3MN DE TORAH POUR COMMENCER LA JOURNÉE - ⚔️ YITSHAK VS ICHMAËL

Today, in Hebrew, is the 17th of the month of Elul. We cannot, today, the day after the elections, just not talk about an image that brings us a great, great message which is, I think, I don't know if it only exists here or in politics, but right after the votes, well before the results, everyone gave a speech, everyone won, everyone says bravo, thank you, everyone says it's me . In this week's Parashah, there is a great message for us because when Isaac was born at the age of 100 for Abraham and 90 for Sarah, he was named. Why, do you remember what she said?

Everyone, this is how Rashi puts it. Everyone who hears about the miracle or sees Isaac laughs, because Ishmael had plenty of plans. Even Abraham had plans. Everyone has plans.

But God, there, He is from above—how do you say—tell God your plans and He will laugh because He has His own plans and they will come to pass in the end. And when Ishmael saw the birth of Isaac, right after that in the Torah, what happens? Well, right after, he is already 13 years old, " Va-yare Avraham et ben Hagar," we call him that, the son of the war, what is it? Ah, he is laughing too.

What is he laughing at? In the Gemara, there is a great debate with several different opinions. Rashi brings the opinion of Rabbi Akiva, that he started idol worship. He began to mock Isaac.

He said, "It's my land, I am the one who will take a double portion of the inheritance," he starts singing and dancing, Ishmael, but dear friends, God has another plan and that is why the Psalm that we always read before Birkat Hamazon, you know it, 126. It always has the same word. You know, when we are going to laugh at the end of the results, King Solomon says, always wait , because the wise person is the one who waits for the end. All those who are

always happy, they will spend one or two days before the results saying, "We won." And the others who will dance , who will say, "It's my country, it's my country because they got a few dozen seats, the Arabs, and they are acting like Ishmael." So then, Sarah, she will intervene, she will say, "Abraham," Oh, They can't, they cannot live together and everyone says I'm the one who won, the left, the right.

"So, you will ask" What is the result? "God says" Wait, no matter what happens? It is for the good of the land of Israel. "God has a plan, that even if we are at a stage and moving forward, and even if there is no winner, and even if it's a tie, and even if everyone thinks they've won, and even if Ishmael dances and says: ' I'm the one who will take the inheritance, the double, and I'll send you away,' what does God do up above?" He laughs.

Why does He laugh? Because there is a very, very precise plan and we are on the right path, and it is moving forward step by step, and even if it takes a little longer, you have to have that patience. And that is the greatness of Sarah. Ah.
