What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

ran away he fled to the field of Aram Aram is uh actually in the turret says he went to haran but Aram is uh the land of Lavan the land of bilham and Israel worked for a woman meaning yaka worked for a woman and for a woman he guarded literally so the obvious connection to that Torah is uh that speaks about the topic of the parashah how yakovino ran away from asab and he worked for a woman and for a woman he guarded so we're gonna we're gonna analyze a few things over here um first of all let's start with the rubiana's take on this pasta and this Indian we know we're familiar that say on the words in the beginning of the paste that there's a juxtaposition between the word vallets he left and he came he left and he went that the leaving and the and the coming are in close proximity to each other that's called Jacob right there's a concept that the land jumped to him Rashi even uh brings it down in the beginning of the parish look at number three round she says yaakov karalu shalayan basil yaakov called Jerusalem base of the zoo Lucy but really it was loose below your slimes how could you say that Yakov kodu shalayan Bay sale loses Basel so no he called Maria jumped yakovino so the question is why did yaakovino need to have he's not really in a rush saying like uh well why for what purpose did he have created asks he says the Torah just juxtaposes the leaving to the coming we see the land jumped we have to understand why would the Sadiq grab his path to do a miracle of Allah's toenails his whole his heels and they don't ask for um Miracles what did yaakov need this miracle for
