[Music] we're in volatile dots and we are facing in this basha a very harsh reality that we see both live qey and Jakob that are lying - its hug and the toe is okay with that and if the Torah tells me something it means that there's something to learn from that so whatever am I supposed to learn from that it's okay to lie now the cloud we see that the entire book of biller sheets all we find is a little eyes which is a very big question because it says about our forefathers that they were honest it's actually calling the Book of Allah sheet safe area shava the book of the honest one referring to the forefathers and a matriarch it even says about Balaam Akasha that he said I wish I can die like the forefathers because they they were honest I wish I could die like them and we find in many different places that are talking about our forefathers of how it's like Yaakov and then the matrix that there were honest people but then again it seems very obvious that they were going behind the trucks back tricking him lying to him and that's whatever I'm supposed to learn from that is that okay to lie it says about all from everything in the Torah this only says I want on one thing that I have to be I take what say move away from it says omit valchek alt-rock from anything that has to be a lie
