What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
well I am in the midst of The Saga the story of Jacob and esev you know so I want to continue and we see a tremendous thing how there's really an overt story and there's a covert story and the amazing thing is that the covert story which is a story in a different level of understanding uses the exact same verses sukum of the Torah that talks about or is a narrative of the overt story that's the astonishing thing and like I say a beautiful example of all of this isov and that's what I'm doing now there's one more thing I want to say I mean there are people that find it very strange they never heard of this that asev wasn't was an of that's like incredible they never heard something like that I mean we're all familiar with the fact that there are three of us didn't have four of us not only that but that Asaf should be the fourth of astonishing that's what it is and to show that I read the text of a safer called Genesis written by the ram Khal Rama Sato where he says it himself now I want to also show you that it's not only the rambhal that says it Rashi the great commentator called Rashi he says it if you take a look at hookas right which is impossible I should say safe adverb here's what it says I think it's in Shady here's what it says when the Jewish people they're moving right and they want to pass the lands of edoim right to somehow because obviously uh you know edoim had the land South of Israel I'll say here was sort of like in the area of a lot so the Jews wanted to cut
