Ari Goldwag - Vayigash - Times of Redemption

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold Wegg recorded with a gems never-ending assistance in our mafia she's real 5778 2017 this week's parshas Parsifal you gosh we have the culmination of this story 22 years of history of the Jewish people the culmination we're yahudah Judah stands up for his brother Benjamin for Benjamin in the face of this Egyptian tyrant and yo se finally reveals himself to his brothers and they return to Earth cease well to the Land of Israel and tell their father Yaakov avi knew about the fact that Yosef is still alive and that he's a leader in Egypt and the Jewish people descend to the land of Egypt and so begins their time in exile outside of the Land of Israel for 210 years now what's amazing and interesting which I'd like to try to understand is that the measures speaks about this final interaction between between Yehuda no safe and the Jewish people descending to Egypt it brings versus I'm gonna read it to you soon inside because it's really interesting beautiful the way the measure speaks it brings verses that refer to the future gule of the jewish people the redemption of the jewish people the final redemption the messianic age it uses those verses in regards to this final coming together of you who de and yo safe the 12 tribes Yaakov Avena the descent of the Jewish people to Egypt there is an aspect here of gula of redemption and of course the the question that pops out for me and maybe for you as well as we learn these ideas together is that it's very interesting or perhaps challenging to understand why is it that the mesh speaks about verses of gula of redemption when it's speaking about the beginning of Gullah it's the beginning of exile what is the concept of redemption what is the concept of gula how does it relate to our story how does it relate to us in our times in the present time okay so I'd like to read with you together some it's Russian it's really cool so listen up this isn't partial sorry Hey in Section 95 the first the first section within that section yes you who the shut off the phone of the verse tells us that after the the the brothers returned and told Yaakov that Yosef was in Egypt so Yaakov sent Judah ahead of everyone else and now as I'll say to establish a Shiva is to establish a place for the Jewish people to sojourn when they were in Egypt etc so that's you the shuffle of fun of systematics if the measures brings a verse in Isaiah chapter 65 verse 25 which is speaking about the future time the Messianic age and it says a vitally yirou Kia Hood the wolf and the Sheep they will graze as one no longer in the future time no longer will a wolf try to eat a sheep sheep will not be in danger from the wolf the REA cobb acarya called heaven and a lion just like cattle it shall eat from the straw it will no longer be carnivorous animals will no longer be carnivorous they will not attack each other they will live in amazing harmony in the times of the messianic age this is this verse can be taken literally and this verse is also a muscles also an analogy for the fact that those who in our times and throughout history human beings who have interacted with negativity with with a warlike type of behavior well no longer we won't have any war anymore Lisa God doesn't bring this verse here well I use a girl good hair if you want to i Mihama you will not raise up sword against each other they won't learn war anymore there will be a time of peace boy you're a says the magician amazing an interesting thing listen to this because it's gonna teach us about what the Messianic age is going to look look like what do we have to look forward to boy you're a commercial Hickok Kaddish for kaboom hazare my rap is a loss to love anything that Shem has caused a blemish in in this world God is going to cure in the future time however miss I miss wrap him those who are blind will be cured they'll be able to see in mr as a verse says this is also verse in Isaiah chapter 35 verse 5 obviously picanha in a different then the eyes of the blind shall be opened a piece Kimmie rapping miss rapping and those who are unable to walk they'll be cured shenana the verse says the next verse there chapter 35 cause you dhalika isle pasea then a a person who is lame shall skip along like a doe misssara and listen Elaine and those who are mute they were their tongue will say praise they'll say glad they will sing okay so in the future time anything that's broken anything that's not in a perfect state will be fixed dushashana Mahila Kokubo very interesting the measures tells us that the way that a person left the world when a person passes away in this world if a person was lame when he passed away over a person was blind when he passed away that's the way he's going to return in the times of kiss amazed him the future so we're going to have a revival of the dead that are going to come back to life as is described in Ezekiel chapter on the dry bones it's gonna happen in the future time so all those who are dead are gonna come back to life but they're gonna come back the same way that they left the world I leave everybody better person who died and he was blind will return and he'll be blind okay red shoebox arish when a person if he was deaf when he died it will come back deaf healing will be lame if he was mute he'll return mute James you higher Kailash cocklebur lavash mightor says something else interesting that the the same way that he leaves the