Vayigash - Shechina in Exile
537 views
What is the idea of Hashem's assurance to Yakov that He will accompany him into the exile? Why does Onkelos uncharacteristically translate Hashem's descent literally, as opposed to referring to Hashem's honor? How do we understand the dichotomy of the exile being a place where Hashem's presence is hidden, and yet the Divine Presence and Providence is increased? What is the idea behind the special Providence that only Yosef received, being the first of the Jewish people to enter exile? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

listening to the weekly partial podcast
with Ari Goldberg recorded with a gems
never-ending assistance in Ramat Beit
Shemesh Israel 5780 2020 this week's
purchase parshas value gosh then we have
the culmination of the story of yo safe
and his brothers I'm coming together
were you know reuniting reunification of
the Jewish people and Yaakov Aveeno
already to come down and see his son
Joseph who hasn't seen for 22 years
amazing climax of the story amazing
conclusion of the story and I'd like to
share with you a thought from real time
Friedlander because this conclusion the
story the Jewish people are now going to
descend into Egypt and they're now going
to begin Gullah they're going to begin
the first to the exiles first of many
exiles the Jewish people would endure
but there's an amazing idea amazing
concept that we see occurring within
this year either within st sent into
ghosts and this is what he refers to as
you read this years of the same ratios
called sheena the descent of Yosef into
Egypt the descent of the Jewish people
into Egypt is the beginning of the
godless of the Sheena of the Divine
Presence which means that a college bar
who got himself as it were goes down
into Egypt along with Yousef and along
with the Jewish people and this is as
well soon see in order for the Jewish
people to be able to ascend to come out
of Egypt you have to come out of the
godless be able to come out of the Exile
it's only possible because I got the
spark who himself goes down with them
let's see this inside beautiful idea
golem is from China I'm emo him you read
this yeah calm it's from my cerca de la
the rice has been Iove I surf on the one
hand when Yaakov Avena when Jacob goes
down to Egypt and our parsha in order to
meet up again with yo safe it's in order
to see his beloved son Yosef hoc me
either for you read this Yaakov hey
Claude you read it ago son so first of
all we have yo Yakko going down to Egypt
to see us on Yosef but it's also the
beginning of the gullets the Jewish
people are not going to be in Egypt for
another two
ten years right come on Schuyler hazael
is a good more the Gemara says or say
just tell us in Shaba stop a test on my
base page 89 be America robbery American
on ROI higher yak of Aveeno later the
mr. Amash Alicia bars oh really
yeah Covina should have gone down to
Egypt in iron chains Elish is who said
normally DC bacala autumn come the other
Mishima voices Ahava but the fact is
that Yahoo Avenue because of his
righteousness because of his greatness
so he didn't go down in Chains of iron
rather he went down in Chains of love in
the puss success Yakov Yoda she readers
I heal ago sometime Friedlander yaakov
in who knew that he's going down into
gullies he's going down into Egypt was
the beginning of the Exile OOP Akamai
was very afraid I should have taken his
birth until a college borough who
promised him as follows
I'll tear a mirror mitzraim oh don't be
afraid of going down to Egypt so
decoders for who kela guy go doll a
simcha Sean I'm going to make you a
great nation there a nicely area team
car coach Moore who says I will go down
with you miss Rama to Egypt and Ricky L
kagama Lloyd and I will also raise you
up you know I'm coming down there with
you and I'm gonna stay by your side you
J go personally and you the Jewish
people I'm going to be there with you
I'm gonna stay by your side and I'm
going to bring you out of there the yeas
of yoshisada on alcohol Yosef will be
the one who takes care of you from
beginning to end
okay that's the puzzle that's in Genesis
chapter 46 verse 4 that's in our partial
under my home economist equation is
Baraka I have taught me a pedigree
redesign of course we know that I could
work whose honor God's presence is found
everywhere in the world but there was a
special promise that a shaman was giving
- yeah Covina was was vowing to Yaakov
what is the idea here very interesting
he brings an amazing thing from the
uncle is the targum tea rich an idea
radium climates frowned upon if he'll
