okay
good evening everyone brook my bomb
welcome
welcome to all the torah anytime viewers
and uh we want to thank
rabshuki
who is sponsoring
ice cream the only thing is it has not
arrived yet
okay
but uh
okay so we begin
obviously
hanukkah is approaching
and we're going to discuss
an interesting aspect of hanukkah and
we're going to examine a very important
part of the question and that is if you
look through mishnais
one will notice that the word hanukkah
does appear a number of times tanaka
does appear in the mishnah's
for instance
in the sakta vikram when you have to
offer your first fruits so the mishnah
says
that
um yeah if anybody's interested in ice
cream uh ribsuki's coast will be
distributing the ice cream
anyway the mishna says
it says like this
from sukis until hanukkah
that's the time of the year that you
could bring the bikurim
and fulfill all the technical
requirements of the quran so that's one
mention of hanukkah and the mishnahs
another mention of chanaka it's uh the
mishnah says in rosh hashanah about how
during certain months of the year the
agents of bazin would go out and
proclaim when rosh chodesh was one of
the months of the year that the agents
would go out was kiss slave because of
hanukkah
another mention is
right
damages
one would not necessarily think that
hanukkah would be mentioned
and nevertheless the mission tells us
that if a storekeeper keeps a fire
outside of his store
and all right let's imagine if you made
a light a fire outside your store and a
guy walks by he knocks over the fire he
burns down the whole building so
obviously the store keeper is going to
be held liable for the damages who keeps
the fire outside of their store however
the mishna says
chanukah you have license to light a
fire outside of the store and if any
damage happens you're not responsible
fine
so there are a number of mentions of
hanukkah and the mishnah
and nevertheless one would expect
that there should be an entire masakhta
dedicated
and we have many many mistakes about all
the yamato we have uh we have roshana
yuma sukkah
and yet there's no message about chanaka
why not why is there no mussafta about
hanukkah
okay that's what one of the questions
we're going to address this evening
there's no
hanukkah
but
there's a big megillah but there's
nothing on hanukkah and megillah is only
one day
so why don't we have a massage about
hanukkah i just want to mention
then in the back of the shasta you have
what we call masatos katanos besides the
regular masakos you have little tiny
masatos
and says the vilnigon some of them were
lost
one of them the villenegon says was
that's the approach of the villenegon
that there was a masakanaka and it was
lost but we are going to
endeavor this evening to try to come up
with a different explanation why is
there no masakana
yeah okay
listen to this we're going to examine
one of the most complicated and complex
episodes in all of tanakh
and we're going to view it in a new way
okay and that is
yosef the sale of yosef
and the first question we have to ask
ourselves is what in the world were the
brothers thinking
they're going to try to kill their
brother
i mean who are we talking about here
we're not talking about
eleven slouches we're talking about the
gdyle oil we're talking about the
greatest
12 individuals who are alive other than
yaakov avinu their names are engraved on
the breastplate the hoshen on the
these are the 12 greatest sages in the
jewish people how could they try to kill
their brother what were they thinking
what are they thinking
first of all they wouldn't they wouldn't
kill anybody the brothers would not kill
anyone the shabbat they wouldn't kill
anyone they won't even kill a guy
certainly not their brother yeah they're
there misa but why would they ordinarily
they wouldn't kill they want her to fly
why would they come why would they try
to kill their brother
and not only that the matters tells us
something incredible that i was not
aware of the letter says that after the
brother is coming to joseph and joseph
reveals himself and he says
everybody leave the room so everyone
leaves the room it's only yosef and his
brothers and yousef says
so what would we expect the brothers to
do we expect the brothers to break down
and start crying says the medarish the
brothers took out their sword and they
were about to kill him
they wanted to kill him so they're back
well one second
the day before what did the brothers say
they said
they said we're guilty they started to
do cuba they started to think why is god
bringing all of this tragedy upon us we
go down to egypt and the king of egypt
has framed us with uh with his goblet
and we're in big trouble and he's going
to put us in jail and he's going to take
benjamin
right and they said
we're guilty for selling our brother and
what happens
as soon as they find out that this guy
is your safe we would expect them to get
down on their hands and knees and say
please forgive us be michael us we're
going to go to gehenna
no what do they would do says the
