Yitzchok the Korban

Continuing along with the theme of the raid of this week, which has been the Akedah. It's the parshas hashavua specifically the kachum components of the Akedah. I think it's good to be the Torah that we said over the other day from Brisk that the permission says over and over and over. It's an idea that permeates the the Brisk idea that permeates the Brisk idea that permeates the the Brisk idea that permeates the Rashi in the parsha of the Akedah says that after was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that that through I'm going to be that I was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given the Akedah was given What's going on over here? I'm so confused. I thought that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah was told that the Akedah what happened to give me a I don't know and now you tell me we're reinstating a please explain to me what's going on so I could just borrow who told him that's an excerpt from a in say chapter s I never intended to be my breath of and I every single thing that I said was 100% with the way I meant it how's that possible cuz when I told you I was changing my original Why because I never told you I told you put it on the okay sick you put them on the I know you took him off the back I don't lie I don't lie you didn't understand me maybe but I don't lie I've come to the and he tells him I'm so confused you told me wow I'm going to have through then you tell me there's going to be and then you tell me I'll there is going to be what's going on over here there's a flip-flop happening I'm not flip-flopping I everything I told you was consistent everything I told you I told you then I told you take put him on the okay why is that still now you were going to I had to tell you but there was no between and I know because but there was never an intention for you to go ahead and check them and being there was never an intention for you to go ahead and check them. So, there was no stirer in my words. I appreciate that I appreciate the honesty and the vulnerability. I mean you made a mistake. The idea was always I said put him on but at the same time you should go ahead and take it off. said that there were two things that bothered him tremendously with this the first thing that bothered very much with this is it comes out that what the telling is that when I said is because I never told you to go ahead and check them. I never told you to go ahead and to bring him as a a what I said was I said I said put him on take him off. That's what my intention was. You pulled out a master okay because you pulled out a master I had to stop you but that's what I told you. I wanted you to put him on and then take him off. That was the objective and if that's the case it was never a stirer to well if that's the case it emerges that it was never really an assign of that This whole story never really happened. It was a figment of the imagination of it was a misinterpretation of the never told to go ahead and check he told them put them on is that an assign of somebody tells you take your kid put them in the maybe he's afraid of heights I don't know then then take them back off. What's the grace in the sign here? I don't know what the nisayon is. And really there wasn't no false. What is the nisayon? Avraham Avinu misunderstood Hakadosh Baruch Hu. He misinterpreted him. And he thought that the halelu oila meant that he should go and put him on the mizbeach as an oila and shacht him and clap it what he thought it was a tremendous nisayon. And Avraham Avinu was prepared, he was muchan umzum to go ahead and be oila mizbeach nisayon. Aba lemaisa lemaisa it comes out it was all a toss. So said Rav Chaim, the nisayon of the Akeida is a mistake. It's a mistake? It's clapping the misunderstanding of Avraham Avinu that this is a nisayon of the Akeida as a kind of nisayon. The whole nisayon of the Akeida is like an ein aved tzibbur ba'eisa. Right, I thought you wanted me to do something, I was moiser nefesh to do it and I'm going to get schar with deirei doros. It it just doesn't feel right. But what I said Rav Chaim, but how's it possible bechlal that Avraham Avinu, the great navi, would misunderstand Hakadosh Baruch Hu so much? Hakadosh Baruch Hu tells Yitzchak, Avraham, take Yitzchak va'haleihu oila. Avraham Avinu understands haleihu oila means be makriv him as a korban oila. No, that's not what I meant. I meant put him on the mizbeach. I didn't mean va'haleihu like do a halala, do a hakrava with him, be maktir him on a fire which would require a shchita and a kabala and a halacha and a zrika. That's not bechlal what I meant. I meant a sicha and an achse. That's what I meant. I meant put him on and take him off. That's all I meant. That means Avraham Avinu completely misunderstood the Eibishter. And in the words of Rav Meis Soloveitchik, "Vi is dos as a navi farshteit nisht vos men retz. He poshut didn't understand." Bechlal not. The ta'am of haleihu was put him