Shnayim Yomi - Lech Lecha - Chamishi - #5 - Rabbi Chaim Zvi Senter - The Avraham Avinu Within Us

Paras the fifth Abrau has been through a lot but yet has no children and it's something which is weighing on him and the says he says that what can you give me already if I'm barren and it's only that's going to be the one that's going to continue um that's going to carry on my work. Says to him, he says, "He will not inherit you." Takes him out. And he says, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars if you could count them." And he said to him, "So will be your children." And David Salvik. He points out that this mentions twice that said to now it seems to be one conversation. So why does it say look up to the heavens? Why does it have to say it again? Why does it have to be a second mention of that Hashem is speaking? says David Salvich that when Hashem told Araino go and count the stars. You know what Avraino did? He went outside and he counted the stars. He started counting one two three four. So there was a break between the first statement where Hashem told Abram count the stars like okay I'll count them. and he starts counting and then and then after a while Hashem says you can't count them right there there's they're they're numerous so will be your children and perhaps part of the idea of koa is not just that your children will be numerous but your children will be like you know went set out to do something that was absolutely impossible you can't count the stars and hashem said do it he did That's the way we are the Jewish people. Hashem tell us to do something, we do it. Doesn't make a difference if we don't know how it's going to happen. We trust Hashem and we do whatever he asks.
