Conclusion - Part 3 ב רלח - םוּיּ ֶס
We learn a great profound rule from this. Even Yaakov Aveinu
before his passing, at a time when he was completely detached from
all matters in this world (that is the inner reason why his eyes were
‘heavy’ from old age) as long as he had a physical body he still .ב קלח 6
needed to partner his body to his soul in order that the connection
of his soul to their souls would be complete since the body and soul תוֹי ָע ְבּ ת ֶר ֶתוֹפּ ה ָבוֹט ַחוּר
are one integral being at all levels of physicality and spirituality.
An imperfection in the attachment of the body expresses itself in an
imperfection in the attachment of the soul.
The Sforno explains this concept also in Yosef’s effort to get ה ִמ ְד ֶנ .ה ָרּתּ דוּמּ ֶל ל ִֶ ה ָדּ ֶמּ ַה ת ַמּ ַא ְבּ ּנּ ַמ ְז ת ִא ד ֵדּמ ה ָרּתּ ןֶבּ
his father Yaakov to place his right hand on Menashe - to bless ה ָחיֹ ֶש ְל ר ָרָיּ ַה ּנּ ַמ ְזּ ֶמ י ַדּ ֶמ ר ֵתּי ַעי ֶר ְֶ ַמ אוּה ִֶ םי ֶמ ָע ְפ ֶל ּל
Menashe with his right hand - and Yaakov’s reaction in crossing his
hands and putting his right hand on Efrayim and his left hand on ר ָב ְכּ ,תי ֶֶא ֵר .תֶי ַבּ ַבּ ה ָר ְז ִע ְלוּ ָהי ִל ֵא ב ֵל ת ַמוּשׂ ְת ֶל ,ּתּ ְֶ ֶא ם ֶע
Menashe. Here too one must understand if Yaakov wanted to bless ,םי ֶר ֵח ֲא י ֵדְי ל ַע הּ ָתּשׂ ֲע ַל ר ֶָ ְפ ִא י ֶא ִֶ ה ָו ְצ ֶמ י ֵר ֲה ,לי ֵע ְל וּנ ְר ַמ ָא
Efrayim more than Menashe, couldn’t he just put more expression
into his concentration on his Beracha to Efrayim? In order for his ל ַע ר ַר ְו ךְ ַא םי ֶל ָטּ ֻמ םי ֶר ָב ְדּ ַה ה ִלּ ֵא ל ָכ ְו ,ה ָרּתּ דוּמּ ֶל ה ָחּדּ
Beracha to be more effective why was it necessary to specifically דוּמּ ֶל רוּב ֲע ַבּ תי ֶא ָד ְכּ ה ָע ָר ְֶ ַה ם ֵה םי ֶר ָב ְדּ ַה ה ִלּ ֵא ,תי ֶנ ֵֶ .ל ַע ַבּ ַה
put his right hand on Efrayim by crossing-over his arms? This is
how the Sforno explains it (32:18) “because in reality by placing ,דוּמּ ֶל ְל יוּנ ָׁ ר ֵתּי ֶּאֹר ,תֶי ַבּ ַבּ ה ָבּט ַחוּר ה ָרֶּ ם ֶא .ה ָרּתּ ַה
his hand on Efrayim, Yaakov’s soul will focus more on him and the ר ֵר ְח ֶַ ְתוּ ,דֹמ ְל ֶל תּנּ ַׁ ְת ֶה ְל תּיּ ֻר ֶָ ְפ ִא פּצ ָר ְבּ ּל פ ֵתּ ֶתּ ּתּ ְֶ ֶא ְו
power of Yaakov’s right hand is stronger than the power of his left - תוּחי ֶת ְמ ת ַרי ֶו ֲא תֶי ַבּ ַבּ ה ָרֶּ ר ִֶ ֲא ַכּ ל ָב ֲא .תּד ָר ְטּ ֶמ ּתּא
hand. The intensity of the Beracha is greater when the right hand is
placed on the right side than when that same Beracha transfers from פ ַמ ְז וֶּ ְר ְד ֶנ ְו ,דוּמּ ֶלּ ַל ת ִֶ ִר ְד ֶנּ ַה ֶ ִפ ִנּ ַה ת ַחוּנ ְמ ֶל ַעי ֶר ְפ ַמ ה ִז
the left hand to the left side. Incredible!! Even this small difference תֶי ַבּ ַבּ רֹצּ ֶל אי ֶה ה ָמי ֶשׂ ְמ ַה .תוּחי ֶת ְמּ ַה ת ִא גי ֶפ ָה ְל ר ֵתּי ב ַר
between placing the right hand or the left hand expresses itself in
the focus of the soul’s Beracha, even by Yaakov Aveinu at the time תֶי ַבּ ַה תוּמ ֵל ְֶ - תֶי ַבּ םּל ְֶ וּה ִז .די ֶמ ָתּ ה ָבּט ְו ה ָחּנ ה ָרי ֶו ֲא
of his passing. םּל ָשּׁ ַה ה ִז פי ֵא פֶי ַד ֲע - ה ָבי ֶר ְמ פי ֵא ִֶ ְכּ ,תוּמ ֵל ְֶ פֶּ ְלּ ֶמ םּל ֶָ(
From this we can learn a general rule regarding the opportunities .)תוּע ֵר ְו ה ָו ְח ַא ל ִֶ ַחוּר תֶי ַבּ ַבּ ה ָרּשּׁ ִֶ ְכּ א ָלּ ִא ,י ֶתּ ֶמ ֲא ָה
of doing Chessed with one’s physical actions which exist between
a husband and his wife “as it demands work-effort to bond, which ה ָו ֲה פי ֶת ְמי ֶח ְר י ֶכּ ..." :]א"ע 'ז פי ֶר ְד ִה ְנ ַס[ ל" ַז ֲח וּנוּד ְמ ֶל ךְָכּ
is the intent of Creation, that they should be as one flesh,” as Maran
the Chazon Ish wrote in his letter. וּׁ ַא )"י ֶתּ ְֶ ֶא ְל י ֶני ֵבּ ה ָזּ ַע ה ָתְי ָה וּנ ֵת ָב ֲה ַא ִֶ ְכּ" :י" ֶֶ ַר (א ָזי ֶֶז ַע

We will end this essay with the conclusion used in Maran’s letter.
“One must pray for mercy from Hashem, as Chazal have said - In all פי ֶתּ ֶֶ ר ַבּ אָי ְרוּׁ ,פי ֶת ְמי ֶח ְר א ָזי ֶז ֲע אלֹ ְד א ָת ְֶ ַה .)"וּני ֵנ ְֶ