on the mizbeach and take him off. And Avraham Avinu thought it meant put him on the mizbeach, then go ahead and shacht him. Like to say it a little sharper. Avraham Avinu heard haleihu oila, immediately he jumped to his vochin. He ran to says, "What does halala mean?" Oh, halala tichila sach Torah leina mayales b'reish ameis bayach. right, all the references of halacha that you find in kashrut. Halacha is an avodah that was done with a carbon. And that's what Avraham Avinu understood. Now, the word olah is a little bit of a giveaway, right? It sounds like that's what's going on over here. It's not stand put him on the mizbeach. It's hallelu olah to bring him as a carbon olah. Avraham Avinu said the Eibershter is coming and the Eibershter is telling Avraham Avinu that's never what I meant. Vallelo olah meant just put him on the mizbeach. Put him on and take him off. Now, what does the word olah mean? See, you have to know. But, for right now, Avraham Avinu is completely misunderstanding Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Does not Does not understand Hakadosh. And if that's the case, then Reb Chaim, how's it possible that he is as a navi to understand what he is saying? So, two kashas. Number one, it comes out the way Reb Abba and Rashi explain what the Eibershter really meant when he said Vallelo olah, that there was never an intention for Avraham Avinu to have to shochet Yitzchak. If that's the case, there was never really an issur on the Akedah. If that's the case, the whole issur is a figment of the imagination of Avraham Avinu. Who would make as the issur on the Akedah was one big mistake? And that Lefi emes, Avraham Avinu was never really tested with the issur on the Akedah. Kilui is an issur of a lo ta'aseh. Lo ta'aseh is not like a mitzvah of a lo ta'aseh, right? The How is it possible that Avraham Avinu completely misunderstood what the Eibershter told him? How is that possible that a navi doesn't understand what he is saying? The portion does not understand the meaning of the word Vallelo. He made such a mistake. So, Reb Chaim said, So, Reb Chaim said, it's clear from these two kashas, it's clear from these two kashas, that Avraham Avinu got the word right and he understood 100% what the Eibershter had told him to do. And in essence, what the Eibershter had told him to do when he said Vallelo olah was not just put him on the mizbeach and take him off. But, it was to put him on the mizbeach the Torah's halachas carbon in a kotchum the guy open and to actually bring him as a a carbon oil. Well, if that's the case, then how could the Abishter say "Lo yachalo brisi umotzei sfosai sfosai lo yashana"? When the Abishter says "Al tishlach yadcha el hanar al ta'as lemu uma", he's very much backing off of what he said. Because the the hallel oil of Yitzchak was supposed to be a hallel oil of hallel oil of aktora. Well, that would require that it be preceded by a shchita and a kabala and a halacha and a zrika. The minute the Abishter says "Al tishlach yadcha el hanar al ta'as lemu uma", well, that means now you're not doing the avoidas hadam with Yitzchak. And if you're not doing the avoidas hadam with Yitzchak, you can't be mekayem the hallel oil of oila. And if you can't be mekayem the hallel oil of oila, so you're changing now all of a sudden it's it's motzei motzei sfosai lo yashana. It's motzei sfosai yashana. Now, you want to tell me "Yeah, I'm going to reinterpret"? That that's not what the Abishter says. He said "Lo yachalo brisi umotzei sfosai lo yashana". I'm telling you this is what I said, this is what I meant, it's consistent. I'm never flip-flopping. I'm never changing my mind. What do you mean? The minute the Abishter tells him "Al tishlach yadcha el hanar al ta'as lemu uma", now there's no way of being mekayem the hallel oil of oila. If there's no way of being mekayem the hallel oil of oila, so you just changed the whole narrative. So, said Rav Chaim, and here is the punchline, here is the lamdus, that you have to say that the whole hakrava of Yitzchak was a very you find anywhere that you make a kav of a person, right? Molech is one of the most chamudiga things in the world that involves such an Indian. A father, this is not something you're allowed to do. This was all part of the nisayon of the akeda like the Sforno and the Kli Yakar say. But, the bottom line is is that this was a very mechudashdig hakrava. One of the chidushim of this hakrava, said Rav Chaim, was that when the Abishter came to Avraham Avinu and he told him "I want you to take Yitzchak and bring him as a carbon", he never told him to do a shchita, kabala, halacha, zrika. What he told him was "Va'aleihu oila". Va'aleihu oila? Far the shchita, while he's alive and bring him as a carbon not to slaughter him and then do the slaughtering which is the same as a regular carbon. But rather right now you should go ahead and you should do a slaughter. When Hashem tells Avram he means the total slaughter carbon. That was the