lunch and learn Emmett lunch and learn Tuesday New York Eastern Standard Time and I invite everybody to just to log in and to to join us and to be part of the discussion and hope it will add to your day into your week and allow us a time to learn to our together and let it trigger and spark our initial melt our souls in order to to connect to the ideas that we know we want to connect to but sometimes our days are just too busy to find the time for that connection so I welcome everybody and we hope the time is working for everyone 12 o'clock New York Eastern Standard Time so I'm gonna do something with you today which is a fascinating look at a story in voracious and we're gonna go back into parshas todos and we're looking something the story of perhaps what we call the deception of issac deception of issac meaning the this is the Isaac we know had one blessing that he had to give or he was told by Shem he needs to give and he has a choice to make am I gonna give that blessing to either Yaakov or to Asaph and again this is not the blessing that Yaakov sort of bought from Asaph there was the right to be the firstborn the right for the service in the temple that happened when they were boys now they're in their 50s and it's a new blessing in a pretty different blessing which Yitzhak has to bestow and he can only give it to one and that's what he's told and as we know he gets feels that Asaph is the one worthy of this blessing and of course rifka understands that it can't be hastened it must be a cold and we take a look at the story and and understand our ask ourselves some questions on it what's it trying to teach us and what are we probably supposed to look at it you know I think when we think about the story just to speak about it on the outside for a moment it's a very interesting story we have Yakov one of our founding fathers a person who represents truth detainee Emmett the Yokota mystical and here he's really cold upon by his mother and again you know in my mother's prophecy has award listen to my voice which is another word for prophecy to do an act which appears to be deceptive now we're going to go through the story and we're gonna demonstrate maybe deceptions and what we think the deception is maybe it's something really different and we'll explore that together in a few moments but certainly when you read it on the outside it's it's a deceptive act and it's a deceptive act to such an extent where perhaps this is maybe one of the oculus major tests in life to do something which is completely against his nature you know all tests are always going to be a test in which we have to overcome our natural state we have to change our nature to do what a sham wants in other words to do something which is easy for us which fits very well into our personality or a set of of characteristics that's not necessarily a test a test is when we have to go against our grain against sort of what makes sense to us against what's our natural our natural setting and to overcome that and do the will of a ship just like by Avram his test was the acade or the ultimate test for Avram was to overcome that desire for kindness and cressid and love and to do an act of love within the context of an or Norman's act of what would been a cruelty Yaakov is a man of truth his particular attribute is Emmett and Yaakov is now was called upon to do something which is going to be against his nature and God seems to wanted to do that he needs to do something against what is natural for him deception it will be an act of deception so let's think about for moments you know it number one I guess we have to ask questioned you know why is this the only way to get the blessing you know it couldn't jackoff have sat down with with his father explained it could not rifka I have sat down with her husband and explained listen you know I know you think ASA has some qualities which you admire but he got it wrong I grew up in the house of loved one and this so well and I know characteristics of a bad person when I see it Mason's not really thinking is and Yaakov is more than you think he is which we will speak about could you've he couldn't she had that discussion number one number two maybe we have to ask the question that if you if you receive a blessing you know unwittingly you get one person receives a blessing from somebody but the person thinks he's blessing somebody else does the blessing work there for example if I if I buy a car from from a shim ohn and Shimon tells me there are 10,000 miles on the odometer and I look I see ten thousand miles this is how much is that guy ten thousand dollars so I pay ten thousand dollars for a car ten thousand miles probably a Camry let's say and then I go home and I do a Carfax in the search and I discovered that on ten thousand miles this cars one hundred thousand miles and Shimon had just sort of a sneaky way put the odometer back so according to Jewish law I have every right to come back and tie in a mecca toast that's a sale under false pretenses or my money back and I'll be at the end with money back and American law would say the same thing a sale made under false pretenses not a sale may be a blessing given under false pretenses isn't the bust him either maybe if you get stuck thought he was blessing a sub maybe the blessing didn't