00:00:01.562 --> 00:00:11.574
In a recent interview conducted by the great by Volba of Houston, texas, the relative of his great Rabbi Botnik.

00:00:11.574 --> 00:00:43.152
The interview was a deep dive into the beautiful and magnificent nature of the or Ha'chaim Ha'Khadoosh's commentary on the Tyre A very interesting podcast to listen to and it goes into detail how the or Ha'im beautifully synthesizes, shot and muser, understanding the words as they mean quite literally, with beautiful, exquisite lessons for us to take home.

00:00:43.152 --> 00:00:57.555
And here, zedra by Botnik, in our part of the Parashasva'a Ichi, we are privy to one of the top three or Ha'im Ha'Khadoosh's ala Tyre that one needs to know.

00:00:57.555 --> 00:01:04.882
And the scene, what's going on in the verse, is the blessings have been given, kola'eila.

00:01:04.882 --> 00:01:09.209
The Tyre says in summation Shivte Yisrael, shneimosar.

00:01:09.209 --> 00:01:13.980
These are the twelve tribes Vizos, asher, dibir, lahem, aviam.

00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:16.584
And this is what Jacob said.

00:01:16.584 --> 00:01:29.433
This is what their father said to them, vayivorech Osam, and he blessed them Ish Ashek, birchasso, barach Osam, man, according to his blessings, did he bless them?

00:01:29.433 --> 00:01:35.873
Now the seemingly superfluous nature of the text is jumping off the page.

00:01:35.873 --> 00:01:38.400
So listen to the or Ha'im Now.

00:01:38.441 --> 00:02:15.194
Ha'royi, like Kephi Bechina, neshmasa'u, kephi Mysav, the Yakovavino understood the special uniqueness, the, what I like to call the different kite of each soul of these tribes, and he blessed their uniqueness, that they should be able to hone and develop that skill, that part of the soul that made them remarkably rare, that they should be able to develop it and enhance it to fulfill their job in the world.

00:02:15.194 --> 00:02:25.706
Not a general bracha, but Yehuda, be lion like those are your tychunos, ruvane, stay away from being so impetuous.

00:02:25.706 --> 00:02:27.632
He was blessed in that area.

00:02:27.632 --> 00:02:35.992
Naftali, all the different blessings for each separate son, and now the verse reads beautifully.

00:02:35.992 --> 00:02:44.493
And he blessed them Ish, ashek, birchasso, each according to his uniqueness, according to his blessings.

00:02:44.493 --> 00:03:04.454
Birchosam, he blessed that in the tribes we can fall prey to borrowing meadows, to using stolen craft, kleychamosmicheyreisayem, to just trying to fit in in our success, doing what everyone else is doing.

00:03:05.502 --> 00:03:06.507
Success is individual.

00:03:06.507 --> 00:03:29.324
We each have our own job, our own role in Tyra, developing our own sort of carving out, our own job in life and maximizing that so that we can, god forbid, place this yoke of what we define as success in our lives on our children and force them to take our paths, force our spouses to take this route to success, for it's my way or the highway.

00:03:29.324 --> 00:03:42.707
But every soul, we are reminded, has a certain blessing, a uniqueness, something that makes them remarkably gifted and special, and without them and their job in this world, this world would be missing, would be Chhosa.

00:03:42.707 --> 00:03:48.048
And that was the blessing to bless each son according to his gifts.

00:03:48.048 --> 00:03:58.453
And that's our job To develop our talents, to hone our skills, mastering them, enhancing them, developing them.

00:03:58.453 --> 00:04:03.169
Our own yichr, our own specialness, our own different kite.

00:04:03.169 --> 00:04:15.593
For that is what the Apostle is telling us from this great top three, chhosa and Chhosa, that Ish Asher, kibir Chhoso, beir Chhosa, he blessed them according to their blessings.