hug a Malloy
there's an unusual explanation of the
targum of the of the aramaic translation
which we have which we call uncle ifs in
close was the one who wrote it and
usually
and some kinds gonna point out usually
whenever he translates any verses that
have to do that Kadesh beaucoup speaking
about him going somewhere or him doing
something when God is doing something he
always translates it as the honor of God
did it or the honor of God appeared or
whatever it is but here he doesn't say
them I know of highs in column it's
Trevor I know I suck knock off a sucker
his translation is I will go down with
you and I will bring you out whether
you've asked me doesn't say God's honor
shall do it but rather Hashem himself
around I'm Hank hick sure the Romany
marina bucum ask the question in my
modern easy says jungle stocker become
the home are you a large key case I
guess because he Russia
Patera any kind of mention of
physicality and relationship talk
Elizabeth who in relationship to God
uncle is always translates it as well
you started talking about a Fieri card a
shamrock is you should have translated
it as the honor of God will go down
right but doesn't say that my daughter
came I posted keep shooting at some
sessions work show yeah means email
mitzraim
why does why does uncle's translate it
this way that Hashem himself is going to
his essence is going to go down into
Egypt which is very unusual
rom ban Akasha he videre Haram mom he's
single dwarf the RAM bana Hardee's in in
bringing down the Rambam he says like
this cassava mash Omar Khan I know ahoy
simcha ruts Illinois's he says like this
an amazing thing Hashem wants to hint
mush arugula Mitzvah I'm sorry uncle
Asst by translating it literally once
the hint s mush arugula mister I mean I
am I am that when the Jewish people go
down to Egypt God himself as it were
comes down with them the divine presence
is there with them in Egypt
genera are not the a random comments
time I shall go down with you my Simon
saying I myself I'm gonna be there with
you go Lula alum Jean I'm Amish number
Sam Tiki soy Balaam the verse says the
Jewish people went to a certain goal
assist her in exile in a place called
Elim
God Himself comes with the Jewish people
right it's not just the
of God which is like some you know we
see God a bit its Hashem himself comes
in godless in the exile which is a place
of Hester and that's what you're gonna
speak about it's an amazing idea
listen it's mom is amazing in the Gullah
in the Hester in the darkness it's more
possible it's it's it's an amazing
dichotomy it's more possible to see a
collage for who God Himself is more
visible despite the fact that it's a
darker place and it seems to be a place
where God is less visible amazing thing
kolima
in other words Kevon is a targum so
sublime Friedlander that the idea here
is like this the intent of uncle isn't
translating this way lamer I know our
closing comments Ryan I'm going down
with you into Egypt Trina
excuse me Shekinah ATS my yard I'm I'm
the goddess Mizraim divine presence
itself went down into Egypt to me shows
a follicular Shekinah parameter seen
America in the same way that the Jewish
people merited to have an amazing
revelation of godliness at and my man
I've seen a Mount Sinai God revealed
himself the entire Jewish people saw 1.2
million people or more than half a
million people they all saw God's divine
presence they all heard the Ten
Commandments
so to kazoku Sahul Aguila sheena gamma
goes with a faster
there is also an amazing revelation of a
college Baku in the darkness in the
Hester because she heard of the myths
rhyme on 98m come it's rhymer now Shem
went down into Egypt I'm sorry when the
Jewish people went down to Egypt a sham
said I'm going down there with you pH
Slaven says are crime-free let me need
to understand this high rakish a nice
well bacala's i bathenosh a last upon
him when a Jewish people go down into
this Gulas what is Ghul is what is exile
exile means that the Jewish people
instead of their being in a state of
rectification instead of their being in
a state the proper state of the Jewish
people which is the leaders of the world
or Liguria malign into the nation's so
now they're under their trodden under
the feet under the boot of the nation's
or anyways we're stuck with Egypt Egypt
rules over us makes us into slaves in
our times where I'd beholden to whatever
the nations of the world say we have to
they say we can't act freely and do
what's right and we have to worry about
what the nations will say so what does