mattress they're about to kill him again
until amal came
and separated them
but they didn't learn the lesson the day
before they were they're saying they
were doing cuba they were having kharata
they're not killing him no they're doing
shiva for for selling him maybe they
should kill them no no that's not what
they're right it says
in fact the rashi says they went into
mitzrayim they said we're willing to
risk our lives to bring back our brother
and now as soon as they find out yosef
is yosef they want to kill him again
okay
another question
another question is like this we find
that yaakov avinu had no idea that yosef
was sold
but why not yaakov was a navi why didn't
hashem tell him
so there's a concept that the brothers
were mistates hashem
in a certain agreement that means they
joined god up with them
and they made a treaty they made a pact
that nobody is going to tell yaakov by
the way the questions i'm about to ask
i'm asking you come from the shelah
qadosh and we'll see in a moment
so that means khazal tell us our sages
tell us that the brothers
joined god in this secret deal that no
one's telling yakov and why are they
getting god involved in this it's bad
enough they want to kill their brother
they have to drag god into the picture
and they have to be mashtate hashem in
this there is a so to speak a kheram
they put a they were going to
excommunicate anybody who reveals tiakov
that yosef was sold including god were
they getting god involved in it why are
they joining hashem
you know there's a concept that um
saddiquim don't like to be involved in
in uh
in uh what
in any kind of strife even when yaakov
aveeno at the end of his life he's
giving a bracha to shimon a levy what
does the aka say i see in the future
there's going to be something called
korach i don't want my name mentioned
there when it says
right
ben levy it doesn't say benyakov why
yaakov said leave me out of it so we
know they don't like getting involved in
stripes so why are the brothers dragging
god into the picture
hashem along in
again so number one is
how could the brothers try to kill yosef
it's
number two why are they schlepping
hashem
number three
who are the main characters in the yosef
story
going down to misray i'm talking to
yosef dealing with yosef speaking to
yaakov who are the main characters
yeah you have yourself and you have you
done
why yehuda
well maybe this vulan has something to
say maybe dun should speak up usher has
something what white after you that
nobody else has anything to say about
this
maybe you suck
also in the beginning of the parashat
yosefatsadeki has two dreams he has a
dream of the
bundles
and the dream of the stars both dreams
are basically saying the same thing all
the bundles bow down to joseph's bundles
oh the stars badly onto yosef what do
you need two dreams for one dream is not
good enough you have to have two dreams
what was the purpose of these two dreams
okay
and
finally question number six
is
if you read through the power shift from
beginning to end
it's basically that one topic what is it
about
the sale of yosef with a brief
excuse expression with a brief like a
commercial in the middle right we have a
brief interruption what's the
interruption about
right it says they sell yosef down to
mitsrayam okay you know
we saw we have to interrupt the
regularly scheduled parasha to bring you
the following story there's a man by the
name of yehuda he goes down to some
place he has two sons they both get
married they both die for sinning
yehudah
then
what
he bumps into one of their wives he
doesn't want to live with her amalah
comes he pushes him into her they live
together yehuda
lives with his daughter-in-law fine and
now the door-in-law is accused of
of of immodest behavior and they're
about to kill her
and yehuda admits it's me
and then oh let's go back to yosef and
mitzrayim
what does this story of yehuda
living with tamar got to do with yosef
in the time it's so important to know
this that we have to interrupt the
parasha and minnow at ravi until
right
we stop this yosef story right and then
we bring you some kind of episode that
has nothing to do with anything
what's it interrupting the parachute for
what they didn't have enough words in
the pasture so we had a you know there's
certain minimum words you have to have
in the past they weren't they weren't
making it so we stuck in the story of
tamar what's it got to do with anything
much more important
so let's see let's see
let's see by the way we're going to
learn now the
the way the hakadosh understands
he was born in the year 1560
somewhere near prague he passed away in
1630 in israel in tavaria where he's
buried next to the
rambam
buried right next to the rambla
he was a holy jew
but let me tell you
that the shallow colors when he was a
young man he was the rav and prague
together with rabbit frying lunchits who
is the author of the kliyaka
kliyakar passed away and the shlaha
colors took over as a rub of one of the
most prestigious cities in europe
he's he's a rabbi in europe but he's