world if a person left the world and he had clothing on or a certain type of clothing so he will return in that kind of clothing in a mensch I'm gonna actually skip a little bit here but the measure Springs approved fact that there's that there's spiritual clothing so to speak in in the upper worlds and upper realms Shmuel Hanavi Samuel when he was brought back when his spirit was brought back he was seen in his clothing and the special clothing that he wore when he was alive the Lama so manner says why is that why is it that when he comes back he comes back in the same state why isn't in combat wisely I'm cure him already when he returns shim-sham chanukah kuba should I ever question creep on me Shimizu reap on Michael dish borrow cool haha cough heavy on we don't want people to say look when the person was alive Hashem didn't cure him only after they died the - I'm curious we don't want people to say that rather damaged I'm a saint and I son la loi hear him part of it is that people will think it's not the same person look if everyone knew and identified a person is being a blind person or being a deaf person but they come back and almost they're able to see or be able to hear they would think this is not the same person so a Shem does Oaxaca - Burcu I'm Kang Yeon Doo Kamisha ha ah ha ha ha near appears and let them return the way that they left the world and then a Shem says I will restore them - or I will cure them of their el of their ailments la mala finally nicer el innumerably son no one else has that power no one else has created except for me says God first in Isaiah chapter 43 verse 10 I'm going to be the one who's going to cure them Bava highest metropolis the amazing thing the measure tells us really interesting the animals as well will be cured Chimere what does it mean cured in this case it may mean also in regards to if they have any physical ailments but beyond that they're going to be cured of their carnivorous nature of their of their desire to cause other animals harm she never is a Vitelli Arouca hood so as the verse tells us that the wolf and the lamb will graze as one they will all be herbivores and I believe that human beings will also return to a state of no longer eating meat as it was total times Anoa I call miss Rapp him everything is cured Misha Haven Michalek all nos Raffy I love another shot for laughs mine now the only exception to this the exception to this is the one who brought this great blemished in the entire world who was the one who brought the blemish the entire world it was the now hush the snake because the snake caused Adam to eat from the inside ass to eat from the tree of knowledge thereby causing death to be brought upon the world and all of reality to lose its state of perfection to lose its proper way of being and to fall into this degenerated or degenerative place as it is today so who is the cause of that it was the not much the snake therefore the snake will never be returned to his previous state that's what the measure says and it's also interesting 8006 brings down mentions and explaining what's going on here that when other my research on sin is brings it from a know or maybe my resume now I have multiple sources I've read the different commentaries here that the there's a hazael our sages tell us that after all of our reach and after the first man eight from the eight sadhus from the forbidden fruit so he actually gave of that fruit to all of the animals all the animals also partook of the forbidden fruit and therefore they lost their place their state of grace their state of highness that was lowered okay not much of who I read I release the offer because the cause of all of the problems why did all the animals end up dying it was because of the nephesh listening so therefore he doesn't return never author now the message comes to us and speaks about our verse that speaks about how this verse which speaks about Messiah is actually also speaking or no it's also or maybe it's only we can discuss that try to understand that but it's also speaking about our story is a vittala James opinion it speaks about the fact that the wolf and the Sheep they reside together today they go and engraves together in the fields so who is the wolf says the manage the wolf is Benjamin little aylesh Martin wolf me knows me know me because the versatile person is Benjamin Zeb you troff mean yo man it's like a wolf that goes to find its food so Benjamin is the is the wolf and the the sheep are the other short-term are the other truck she never says in Jeremiah chapter 50 verse 17 Seth is really Australia Rukia hood to spread out sheep of the people of Israel they shall all join together and they will graze as one so we see who are the sheep that are grazing they're gonna come together in the times of Michelle from times the Messiah the Jews will return to their homeland they will gather back together but we refer to them as sheep now so there's a state of Google as a state of redemption where all of the of the Sheep come back together and they graze together with the wolf who's the wolf in Yemen like we said who are the Sheep the Jewish people the other tribes Amos psyche Ivan yo man you mind my Yaakov a man I'm lay everybunny him off from the first time they were separated right the the wolf was separated from the sheep the wolf was left behind with his father that was min young man was left behind with Yaakov Avena didn't let him go down I can't show you I'll show you already my him