it mean so I mean it's rallies in a
place of Hester punim things are not the
way they're supposed to be we don't seek
godliness enormous cash caucus a chemise
walk we don't see his divine providence
in cane mouch you know mom what is the
idea here that the divine presence is
with them
Akeelah she knows if I'm Legolas what is
the idea of the deeper revelation that's
there when we come into to Gullah Center
into exile gums are paired with a
Gomorrah shave shave urine banner on
bomb rings Gomorrah Magilla and I've got
tests page 29 we need to understand the
Gemara look more says like this Tanya be
shimmery Clio mmm
we've abrasive shimmer if I says hail
aggression break I wrote the Czar he
says like this boy you're a comma have
even his relatives near Kodesh borhu let
us see how precious how beloved are the
Jewish people to Hashem should have a
hallmark inshallah Shekinah imine
wherever they went into golus wherever
they went into exile the divine presence
was with them golden winstram shaking my
mind
when they went down to Egypt the divine
presence was with them she's never on
Eaglin had an eagle and a glazed
syllabus a vehicle you guys owe me miss
Ryan brings a verse says that I reveal
myself a sham says I revealed myself to
the Jewish people to the house here our
forefathers when they were in Egypt
gullible she named on Chanel Iman
commercial active Avella
when the Jewish people went down into
Babylonia God went with them
brings a verse after Shana see them the
girl she you know in mind amazing thing
when the Jewish people are about to be
redeemed the divine presence is there
with them we're in this dark dark Dulles
we're in a terrible time seems like the
Jewish people are being destroyed or
threatened destruction of the entire
Land of Israel it seems like everything
is very very difficult even in places
where Jews were safe for so long so much
anti-semitism Europe in America Shem is
there but Lamech right so here is Erica
our shakiness in the Gulf kina mine at
that point where it seems so dark Shems
divine presence is there shava shava
shava subbu schoo Hashem himself shall
return your Gollust those who are
captured those who are stuck in exile
he/she line nemours doesn't say he will
he will return them rather this job he
will return which indicates he will
return with them
shikaku shava Maha maybe a gully who's
God himself as it were returns with the
Jewish people from their godless from
there sir I'm just keeping an eye on the
time here from their exile Rachel having
some time Freelander Sharia Shimon bar
Yochai pass out of our of boy array
coming Aviv in Israel the necklace bro
he starts off and he says let us see how
beloved are the Jewish people to occur -
poor who became the bigger loose so he
my llama Kaka V was Allah maestro it
sounds like the fact that the Jewish
people are in goes the fact that I'm
sorry the Jewish people so let me read
this carefully magic in the burger loser
he my llama copy with salami strong
allow me throw the fact that the
Shekinah comes down with the Jewish
people it sounds like it's because the
Jewish people especially beloved to God
Laurie the her a few socialists upon him
how do we reconcile this with the fact
that there's a tremendous
hiddenness I shall hide his face when
wearing ghosts in the eggs that we don't
see God or the clarity seneschal Esther
punch on a Mac on American Toshiba we we
there's only of these sad songs that we
sing on Tisha but for example all the
times about the fact that the Shekinah
is in Gaza divine presence is in exile
so how is it a milah how is it a
positive thing how are we to understand
this so yeah this is just an amazing
thing he says like this on the Yaakov
Avena booth toshiaki materially my
limits around the goal is an amazing
interesting thing Hashem promises Yaakov
you know as we saw it that's which is in
our parsha that he's going to come down
with the Jewish people into Egypt Allah
bhanna sakina your the quark item a
serious illness for him the truth is at
College Park who His divine presence
already had gone down 22 years earlier
with Yosef America's allies of Sage's
say the idea Seamus Yosef from sharks
bottom laughs the verse tells us that
when Yossi came down to Egypt and he was
a slave for pota fire no matter where he
went God was with him he had a special
Seattle dish man he had a special divine
providence that accompanied him what the
verse is saying this is the way of the
COS Alta to make a deal like this -
there's an indication if the public says
that Hashem was with Yosef it sounds
like he was with Joseph and not with the
