extraordinary meaning and message and something that's very meaningful and powerful. Okay, Reb Boaz, let's let's get right into it. Yaakov Avinu's first encounter with his uh with his second wife, Rachel Imeinu. He thought it was going to be his first wife. So, you know, this is his first meeting with her and the Torah says VaYishak Yaakov l'Rachel. Yaakov kisses Rachel VaYisa koloi vaYevk. And he raises his voice and he cries. Rashi wants to know Farvei Farvei veinstu? You know, what's he what's he what's he crying about? Lefish she'at sofah beruach hakodesh she'einah nichneses imah l'kvurah. He saw with the holy spirit that he's not going to be buried with her. You know, you're getting a little carried away here. You know, they're not even engaged yet and he's worried about being buried next to her. You know, first let's get the vart the the tnoim and the kiddushin. You're worried about where will you be buried later? Why is this like the first thing that comes to Yaakov's mind is that he's not going to be buried with her. What does he care? He What difference does it make where you're buried? Remember in old shul one time before we had to go to levaya, Baruch Hashem, you know, it was a different age bracket. So, we were driving and driving there were a bunch of alte yiddenas in the backseat and they were talking about where they wanted to be buried and I remember one of them said, "Oh, this cemetery, it's so noisy there, you know?" And the the other one said, "You know, Rose, when you're 6 ft under, you don't hear the traffic, you know?" So, why do Why does he care where is he going to be buried? What difference does it make?
