לכבוד הרב הגאון פה מפיק מרגליות מורה דרך לכלל ישראל ר' יוסף יצחק שליט"א, Hope all is wellAllow me to be מוסיף on your amazing & inspiring shiur on the מדרש תנחומא ושפת אמתWhere was THE ערי מקלט?בא אלפז ונטל הכל - עני חשוב כמת- אמאי בא לו יעקב עונש זה- ובשביל כך היה צריך לעבוד ללבן עבודת פרך
עיין ברש"י (כח ז') אחר קבלת הברכות נטמן בבית עבר י"ד שנים מהו הלשון נטמן- רש"י ד"ה וישכב במקום- יד שנים ששמש בבית עבר- מבואר מזה דמתחילה כשהלך מבאר שבע- הלך לבית המדרש ולא היה אליפז לנגוע בו רק לאחר שיצא מבית המדרש בטול השמירה ואח"כ מגיע להזיקולפ"ז הערי מקלט היה הבית מדרש רק לאחר שהלך היה מגיע לו אליפז ושוב לא היה לו שמירה דערי מקלט וחזר הדין דגואל הדם יש לו רשות להרגו - מש"ה הוצרך ליטול ממונו כדי שיהא חשוב כמת.
ולענין עצם הפרשה לקרב ולא לרחק הבנים הKIPS הרבה פעמים ההורים אומרים שאין להם כח לעשות המהלך של TP ובאמת הוא טענה אלימתא- דצריכין כוחות עצומות בין להאב ולהאם כידוע..וזהו הענין של ענוותנו של יעקב
וכדי להזכיר מה דאיתא בארץ צבי פרשת מצורע -ונתתי נגע צרעת- וז"ל נראה לענ"ד שמזה יש ללמוד על הנגעים הבאים על גוף האדם שהם לתכלית זו כי יש בכל איש ישראל אוצרות בפנימות נפשו והיצה"ר מטמנין אותו ע"י שמושך אותו אחרי תאוותו עוה"ז והבליו וכו. מה הקב"ה עושה מגרה בו נגעים או שאר יסורים לגרום הכנעה ושבירת הלב ועי"ז סותר חומת הברזל המפסיקה ומכסה על האוצרות ההם עכ"ל,

The Sefas Emes' Chiddush that Yaakov Avinu fled to an Ir Miklat for the inadvertent killing of Eisav, it occurred to me that it is similar to Hashem's banishment of Adam HaRishon from Gan Eden to the Ir Miklat of the world, for the Cheit of the Eitz Hadaas, for bringing death to the world - he is viewed as one who killed accidentally and required Teshuvah.
The Gemara in Bava Metzia 84a: the radiance of Yaakov Avinu resembled the radiance of Adam HaRishon. The Zohar Hakadosh (Bereishis 35b) adds that this implies that Yaakov Avinu was the Tikun for Adam HaRishon. The Arizal explained in Sha’ar HaPesukim (Vayigash) that Yaakov Avinu was a “gilgul”—a reincarnation—of Adam HaRishon and was thus obligated to rectify his failures and transgressions.

Love these new Chassidus classes.
Dear Rabbi Y.Y.
Thank you for coming back even stronger this year with your incredible Torahs.
I must say i love the new chassidus morning classes you give.
Its a class in its own recording. Your other ones were hard to follow becuase you would have to listen to all parts.
Here if you just listen to this your good.
Would be nice to have every Thursday a Sfas Emes Parsha Shiur from the Rav.
All the best,

Rashi says the repetition means that a tzaddik's departure
Leaves a void. How does that explain repetition? We can understand that a void is created without any repetition.

The others merely rolled away the stone but Yakov
Revealed the well. Rolling away is temporary, merely a battle in the war. But Yakov conquered, which is permanent and winning the war not just a battle..

So maybe
Fear is a secondary emotion too?

The accidental murder runs to an ohr Miklos, but
Yakov did what he did intentionally. The concept of ohr Miklos doesn't apply. The blood avenger can pursue an intentional murderer and drag him out of ohr Miklos to beis din.
Also, couldn't Esav also "indict" his own mother as an accomplice and co-conspirator?
If, by rejecting Esav it can be considered a subtle formula of murder, is the Sfas Emes saying that kicking out an OTD kid out of the house is also a subtle form of murder? Avi Fischoff would agree. Was Lipa's teacher also guilty of this?
If Esav is sheker, wasn't Yakov (and Rivka) also guilty of sheker?

It doesn't look like Yaacov changed because he withheld Dinah and did not want to travel with Esav yers later.

What is the inner meaning of
The fact that most, if not all, of the Rebbes in Chabsd, were jailed?