work just take a scary question and I guess the question maybe a larger sentence is what have to learn from this are we supposed to under they think that deception is what it wants is is it is it you know it's it's something you wouldn't expect against granted as we said it was a test for Yaakov to overcome his truthfulness and do something which seems to be against truthfulness but but you know what are we supposed to learn football so let's take a look at the story and let's break it down and by doing so let's see if we can find really what's going on in the story there's a story underneath the story as we like to point out when you discover that story underneath the story that's such such such beauty lies and so so delicious so that's such time such flavor and then such of course such deep inside message messages let's take a look so I'm gonna read now from the finish and I'm looking specifically in parshas todo and I'm and I'm in chapter 27 of Genesis verse first one Anika Keys knocking it's soccer - Kenna aina morose and yet Scott became old his eyes became dim from the ability to see the e-class ace of Benoa girdle and he called for ace of his older son over by a few minutes or maybe shorter than that there were twins so you're my love beneath he said to him my son saying oh my love he Lainey and he saw sent back he Nene whenever I hear that word he need me and whenever we hear that word he Navy what does it remind us of it takes us back somewhere it takes us back to the chaos it's tough if there's any word which is the main word indicated see it's rock it's the word he day me and if you just take a look at a class we gave a few weeks ago which just spoke about the the occasion see it's talking we just go back and review that class we have a mind we noticed that the others he needed beginning there's a and there's a dead center in the middle and there's all about beneath my son interesting the whole dialogue begins with a reference to the Aikido but I think it's interesting for yo mer and this access to ace of he named a second-team very dotty or mostly should behold I'm getting old and I don't know the day of my death I torn out sunder kala with a yellow cache that ho take your bow in your quiver your arrows say a study vassula decide and go to the field and hunt for me game so I selling my time in me makes me delicious foods kashaf tea which I love like I love Ivy Lee and brings it to me Oh hallo and I'll eat them before to Varanasi but I'm almost in order that I should eat and that my soul should bless you before I die interesting it seems to one easy to go out and hunting venison or quail I don't know any it's also delicious food that she loves we don't tend to think it's hawk is a person who loves food you know he's a person who was willing to give his life at the Akane zombie is willing to be sacrificed said after that experience it seems he almost became disconnected from this world he can't imagine him so much as you know like what they say not today you know food guy all the TV shows about cooking it they can't imagine that was his passion yet he needed asa to go out and hunt from food it seems what I need information is that he needed a demonstration of what he really loves about a self what he loves about ace of his ace of can make it happen in the world they still had the quality to hunt to cook together to to control the world in many ways in fact one of the great tragedies of Jewish history is that Asaph did not live up to be who he were supposed to be and we know we have for Imam for Mother's sorrow Rifkin of Malaya and the other side we were three fathers Avram yes Clark and Yakko we should have had four fathers just like we had four mothers it shouldn't be nice' a cell's ability to go out and to to build that platform to allow Yakult Tara to be the general to defend the Jewish nation to be the the main Commerce to allow the resources to provide so that that the Word of God can go to the world and those who want to learn Tom have been learning and teaching it it would've been the vision of what really the Jewish nation could look like with a different world had a son lived up to his job but he failed it instead of utilizing the physical world to be a vehicle to serve vehicles Tara a a sub wanted the pleasures and the and and the enjoyment and the desire of his heart in this world and of course that's what rifki sees but mighty Scott doesn't see that so what happens he says rifki shall mass bowdabra get stuck rifki here's this conversation between his and ASA to know Mary looks interesting it says Ben know his son but yeah the face of a sudden of subside loving and when you get stuck when a sub goes out to the field to hunt game to bring the rifka Umrah Yaakov bindle and Rivka says to Yakko for her son interesting she sees him as her son lame are saying he nation mattias a vehicle Madhab you lace of Africa label I heard your father speaking to eighths of your brothers saying oh really signs make for me I bring from a game by selling my Tomlin thankfully delicious foods volcano and I'll eat them you have a rally finish em if they mostly I should bless you before I said before I died Otterbein II and now rifki says to Jakov Shema back only listen to my voice again my voice is my prophecy call which means prophecy