chutzpah of life. I think so. It's unbelievable. So my my musar issue was this Nefesh Chaim mamash. But a yid may daven him with chutzpah. It's true it's chutzpah gedolah. It's maybe it is. I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm not the mistafina. Could be. This chutzpah gedolah you're going you picked up the phone and you called the creator of the world because something is not perfect? Chutzpah gedolah neged Yisrael lespallel mayanichma v'lo yishme'u t'cheim ashveilim. Those are the words of Chaim Volozhin. It's a chutzpah gedolah. 500 Noachum you asked Hashem 150 times. You have he's not so in the mood of helping you out right now. So why are you asking him again? You know, let's pick this up another day. No, Moshe Rabbeinu went he went again and again and again. V'am daven with chutzpah. My hashkafa shniya was what was Moshe Rabbeinu being told no about? Can't come in Eretz Yisrael. Kol mash yomer l'cha ba'al habayis asei chutz mizeh. Right? That's what Moshe This is a classic example of this. He was being told not to go in Eretz Yisrael. So could be this is not just chutzpah gedolah because tefillah gate with a chutzpah. Could be it's a little more than that. But then I had another I don't know. Ich weiss nicht. There's another place in the Torah you find such an inyan. Where you find that somebody davened and he davened again and he davened again and he davened again. So where do you find that? It's a possuk in parsha Toldos. It's a Rashi chummash Vayetar Yitzchak lashem. And Noach ki acharei So Rashi what's this word Vayetar? Here the bitfillah. That's what it means. Ki loshon loshon sorer ribui. Yitzchak davened again and again and again. And if you look in Chazal, Chazal talk about all the ribui of tefillos of how many tefillos Yitzchak Yitzchak did the same exact thing. Yitzchak davened again and again and again. You know, we don't know how many times Yitzchak davened. Moshe Rabbeinu again I think these are two places with the bitfillah and Yitzchak was here with the bitfillah. Moshe Rabbeinu we know how many times he davened. K'minyan everybody knows. Every child knows that. How many times did Yitzchak daven? Ich weiss nicht. But I'll tell you a remez that I once saw in the Torah from the heavenly sofer. He says the words Yitzchak and Rivka together make 515. And he says because al yom bitfillah sh'el mincha and Yitzchak was mincha and that's the tefillah. Yitzchak and Rivka is k'minyan tefillah it's big 515. There's a remez of 515 when it comes to Yitzchak as well. But here was my gish. The gish was Moshe Rabbeinu was the 515 times and he wasn't answered. He wasn't answered. Yitzchak however davened and davened and davened and he was answered. He was to Yaakov Avinu. His tefillah was answered. So what's the So maybe the is based on the Torah we always speak after Rav Tzaddik. Where Rav Tzaddik said that the right the Amida was told don't go in Eretz Yisrael because he sits but they went anyways. Why did they go? Because they knew the side Kol mash yomer l'cha ba'al habayis asei chutz mizeh. So why didn't it work? So said Rav Tzaddik because he sits because at that time this of Kol mash yomer l'cha ba'al habayis asei chutz mizeh was not the of the world. Oh but there'll be a time said Rav Tzaddik when the is going to be that you can do something like this. You can go to Hakadosh Baruch Hu it's going to work. And you know when that is? Said Rav Tzaddik it's the Mashiach. And he said that's what Chazal meant the Mashiach chutzpah that the Mashiach is going to be chutzpah. That's what the is going to be. Moshe Rabbeinu davened Vayishlach Vayishlach it's not going to work because he sits at that Hashem told him daven and daven and daven. It's not happening. You're not going in. Oh but Kol mash yomer l'cha ba'al habayis asei I could be here with the Oh but I can't because I got it. You can't do it anymore. You can't say another word because it's not going to work. But Yitzchak was the avos and the avos we know was similar to him and their lives wasn't just their lives. They were living lives with different kufas of Klal Yisrael. And it could be Yitzchak Avinu is the similar to him that there's going to be a time where it's going to work. Where this avodah of chutzpah is going to be successful. The Mashiach chutzpah and why Yitzchak? So that everybody knows because Yitzchak we know was the one that says in Shabbos page he's the one that's going to fend for the yidden and that's why the seudah the seudah of the is referred to as b'yom yigamol Yishmael Yitzchak. And that's why throughout this parsha Vayeira L'Avraham right the golus Mitzrayim which was the similar to him of golus Yisrael was Vayeira says about big Yitzchak. It's all the of Yitzchak because Yitzchak is the golus of Yisrael and golus of Yisrael is a golus where Yitzchak is then you could daven and you could daven and daven and it's not going to be like Moshe Rabbeinu's tefillos that weren't answered. Then already he sits then it's already then it's already going to work. Vayishlach Havaya b'eisa leima. Vayishlach Yitzchak daven to Havaya. It's a big Havaya. Oh but it's built in Havaya. What does it say Yitzchak? Vayetar Yitzchak Havaya. It's the same as the sofer. Vayetar of course obviously Havaya. Vayetar Yitzchak Havaya. It was it was a tefillah built in Havaya. But there's this inyan of a person davening. Davening with chutzpah. Davening with chutzpah you have a right talk to Hakadosh Baruch Hu the creator of the world about your little things. Your little things that are going on in your life. You have a right to talk to Hakadosh Baruch Hu and not just that you could ask it again and again and again. And the mistafina in this dor in this dor it's going to work. In this dor chutzpah is a said Rav Tzaddik. There was a time of sits but this dor this dor needs chutzpah. And we've mentioned that Rav Tzaddik says what do you mean we need chutzpah? Because look at what we look like. Look at look like. And really for us to even have a to put on to put on a tallis the amount of chutzpah it takes. Who are we to daven to Hakadosh Baruch Hu? Oh but the is yeah this is Chazal understood it was going to be a dor of the Mashiach. Where we're going to have our shortcomings. But just because we have our shortcomings and you would think you have a right to ask for this and to do that. Who are you to learn? Who are you to daven? Who are you to partake? This is all shitsim because even if you're right even if you're right Yitzchak chutzpah you have a right to go with chutzpah. Vayishlach is big 515. That's also big Yitzchak Rivka. What else is big Yitzchak? The brings in his that Noachum u'Noachum was big Yitzchak. Vayishlach is Yitzchak and Rivka. Noachum u'Noachum was big Yitzchak. This of Yitzchak and this of that chutzpah gedolah Noachum u'Noachum. I'm not taking no for an answer. We should be zocheh to the of Yeshayahu which is Noachum we should be zocheh to Noachum u'Noachum ami Elokeichem. We should be zocheh that our little avodah of chutzpah should be scabbled b'ratzon by Hakadosh Baruch Hu. We should be zocheh to the Tzion and the Yisrael and Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
