Vayeitzey: The Burning Fire for Spirituality

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.

She says this time now I'm going to thank therefore she called him and she stopped having children says Rashi. Oh now she has to thank Hashem after the first kid she didn't have to thank says I took more than I share. Now I have to thank explains that she would have 12vat and Jacob would have four wives. So she figures if four wives, 12 kids, each each wife's going to have three kids. So she already had her three. She had ruin. Now she has more than her shar. Now she has to thank Hashem. Just think about this for a minute. There is no guarantee that any wife would have any children, right? She would have any children, right? She definitely did not see that how many children each one of them were going to have because she was surprised that she had more. And in fact, they didn't all have equal amounts. Only had two. Leia ended up having six, right? And Bill, so she's not guaranteed of anything. So she has to thank Hashem only after the fourth. She should have thought thanked after she had the first kid, you know, maybe Ra's going to have 11. Bill is going to have one. I mean, nothing's guaranteed. So, what do you see from here? See from here in life, people
