    A wonderful shiur, very inspiring. I do think that you missed a very clear opportunity to encourage aliyah. As Lot became aware that he was viewed as a Jew who didn't belong - he didn't continue to try to fit in. He left! He returned to Avraham Avinu.

    Avraham is Maladetz

    As we say in Russian - Avraham is Maladetz - very impressive- to save Lot - I am losing patience with these apathetic successful Jews

    Wonderful shiur! 
    Another interesting fact about sequoia trees, is that their seeds need fire in order to dry out and germinate. Fire also clears away weeds and smaller plants, giving the seeds space to grow. Instead of destroying the forest, the fire is necessary for growth.

    Question for Rabbi YY

    יישר כוכך for the beautiful שיעור and concepts. Does the idea of not sharing with ישמעאל apply to everything or just to Eretz Yisroel. There does seem to be a viable peace with Egypt and Jordan? Is that what שרה meant by גרש את האמה הזאת ואת בנה - send ישמעאל away from Eretz Yisroel as he won't be able to share that with Yitzchok, but over other lands and business there is the potential to do deals? Thanks again. Wishing you continued Hatzlocha Rabboh in all you do. I really benefit greatly from the Shiurim that I manage to listen to. Kol tuv, Yitzi Freedman.

      Perhaps that is the case.

      Let's hope so, but I am not so sure. Egypt has been allowing itself to be used to help the terror organizations. The treaty with Egypt is what created the precedent of showing the killers that with violence they will achieve victory and get Israel to give away territory.