way that was given to Avram Avinu. Avram Avinu understood it perfectly well. He got it. He said that's what I'm supposed to do. I'm supposed to take Yitzchak and I'm supposed to put him on the total slaughter. It's not that the man just put him on the and Avram thought it should be total slaughter. The man put him on the total slaughter and Avram Avinu understood it and he understood he's supposed to put him on the total slaughter. And when Avram Avinu took Yitzchak and he put him on the he was being a dean of a way to do this carbon that was Yitzchak and that is a slaughter of a carbon. Now ordinarily the only time you could do a slaughter of a carbon is after the but with in the of Yitzchak that even before the even though Yitzchak was there was a way that you can go ahead and you can take Yitzchak and you can be slaughter him you can do a slaughter right now with Yitzchak. Now Yitzchak is on top of the Avram Avinu understood and rightfully so that if I was just Yitzchak with Yitzchak a dean slaughter Yitzchak is still alive cuz I was only the only way to do it. I was the slaughter. He's still alive. He's on the He's an so what am I supposed to do now? I'm probably supposed to go I have an what do you do with an you slaughter it you do slaughter Avram Avinu understood that it's the of that the next move is to go ahead and do a and that was a good it was a very good because if you have a then it's you're talking and it's that that's the and that's what you're supposed to do and by the way that's within the of the was that after you're going to be you're going to now go a step lighter and you're going to do the and by you going ahead and doing that now you're going to lose your that's within the of the playing itself out but here's the point the never told Avraham specifically do the he just told him the which Avraham was and and once he was the he understands the that that's the next move so what does Avraham Avinu do listen to this he takes out the and he's about to go ahead and he's about to do the and then all of a sudden don't do the what do you mean don't do the he's an I have to do the said in those words about the was being the that followed the and the saying that you're right and really now that was brought the over he was brought the he was a so it's you stop he's still alive you have to go ahead and all that you're always supposed to when you're having but I'm being the application to go ahead and do that at this point it's going to be I don't I don't want you to go fight it I don't want you to do the I don't want you to do the I don't want you to do I don't want you to do this I don't want you to I want don't want you to do the the rest of the this as soon as Avraham Avinu hears that, he turns to Hakadosh Baruchu, let's revisit Rashi. And he says, I'm so confused. Yesterday you told me so I thought I'm going to have a then you tell me go bring him as an oil. I'm going to lose him. And now you tell me I'm going to have him. What's going on over here? I'm like Hakadosh Baruchu, Hakadosh Baruchu told him no. I was consistent all along. I never lied to you. When I told you I never told you I never told you I never told you I never told you I never told you I never told you I never told you I never told you I never told you I never told you I never told you I never I never told you what did I say? I said I said everybody learns this Rashi. What the telling him now is I never told you to bring him as a carbon. I just said put him on the and then you're going to take him off. Then I'm going to then you're going to take him off. If that's what the is telling Avraham now he meant I would say you. I said I meant you Why are you jumping to Hakadosh? I just meant put him on the put him on the Well, if that's the case, that means there was never a din on Yitzchak. That means there was never really even an implied of the So can't be can't be there was no of the It can't be there was no implied of the It's impossible that that's the case. Can't be that in the of the the was no Indian of taking Yitzchak and him. Right? The parents I thought there was. Because when the says I told you I didn't mean just put him on the I meant bring him as a carbon I meant I meant I meant I meant bring him bring him as a carbon And if I meant bring him as a carbon Well, then by definition then by definition what you're going to have to do is you're going to have to go ahead and him. The reason it's I as honest fossil is because I never said before I shake them. The whole street was only in the Spanish from the mail. It was only something that you were able to extrapolate. If he's an idol and he's alive, then obviously that's what you're going to do. But I never said before that that's what you're supposed to do. I mean that I never said before that that's what you're supposed to do. So it's for that reason. So now I think they actually there's there's no stereo. It's it's not going to be okay. What was the second question? The second