Dedicated by Yechezkal Gutfreund for the yahrzeit of Dovid ben Yechezkal HaLevi Gutfreund
Dedicated in the merit of Reb Shmuel ben Surah Perel Neiman for a complete and speedy recovery
This weekly women's class was presented on Tuesday, Parshas Toldos, 27 Cheshvan, 5782, November 2, 2021, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.
The class explores a fascinating commentary by the Italian Rabbi, Doctor and Kabalist, Reb Moshe David Vali (1697-1777) how Yitzchak's words to Eisav "you shall worship your brother" intimates the future religion of Christianity, choosing a Jew as the son of G-d, and is a sign for the times of Moshiach when the Divinity of each Jew will emerge in its full splendor.
The class discusses and explained the very delicate topic of the strange fact that Judaism attributes the name of G-d to certain human beings. How can we explain this? And what does this teach us about our lives today?

As a convert coming from, a devout Cath. family, I iterated that idea decades ago. I wanted to tell them (but I only said it in my heart ) first of all, that the honor they want to give to that guy is out of proportion to that which they owe HaKadosh Baruch Hu, but in all honesty they should see that every Jew deserves the same amount of respect in a righteous way, because the Jews were given the awesome mandate to bring the physical world to its spiritual level.
I also reprimand them and say that one of his sermons talked unjustly about the "good Samaritan", who is presented as being more righteous than a Cohen because he loves his a gentile, neighbor as himself. So my retort is, " Where is the truth of the utterance also by that guy, "Whatever you do to my brothers it is as if you had done it to me."
Feel the impact of that statement on the cath. world who pretend to 'sacrifice' that piece of cracker over and over again throughout the milennia, all the while persecuting and punishing his brothers literally to death, with such great love to spread lies and hatred?!

In your shiur of 27 Cheshvan you discuss the prophecy by Yitzhak that Edom/Rome will come to worship yoshke (yimakh shemo v'zikhro!).
I took an in-depth look at the pesukim Bereshit 27:39-40 and found the name of yoshke (ישו) at skips of 26 ( yud of ויאמר , shin of מושבך , vav of ואת )
This is amazing as you point to Bava Batra 75b that in the future the righteous will be called by the name of HaShem and that yoshke being (falsely) called HaShem is a forerunning to this.
26 is the gematria of yud-hei-vav-hei, and here we see the name of yoshke in these two pesukim at skips of 26!
Hope this was of interest.

I was mesmerized and very inspired by this class! It was very mind-stretching and fundamental.
1. I remember learning about the issur of a yid denying that he is yid because it's an expression of denying chalila Hashem.
Also the Rambam in hilchos avodah Zara.
2. It also brings to mind the famous Chazal, Yisroel vioraiysa...
3. Perhaps an additional concept is intended here: The tremendous heroism and tenacity to stay with Hashem through impossible situations in history, is above human.