other schwa tune that with the other
tribes I'm Arab Hume reviewed and says
like this an amazing thing I'm Marshall
he says a Marshall the Bahamas Ohio the
fun of shanira CB hey - yeah there was a
particular animal driver and he had a
bunch of animals and each channel had on
his back cases of wine Nick knows how a
cosmic a new social ivakova so he has 12
animals one of them goes into a store
which belongs to a non Jew now if wine
comes in contact with a non Jew ilaha is
under most many circumstances it's not
permitted for a Jew to drink it it's
called the ayah Nessa we're afraid that
he might have poured some of the wine
toward for idolatry as a libation for
idolatry which is forbidden you can't
use that so the animal goes inside of
the store the owner of the animal is
afraid so
Valhalla let her out so he left the 11
other animals outside and he went inside
of the store after that one animal I
really might ammonia feed olive oil ha
ha ha ha ha so they asked him what are
you doing you're going inside of the
story leaving the 11 other animals
outside why why are you going into the
store like that real ahem
Aloysius around name Vani closure sh
showing se-young Nessa there they're in
the public domain
I'm not concerned that a non Jew is
going to come into contact with them
ha right but the one that went inside of
the store is in danger you've come in
contact with a non Jew to become pasal
it can become
can't be used anymore well ruin it won't
be able to sell it anymore cat a loogie
delicious avium so to the NIMH shell is
that the 11 tribes all of yellow six
brothers so they were they were still in
Earth's Israel they were still by their
father and they had proper guidance and
they - for who kiddie alcohol wasn't as
concerned about them about something
happening to them that would be negative
however I thought zasu caught on this
Yosef he's only 17 years old who
Beerschot sats money and he's on his own
he has no one to help him no one to
guide him the FIFA Club I hear Seamus
Yosef Shannon gave him special Seattle
dish man because for who went with him
and gave him extra special divine
providence mùi civilian sharikov that's
the indication the verse that hashem
specifically went with Yosef and not
with the brothers because Yosef needed
it more because he wasn't goals because
he was in a dark place and he was all
alone
Coosh Baku 22 years before Yakko came
down to Egypt uncle - war who already
went down as it were God Himself went
down with Yosef to protect him to take
care of him to give him special divine
providence so he says like this move or
bitumen hazael what do we see from our
sages like this a loo a saga darshan hug
Athena a Mamba goes what is the idea
what is the concept of the Shiina going
down into gose of god's divine presence
being with the jewish people the galaxy
ISIF who is on hoggish condemned igloo
so when he also goes down into Egypt
when he goes down into this exile so
he's laying down the foundation he's the
first one he's he's right whenever we
have the he's the pioneer so to speak
right so he's going down and he's the
one who's setting up the setting the
stage for the Jewish people to come down
and and to be in gulleson exile okay
Oona Cleo says I'm hugging so it's worse
were we're laying down the foundations
what does it mean that God's presence is
going to be with the Jewish people later
on also Colorado is Shani's
well not just them but for all of the
exits of the Jewish people right I mean
Democrats Al aluminum never bottomed out
- cantilever loose so we see that there
are two different ways of looking at the
fact that God's presence is there in the
gulls in the Exile means that I had whom
at social Esther problem it's true
we have this amazing the economy from
one perspective so yes there's there's a
darkness yosemite side goes down there
and it seems like you know he's a slave
everything is going wrong
he's been sold unjustly everything is
unfair right God is hiding himself in
that in that respect right beside that
Korematsu shall I step on machine
regular sashko sashimi's mark it seems
like a coach broker who is not there
this is a gourmets Hester prod me so
ISIF and the brothers also had that
darkness right because they didn't they
didn't have the extra the extra divine
providence with them coming either way
so a solution I mom but there was
something extra special that occurred
for Yosef which he did have she hustles
Mira a yes meet with Matt social Hester
that within the darkness within the
darker situation that the more difficult
situation get extra help in extra help