yearning for arts israel he's yearning
for the holy land
and
finally in the year 1620 his wife passes
away
and now it's time for him to make his
dream a reality and he's planning on
moving towards israel but he doesn't
want to tell anyone he doesn't even tell
his children the year 1621 comes word
slips out that the shlo is about to move
his children find out they plead with
him please stay please stay you say no
i've already made up my mind he's on his
way to arts as well but he says as a
consolation to you
i will write you a special ethical will
he starts writing writing writing he
can't finish one volume two volumes
three volumes i have five big volumes at
home that was his sabah his ethical
world the state for swahili
was the will that the wrote for his
children he was not able to finish the
narrative israel
um he's not able to finish it in prague
he finished in the arts as well very
interesting the schleich arrives in arat
israel he has two offers we spoke about
the shabbos knight he has an offer from
the city of tsfast to be the rabbi he
has an offer from the city of ushalayim
deshla himself was in ashkenazi there
were more ashkenazim in yerushalayim at
the time plus you shallam had a wall
around it and he chooses to go to
yerushalayim he enters the gates of
yushalayam
friday arab shabbas pasha's vayetze what
are the gates of you shall i am called
in
say
which is the parish of the gra on the
siddha
the the shlock
when he comes towards israel he is
introduced to a whole system of kabbalah
that he did not did not have familiarity
with when he was in europe and then the
soviet the writings of italian the
arizona which were widespread arts
israel they had not made their way to
europe at the time and the shah became
very proficient in that the shlo is
known as an ish kadosh by the way he was
also independently wealthy
and they say that at every meal he he
fed 80 bahrain at his table at every
meal
that's a slack
eventually um
there was uh he had trouble and you
shalom he had a flee fleet it's fast and
then to tavaria
so i prefer
i see where you're going
okay
so says
the says
that
shavit levy was given a kessar was given
one crown
the kesar kahuna right kahuna was given
to levy
in fact why was his name lazy when he
was born
they gave him to the
gabriel
was malava him accompanied him with 24
gifts and they named him levi
yosef was given the khesar torah yaakov
yosef all the torah learning that yaakov
learned in yeshiva
but there is a third crown
the crown of
kingdomship of reign of power who does
that belong to that belongs to yahudah
kings come from yehudah in fact yaakov
tells on his deathbed
the scepter cannot be moved away from
yehuda
and what does this mean says the this is
a little kabbalistic okay so hold on to
your seats for a moment
right what are the legs of god's chair
no one's the face of those are the four
images on god's throne
and now there's another thing that god's
chair has four legs what are the four
legs leg number one is avraham
love number two is yitzchak leg number
three is yankov the only thing is if you
ever stand on a chair with three legs
right it's gonna fall down a chinese
four legs not a stool it's a chair a
chair needs four legs the fourth leg is
the leg that gives the chair amida gives
it standing right that's the what we
call the market
that's the the most important leg is
that fourth leg the fourth leg allows
the chair to stand the fourth leg of
god's throne is
david
why is david the fourth leg because
david
yehuda is based
when there is a kingdom in the israel
that allows god's kingdom
to be understood and recognized in the
world when we have malchus based of it
when when the jewish people have a real
king and that means the country is being
ruled by the torah
that means god's
reign is understood and perceived in
this world
that's that's confusing because
is a very important concept for the
jewish people why was it inappropriate
because the jews asked we want a king
it's not the concept of malchus was
foreign to the jewish people it's the
way they asked for it now how could we
know there were kings from other shabbat
him like shalom allah came from shaiban
yaman says the
what does the word sha'al mean
borrowed
he was on borrow time he was borrowing
maluha
you could borrow the king from yahudah
you could borrow malchus you can't use
serpent you can't take it mahrez belongs
to yehudah
and when when there's mahaprabhu in the
world god's mahrus is recognized in the
world that's why the posix says says
hashem
god will be the king
hashem
israel god's kingdom is recognized in
the world
then was uh
united was united from heaven
yeah there was this god's reign was
recognized in this world
almost almost
almost as much as you can going forward
because that would be better
than uh
okay
okay so it's a continuous it was a long
time
okay
it gives stability to god's throne when
yehudah was born what does the torah say
when reuven was born
when shimon was born by tower by taylor
when levy was born by david when yehuda
was born it says