question was V is those of another was the question was because it sounds like when the told him what he meant to say was he meant to say just to put him on the and I thought bring him as a carbon. There is meant bring him as a carbon. It meant bring him as a carbon. One second if meant bring him as a carbon. So now that you're saying I'll not about to and you're going to tell me oh it's semantics. I just said I think they actually know you said as a carbon. And now when you tell me about it comes out I was not I lay you as a carbon. That's where the punchline comes in. You were as a carbon because didn't carbon and being that he had a carbon so it's for that reason. When I was the he was a real and was not being so so there. Okay. If the I lay you would end up meaning just put him on the and then take him off. And I understood that it was supposed to well then he completely didn't understand what he was supposed to do. It would mean that I never really had the inside of the data. If it would mean but let's be this that when the said he meant potatoes. Hello. But now that he said now we're going to back into an interpretation of just means put him on the that's a complete of what the hallelujah really supposed to be Because that the hallelujah was supposed to be and this hallelujah was not supposed to be the parents is you have to say that the hallelujah was supposed to be and they is but what does that mean where do you have of a carbon if you didn't first have the that's the punchline it was that even though he was alive still that hallelujah was a hallelujah of a car it was a love of a carbon and that's where this big speaks that it was that even though he was a where do you see that you see that because the saying that when I said I meant it has to be a meant it can't be that at the end of the day does not mean because if doesn't mean it means one or two things either they flip flop changed his mind and I said no or it means meant it all along and I just didn't understand what I was talking about that can't even be cuz as I and it can't be in the imagination of is changing the type of that's not an option said because or means that completely misunderstood it that not changing his mind and that's what I always meant was put them on them as back the parents is the parents is I don't know if you know what is not changing his mind hallelujah means do a hallelujah that's what it means ordinarily a hallelujah would require that it be preceded by a which would then mean if it was never a that was done so now you never preceded it with a there's no way to be so all the hallelujah in the they could possibly be is I think they are just some regular basic my soul of Hallel. Well, if that's the case, it's it's my soul of Sukkot and Rosh Hashanah. The answer is it was Sukkot and Rosh Hashanah so the Hallel ends up being a Hallel but it is a korban now. Where did the korban come in? Hashem never told him to do a korban. Why does Avraham think to do a korban? No, he's right cuz in his not in his in his it could be as Avraham Avinu said and Avraham said don't do a korban. He's just being my the Torah of but he's not changing the words of the Hallel. Now, not doing a is has cosmic ramifications in the Torah but in the it doesn't alter it doesn't alter the initial Hallel. The initial Hallel was a Hallel of a korban but this is the here's the punchline. How we get there is a little hard. This is a real it's like a safer but the punchline of this is is said that everyone knows that Yitzchak Avinu was an Avinu. Rashi says throughout his Torah Yitzchak didn't marry a right Avraham married a maybe and Yitzchak married but Yitzchak is the one of the that you don't find married a why not cuz he was an and because he was a so that's the reason he couldn't. Avraham Avinu left Canaan. Yitzchak Avinu lives in for decades, right? Yitzchak was about to go to by here in the beginning of the told us and Avraham told him no, I'll tell him right he was going to do what his father did but I'll tell him you're not allowed to go. Why not? Why can't I go because you're not allowed to leave and you're not allowed to leave. So everyone understands Yitzchak was an what does it mean he was an he was an as an he was supposed to be an he could have would have should have been. Now, the was there, right? If somebody says you're not still an so everyone understands he's like an oil a baltacha almost, right? He was supposed to be brought as a carbon oil, but otherwise you never ended up bringing this carbon oil. As a statement, I would have been machadesh Yitzchak was actually brought as an oil. There was a carbon oil. There was really a carbon oil. And being that there was a carbon oil, so he was actually a carbon. He wasn't just niskaidesh b'ta'am oil. There was a carbon which could that carbon? Not the shchita, not the kabala, not the halacha, not the zrika d'halacha. The oil oil which is halacha achida, that's what was niskaidesh Yitzchak Avinu. That's an