Connecting to the Universal Blessing | Rabbi Eli Mansour

What’s said in this shiur

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

So the pasuk says, that God blessed Avraham with everything. Now that’s some sort of Beracha. You know, we have certain people that have selective Berachot. They have a Beracha in one area or two areas in their lives, but for Avraham Avinu, his Beracha was everywhere, it was universal. It's a blessing of בכל. And my question was: What was the merit of Avraham? What did he do to get the בכל blessing? And more importantly, is there something that we could do in order to get the complete, universal Beracha, Beracha with children, Beracha with Parnassa, Beracha in health, Beracha in everything. There's a pasuk in Iyov, it's not so well-known. The pasuk says, That I made a treaty and a covenant with my eyes. You know, the eyes are like an enemy.