it finally gave permanence to god's
throne okay
back down to earth a little bit
says the
says the something very interesting
so what's the isafe doing having being
the king dreaming of being the king
dreaming of being the melech like the
brothers tell him
you're going to rule over us
what's your save dreaming about being
the king
says the
that the verdict of history is the way
god orchestrates history
is that yosef
paves the road
for the jewish people to allow malchus
based of it what does that mean
you can't have a king if you don't have
a people if you don't have an am if you
don't have a nation
right if you have a bunch of disparate
people you can't have an you can't have
a king because you don't have a people a
king has to be a king over a nation the
job of yosef at sadiq is he lays the
foundation just a moment back in the
heavens the middah of yosef
yasod you ever hear that yosef is yasud
he lays the foundation of the jewish
people maybe afterwards we could explain
that on a deeper level but that is the
verdict of history
yosef comes he unites the people as an
am
paving the road for malchus based of it
where do we find such a thing we always
find such a thing the point was yosef
was going to go down to the triumph
gather the jewish people together
make us a nation
protect us from the egyptian influence
and as soon as we leave egypt
but that's the verdict of history yosef
is not the king
yosef is the yasod
the same thing with the basa maktash
where were the two battery mcduchen
built and who share
yehuda right
but yeah but the mishkan inherits israel
was weir
mishkan shiloh
because yosef paves the road he creates
the foundation he creates the sod
and now we're ready for yehuda to rule
no
there was gibon gilgal but sheila was
the most permanent of all the
all the mishkans okay
and even when meshiach comes lost to
love oh we have a concept first comes
mashiach ben yosef meshech
paves the road and now
that's how
god
sets
prepares malchus based of it so yosef
never had any thoughts of really being
the king
even though he was the king what yosef's
plan was and what god's plan was yosef
would pave the road he would lay the
foundation and now we're ready for
yehuda to be the king
and as soon as the jewish people left
mitzrayim
that concept of yehuda at the lead
already was realized right as the
marched on through the midbar which shay
that took the leave lead yehudah
yehudah
but
the biggest
so important to to pass the road you
didn't even get into israel no he not
necessarily for our even in mitzrayim he
prepares them in israel
and then as soon as they leave the time
he's just he's the uh you know before
you build the city
you gotta pave the roads that's yo
safe's job yosef is yasod he lays the
foundation now why do you need to bring
him to egypt but he can do it in a
different place
why african egypt
maybe we'll discuss
come after come come come over after
math okay
okay
so again so yosi fatsadik his job is he
lays the foundation for mahasi
and how many times does this happen
mitzrayim
and lasallava when mashiach will come
but the father did not understand this
the schwann viewed yosef what yosef was
doing they didn't understand that yosef
was merely going to pave the road for
yehuda to be the king
they thought yosef had plans of usurping
the maluka taking over he's going to be
the king past his dad passing it down to
his children and that forever malchus
would be in shayvat yehudah
and shayta yosef right thank you
and the brothers knew the gemara tells
us
anyone who argues that
is like arguing on the shrine
why
we've explained already because since
the space of it is the fourth leg that
gives god's kise a certain permanence
and allows god's dominion to be
recognized in the world so if you're
going to argue if you're going to be
holy you're going to rebel against david
and yehudah it's like rebelling against
god
right so if you're more against the king
of flesh and blood you're high of misa
all the more so if you start off with
god himself because starting up with
malchus
is like starting up with god
so
that is what happens to someone who is
muriba against the flesh and blood king
certainly if you're starting up with god
you want to know why this fatim were
mistaken hashem in the deal because this
was they didn't view what yoshi was
doing just as a fight against
them and against yehuda this was a fight
against god himself so that's
contradicts
[Music]
didn't do a sin because he's just
borrowing
do you know the way the ramban
understands in the world
as a temporary measure at times it's
okay but as a permanent measure of
taking the look and passing down to your
children and so forth that was improper
okay
yeah but certainly if you're rebelling
against god himself now the father
didn't understand that yosef never had
intention to take the maluka for himself
and give it to his children yosef's job
was merely to pave the road for what for
you to take charge
so again who are the two bali dinam here
who are the two bali mahlokas who is
fighting against who it's yosef against
