Shnayim Yomi - Eikev - Shishi - #6- Rabbi Mike Kashnow

[Music] Parv the sixth aliyah. This aliyah tells us a lot about and how deals with this woman says it's not like other lands that they have the Nile they have their water source rather this land that you're going into it's a land of of highs and lows serious extremes right and you don't have any real water source the way that the the land gets sustenance is from rain and if you want to have says then that if you want to have the if you want to have the blessing that the land should be blessed that the the physical and the and the should be blessed in the land the way to do it is by you have to listen to my mitzvah but not just listen double listening meaning really hear be open not just a cursory listening but be open to hearing what the what is saying. How does a person make himself open to hearing somebody else? How do you listen to become is you become humble? If a person's and he's so important he's just waiting for the person to finish talking so he can speak. He's not listening. A person who is actually listening is someone who is humble and says oh this person doesn't know what to teach me. I'm going to listen. I'm going to take myself out of the equation and hear what they're saying and let it have an impact on me before I make my opinion, before I come out and say what I have to say. Person who's humble, a person who walks with others with humility, that's a person who's able to listen. A person able to listen, able to listen to and then he'll find the and the have a great day.