I mean last time I said well you mature and I say when they came down the second time so they took Benjamin with them and they were protecting him cameos everybody so saying of ours be Naaman by Joseph it says that he had to lift up his eyes yet to like stretch out to see oh my god swear there's Benjamin why why why isn't necessary for for Yosef to lift up his eyes to be able to like crane his neck to see him because as some unfortunate explained here the brothers were protecting they were surrounding him okay so he was surrounded there so if cameos if or America verse says okay I'm sorry said that right now are ya who though the verse also says as we said before as we quoted you have the wolf and the and and the Sheep together and then you have the lion behaving like cattle and eating straw so who is this line re Isaiah who de it's a reference to Judah who are you who do we find the verse refers to Judah as a lion Quebec are the verse says he's going to be like cattle who is the cattle Quebecers are yes if it's a reference to joseph corey scherer they're like the verse refers to him as an ox which is cattle named Sue Ellen key aha so the verse tells us they were all eating together at the second time when they returned and in the last exposure so we have them all eating together all in the same place all grazing together so to speak we have the lion we have the Sheep we have the cattle we have the wolf if all of these aspects are coming together all these different aspects of the Jewish people issue the fun of he Somalia vivia re a Quebec or you healt have enough you gonna see with the shock of fun of so that is why Yaakov Aveeno felt comfortable as him a fortune explained cuvee no felt comfortable sitting down Jude originally when Judah brought back the the cosinus have passed in a special coat of Joseph and he said hot care nah he said to Yaakov of Ian to Jacob is this do you recognize this coat whose coat is this and Jacob saw the coutny said tariff tariff Yosef he said Joseph was killed he thought as unfortunate explaining he thought that Judah had killed him that's what he assumed perhaps in a deep subconscious level not clear exactly what it's saying but until this moment Jakob was cautious he wouldn't have sent Yehuda to down to be alone with your safe because he suspected him of having killed yo safe but now that Yaakov saw that everything came back into a state of perfection of love of the lion with the lamb the lands with the wolf the Lions with the cattle everyone's in a state of love so to speak so at this point Yaakov is not afraid to send down you who died you say seem down yahudah can now go down and and pave the way for the Jewish people to descend to Egypt now the there's another measure which I'm not going to read inside which also speaks about this these verses in terms of the verses it speaks about our verses which speak about the completion of the story here coming together of the of the brothers in in and uses the references of the verses that have to do with Messiah let's do the Messiah the final redemption and so like we started the beginning I want understand what is the meaning here what is the idea or what is the depth of of the fact that the Torah the metric there's a Redemption here what is the redemption here it seems like there's an exile here what is the redemption here what is idea of gula of redemption how does that apply here how does that apply to the Messianic age how does it apply to us because we are staring we're looking at the beginnings of the redemption in our time so so how do we see that or how do we understand that what is the concept of gula what is the concept of redemption so I think that in our Madras we see the foundation of what is gula the first part of the measure speaks about the fact that when Messiah comes all the animals are going to be back to the original state of our nation come before the sin of Adam when the animals were not carnivorous when they did not attack each other the human beings are gonna be back in a state of perfection physically physical perfection there won't be any blemishes and then there won't be any sickness there won't be any blindness there won't be any any lameness all these things will be brought back that's the key here that's what Google is Google is where everything has brought back returned to its original state to its state of perfection that's what Google means Google that means things are brought back to where they should be to where they were originally until they fell from that state of perfection that's what cool is mushiya the Messianic age is not new it's not a new state it's a return to the original state before autumn are we shown sin that's what Messiah is that that's what this manager is telling us it's very clear it's very clear okay so that's you know the when we look at a person who's blind he has eyes that he can't see so it's very clear the way it's supposed to be but it's not he's blind and he needs to be returned to that state that's what Google is right he doesn't come back to life being in a state when I'm a when they see us I'm a sum of course he doesn't come back to life in the state of perfection already the ghulam means a return to the original state we recognize that we've lost the original state and we return to that original state that is gula yo see if it's attic and his brothers 22 years before they were in the perfect state already they didn't accept it but they were in that perfect state Yosef had