who
yehuda why yehuda because he's the one
who yosef is usurping his melooka
that's who the issue is between it's
between yosef and yehudah yehudah says
i'm the king
they stop it comes from me you have no
right to usurp my melooka
but the shvatim did not understand that
yosef is merely the sod he's merely
paving the way so again we asked why did
the shvatham try to kill yosef
he's murdered
not only is he
that's why the shvatim joined god up
with them we had a question
why are the main balladin yehudah and
yosef because that's what the mahakis is
about who gets the kingdomship who gets
them
another question
why was it necessary for yosef to have
two dreams right he had one dream about
the sheaves and one dream about the
stars the answer is because we said
there are two times in history that
yosef paves the road from
one is when we left mitzrayim preparing
the jewish people for mahaprabhu's david
and one the second dream was for allah
when before malchus based over comes the
world before mashiach comes we have
space we have the we have the um
yosef so the second dream where there
were two dreams about the same episode
josephine king and the triumph one dream
was for mitzrayim one dream was full of
love
says the
you want to know why the torah
interrupts the parasha to tell you in
the middle of yoseph going down to
messiah that yahudah lived with a woman
named tamar
because
when yehuda lived with tamar who was
tamar pregnant with
parrots who did perez who was his son
i remember khatron maybe
and then his son
known as
you have salma you have ovaid you have
yishai you have david
so yehuda living with tamar is bringing
what into the world
maha's best of it so the torah is not
interrupting the parashah
once the torah tells you yosef is in the
trine which means
the yasoda is in place now what are we
ready for now we're ready for malcolm
space david this is not interrupting
it's one indian it's one topic the topic
is we need to bring maha space down into
the world how do we bring it into the
world we bring yosef to mitraim he's
paving the way now we're ready for
yehuda to live with tamar and to produce
malcolm's based on it forgetting the
main things that happened that continues
yeah
which what she did continue
what did she do she went to uh
as they say in in french it takes two to
tango you know
yeah i think it's very important to
consider for the yeah but the
the point is that the episode and tamar
is not a
digression right it's not a it's not
we're not veering off path
continues yeah you no i don't just mean
that the episode
the episode right the middle of the past
is the episode of you then tamara yehuda
lives with tamar tamara is pregnant and
they have the right that the continuity
of mocha please so it's not that the
torah is interrupting the parasha the
torah is telling you the purpose of the
parasha
okay
who's the king
that that's the fight between yehuda and
joseph
didn't understand this idea they just
see yosef he's dreaming about being king
they figure he wants to be king he wants
his children to be king and so forth so
what happens as soon as yosef reveals
himself
even though the day before the shvatim
were having thoughts of regret and they
felt bad that they sold yosef as soon as
joseph reveals himself what does yo say
what do the shuttle want to do they want
to kill why do they want to kill him
very simple the day before they're
probably thinking to themselves we were
wrong about yosef he probably never
wanted to really be the king and you
know what we shouldn't have sold him but
now they meet yosef and joseph says
so to speak right
then of course we have to kill you
then our whole
our whole worry our whole concern has
come true the only reason they regretted
it yesterday is because they thought
yosef didn't really want to be king
become king but now that this guy
standing in the room who's the most
powerful man in the world is yosef
their worst
dream the worst nightmare has come true
yosef taka wants to be king
we gotta kill you so yosef says no no
geshona come close let me reveal to you
the whole plan over here i don't want to
be the king
i'm just paving the way that's what's
the secret that yosef revealed to his
brothers
so this says
there's something an amazing
insight into the whole episode of yehuda
yosef
they wanted to kill him because they
held he was rebelling against yehudah
rebelling against shamayim that's why
they dragged god into it
that's why the torah interrupts the
parish so that yehudah lived with tamar
that's why yosef has two dreams one to
pave the road now one to pray the road
before meshach comes now in parishes
yosef tells the brothers look
god sent me here
ahead of you
for two things
what's a sheiras
to give you a remnant so that you
survive
and for a great salvation
says this is a contradiction and you
know in yeshiva we say obey
the word shairus means what what's the
sha'ers you know you ever go to a rebbe
he gives you sharayam right he eats the
khala eats the fish
and there's a little piece of the little