now Sharon emits a bow like I'm commanding you look north sonic are commissioning the ease into oven go to this flock and bring for me too delicious delicious D delicious young sheep and goat young sheep in camps I also somewhat Amin la vie for him and I'll make delicious food for your father like he loves via visa la vehicle and you bring it to your father beocca hold he'll eat pour voir share you buy should buy a voyage and give a rough equality mo so that he should bless you before he dies Africa Yakima roof Grande the ackerson's terrific animo hey ace of a quiche saw you but what a minute my brother ace of his Harry vanillish Harlock and I'm smooth-skinned allow you mache Miyavi well that my father will feel me but he 17 of commitment hanger and our beings eyes like a deceiver TV star like la la Villa Bravo and I'll bring upon me curse and not blessing at all it's interesting you know a sub was Harry as we know that one of the reasons called the ace of is that penalty was born he was covered with hair people looked at him and said you're a sooie sooie in hebrew means you're complete you finished translated is just valve a little differently you could say there's a sub but the same letters the I mean the sin of the love us so he's done you're done you could think you look like a little man and it's also a description of spiritually where ASA wants to be a Sadiq to be great in the world means you don't see yourself as finished you don't see yourself as complete there's always another Vista to conquer there's more to learn there's more greatness that awaits first it could be 95 and say I'll have so much to do Asus I'm done it's a siming that was a sign not just of his physical appearance but really a indication of where he was in his approach to his spiritual endeavors as well there's interesting the actor said look up smooth skinned and he might feel me okay that's that's true and if he does I'll be the eyes the eyes of my father commit to taya but two tails a strange word it means I like almost like a deceiver but what's whatever Matata means the one letter that precedes it is even more interesting the letter Hoff in Hebrew would attach to a word means like cabal shortened for como so I'll be committed here I'll be in his eyes like a deceiver like a deceiver that's interesting what didn't like it to see for Jakov you'll be a deceiver you'll be like I seem to be deceiver your Yakko was the epitome of truthfulness Yakko speak truthfully don't just touch she'll be like a deceiver you'll be a deceiver so it's a one letter it's very important so what happens rifki certificate says don't worry go listen to my voice so what happened - yay like Twiggy Cochran says that Yaakov went out the gala when you calculate took forgave in the emo they brought the Sheep to his mother potassium on my tummy she prepared delicious food sky sure I love you like his father loves 40 Kafka's big there Aesop and our God or Camus no such any time and banks Thomas yeah Cooper not cotton and then she takes the clothing of a son that I used to keep in her house and she dressed me uncle now this isn't the furthest going on the hands in the neck yet this is ASA had a cloak he had a coat and very just in coat it was the coat that God made for autumn before he left the Garden of Eden in that act of kindness even though that other was gonna go into the world because he said it destroyed the world God prepares him for the journey by making him a coat to rest in a minute and I was speaking the other day to a bunch of our young mothers and ended and said you know when you dress somebody you're acting like God how interesting it's a side point when you dress some fatty you act like that you help a person problems coach you're acting like I should when you help a little child put on his shirt you're acting like a shoe when you help a baby change are you change your baby's diaper I finish it so he had this coat in riff cos I was apparently didn't trust his wives it says it was a very special coat and said used to wear it when he needs to serve his father question is why does rifki dress Yakko Venus coat first of all you suckers blind can't see it now again we're not speaking yet about the firmness as a coat yes God cannot see it why there for his Rifco putting on his coat when Yakov is blind the whole reason this ruse is gonna work is because his fact is blind it's beautiful ask anybody tell us there's something so interesting it says he wasn't wearing the coat forgive Scott it was where the cofee a cough in other words if I'm going to pretend that I'm an ASA I need to feel like adhesive and the way I feel like in a self is my wear the clothing I'm ASA so this is the stats came by tell us and really alluding to the importance of clothing in the way we feel about ourselves clothing isn't only to present ourselves to others the clothing we wear defines ourselves to ourselves which is why Jewish dress has has such so much to say about clothing the way we define who you are and what the dignity of our clothing and the cleanliness of our clothing and in the modesty of a clothing in the fact that our clothing reveals certain parts of ourselves we want to express to the world women's clothing obviously reveals the fact that I'm more than something physical there's something