these dreams represented the fact that he was the leader of the Jewish people represented the fact that he was the one who was supposed to guide them and help them right he brought negative reports to the Father why because he understood his role in the Jewish people which was to show them to guide them to help them be who they're supposed to be which is what he continues to do throughout our story and this is why he brings them through this whole difficult saga that is Yosef that is his role that is who he's supposed to be that is lost they they deny the fact that that's who he's supposed to be they're not willing to accept it at the beginning of the story ultimately Google occurs Redemption occurs things return to their state of the way things are supposed to be now does that look like Google doesn't look like the Jewish people are artists from the land of Israel in this case now in this case although there is a gula there is a Redemption the redemption here just means that the Jewish people return to their state of being in a perfected state in the way it's supposed to be with Yosef at the helm he's the sadiq he's the righteous one he's the one who knows how to guide them to spiritual perfection to achieve that which they need to do to rectify that which they need to rectify that's his purpose that's his role and interestingly and this is actually a completely different discussion but interestingly he does it as the leader not just of the Jewish people he does it as the leader of the entire world which is someone sent me an email yesterday chef Jourdan Sheva Tov skis sent me an email asking why is it that you that yo save us to reveal himself when when you who that says you know what the message speaks about this this conversation which is not in the Torah where yahudah and the brothers say they're gonna destroy Egypt they're ready to destroy Egypt no safe is a suit at that moment he sees they're gonna destroy Egypt has to stop and he has to reveal himself but what is the idea behind that because Yosef has to be the leader over Egypt in order to be the leader over the witch and Egypt represents the entire really the entire world at that time so Yosef is the leader of Egypt and then he's the leader of the Jewish people okay so that's the function he can't be the leader over the Jewish people unless he's or we need both of them to function simultaneously the Jewish people need to lead the world right you're safe is that Sadiq is the mashiac of his generation we're coming into a state of perfection for his generation which is which is reminiscent of or or really it's the same as the concept of Messiah they can't he can't allow them to destroy Egypt because he needs to the Jewish people need to lead the world that's our purpose and that's the osseous purposes and he's functioning in that way that's the machetes going to do as well he's not just gonna leave the Jewish people is gonna leave the entire world the Jewish people are gonna be the leaders of the entire world okay so that's just that point but the idea here is that Yosef add Sadiq he's coming into a state of returning that's what gall gula means Redemption and I thought and this is my own finish but my own novelty but the word God the root of the word God which means to redeem is given a la flama those three letters gimel Aleph lament the letter gimel in sacred surah in other places represents the aspect of Guyver separation ego where we separate from each other the letter gimel is also gamma which means Liga mal means to be weaned to be separated from your source of life to be separated to feel separate when a person is egotistical to feel separate he can do it himself rhaggy mo represents guy represents separateness I'll lift the letter Alif represents unity it's the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and also is its pet it's the same letters as Paulo which means awesomeness exaltedness something which is beyond understanding that's the unity of all of reality is the letter Aleph letter alam it means to learn Lamade means to learn gimel Aleph Lama what is goola goola is when gimel the separateness the brokenness Aleph Lama learns that it's supposed to be in a state back into the state of oneness back in the state of unity back into its original state Aleph is the first letter it's the original aspect so we have to go through this whole story 22 years of challenge 22 years of difficulty 22 years of this whole process coming along in order to reach the point where we return to the original state to the olive and the gimel the separateness the defiance learns about the fact that we're really to partake of unity that's what gula is its return to original intended State so that's so that's what we're speaking about here and that's the Googler here it may not be the final ultimate Kula it was the gula of returning to the the way things are meant to be to the way things are supposed to be within the Jewish people and also within Egypt itself so I want to bless you and ask you to please bless me ashram should help us that we should be able to be second to merit to understand what are the things that we are missing what are the where are the places that we are spiritually sick perhaps or spiritually missing spiritually blemished some should help us that we should experience our own personal gula our own personal Redemption which means that should give us the guidance and the spiritual understanding to return to the place of our spiritual perfection