bone of the herring left he gives it to
you to eat you get the shirayan you get
a little remnant
you take it
however you get right
and then
and then um
then yosef says so god send me here so
that epis you know
something will be left of you
and then joseph says le fleta godola for
a great salvation which one is it does
god want the jewish people to be a
little
or is it for a great salvation it says
it depends when
yahshua had two missions mission number
one is now to pave the road from ah
space david as the jewish people go into
israel that's the sheiras something will
be remain of the jewish people there'll
be a small nation something will remain
but what about
the great mission of yosef the great
mission of yosef is the fleitag that's
in the future that's the muslim because
first we have meshech and yosef
and we'll see you know what you're
talking about before what happens to ms
is going to be most nephesh he's going
to lose his life
in order to pave the road from why does
he have to lose his life life
says the shelah i wasn't going to
mention but you brought up your benevot
that yosef was sinned slightly with your
in the time of iran benavad by taking
over the maluka a little bit too much
for his own selfish purpose in order to
rectify that before mashiach comes
he's going to be most sarinifesh in
order to pave the rope from but that's
just a separate thing okay
we find another instance in tanakh
where something similar to what happened
between yosef and yehudah occurred
rabbi
in the times of hanukkah
the basa mikdash was under attack it was
defiled the
yvonne they destroyed them as baach they
they made them
they made the hobbes
until the vasa mikdash was freed and
sanctified by who
the hashmonan
words
does anybody know what happened to the
family of the kashman
they're eradicated to every last man
every last man right in fact the gamora
vascular tells us
what happened if you look at number six
oh i just want to add one more thing
just a brief uh digression
thought of something very nice
the brothers where did they throw your
safe at first
what did it have in the pit
snakes
so thinking according to what we're
saying the schla it's beautiful why the
brothers threw them into a pit with
snakes if you look in the gemaran
sanhedrin of kofir the gemara says like
this
david anyone who disputes and stands up
deserves to be bitten by a snake
that's what kumar says i don't know you
want me to know that also that's
something
it says that you should be bitten by a
snake anyone who stands up against maha
space david
so perhaps that's why the brothers they
specifically threw itself into the pit
they knew they only wanted to kill him
because he's standing up against maha
space david so what's the most
appropriate nissa for him
the snakes okay back to the kashmir
it has an allegorical meaning but even
the literal there's a reason why we
picked that uh
throw him over there because he said
that
if snake will kiss by them it's because
god god is doing that all right you're
right
kill them so it's not that's god's not
interview hearing them correct
says that the question is that reuben
want to throw them into the snakes to
save him well it has that saving him
says if you put someone into the hands
of a non-baal bahira then it's up to god
if you put them to the hands of about
it's up to the baby
which is one of the most controversial
arachians in all of torah
which is uh at first glance we don't
accept that idea that a person could
kill you even though god doesn't want it
there's an explanation for him but it's
one of the most controversial arachians
okay
that's the simple meaning but to say
that sadiq
allowed personal feelings to affect
their halachic decision
so we try to stay away from those we
don't want to say that that the brothers
allowed personal feelings to uh to
involve it could be
maybe on a very very very subconscious
level but to say that they had just
regular sibling rivalry and jealousy
so
perhaps on a very very deep level that's
true and that's caused them to
brought them to this decision
but
we don't like to just say that you know
yeah the brothers they didn't like yosef
you know they they were jealous of his
power and they didn't like his coat they
wanted the coat to ride the colorful
joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat
right
he's a favorite son
yeah there was there is an element of
that also okay was this called like a
talit
exonus
yeah
it was a uh
yeah
it's a
a colorful garment
okay
what happened to the kashmir
the governor about if you look at number
10 tells us
that hordes herod was a slave
a slave in the kashmir family
he sees a certain girl he has his eyes
on her he wants to live with her
he's walking down the street one day he
hears the basketball he hears a heavenly
voice the heavenly voice says any slave
that rebels today will be successful
herod says today is my day he gets up he
wipes out
all of his masters every last kashmani
now he's after this woman the woman
realizes he's after her she climbs up to
the roof and she makes an announcement