very spiritual about me and you look deep to see it but even men's clothing wants to express that my essence is my face not by my muscles my essence is my hands that's I want to get to the world clothing speaks to us about us if he's gonna feel the part yes wear the clothes then words rifka do it says then rifka takes as OCD I assume he'll be sure your daughter cuts of arrows she takes the the wall the fur of ease of a goat and she dresses it places on his hands and on the huts of Elif and the soft part of his neck again this is the famous fur on the hands so we understand why she would place her on the hand that makes sense to us because ASA was hairy and and it would make sense that giving a bra it's hot my take his hand and if it doesn't feel smooth he's gonna question who is this but she also placed his hand places fur where cuts afar off on the smooth part of his neck and that's interesting why the neck does a person feel a person's neck when they give a blessing why not the beard I'm sure they had different pure qualities Asus was probably much rougher and and thick and coarse and yakko's was smooth and softer so that would be you know and you can imagine maybe he would touch the face or the hair must have been different why the neck and not only that that the word for neck here in salvar there are two words for neck in the human language there's earth and sulfur RF is the back of the neck for example when God criticized the Jewish nation it says you know I'm Sheriff your stiff-necked people that means you're our nation that turns your neck towards me you know as you turn your face and turn your head and look look away you show me the back of your neck your stiff necked you don't want to face me listen to me that Savar is over here now where do most people have hair most people have hair perhaps on the or F on the back of their neck it's a very rare thing to have hair on that sävar on the front of the neck amantha just say the beard goes a little bit below it or something but the neck itself is not a place over the Adam's apple it's not a place where hair grows why she place any hair there and not only that it would be a very strange thing to think that well that's where he's gonna touch him when he gives the blessing now granted it'll touch his hand but he's gonna grab him by the neck over here both we give the place it doesn't seem to make sense why what is she doing putting hair on the front part of it so far from bother neck okay so she places the hair there teaching us in my tummy and she places the delicious foods there's some left command bread a sauce to what she maybe add Yaakov the hands of Yaakov the knob son now listen to this here Yaakov now is gonna enter the room of yourself and let's ask ourselves a question where have we heard these words before for Yeovil the Yahveh loveth and he came to his father biyomon avi and he said my father for O'Mara he named he and he said hey lady Mia toponi before you my son should I said again where have we heard this word before for your love this talking about Yakov and he came to his father for younger avi and he said my father if I younger and he said he nee nee I'm here mia Tapani who are you my son did you figure that where do we get this words before David Bolivian you got it where we hear this word before I can see such beautiful absolutely right that is the language of the case you suck we call that let's just go back just a quick view over there just for a moment if we jump back a few partial to go you can see it stuck what are we here we hear a dialogue between Avraham and it stuck on top of the mountain and that's the only dialogue between I have Romania stuck in the entire Terra the only one that God chooses to record and it takes place just there at the top of the mountain and listen that dialogue the dialogue says for yama get stuck Avram office and yes clerk says to offer his father the younger of V and he says my father the yoga and he says he nee nee I'm here for you buddy my son one more time for Yami hits knuckle of mothers and yetsko says to Avram is father for Omer and he says he for younger he nee nee na mam says he Bini let's see if how that sounds what we're timing back in the storyline it says in verse 18 for yahwah loveth he comes to his father same word there's a young girl of if here's valve oil of if that's the same same cadence the same rhythm to it but yahwah loveth it came to his father for yah marathi and he says my father for y'all mer he named me and yes lux is back he nene but interesting instead of singing anybody like album says he says he nee nee me atop bunny who are you my son interesting question it looks like a shem lifts the language of the akkada sit style that one dialogue between Isaac and Avram on top of the mountain the only dialogue was recorded the time between harmonizing and somehow places here right in the story and now puts these words in the ninth month of Yakko Yakko or let's say a little differently Hashem is telling us that Yaakov is using the language of the akkada in this discussion as if to say he's coming before his father he starts speaking that dialogue he knew that dialogue he knew what happened top of the mountain or God wants us to to understand that he utilized he knew it but what I'm supposed to you learn for this