Parashat Vajezè 5771
Our Torah portion opens with the extraordinary Jacov dream of our father. My teacher Rabbi Chajm shlita Della Rocca, recalls Jacov often does this dream so important spiritual and sleeping on the ground. A Charan Jacov dream about animals instead. Hence it is better to sleep on the floor in Erez Israel and in the best comfort in the throat.
For many years I've underestimated the importance of this teaching. According to the Midrash Jacov has just been robbed by the son of Esau, who was sent to kill him. 'The poor has died as a ' Jacov says the Talmud, and wants to put in a position to tell his father of having killed him. Jacov is so poor. He sleeps on the floor perhaps because it does not have to pay an accommodation to Luz, which was nearby. The Midrash, it is known, says instead that the earth is shortened, and so on, and he was caught by the night. This also explains why Jacov has transgressed the tests they say: you must enter the city before dark. Perhaps the double miracle of the earth and the days get shorter, which is to not allow him to arrive in a city where perhaps he could not sleep on the floor. It should be remembered that Jacov has a very rich dad. And even Abraham was rich. This sudden state of poverty must surely have impressed our patriarch, and this is also seen that the required materials included in the prayer.
Similarly Jacov becomes rich thanks to their talent and work, regardless of family wealth. Interestingly, the attention raises the materiality Jacov: Rashi explains the attachment to the small vessels of oil over the next Jabbok the Torah. The just struggle for their livelihood and do not waste anything.
Poverty and material wealth is accompanied by poverty and spiritual wealth. Rav Mordechai Elon shlita Charan speaks often in terms of 'Khaal Kadosh ', the term for the Community. Jacov to Charan has an intense spiritual life. In the dark throat of the tzaddik light shines more. A Charan Jacov gives birth to eleven twelfths of the Jewish people as a daughter. A Jacov Charan lays the groundwork to become Israel.
Dispel The Emet states that the revelation of the dream of the ladder is when Jacov accept a spiritual descent. Jacov choose to enter the darkness of Galut to pave the way for the Jewish people in each of his exile. This descent is aware but no less tough. So the Rabbi of Gur explains the fact that the revelation is in a dream. Jacov chooses a level where the direct revelation from awake ' aspeklaria meira ' , is not possible. Perhaps it also is defined as the midrash says that when Jacov not want to climb the ladder, even after the call Divine. This is the moment for establishing the tradition Jacov Arvit prayer, in its complexity, a prayer is not compulsory then codified by the Sages. It is prayer in the dark, in adversity. Jacov reaches you on the basis of applied stress during the day. The dream is therefore a great proof of the virtues of Jacov who manages to drag in the dark of night and the light of Torah Galut Erez Israel. The size of Jacov lies not in their head. He should be proud of the dream, says Dispel Emet, and yet afraid. Fear of not being up to it.
On the contrary, Charan Jacov resurrected. Move huge stones with the power of faith, it becomes recognized source of blessing (Lavan and his sons) married twice, gives birth to children and became Israel.
When the Sages say that it is better to sleep on the floor in Erez Israel and on pillows Charan are giving us a clue about much deeper than we think. It is not just a matter of evidente attaccamento sentimentale ad Erez Israel. C’è qualcosa di più.
La forza di Erez Israel è tale da renderla il centro gravitazionale della Torà, anche quando il livello spirituale apparente è superiore nella Golà. Maimonide, sottolinea che il Rosh Chodesh dipende dal Tribunale di Erez Israel. E persino se tutti i Saggi sono in golà e tre soli pastori ignoranti in Erez Israel, sono
questi ultimi a stabilire e santificare il primo del mese.
Dispel the Emet stresses that Kedusha bursts of Erez Israel in the miracle of the concentration of the Earth according to the Midrash is gathered throughout the body in the right. So also the time shrinks into a single point of juncture between past present and future. Jacov later rabbinic imagination is the soul that holds all souls. Time, Space and Man Olam Hashanah and Nefesh, contract. The Rabbi of Gur says that this phenomenon is parallel to the fact that God, Blessed be He, who is infinite, is 'take out' his presence between the two poles of the Ark, which later was placed in exactly the same place where you Jacov stretches. Jacov and all l’universo con lui, ‘implode’ nel luogo in cui si contrae la Shechinà stessa.
