3MN DE TORAH POUR COMMENCER LA JOURNÉE - 🕍 HÉVRON

Today, the 23rd of the month of Cheshvan , and at the end of the week, God willing, on Shabbat, you will see the front page of the newspapers—I’m talking about the divine newspaper, of course, God’s—it will be a story about someone who gave a cash envelope, seemingly even in front of everyone, to buy the place that would still cause stories 4,000 years later, saying: "No, this is ours here." And that is why the Torah, throughout the first Aliyah, recounts how Abraham chose the site of Hebron

and performed the Kinyan, the act of acquisition, in front of everyone. And even if Ephron or the people living there, who were the Hittites at the time —one of all the nations that passed through here—wanted to offer it as a gift, as King Solomon says, "He who hates gifts will live." Why? Because the one who is always waiting for gifts, then wherever he goes ...This one gave an envelope, that one bought something, another one did something else. Then he is no longer living his own life;

he is living according to people's envelopes.

But someone who never wants gifts, who wants to buy, he is the master of his own life. And Abraham is going to make the... Dear friends, this Shabbat there will be an average attendance in Hebron, because last year there were 50,000 people. War or no war, imagine that from all over Israel they are coming, even though there isn't room for 50,000.

There are no hotels there. There is only one small inn in Hebron. In the entire city of Hebron, there aren't many Jews living there. We only have two streets there, and 95% of the city of Hebron—and 90%of the Cave of the Patriarchs that we know—is Jewish , but the rest, 90%sorry, is Muslims who are all around.

They are very intense, you know; just look at the operation that took place recently, the last attack that happened right in front of Hebron a week ago, it was terrorists from Hebron. Why are we talking about all this, Rabotai? Right now, it is so relevant, not just with the elections taking place in Israel. Already last week, we saw that Sarah said to Abraham it won't work, Ishmael and Isaac in the same land, and Abraham is going to buy the gate to paradise.

Why did he choose Hebron, Rabotai? That is today's message. Hebron in Hebrew comes from the word " Hibur," it means to attach, to bind. Abraham knew that the gate of Gan Eden was where Adam was cast out.

The only place on earth that will link the two worlds. What do we call the double in Hebrew? Machpelah. Machpelah means it is doubled.

Inside are the two worlds. Those who were at the gate in the hall of Isaac. Unfortunately, the hall of Isaac where he is buried is a place that is only open 10 days a year for Jews. You have a website, you go there and you see in advance.

These are the 10 days where the Muslims agree to let us out, to let us have 10 days. And in the hall of Isaac, there is a small place there where you will smell if, if there is the scent, huh. We don't know the scent of paradise, but apparently it says the Zohar HaKadosh, that is the place where all souls after 120 years, before going up, pass through It is the pipe that will link the lower with the upper. So, this week, this Shabbat, this Parashah, it will reconfirm to anyone in the world who has a doubt regarding the ownership of the Land of Israel, regarding this place which is linked.

Because the Land of Israel, it is already there, the world above and the world here, everything revolves around Israel. So, we will be much prouder, much firmer in defending our values and our roots, and asking God that from that place, Hebron, which was at the beginning the cemetery of Israel, that is not a place that is, from there, the gate of Gan Eden will open. All those who wish hell upon us, well for them it will burn, and for us everything will grow. Have an excellent day.
