Toledot - Seeing the Soul next to You
Toledot - Seeing the Soul next to You
When do you see the soul of the person next to you?
Can we learn a lesson from the Patriarchs and Matriarchs?
When Isaac first beheld Rebecca she fell off her camel and immediately put on a shawl -
as ladies do in Synagogues today - in awe of the Almighty
Rabbi Shlomo Katz compiled a new book of explanations from Rabbi SHLOMO Carlebach's talks,
On this portion he brings the REALIZATIONs from our forefathers:
when Isaac recognized the GREATNESS of his wife Rebecca -
-seeing her willingness to leave her wicked father's house and join Abraham's worship of the one Almighty and Holy G-d
and
when Isaac recognized the greatness of his son Jacob -
who ran to create a dinner for his Dad who was afraid he might be on the quick route to the Next World
(And when Abraham recognized the Greatness of his son Isaac - who willingly joined in the possible sacrifice for the Word of G-d - which in the end worked out better-
when G-d told them it was just a test -
to prepare future generations for difficulties in worship of G-d)
Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach said it (seeing into the SOUL next to you) happens
when you try to see it:
Sometimes at great moments in your life
and Sometimes when tou get DEEP into prayer you can sense the greatness of others
Let's all try some of both ways this Shabbat
And SHARE those realizations with our loved ones
Shabbat Shalom

Remember that the Almighty told Abraham to trust in what Sarah told him
Remember The Almighty told Abraham that all Israel Canaan was given to Abraham's children
In Hebron there will be thousands visiting for Shabat -Abraham's children
Staying at friends or sleeping on floors
To stay near the resting Patriarchs and Matriarchs
To commemorate Abraham purchasing Land for an ETERNAL burial place
The place where also King David RULED the first 7 years of his reign
ALL THIS 3 Thousands of years ago
Please remember that when you see or hear the 'media's talk about land occupied by Arabs
May we all have a safe and sweet Shabbat

Who visited Abraham in Canaan? The Almighty.
So what did Abraham do? He asks the Almighty to wait while he invites 3 strangersinto his tent? Why?
The Talmud Wisom teaches us that inviting guests is thus greater than Speaking to G-d? Why?
Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach used to say - it is a GREAT thing to know what your Purpose is in this world.
Abraham and Sarah knew their purpose was to CREATE the Israelitish People - and they KNEW they had to create an atmosphere where THE WORLD WOULD COME TO PRAY TOGETHER WITH THEM!
As we say on the High Holidays "because my house of Prayer is a House of Prayer for All People.
That is why the Almighty SENT the 3 ANGELS ( who seemed to Abraham just passersby) - to test him.
And so the Almighty was HAPPY that Abraham ran to invite them in -
and in the end the Almighty spoke again with Abrahamandah - and told them they would soon have Isaac - who would bring joy to the world!
May we all find our purpose in life - and pass our tests - and bring the light of the L-rd into the world.
Shabbat Shalom
