Vayigash 5786

Finally, Yoseph and Parasosh reveals himself to his brothers. It's a an emotional reunion to say the least. And now Yseph goes ahead and tells his brothers, um, go ahead, don't worry about it. I might you and a beautiful This is not you. This is all. It's God that put us me here. And I've become as he writes over here. I've become parro's father. and I'm in charge of his entire house and I'm ruling all of Egypt. Now, you may be somebody's chief of staff and I'm sure that uh if uh I'm assume Mr. Putin Immakay uh uh as a chief of staff. But if that were a guy, I to say uh guess what? I'm in charge of all of Russia. Akas dust lam is one head shorter. Okay? You know, I remember I don't know if you remember this. This was 1981. I remember when Ronald Reagan was shot, okay? and everybody was shaken. They went back to the White House and Alexander Hey was then the chief of staff and he went ahead and said, you know, had a news conference and he said, "I'm in charge here." And everybody jumped on. You're not in charge here. You know, it's he's the vice president and you you don't say that. So, what does it mean? How did he say that? And the other question is that when the brothers go ahead and they relay this message to Yakov, they go ahead and say, they come back to Jacob, the brothers. They tell him everything. But the truth of the matter is that when they say over whose is, they do not say the rest of this. All they say is so why do they go ahead why don't they why don't they go ahead and give the titles you know why do they only that one phrase that is the only thing that they tell then the says they tell him this And then he sees the wagons that went ahead and sent to him to bring him down and his whole family to and then Yakov. And then Yakov said, "Oh, he was now he was finally mllified and appeased and finally misnamed and comforted because he saw the wagons." So the truth of the matter is this is one of the more famous sukim in all of and every person who ever wrote any safer on has a shot on what what this is all about. So says a very beautiful shot and he says the reason they did not tell Yakov of the different titles that Ysef mentioned is because he was not interested in that. He was only interested in one thing. Is my son still Jewish? Is he still a ye? Has he married a shika? Has he become part of the culture of Mitim? That's the only thing I'm interested in. Not interested that he's that he's I'm only interested is heid and therefore the only words that the brothers have to tellis which means he rules over Egypt. Egypt does not rule over him. He has not become an Egyptian. He has not sunk to the culture. He has maintained his hiddite. Not mit is mosh over him. Not mitim is is conquering him has conquered him. No, I'm still thatid. Those are the only words that are interested to Yakov. And with this some safe explains why he was so consoled by the fact that he sent the wagons. So um I once saw a beautiful mushel to this and uh this is from the dian of Manchester England. I don't know who that is but that's where I saw this story. He says, "My sister, there was a um there was a family. They had one son. They they wrote from England were in England. They raised him from etc etc. Anyway, he went went off to school and got a job and and he settled in Australia, you know, and here he is in Australia, a young man by himself in Australia. They want to know what's going to warn them. What happened to him? So, so one friend he used to call Ari Shabas. He called Aries Chavis and he would say, "Oh, how are you borashem?" You know, never talked about his personal life. Never mentioned being married, nothing. So the parents said to him, "You know what? We want to visit you. We want to go see how how you are you doing this and that. We're going to fly to Australia." At which point, the son said, "No, no, no, no. Don't don't. That's not necessary. It's easier for me to come to you. I'm younger. It's a long trip. No, no, no. I'll come to you. The parents, why doesn't he want them to come to Australia? Because he's embarrassed of the way his life looks. Wasn't mentioned what whether he was married or not married, but he wasn't much of a ye anymore. So when Yseph says to Yakov and sends the wagons, I want you to come down to see me. That's because I have nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm the same. I'm the And I'm not embarrassed for you to come to see how I live. And that's why Yakov was consoled by Yah that Ysef saw that Yseph sent