the fact that Yaakov is using the language of the Ocado again one more time at the Ocado what do we see it's Isaac who says the words to his father the Yeomen gets tough 11 love him Isaac is the son and album is the father and Isaac the son says avi my father and Avram the father says he named eben II I'm here you free my son and now in our story Yaakov is a saw and yes luck now becomes the father and what does Yaakov do Yaakov quotes the words that Isaac said when he was at the Sun at the Ocado as if to say my father yet star I want to remind you about the Ocado remember that Ocado where your father had to do something which he didn't want to do it was totally against his nature but he had to do it because it was the will of Hashem remember that okay no I'm gonna speak to you in the language but now you're the father and I'm the son but I'm gonna remind you of that okay to experience so you should understand that I am doing something now which is indicator for me this is my Aikido this is my sacrificing Isaac this is a this is the akkada slack off I'm going against my nature right now if I give all of this I'm coming to you right now doing something that I don't want to do I'm hinting this to you in the language of the Ocado well your father had to do something that he didn't want to do but he had to do it because the will be Shem I'm doing something I don't want to do I'm doing something totally against my nature but I'm doing it because it's the will of Hashem the yoga the yoga loveth the Gilbert avi he says my father language indicator and Yitzhak almost gets it for your mare he named me he looks his back he named me I get it this is the language of the Ocado I know the dialogue I remember it he says he nee nee but he doesn't get it completely because then instead of saying he naming buddy I'm here for you my son he says he nee nee I'm here me atop the knee it's two words in between Mia Taba knee who are you my son he almost gets it but Yakov is trying to hint something this is my Aikido I'm going against my nature my father just like your father did something didn't want to do I'm doing something that I don't want to do and I want you understand that there's something going on right now I'm being tested understand this is a test for me so what happens it says for Yomi yakovel loveth he says who are you the Yomi Yakov of anak who says to his father I know he I said before aho they can read that into one of two ways I know he a sabaha raha I am ace of your firstborn or you can read it like this who are you he says I know he I am i ace of the her at home he was your firstborn over the mitigates lie I am i they said your firstborn oh that's also a reminder of the akkada because remember what Avram said over there when when Isaac gets the comments and he says he's looking around and he says I see the I see the mihalis I see the knife and I see the fire but where's the RAM for the offering and what is album say back a champion since back to opportunity is he said for youma have a little king one more time Yahoo Hawk says we go Mohini our H fights and I see the fire I see the wood for is Sailor Oliver where's the RAM for the offering by Yo Ma Avram and optimises back to get stuck a little Kim D willow I said Lola bunny God will provide the RAM for the offering my son you can read that in one of two ways either God will provide the RAM for the offering , my son a guide will provide the RAM for the offering my son it's gonna be you interesting this sucks comment back to part of me yeah coughs comment back to his clock again is that play on words just like at the Ocado i am i a such a first one another indication I see another hint of a reminder that I'm in my akkada right now I'm doing something against my nature understand it the same time the arc of the mane of truth doesn't wants to mitigate the lie so what happens he says I see sick I should the bottle i I get all you told me to do Kuna please get up Bobby Oakland with Sadie Sadie and eat of my food before tomorrow honey neufchatel in order that your soul should bless me for young me get Scott helpin oh and gets access to her son Madison be hard to them so Bernie how'd you get back here so quickly my son for Omer and and Jakob says he he crush em look out for the fund I because I Shem your God prepared my way interesting like yo me guess doctor Yakov and yes like says d Alko good Shawn now please come over here if I'm shooting company let me feel you hunters have been a civil or are you really my son a son or not why is Yakov suspicious he suspicious for two reasons number one how'd you get back here so quickly that's pretty you know he just sent him out number two he's confused by the language he's hearing Yakko says to him come na which means please please get up sit and eat from the game that I'm bringing you so I'm a freshman Rashi common sense comments is a khulna that word please apparently Asaph never said please it says she madonna by russian taka noona this language of a request come now please get up ace of russian canto in DeBary he suddenly spoke very harshly without please your cumavi the father should get up no please so number one usually which please knock over you're trying to pretend you're ace of could you control your speech a little bit there's now the time to