Vayichi 5786

Pares he the end of safer bracious I know about you and I'm sorry to see it go it is so rich it is so full as I as I recently said to someone you can spend half a year on every para not a week you know braces boom it's gone less than a week noyak okay and these pares they're full. Anyway, the end of paras braces where Yakob ga gathers his sons around his deathbed and he goes he and he tells gives them their their his final instructions. These are called the brokas of Yakov. even though it appears that some of some of them are not not brus and he's actually chastising them and pointing out some of their flaws but as I once heard that's the biggest braha to know what your flaws are this way know who you are and what you have to correct so for for Ruben and Shim that it's a it's it's more of a rebuke than it is a which is a but which is a brah but for the other it's it's praises it's what their future is going to be. So we come to we know that was the the favorite of of Yakov. What does he have to say about his son Ysef? He says Yehuda is going to be the malus. You know he's going to go ahead be he's going to teach Tyra etc etc. What's Yf Benf Ben pos allesure? Okay. So I did not trust myself to translate this BK. I looked up the art school translation of Ben Porasio. Uh art school writes as follows. Yoseph is a charming child. Then the Pik says um uh Benos saw Allesure the girls of Egypt would stepped along the walls to gaze at Ysef's beauty. Ysef was gorgeous. Now, have you ever been at a Chevro and they talk about the you know they say this guy is the next real build you know and and he's a tonic and he's a balas and he's and he's dropped dead goodlook have you ever ever heard that and here what does Yakov have to say about Ysef sir he was so handsome some so good-looking that the girls used to line the walls just to get a glimpse of him. Abdal Abdullles you know a guy's a rock star you know it happens to be knockout looks so you know all these girls swoon for him this what happened the girls are swooning this what you have to say about Ysef and then the next person Where is it? They again article. They embit embittered him and became antagonists. The masters of Aros hated him. It's talking about Yf and the relationship with his brothers. You have to bring that up now that your brothers hated you. They want to kill you. This is what this note of strength. What does that have to do with with him? So I once heard a shot from Bernbomb sacred the rash of Mirish in Brooklyn and he gave a very apt muscle to this which unfortunately we can relate to unfortunately it's it's still it's it's not uncommon. I mean it's it's it's the exception to the rule but we see too many children leaving the fold leaving Yiddishkite children that come from fine homes from homes orthodox homes but some reason or another they uh they decide to leave Yishkai and what often happens what often happens is they're not doing well in school. They're shunned by their classmates and therefore the parents are, you know, dis, you know, disappointed in him. And perhaps they're shunned by their parents or their siblings or this and that. And they go hang on around the street with other likeminded boys that are the same boat as them. And all of a sudden they're they're admired. They're accepted. You know, you're one of us. Nobody shuns him. So pointed out and said, you know, it's no no it's no surprise that they would leave the fold, leave their house, leave their home, leave their community, leave their friends because here I'm shunned and there I'm admired. you know there they like me they accept me for who I am so what would you choose so that's part of I mean that doesn't explain the whole thing why this happened to them that's not for this occasion it's very hard to explain why this happens but that they gravitate toward this new society this new peer group that's not a pill at all so here put yourself in your shoes. He goes ahead. His brothers hate him. His mother literally him sell him down the river, right? You know, and he winds up in Egypt. And guess what? The girls are swooning over me and my brothers hate me. And here I'm loved, I'm admired, I'm worshiped. So here, who is it? Yiddish guy or Egyptians my brothers or these these girls the Egyptian society that I'm accepted or Yiddish that I'm shunn you make the choice that's what is saying is he was tempted a man alone a man a young man alone and everybody looks looks at him as as gorgeous. He could have fallen so easily into that trap. That's the my law of Ysef that in spite of the fact that Benoy saw the Allesure that girls were swooning over him, he didn't leave lose as a Yiddish and remained steadfast to the house of Yakov. Like that. >> Good.
