you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with Ari goldwag recorded with

Israel 5785
2024 this week's Paras
parev we have an amazing story ysep atad
and his brothers the dreams the jealousy
selling him into slavery going down to
Egypt the encounter with Po's wife
ending up in jail for 12 years and
finally the beginning of next week's
paral being taken out of jail because of
his ability to interpret dreams to
understand dreams to understand the
messages that Hashem is sending into the
world through those
dreams unbelievable
Odyssey what I always say is my favorite
story in the
T and I'd like to focus in on a part of
the story which is the dreams of the Sim
and the
Sim the dreams that Ys interprets and as
a result two years later comes out of
jail to interpret parro's
dream and the reason that I would like
to focus on these is because they have
to do with our times they have to do
with Gula they have to do with
Redemption they have to do with
mesiah the dreams of the Sim and the Sim
as thees explains and as the Zohar
explains although of course they were
dreams for themselves and yoseph
interpreted them for
themselves that they had to do with the
fact that the s maskim who was sent to
jail is going to come back out of jail
and become once again the cup
bearer of parro the sarim the
baker been sent to jail is going to come
out of jail three days hence and he's
going to be hanged for his
crime yes there was a specific meaning
for them but the Tyra never says
anything extra the Terra doesn't include
stories unless they have a lesson beyond
the beyond the simple understanding
there's also a lesson for us and as the
explained here in the
med the dreams
themselves parts of the dreams were
interpreted by Yosef but parts of the
dreams were not interpreted by ysf there
were details in the dream that meant
something and because they weren't
interpreted by ysf as the mfor
explain that left it for us to
understand that there was a deeper
meaning not just for them and actually
there was a meaning for yose himself it
was those were dreams of redemption for
the sarkim he was going to be led out of
jail he was going to be returned to his
rightful place and so there was an
implication for ysep as well that he was
going to be returned to his rightful
place but as we'll see it speaks not
only of them but also of us it speaks of
the Jewish people our Redemption our
returning to our rightful place both in
the time s of The Exodus when the Jews
would leave Egypt
ultimately and also in regards to us
when we are ultimately going to leave
this very long Exile that we've endured
for 2,000
years so let's look together at the Mish
and understand a new A New
Concept in the story of the dreams that
yoseph interpreted and if we look at the
dream I'm just going to say it to you
outside before we actually read the M
inside the dream
the SAR maskim describes how there was a
geffin there was a Vine and on that vine
there were three
branches and on the branches first there
were flowers and in quick s succession
the flowers turned into Buds and then
the Buds turned
into the these fresh
fruits of grapes and then the sarim took
the grapes he squeezed The Grapes into a
cup
and he takes that cup and he puts that
cup in the hands of parro and parro
drinks from the
cup all of these different details of
the dream are important not all of them
as we said were explained by yose so the
medish is going to fill in the gaps of
what the implications of the dreams were
for us and in so doing we're almost
there we're going to read the measures
in a moment but in so
doing as I'm for explain Yosef
interprets the dream of the sarkim of
the of the cup bearer of parro in a
positive light in a good way he's going
to return to his
post but he interprets the dream of the
sar from the baker in a negative way and
so the medish wants to address why is it
really we find there's a general
principle kazal sages teach us that the
interpretation of the dream affects how
the dream manifests when you have a true
dream a true message of Hashem so it
manifests based on how the dream is
interpreted why did yose interpret the
dream positively for the Sim and
negatively for
theim why was it indeed that he
interpreted this way and that's indeed
what happened so the Mish gives us a
sense of why says the
Mish theim describes how there was a
Vine in front of
him says this is actually a reference to
the Jewish people this Vine that he saw
was
us why how do we know where do we see
that am Isel is called a Vine
Shar the says in 80 ver9 and we find it
elsewhere as well the Jewish people are
referred to as a Vine can still see the
remnants of the vine right behind me
over here
is a
vine he said on this Vine there were
three
branches who are the three
branches it's a reference to according
to the m it's a reference to Moshe Aon
and Miriam who would be the Messiah team
who would redeem the Jewish
people 210 years
hence also mention that Z says that the
three represents cohain Ley Isel the
three factions of the Jewish people the
