Parshas Toldos

Parshas Toldos (5776)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Yitzchok was the amud of avoda, korbonos and tefilah, a complete bitul to Hashem, making it comprehendible the lack of sensitivity to Esav’s shortcomings. Rivka had the maalah of the סור מרע of Yitzchok and had the sensitivity to pick up his negative traits. Being to spiritual can lead to an unawareness.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a chodesh of geulah.

Parshas Chayei Sara

Parshas Chayei Sara (5776)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

We find (24:67) that there was a unique connection and bond between Yitzchok and his mother, Sara. Without question there was a special reason for this. We must know that Sara, being an עקרה, meant that giving birth was a complete physical impossibility. How did the awesome phenomenon of having Yitzchok come about? Rashi 15:5 explains that when Hashem called Avraham Avinu outside ויוצא אותו החוצה ואמר הבט נא השמימה וכו’and Rashi explains: הוציאיו מחללו של עולם והגביהו למעלה מן הכוכבים. When Hashem called Avraham Avinu outside under the Heavens and declared to him that he was no longer under the stars but above, the stars represented the mazalos, meaning the natural order of the Creation. These are the tools that are the realization of the manifestation of the world. The implication of this is so far reaching and infinite. Yitzchok Avinu was born from Sara, from the special Divine blessing. Avraham and his progenity resemble conventional human beings but we are not. Yitzchok felt a special connection with his mother, Sara Imeinu, who was the shaliacha of the Divine means of how Yitzchok made his presence into this world.

This is the secret and basis of the glorious and miraculous history and present existence of Klal Yisroel.

Rashi 24:67 says that Rivka replace Sara who Yitzchok had a special kesher to the one who brought him into this world, completely void of any laws of nature למעלה מן הטבע. And here we are continuing above the laws of nature.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a fulfilling Chodesh.