avoda that's not in carbon. And that avoda in carbon was done. We mentioned that Maran agrees used to say over this Chaim and he said two offices based on this Chaim. The first office that the Brisker Rav said is that Yitzchak Avinu is always referred to as an oil t'mima. So why an oil t'mima as opposed to what? As opposed to an oil that's about mom. Why would you think that Yitzchak Avinu was anything other than an oil t'mima? Said Maran agrees because in Yitzchak Avinu was niskaidesh that even when he was alive and he was pollen, he could even make a mitzvah of halacha. Ordinarily, the halacha part of the carbon has to come after the shchita because of the zrika because you're taking an animal that's already dead, right? Can't even be m'farkeses. Has to be dead. So you're taking an animal that's already dead and it's only then that you're going ahead and you're doing the halacha. Yitzchak was niskaidesh that the oil oil was a key of halacha's carbon. And he was an oil m'chaim. Oil m'chaim, that's the lashon of oil t'mima. Another office that Maran agrees said is that the possuk says V'yomer, the the malach comes and says "Tishach yodcha al hanar." V'altas lemu'ma. "Tishach yodcha al hanar" means don't shacht. And what's "V'altas lemu'ma"? So Rashi brings "Amali, Avraham Avinu told the malach "I didn't come to bring a possuk here." I came for nothing. "Es b'chelav oil." Let me make a kabala. "V'oitz mimenhu madom." And I'll take out a little bit of dam. "Amali, altas lemu'ma, altas b'mum." Don't do anything. So the Brisker Rav said that what did Avraham Avinu so badly want to go ahead and to take out a little bit of down. Why does he want to take out down? What was the purpose of taking out this little bit of down? So the told him say different reasons. But said the because really was an and he was already brought and why you have to do with an now what do you have to do when the said he was being like said the to go ahead and do a of Abraham made a and that maybe is only half gone the but maybe I still have a to go ahead and do a now usually comes after but I was already told but let me go ahead and make a I'll extract a little bit of blood and I'll go ahead and I'll do a that was that don't even take out but the bottom line is the reason wanted to take out a little bit of said the but again there's a lot of and a very good shot that's why it was possible for the I was the but let me go ahead and do a in play I saw another in the I saw this in the for I he brings in the name of his brother a barrel the father of Abraham salvation and said that it could be be most of one more based on the along with this and that is that the one of the cashes that everyone asks on the on the of the is is that why did Abraham put on the before he did the I was clear the was going to be done and the question is why did he have to be there so in they say it's because was an and and there was no because there was no so for that reason he put him on top of the based on the that has a of but said if you it's it's because when told by he was a to do a good job. Yitzchak had to go on the first. He had to go on the for the possible. You learn again, let's do this one last time. That the was going to be in the sky after the after the after they after they That's what the was going to be. So, do the on the floor. And when it comes time to the then you'll bring him up. Why is he doing the on the first? It's because he said that really the was to do a good job. That was the of if the is to go ahead and to do a good job. Well, the first thing you have to do is now you're going to go ahead and you're going to do the job. He had to put him on. He had to do a good job. You can't take him off, right? You can't take him off the once he's there, he has to stay there. So, at that point, once he's there already, the the had to be done another Indian that's beautiful. So, the bottom line is that we had the to go through some of the the not the easiest way in the world, but some of the as it relates to the and really two big that permeate all the one is what we spoke about earlier in the week. That is that even though that even though that took place really on the actually which would suggest then that that was a and the of the should be governed by the the says the and the was buying it from this team and team of that the that govern the was the of the not the second is the the was meant bring him on the as an even before the but he never told him to do the the is something that was understood and it was going to happen after the where do you ever have a where do you ever have a love before here? This is the only place they have it. This is a I mean the whole idea of taking your son and him is a So without question this was a but this is the it was a love me if that's the case it explains the love of it explains maybe why one catch out a little bit of it's for the same it explains why the had to be that is a is very much and we're going to stop here.