three elements of the kadha the Holiness
of the Jewish
people let's focus here we focus on what
the Mish says because the Mish focuses
and stays focused on the fact that
there's reference within the dream of
the sarkim to the G to the Redemption of
the Jewish people who are the Redeemer
players Moshe Aon Miriam
as we said before the branches were
flowering this indicated the fact that
there will be a
flowering of the the Redemption of the
Jewish
people and I will add and this is my own
understanding it seems like it was in
Rapid sucession it seemed like once it
starts to flower it just it just keeps
moving flowering budding producing
fruits ripening fruits taking down the
fruits squeezing the fruits amell's
Redemption once it happens it happens
quickly moshu comes the times of the
Exodus and the times ofi comes within a
year it happens it unfolds am Israel
goes out they go receive the T they
become a nation it's it's an
unbelievable unfolding a quick
unfolding we can also look in recent
history and see the unfolding of the
current Gula process the Redemption
process where we're Suddenly at seven
million suddenly it took 75 years 100
years we Suddenly at 7 million Jews in
AR Israel unbelievable unfolding a
flowering like it's brought down here in
the that speak about the of is is going
to
be it's going to slowly rise or like the
sun like the morning it's going to start
off small GNA get bigger and bigger and
bigger and all of a sudden it will be
bright and light the sun the sun breaks
through the
Horizon certainly indicative of what
we've been seeing over the last 100
years but that's the description that
theim gives about what happens in his
dream because he's talking about
Redemption growing and think about Yosef
he's been in jail for 10 years at this
point he's going to be in jail for
another two years but there's a hint to
him personally
and to am Israel nationally that when
the Redemption comes it comes suddenly
it comes in a flowering way it comes in
an accelerated
way also says the buds came
up first it flowers then it buds it's a
process and then the Clusters form into
grapes and they ripen G
thees does say this it's not I didn't
make it
up the the very Vine that flowered
immediately
bued Those Grapes that budded they
immediately ripened when you get to the
point of redemption it's it just happens
very quickly the process process unfolds
very
quickly this nation Falls Kamas Falls
that was a little slow Falls that was a
little faster Syria Falls lightning
speed let's see what happens with
Iran
because now the M says an amazing thing
something very interesting and very
deep the Sim in his dream talks about
the
K the cup of
pharaoh the cup of pharaoh it was in his
hand he describes and he mentions the
cas
actually there's four times the word the
word cup is mentioned in this par four
times we every year on the night of PES
drink four cups of wine
representing the salvations of am Israel
we're going to go through four gas we've
gone through four Exiles and we we've
been redeemed and will be redeemed
altogether four times
the four cups that we drink that
represent G represent Redemption
multiple redemptions were hinted to
already in this dream of the
sarkim in his personal redemption in
yose's redemption in am Israel's
Redemption there are four
cups what are these
cups we also find this is more famous
more
welln it says in in regards to the
Redemption from
Egypt says I will take them out I will
save them I will redeem them I will take
them to be my
nation four
languages indicate four
redemptions indicate four types and
levels of
redemption correspond to the four cups
that we
drink now we're going to find out
something amazing about cups that have
to do with Redemption they have to do
with Messiah that have to do with what
what happens when Messiah
comes he says it the four cups of P
correspond to the four times he repeats
this idea the four times the word Coast
is mentioned in the dream and right
after the dream where he goes back
indeed and becomes the cup Bearer again
Etc as we said re says that there is a
corresponding there's a
correspondence to four Exiles four
kingdoms that we come under their
jurisdiction their
domain here's an amazing thing we're
going to see that the
cups the cup of the cup that we take on
pesak there's four cups and these four
cups have a dual purpose they're cups of
poison says and Ley that are given to
the nation that had jurisdiction over us
the Exile in which we found ourselves
that Exile ends where Hashem pours the
cup of
poison into the mouths the open mouths
of the destructive
Nations we found ourselves
in God gives the idol worshippers to
drink hem says sh the god of the people
of Israel said to me bring bring the cup
of anger to me there's a cup of Wrath
The Grapes of Wrath the cups of Wrath
are poured upon the Nations when it's
time for their destruction and Amy
Israel to rise one of the themes that we
keep speaking about we spoke about in
the B podcast we keep speaking about is