express your you know good personality traits and say please you have a mission to accomplish why are you giving it away using the word please and making your father suspicious and then yes like system or like well how did you get back so quickly and yahoo says key crescendo huh tonight he says because your God prepared my way oh very confusing tickets why because apparently a sub never spoke about a chef and the actor was always speaking about a chef and now yes Huck is confused please he's speaking about him and that's why he says to him Kishan Navi I'm sure company please come close let me feel you my son how does it mean so what are you really a self or not yes luck has before him someone that he doesn't recognize now Yakov strangely enough after being discovered as it were and causing his father to be enormously suspicious and not just as just a suspicious seems like yakko's encouraging the suspicion instead of backing away and saying listen you know I guess the trick is over and you figure it out if I II got shackled I get stuffed with if ya come approaches Isaac his father for he was shaken and yes Huck feels him for younger and yet Clark says a Coco Yaakov for your dying day so the voice of the voice of Jacob but the hands of the hands of Asaph he's saying please he's speaking about him that's Yaakov speech that's the alcove talk but the hands are the hands of Asaph it feels hairy for know he Kiro he didn't recognize him kou end of case of he didn't recognise me cuz my hands with the hands of a some I don't recognize him and then it's like does something which is so rational he doesn't recognize him why because I handle the hands of ace of ahimsa erupt they were hairy right at this juncture there's like a Ben comma in the sentence he doesn't recognize him so what should get stuck to at this juncture well maybe should call for rifki for Rebecca could you please come over for a moment last I recall we had two sons we had the son who could master the physical world he had those hairy hands he can make things happen with other son who had that raised great tunnel he has great theoretical concepts and this is a world of purity and a beautiful speech and voice expressing God's Word always as far as I recall we only have two sons there's a mystery man in front of me I don't know I wish I had this third son I wish I had a son who could make this happen in the world and also had the beauty of terror in his mouth but I don't have such a son and I having somebody in front of me who seems to have both qualities okay come on from oh please like didn't we have a third son that I don't know about but it doesn't call for Africa the next verse the next word says they give our heigh-ho and he blesses him how can he bless him if he didn't know who he was he's a mystery the answer I'm going to suggest I think isn't is that fit so beautifully and I want to thank Robbie David for him and really for pointing me in this direction in this piece many years ago the key to the story really lies in that those words a quote call Yaakov via diamond Asaph meaning as we mentioned Yaakov Yitzhak seed we wish that he had that third son who had both qualities who could master the world at the same time hand Torah but he doesn't have that third son he has to make a choice between two sons I have that one son ASA I know he's not perfect I'm aware of that but it's gonna be a long Carlos is coming along exile it's gonna be a very difficult journey for the Jewish nation I need to give that blessing to the one who could go in the world and make it happen and protect the Jewish people I provide for the Jewish people if I give it to Jakov he's gonna be blown away by the world is gonna be washed away I have to give it takes rifka sees it differently first of all rifka understands how dangerous a something yes maybe because she grew up in the house of love and bassoon detects really the the the rut really the lens character was not what you thought it was and she also understands something about Yaakov the Jessica doesn't understand she understands about Yaakov that Jakob isn't just a man who's theoretical isn't just a man who lives in the world of big ideals and ideas he could be practical he could be a doer he could get things done he too has those hands that get stuck so desires and loves now why doesn't riff could just sit down with you with with you Scott can speak to him about it maybe she can't maybe his not gonna believe her why did Yaakov sit down and speak speak to his father about it maybe I can open this cut will believe anything therefore rifki design is a test and says listen Yaakov you have to go in and you have to show your father that you have those qualities that he so loves an ace of that you could be practical that you could be cunning that you could be even a little bit sneaky if need be because if it's imported you'll get the job then you have hands I want you to go to your father and reveal to your father that he's that third that you're that third son that he wished he had you have the hands of an Asaph and you have the beautiful tour of you Yaakov you're that third son show him that your third son in other words I don't want you to deceive your father I want you to reveal to your father that you have qualities that he didn't know that you had