Vayigash - Contradictions

Hi, this is David Alowski with the para in five where in five minutes we try to give you a little vote on the para para is Yehuda stands up and makes this very impassion speech. What kind of a person would do this to my elderly father? My father has this son and he loves him and it'll break his heart if his son doesn't come back. It will kill him. You're going to kill my father with pain and suffering. What kind of a person takes a child away from his father? Who takes away a beloved child from an elderly father? And Yseph looks at him and says, "Ani Yoseph is Yakob still alive?" Wow. Because here Yehuda says, "What kind of a terrible person would take a child away from his father?" And Y says, "You know, I was thinking the same thing. Did you think about that when you knew that dad loved me and you took me away from him for 22 years? But he lived, right? All of a sudden now you're worried about his health. You didn't care when you sold me away. You were ready to kill me. You didn't care how that would affect dad, right? Say the based on this incident, the day of judgment is going to be truly terrifying. What is there here that is y and there's one medish that says that they literally died and had to come back to life from the shame and from the shock. So says the basi the thing that gets us in haba is the contradiction. The contradiction ku has a keen sense of humor. I remember this when uh Netanyo was running against Perez and the pollsters based on the exit polls predicted a Labor party win with 50.2% of the vote. Now, there's a margin of error. Why would you declare a winner? And I remember Yao Dian was asked by the media and he says well you have to understand this is a very very narrow victory. Um almost half the country is against you. Do you have to count? And she said even if we have one vote one vote more we can do whatever we want. That was at night. In the morning after they finished counting the votes it turned out Natano won. And I heard later on the radio an interview with Yao Dian and she said Natano has to remember that half the country voted against him and he doesn't really have a mandate and he better make sure and take into account the other half. But it was like mom is right then and there if it hadn't happened that way. We couldn't have gotten her down saying something so incredibly stupid. Hence Mark Twain says keep your words soft and sweet. It'll be easier when you have to eat them later. should take that into account. Yeah. So here Yehuda is making this whole impassion speech. What kind of a person takes a child away from his father? Yeah. Hey, it's Yoseph and at that moment everything just collapses because the contradiction says the Basi. That's what Yadin is. We get up to Shmayim and Hashem says to us, "Why didn't you learn Tory?" He says, "Oh, I was so busy. I was working. I was making a living. I was taking care of my home. I had so much work to do. And Hashem says, "I hear it, but I'm looking at all these you did. Some of these were really pretty time consuming. I bet you could have learned during that time." And he'll say, "Why didn't you get stuck? Oh, it was so hard because uh you know uh I had to I had to do this. I had to I had to support my family. I had to pay two. Is that that cuz I here and look at all these aairs you did. Some of these were pretty expensive but you had money for that. Couldn't you give him that money that stuck up? And it's a contradiction that catches us when there's nothing to say. And so that's what happened to Yehuda and that's what the is. The scary part are the contradictions. When a bar hits us with our own words, hits us with our own deeds and says this itself condemns you as we say in the sat everybody signs on to the din themselves. You know that it's true. It's an inspiration I hope for all of us to live lives of more integrity.