that Amy Israel is supposed to lead the
world in order for that to happen there
has to be a
destabilization of the hierarchy of the
world of who's in charge the West the
powerful West the powerful people of yes
the Islamic world World there has to be
a shake up a rattling a
falling and that's represented by this
cup the says elsewhere
in the golden cup of Babylonia which is
in the hand of Hashem Hashem poured out
that cup caused the destruction of
B says
pours out causes to rain upon them the
evil
ones corresponding to
that is going to give us four cups of
Salvation in the
future Isel and it iterates you have the
four that iterates over history but also
within I would say each Gula
individually there's also a a more
pronged
aspect of Salvation which is why we keep
we keep doing it we keep talking about
it today not just to remind ourselves of
what happened in
Egypt not just then it's going to happen
again we're going to have all four
aspects in the final Gula it's going to
unfold in a similar way it's unfolded
and is
unfolding in a corresponding way and
what's it about think about it it's
about the s maskim in a certain way
represents us it
sounds hard to understand but take it
please hear it the sasham is being
returned to serve parro parro is the
most powerful man in the world at that
time he's the one who represents the
kingship of Hashem in the world it
sounds it sounds hard to understand what
parro yes parro am is coming under his
Dominion hasem manifests through
him to go through that challenge and
difficulty in order to become the nation
they are to
become whoever is the leader of the
world Hashem manifests through that
person the hearts of the great ones are
in God's
hands the sarkim is now returning to his
post to be to serve
parro let's look at it from our
perspective what's our job our job is to
return to our
post to be the king of the world to to
lead the world in service of Hashem we
need to be the proper cup bearer of
Hashem of God if we are properly serving
him which is what Gula is all about we
go back into a state of
subservience and representation of
Hashem representing him in this world
serving him being a conduit for His
blessings for his will into the
world how appropriate is it that this
dream which is the sarkin going back to
his post to serve parro corresponds to
us going back to to serving Hashem
properly and thereby
bringing the K the overflowing blessings
into the
world but for the Nations who are
serving Hashem Who are the Idol
worshippers who are not serving Hashem
properly so this cup which represents
the overflowing cup of Hashem it's a cup
of Destruction for them but that same
cup is a cup of salvation for us it's
the
yesu is the is my portion he is my cup
says 16:5 yesu I will raise up the cup
of salvation for am Israel the cup which
destroys them serves to raise us up
unbelievable thing look at what's going
on in the world right
now watch as the Nations the the
Iranians and the and the circle of fire
that they developed as it falls and is
destroyed Isel is lifted up think about
it in terms
of as
the as the 10 plagues destroy MIM Isel
is lifted up Isel stands up Israel
leaves goes out be r with a great
outstretched
[Music]
hand
says pretty clearly and explicitly sit
at the table in front of me Hashem
against my enemies destroy my enemies
and let my cup overflow at the same time
as my cup is overflowing my enemies are
being destroyed with the same
Cup points out the
measures yesu doesn't say the cup of
Salvation singular it says the cup of
salvations
plural which I would say based on what
we've been saying it's the same cup
manifesting four times manifesting in
four ways in each individual time the me
says
m one for the days of mhia one for the
days of it's not clear exactly what
these two days are that I mean as far as
I know Mia msia comes after the war of
G could be there's different levels
different points there's m
timei d time it could be referring to
that or it could be referring to the
fact that for good
that there's
a the cup is doubled it's a cup of
double salvations because there's a
doubling there's a a destruction of G
which is our Salvation And there's a
Salvation of us as we
rise so the measure says that's the
understanding that's what Yosef heard in
the dream when he hears the dream of the
sash he hears this amazing news for
there's going to be G there's going to
be Redemption there's going to be
redeemers there's going to be a mosha
Aon and and Miriam there's going to be
in the future a Mor and an I'm adding
that it's not what it says in the
there's going to be a mhia there's
Beav this is going to be the the they're
going to sprout out there's going to be
branches Amel is going to have their
ultimate
Rising so when he hears this good news
this amazing dream the s is telling him
it's news for him he's going to be
saved when you give me this good
news I hear I hear something positive in
your
dream I'm G to give you good news as
well I'm going to tell you I'm going to
interpret your dream positively this