she says
i am the last remaining
hasmonean descendant right i'm the last
remaining
and i'm about to jump off the roof
and any time in the future anyone claims
that they're from the family of the
kashman is a liar it's just a slave a
descendant from herod because i'm the
last one and i'm about to jump off the
roof
she jumps off the roof the gemara says
he preserves her and honey for seven
years some say he lived with her some
say he just claimed that he married the
daughter of the king but in any event
the gemara tells us in baba basra the
hashmonaem suffered a terrible faith
that they had no living descendants can
imagine sadiq
the greatest saddiq of the generation we
have hanukkah today because of them
right when we say
sam
rishon the
right that god delivered the evil in the
hand of the righteous which sadiq we're
talking about
no yeah
okay you had you had mata
you had alexander yanai you had hercules
and aries
but still
to have to have sadikim that god should
eradicate all of their descendants not
one kaju who comes to shalon shabbos
what's uh what's uh new about it jew is
always suffolk yeah but god why would
god why would god allow these sadiq to
to be it's like kharifa riri
rabbi the story that you can say that on
every generation
you have stories you have golem that
none of that they have they have some
descendants that are not show me torah
mitzvos but to have to say that sadiq
has not one living descendant that's a a
very harsh miso we don't find by anybody
else they don't find such a thing says
the ramban in parties
were punished why were they punished
because they took over them
at first they redeemed the base of
mikdash they sanctified it they started
to rule but then you can't rule if
you're not from from yehudah yeah
temporarily shall could borrow the
melooka yosef could pave the way
but to take the meluka and to pass it
down to your child to their children to
their children generation after
generation that is a violation of the
command of yaakov
must
remain in the family of yehuda and
therefore
says ramban
god punished them every last one was
wiped out to a man for violating
in other words what the brothers tried
to do to yosef and what the brothers
were worried yosef was doing
was in reality what the hashmonan did
you know
you said that but there's a very uh
specific historious
fact about the family
in sothan baba kama that talks about how
they surrounded the wall but
nevertheless
to have this sad except for the right
these moms that they don't have one
living descendant that's something you
don't find
went to rome no but they're good no we
do now the gemara says
if the gemara if the gemara says they
were all wiped out they're all right
there
whatever what the hell history went
wrong
can we do questions right now
we'll see if that's that's the verdict
the gemara gives the verdict
is that uh
like that
there's something you don't find by
anybody else you don't find them
anywhere it says ramban that's because
they usurp them
says sam safer yeah
it's not only that they took
the
kingship
but they also already had
the
other throne basically because they were
from the chevy ladies yeah they were the
kohanim but they the issue with them was
let me finish the issue with them was
that they took them that doesn't belong
to them
going back to the beginning of this year
why is there no masak
because in the mishnahs who wrote the
mishnah
nasi was a descendant of david
from sheila yehudah when rabbi nasi led
the jewish people
the ghazal consider that a fulfillment
of
that was the new of yaakov that the
leader of the jewish people has to come
from yehuda rabbi anasi as he's writing
the mishnah is
he does not want to dedicate him
to hanukkah
because
the
even though the kashmir were heroic
and they saved our people and the ramban
says without them the torah would have
been forgotten without them the base
amigos would have been destroyed
nevertheless they acted improperly and
they were left out they were left out
from the mishnah that's what that's what
uh
some say
with foreign
and it's about big a big big big
rebellion against the rome many juvenile
slaughter but they didn't want us for
two peace of their own
that's why they didn't write anything
because they're all approved
that's not a bad reason if you look in
this farmer buddha my goal is he
suggests something like that but the
answer
forgives is that the reason why
the
the chanukah was left out as one of the
masatos is because what the fatim tried
to do to yosef right what was the
accusation against yosef you're safe you
want to be the talmud you're the talmud
you can't be the melech you be the
melech you have to be destroyed
is a not a simple
anyone who tampers with maluka you're
not just tampering with maluka you're
tampering with god that's why the
shvatim joined god into it what the
shwater wanted to do with yosef that is
what happened
to the hashman and says i'm sorry for
that is why rabbi udayanasi ultimately
left
hanukkah out of the mishnah
have a good evening thank you for coming