and that's why first thing I curse is back but I'll be like it to see for her not that I'll be a deceiver I'll be like a deceiver because when you do something which is little deceptive you are like a deceiver but yakko's test is I have to do this because this is what needs to be done and therefore it's an enormous test this is his Ocado it's his akkada because he's going against that fine refined sense of truth and he has to change his level truth truth is what needs to be done if it's the will of God this is the will of God I have to do it even it's a little bit deceptive for him that's an enormous test because it's again his nature and then he goes forward he starts to hint to you talk remember the akkada remember when your father had to do something which was against his nature didn't want to do I'm doing something against my nature but I need to do it so he starts using the language of the Ocado he throws it in there and you starts getting it like I'm hearing that this is the language of Cana something's going on he almost gets it Mia Tom Denis and and Yaakov goes forward he speaks the language of Yaakov he purposely speaks the language ever I want you understand I'm Yakko how'd you get back so quickly Hashem your God prepared my way I don't want you to think I'm not a Yakko I am Yakko but I'm Yakko who can be like a sub when I need to be it I am that third son I am that mystery son I am what you wanted that's why it says when you'd stop didn't recognize him why because the hands are the hands of a son its stead of calling for rifka and selling who is he Yitzhak blesses him because he discovered something Yaakov revealed to him I'm the son you wished in half I'm the son of voice and hints I'm the son who can make things happen in the world by also that beauty of time I can do both and when the Asaf discovers that he blesses now interestingly where does rifka place the hair she places on his hands to loot the fact that I have the hands too and she places it where on the soft part of his neck we mentioned Arif and Safari no one seems to have hair over here and no one blesses a person by grabbing them over there neither what's the hint that she's trying to communicate what's the hint that Yaakov is trying to communicate to his father he's saying to his father I have hair where on my neck what's under the soft part of the neck over the Voicebox the part of the body or speech emanates into the world my father gets caught well you think I'm only voice well you think I'm only theoretical concepts well you think I'm just ideals and idealism I'm putting hair there why to show that I can be practical also I'm not just pure voice I'm here plus voice I'm what you want I'm watching wonder person you wish you had I'm it I am that son you don't need to give it to a nation you can give it to me because I do have those qualities and look I'll prove it to you look what I'm doing right now I'm going against my nature to do something which is deceptive because this is what I need to do to make it happen because I have a prophecy my mother this is the will of God right now I need to do it I can be deceptive I could go against my nature I'm not locked into a narrow definition of truth I look and see truth in a way to understand that truth is the Divine Will and I'm going to do what needs to be done what I have to this is the akkada see a coffee he had to go against his nature he had to reveal to his father that he had the qualities of an Asaph so story is not a story of deception it's a story of revelation means really who he really was and of course once he reveals that he's God blesses him and it had to happen this way for some reason that had to happen in the fashion whereby the Yaakov had to overcome his nature he had to find in himself the ability to to be deceptive if need be to go against truth to understand that sometimes truth is the Divine Will even when he doesn't make sense to you Yaakov needed that parody he needed that and for his own personal development to be that person who would ultimately bring be the father of the 12 father and the progenitor of the Jewish nation so the stuffing has a surface loved one has in level right underneath it which is the real story a story of Revelation not deception and it's a story really of the greatest test of yaku's life this is his a cage to overcome his natural quality of truth and do what needs to be done and God tests him that and it seems like he passes the test and he does what what needed to be done in order to secure the blesses shame should bless us all that we should pass the test that he gives us we should understand that any test we give is always going to be a test is going to challenge the hard core of who we are to overcome our nature in the service of Gandhi this ref Destler said once so beautifully but we love that God is what he changes nature for us he splitsies Mun falls from from from the heavens what God loves about us it will be overcome in our change our nature for him Alfred in earthly akkada and yes luck and c3 Yaakov does is right here in his seemingly deceptive act to secure the blessings which are so necessary for the future of the Jewish nation look forward to the discussion next week everybody wishing everybody a wonderful week we'll see everybody next week once again