dream also means you're going to be
redeemed but what about the SAR what
about the the the baker what about his
dream
the starts off he
says even I was in my dream he starts to
tell a dream which Joseph ends up saying
means you're going to
die AF even the word AF besides for
meaning even it also can mean
anger and there are four people who when
they said they started talking they
started with the word AF which means
anger and they ended up experiencing D
experiencing hashem's wrath as it
were he speaks about three wicker
baskets one on top of the other that
were on top of his head these represent
the three the first three Exiles of am
Isel whereas the Sim spoke about a
positive thing he spoke about's G
Redemption theim the baker spoke about
about the actual Exiles
themselves and he speaks about the the
the topmost basket which had in it all
the the breads of parro and the birds
were coming and eating out of that
basket the uppermost one represents the
highest the most powerful one of the
Exiles which is the Exile we're still
now
it's all inclusive it's it's above
everything the the adim the West think
about most clearly the British
Commonwealth the Sun never sat set on
the British Empire it had people giving
them
taxes from the entire world but even
today who controls the economy who's has
the most powerful economy in the world
who's giving the who's getting the most
money from everyone it's
America so that was represented these
four malus
the birds were eating on through down
what does this mean it's a reference to
the fact that am
Isel we have we have we have we have
people who are
uppermost most represent the Jewish
people doing the will of hem but we have
people the regular
the the regular people also
the the the Salah eats through all of us
theim the West they take us they take
all they take all of our power away from
us they take all of our money from US
taxes
Etc so the spoke negatively about the
difficulties
of that's what y
hears he said you gave me bad news about
you gave me negative predictions about
what's going to be for am Isel the
Exiles are going to have to endure the
challenges the difficulties the
oppression I'm G to also have to tell
you bad
news in three days hence you're going to
be taken out of here and you're going to
hang from the Gallows and the birds are
going to Peck away at your
flesh so yoseph heard Within These
Dreams and we hear with the Within These
Dreams
something that doesn't just have to do
with th those
moments but also has to do with us also
has to do with Redemption also has to do
with the challenges and the difficulties
but
ultimately has to do with our
Redemption so what do we take out of
this of course we take some in
interesting insights into what it looks
like mhia it's all about this lifting up
of am is
the fall of the nations of the
world but besides for that I would say
that what I take out of this is that the
things that we see we've heard this
story many times we've heard about these
dreams so many
times we know what what the dreams meant
they meant this guy's going to come out
of jail this guy's gonna this guy's
going to end up
dying it also means that yose ultimately
is going to come out of jail he's going
to end up interpreting parro's dreams
that's the that's what we all have
learned that's what we all thought
about but did we ever think that there's
more to these dreams that everything in
the
t is written for us that there's
personal Redemption written in here for
each and every one of us there's a
message in the tah and really Hashem is
sending messages just as he sent a
message for yose to understand that he's
going to be
redeemed he's going to follow in the
path of the sarim that's why he
immediately says before he even gets to
the baker's dream he says you got to
save me when you get out this is a dream
for me
too we also have these messages Hashem
is sending us all the time they surround
usem is talking to
us we can see even in world
events if there's an unbelievable
Redemption that's coming out of such a
terrible difficulty for am Isel but
something is brewing something is rising
something is something huge is happened
happening bdash is not far
off what does it mean for me in my
personal challenges in my personal
difficulties how is that a message for
me that hey things are going to turn
around for me too just like things turn
around for Amel it manifests for each
and every one of us individually as well
and what does that mean what is what are
the what are the ramifications of
this for me hey maybe it's time for me
to get back to Earth Isel maybe it's
time for me to believe that the
Redemption really is close and I want to
be there to see it I want to be in Earth
Isel to be a part of it I want to bless
you I ask you to bless me Shem should
help us to see the redemptions are on
the way nationally individually Shem
should help us to prepare properly for
themm should help us to believe that
that is
coming and have that b have that amuna
have that faith and be strengthened
