    King Shaul
    If King Shaul did not have what it took to be a king - why did Hashem choose him to be king? Why was Shaul punished for what comes natural for a Jew to be -? Why would he be punished for not being something that was impossible (at that time) for a Jew to be?

      Re: King Shaul
      The peoples desired Shaul HaMeleck! Shaul represents the "uninvigorated" tree, the daily rituals associated with Judaism, as we evidenced by the "armor" that King Shaul wanted to give to the Shepherd Boy.  But the "Shepherd Boy" the INVIGORATED TREE, the Middot from Moav had nothing to do with it! What did the Shepherd Boy do, took Five-Smooth Stones from the Brook and put them in the Shepherd's Bag - "And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling [was] in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine."



      In this you have the "Five-Smooth Stones out of the Brook!"  And put them in "the Shepherd's Bag!"



      Now, determine what the "Five Smooth Stones" are, and the "Brook" and the "Shepherd's Bag" in this is the SOD of Geulah!  The Remez is: And they said unto him, Where [is] Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.(Bereshit 18:9)

    question
    if yitzchok thought he was giving the blessings to eisav, that means that they WERE prepared and not spontaneous! he gave them to the wrong person, but he knew what he was giving! how does that fit into the spontaneity and resulting profoundness of the blessings?

    If you said this on one foot
    It would hurt.

    Is the mitzvah of leaving over a portion of your field the reason why New Yorkers want moshiach more than others? They are always saying ..."forget about it!"

    והיה הוא ותמורתו יהיה קדש

    ותמורתו אותיות רות ותמר