Nel pensiero dello Sfat Emet ciò che mette in moto questo meccanismo è la ‘ nostalgia di Jacov per Erez Israel ’ . Tale nostalgia è segnalata dalla raccolta delle pietre, sulla scia del verso dei Salmi che dice ‘ Ki razzù avadecha et avanea ’ . I tuoi servi hanno desiderato le sue pietre. Queste pietre, che si cementano poi in un’unica pietra, sono per lo Sfat Emet le lettere della Torà. Jacov, con il his love of Erez Israel made through the stones of the prayer-letters Arvit.
When, at the end of the Torah, Jacov is finally ready to return to Erez Israel, in negotiating the deal with Lavan, he tells his children to gather stones. The taking of possession of Erez Israel passing through the stones are designed as a letter of the Torah. It is perhaps for this reason that the Torah emphasizes that the difference between Israel and the rest of the world in the use of letters of the Hebrew language. What is to Lavan Yegar Saadi, is to Jacov Galed.
In an extraordinary insight Dispel the Emet cites the Midrash, God has put in the language of the Fathers the key to redemption. The Midrash is demonstrated with a number of alternate ways in which sentences of the Fathers, in particular those of our Torah and the Prophets and alternates also past and future verb form. Dispel the Emet explains that this is the deep sense of how deep a curious phenomenon of Hebrew grammar. The vav haipuch. The vav talked. The letter vav, which transforms the past into the future and vice versa.
The future redemption will be witness to the truth revelation of the past. Past and future come together through a vav, a letter which indicates the connection. The future becomes the past and the future of the past. The past is the future in his evidence and the future is rooted in historical experience. But to the Lord who is out of time, there is only the present. The vav talked then becomes not only the contact point between past and future, but also between man and D.
The adhesive of the Sanctuary are vavvè haamudim , where the vav becomes figuratively what holds together the curtains of the Mikdash.
It is no coincidence that the letter vav Jacov has a special relationship. Jacov is written almost always in bad form, without the vav. Only five times appears Jacov with vav. Are, by tradition parallel to the five times that Eliahu, the herald of redemption is written Elia, without vav. Jacov and Elijah are related by vav. The esprienza of the Fathers and redemption come through the vav.
Time, space, humanity, past and present are concentrated in one place.
's body that contains Jacov all souls come to coincide with Erez Israel. Future and the past become present. All letters become a vav.
This moment is a non-unique one-off. It is never finished. The meaning of the dream of the ladder in its various interpretations related to the history of Israel clearly. Jacov is still lying there, the universe and abnormal enclosed in the body of Jacov so that the Sages say that his ' djukan ' , his portrait, is engraved in the Throne D.
Rav Dessler in Mictav MeEliau dice, in versi poetici, che futuro e passato sono irrilevanti. Uno è solo ricordi, l’altro è solo speranze. Ma il presente ‘ chajechà u, vecullò rak nissionot. È la tua vita ed è tutto solo prove.
Jacov, nel profondo dell’abisso di un esperienza tutt’altro che simpatica, capisce che il passato di ricchezza e l’incertezza del futuro non contano nulla. Conta solo il presente ed il modo in cui si affrontano le prove che Iddio ci invia.
Può essere tremendamente difficile. È certo più facile la vita della comoda Santa Comunità di Charan. Ma non è quello che il Signore vuole. È meglio dormire per Terra in Erez Israel perché solo in Erez Israel è possibile collegare passato e futuro nel presente del Signore.
In Erez Israel Jacov non ha nulla, ma innesca la costruzione del Santuario in quel luogo. A Charan ha tutto, ma è nel luogo dove Lavan minaccia di distruggere tutto, peggio del Faraone.
La grandezza di questo insegnamento è proprio lo stravolgimento of the many clichés. There are endless excuses for not fulfilling the positive commandment of living in Erez Israel. Many are linked to the past and traditions. More on the future and to different projects. But only in Erez Israel can live in the present of our Jewish life.
throat can we avrere more. In Israel we can be. To be present.
curious that the verb to be present in the Hebrew does not exist. The present tense of the verb to be is the name of Don, that you can not pronounce. If not at that place by the High Priest when it is clear that Israel and the Saint Benedict Both he and the Torah, is a c dares alone. Shabbat Shalom
