Parshas Ha'mon: Lab-Grown Diamonds — Which Industry Will Topple Next?

This Torah class is brought to you by Torahanytime.com

Klaal Yusraul has a well-known mimic to recite Pasha Saman on Tuesday Pasha's Basha'Allah as a school for Panoza.

So what's the connection between the Mon and the Midbar and our Panoza today?

So let me share with you a powerful insight from the Garibah.

Before Klaal Yusraul left Mitzraim, Ashantol Moshe, Dhabar Naw, please speak to the Jewish people

and instruct them that every person should borrow from their Egyptian neighbor vessels of silver and gold.

Klaal Yusraul never intended to return these items.

They were taken as compensation for centuries of backbreaking labor.

So the question is, if this was restitution for work already done,

why does the Torah use the term Vaishalu and let them borrow it?

Either send them an invoice for services rendered or go in and take it by force.

Why have them borrow it?

And the base Israel says something so profound.

Klaal Yusraul was being freed from slavery.

For the first time in their lives, they were experiencing the meaning of having their own possessions, even encountering wealth.

And Ashant wanted to teach them a fundamental lesson.

You should always view all of your wealth, all of your material possessions as something that you borrowed.

It is said that coins symbolizing currency are round because it's like a wheel.

One day, you are in possession of wealth and then the Raidl Dreitzach, the wheel turns, ending up in another person's hands.

So view wealth as if it's borrowed.

You never know when it will be given to the next person.

Imagine you go on vacation and you rent a beautiful luxury car with all the features you can ever imagine.

Self-driving, sunroof, heated seats, you enjoy every minute of it.

But in the back of your mind, you know by the end of the week, this must be returned.

So that awareness tempers your attachment.

You enjoy it, but you don't define yourself by it.

So the Torah tells us, this is how we should view materialism.

This is how we should view wealth as something that has been borrowed.

So don't get too attached to it.

And perhaps this is the connection between our Parnasa and Parshasa Ma'am.

Every morning in the mid-bord, they didn't went out of a lock-toothed vario in Biyoma.

They gathered what they needed for that day.

They lived with this reality every single day.

Whatever they received was never theirs to store away.

They knew it was temporary.

When they went to sleep at night, their pantries were empty.

The fridge was barren.

They could not accumulate any food.

Every single morning, they were completely dependent on Hashem's kindness.

And this is how we should view our physical possessions as well.

It is only because of Hashem's kindness that we have what we need today.

And we rely on him every day for our sustenance.

We may think that we are financially secure.

I'm a vested and real estate.

I diversified my portfolio.

I have stocks and bonds and crypto.

But recent years have shattered that illusion.

Businesses that thrive for 40 years.

And then COVID came and then they vanished overnight.

Entire industries collapsed.

Diamond dealers flourished until lab-grown diamonds came and they changed everything.

And now A.I. looms, reshaping economies in ways we can't yet predict.

The markets have taught us what the mid-barred taught Klaal Israel all those years ago.

Our sustenance, our panasa, comes directly from Hashem.

A story is told that when the briskarov got married, he received a huge dowry from his father-in-law.

And he invested it in a real estate venture.

Shortly thereafter, they came to tell him that the deal went sour and he lost his entire investment.

He was left penniless.

He grabbed a safer hive of salvavas and he lacked himself into his room.

And he went through this entire shara bitach.

When he emerged from his room, he said,

Until now, I thought I was rich.

But now, I know that I'm rich.

He explained, once the difference between a poor man and a rich man.

As far as today is concerned, they both have what to eat.

Who noise and laugh at the halbazaar, Hashem provides sustenance to every person.

The only difference is psychological.

The wealthy man feels secure because he thinks he has tomorrow and the next 10 years covered.

But is that security real?

When it comes to money, no one truly knows how secure they are.

But I said to the briskarov,

I am Bhatech Bhashem.

I really believe that Hashem will provide for me every single day of my life.

Am I not the wealthiest person in the world?

And that is why we should recite parches among every single day

to remind us that true wealth is not having tomorrow covered.

True wealth is knowing who is covering us.

And now, we know.

Have a wonderful day.
