00:00:01.923 --> 00:00:22.567
Ever since that rising sun on her wedding day, when Rachel E Manu raised her eyes to the heavens to thank Hashem, she has most widely been known and most simply called as just mom, mama Rachel, the mother of the Jewish people.

00:00:22.567 --> 00:00:30.923
But see, long before this she actually had a problem on her hands when she wanted to be the mom of Klaw Yisrael.

00:00:30.923 --> 00:00:33.930
But slight issue, she doesn't have a womb.

00:00:33.930 --> 00:00:44.795
But eventually we figure out and we're clued into how it is that she got the impossible done.

00:00:44.795 --> 00:01:00.027
Listen here, partius of Eyeh says that after Bilhah gave birth to the child Naftali and this is a son that really falls underneath Rachel because it's Rachel's maid servant and Rukha was calling the baby a name.

00:01:00.027 --> 00:01:00.868
And what did she say?

00:01:00.868 --> 00:01:01.582
Naftali?

00:01:01.582 --> 00:01:03.304
Why Was that Zadie's name?

00:01:03.304 --> 00:01:05.266
That's why you named the kid Naftali.

00:01:05.266 --> 00:01:08.203
No, but the Kareh Shemob Yisrael.

00:01:08.203 --> 00:01:19.036
Naftali because I was crooked and I was twisted in my davenings.

00:01:19.036 --> 00:01:20.906
And in my Yiddish code, what?

00:01:20.906 --> 00:01:23.004
Yeah, that's what Rashi says.

00:01:23.004 --> 00:01:24.724
Rashi says what's Naftali?

00:01:24.724 --> 00:01:30.864
It's Ikesh Upsalto, crooked and twisted that's not exactly a good name to help the kid out in Shadukh.

00:01:30.864 --> 00:01:34.692
But says Rashi because Rachel was.

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:47.543
And this Akashdi they have tsarti btsirasun naftulim harbe la mokimchi never stopped davening, almost in a certain sacred, scheming type of way, because it was impossible for it to have a kid.

00:01:47.543 --> 00:01:49.584
But, hashem, I need this to happen.

00:01:49.584 --> 00:01:50.649
This is my destiny.

00:01:50.649 --> 00:01:52.084
This is what it's meant to be.

00:01:52.084 --> 00:01:55.748
Ladies and gentlemen, rabir Rukham tells us it's what?

00:01:55.748 --> 00:01:58.304
Maybe an idea that hasn't made it over to America.

00:01:58.304 --> 00:01:59.748
But we're an akshunim.

00:01:59.748 --> 00:02:03.430
We are stubborn in certain areas, but in Rukhniyas we could be soft like a cupcake.

00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:19.462
Rahili Menu taught us that in Rukhniyas, with enough tvila, with a stubbornness I think it's Khana, who almost secluded herself with a man, not telling anyone to do that, but that was all just so she could have a kid and to be considered an asoyta, and this to have shmuel.

00:02:19.462 --> 00:02:24.717
But what happens when somebody decides that they are going to do something?

00:02:24.717 --> 00:02:31.292
And this is a sacred scheme they give up on nothing until they tried every effort, every maneuver.

00:02:31.292 --> 00:02:35.250
They are hifzarti ptsirasv naftulim harbe.

00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:38.366
So yeah, you may call it dirty play, but it's not.

00:02:38.366 --> 00:02:45.330
I just daven my face off over and over, like Moshe daven more than 500 times to go into Eretisro.

00:02:45.330 --> 00:02:49.599
Naftali, naftali, naftali, naftali.

00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:59.628
Be in action, be stubborn in your world of Rukhniyas, because I am becoming a God fearing Jew and I'm getting this accomplished.

00:02:59.628 --> 00:03:04.425
So get out of my way, the same way that Rukhli may do accomplish the impossible.