on one hand it looked like a terrible
situation but on the other hand all of
these unusual events kept taking place
he kept on having circumstances which
clearly show that Coolidge Park who is
with him in the darkness inside ikkaku
fiscal is a Sabbath you know she'll has
step on him yes sir sure bits are no
raha we may solve it on one hand it was
a terrible time for your safety was he
was far away from his father's house he
was he was a slave it was a terrible
time he does illegal ochco
I saw her aces up is the shekinah
innovation me ISIF
he saw everything that he did I could
walk was helping him tremendous success
and everything that he does and and even
his master sees that it was he points
out she mirim you had a smashing Iraqi
deletion rocky my rook limited to my
Smith's rhyme he had extra special
divine providence divine help in order
to help him to be able to survive the
impurity of Egypt Egypt was a terrible
place was a place of intense impurity
and
hence lack of spirituality Hashem was
there to help him that he should survive
and thrive community of Zucco lyrics are
pretty similar Miroslava company sent us
let's luck we see we might see other not
only did I have success in his
brilliance he had success in SK she had
a crush for who showed him that he was
there with him constantly by his side
constantly helping him so that's the
dichotomy which we all experience to the
extent that we're stuck in exile to the
extent that we see it seems like a
goldish borrow who has has left us or
seen that Curtis Prabhu is left on
Easter Island at the same time there's a
special hot slaw huh yeah I mean you
look you look in America you look at
even those who are not close up or even
those who are not religious this is sir
that's luffa that Jews have Jews are
smart you know I Do's are smart because
a college boy who is giving them that
smartness he's planted it within them
and and it's true in the circumstances
people who are now from and it's true of
course with those who are from those who
are religious as a special see attitude
Ishmael that we have no matter where we
are and of course even an artist all
we're still in Gaul
in exile there we still of Hester part
of me so don't see I couldn't for whose
hand it seems like things are dark it
seems that we're controlled by the most
Ireland by the nations of the world and
yet as he points out and I'm not gonna
read this in cycles were the end of our
time but he points out that through
through this whole story
right as Yeltsin goes down to Egypt as
the brothers as Yaakov Aveeno is enable
he thinks his son is dead
thinks he was dead as you who to loses
his significance is prestige among his
brothers for not leading them properly
through that all what happens you who at
that very moment goes and he ends up
with Temari ends up creating the seeds
of mushiya pandava the future goula
the Google of three thousand years later
three thousand three hundred three
thousand more three thousand five
hundred years later is planted the seeds
vector will are planted at that time
right I want to read this inside a
cocoon on you bits are naira on one hand
they're all in tremendous pain moving
yeah I said yahoo the it seems like just
terrible things are going on
Romano sashimi's Martina show has
upon him we either protect I support
Marcos Rojo makin a sure shadow Irish
mushiya God is preparing the ultimate
light of mashiac of the Messiah he's
preparing the ultimate redemption he's
being planted right the the the twins
that are born to Tamar from you who did
from that Union one of them is parrots
was the great-grandfather of Dada Malek
of King David who's the
great-grandfather of a Shia of the
Messiah who mr. Sean will be coming soon
no we see it just this amazing deep idea
that a college bar who to the extent
that there's a darkness in our lives
the extended is a darkness for on Easter
off the Jewish people there's extra
special Ashikaga practice that comes in
and that code is one who is preparing as
the difficulties begin as the trouble
starts I could respond who is preparing
from within those troubles the very
seeds of the pita on the answer the
conclusion of the whole story so I wanna
bless you and ask you to bless me
because the schmuck who should help us
to recognize whenever the things are
tough whenever there are challenges in
our life that he is there with us giving
us extra aid despite the fact that
there's extra darkness there's also
extra light now colors for who help us
to see that light to recognize that he's
there with us at every stage and at
every step
