Parshat of the week: And left | In Haran the secret of redemption is revealed to Yaakov Abino, by Rabbi Shlomo Levi
In Haran, the secret of salvation is revealed to Jacob our father – from the strengthening of faith in the Lord of the world and the absolute knowledge that the purpose of everything is to benefit the creatures, the understanding that there is a well of living water within him, a spiritual spring that can renew and revive his mental powers becomes clear.
“And Jacob went out from Be’er Sheba and went to Harana. And he struck a place and stayed there, because the sun had come, and he took some of the stones of the place and put it in a heap and he lay down in that place.” Jacob’s exodus is, in terms of the act of the forefathers, a sign for the whites. Jacob leaves the Land of Israel when he faces exile, to Haran, to his uncle Laban. Jacob arrives at the special place, aka the Temple, and surprisingly the sun sets early. Sages learn this from the verse “because the sun came”, as if it is written that God extinguished the sun. Therefore, instead of praying a Mencha prayer, at sunset Jacob prays an evening prayer, which symbolizes the days of exile. Just as darkness symbolizes absence and disadvantage, exile is the greatest disadvantage we face as a nation and as individuals in the nation. When Jacob our father prays in Arabic, he is supposedly saying that the option of going into exile is not necessary. It mainly depends on the people of Israel, where their faces will be headed – to the service of God or to sin, to the great sin of our lives. In his prayer, Jacob plants in the heart of the nation the ability to face the sufferings of exile in all their complications.
Afterwards, Jacob identifies this special place, “For if this is the house of God and this is the gate of heaven.” Ya’akov sets out on his way to Haran and on the road to Len in Beit Madrasham of Shem and Ever. There he stores spiritual power, which will be in him to manage his life and the life of his family, and then also the life of his people in the postcards that will pass over him. “And Jacob lifted his feet and went to the land of his ancestors. And he saw, and behold, there was a fire in the field, and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying on it” – Jacob arrives at Haran, which symbolizes the turning away from our land and the wrath of the Almighty from our land. That is, the going into exile was due to the sins and there in Haran the secret of redemption and return to the Land of Israel is revealed to Jacob our father. He sees a well, which symbolizes the Temple and three flocks of sheep lying on it and symbolize the three pilgrimages – Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot – in which the people of Israel will make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. In the well This, in the Temple, was the point of unity of the people of Israel. At this point the shepherds arrive and Jacob asks them: “My brothers, where are you from?” and they answer him: “We are from Haran.” With the word “my brother” Jacob alludes to the people of Israel “for the sake of my brothers and sisters” and Leaders of the people of Israel who are in exile.
The shepherds answer him: “We are exiles” – we are in exile because of the piercing of the nose of the Holy One, blessed be He. Jacob asks them: “Did you know Laban ben Nahor?” Do you know the secret of the verse: “If your sins are like years, they will be white as snow?” That is, do you know how to turn the sins, which are marked in red color into white color? Because all sins can be corrected by repentance. “And they said to him, we know”, that is, we accept upon ourselves the way of correction, and immediately it is said, “and here comes Rachel with the flock”. Rachel’s arrival at the well symbolizes the return of the people of Israel to their land and the correction of exile. This is how it can be seen in the human soul. A person who misses the purpose of his life, sometimes goes into exile, in the mental sense – his mental powers are found in disharmony, confusion, sadness and grief, which are expressed in the disintegration of the inner mental powers of the person. From the strengthening of faith in the Lord of the world and the absolute knowledge that the purpose of everything is to benefit the creatures, it becomes clear to man the understanding that there is a well of living water within him, a spiritual spring that can renew and revive his mental powers in terms of three flocks of sheep – mind, spirit and soul. When a person undertakes the task of returning to his inner self, Rachel is back with the flock anyway – the forces of the soul return and are renewed and connected to their root and thus the person returns to his true self.
