Vayigash - 2nd Portion

Join me as we learn together. The kumish for the second day of para sigash Monday para sigash 44:31. Yesterday we learned as Yehuda approaches Yoseph and tells him that he's just like Pharaoh and recounting the story and telling Yoseph that from day one Yoseph had something out against them and hereby you is connected solely within Yakov and thereby he should allow Binyammon to return to his father. Verse 31, the conversation continues with Yehuda and Yosef. Verse 31. And now when when he sees that the lad is not here, he will die. And your servants will have brought your servant, your father, his head down to the grave in grief. Verse 31, why will he die? meaning of when he'll see that there's only one son left from that wife is no longer around that will cause our father to die in grief. Verse 32. Why, you may ask, why am I the one speaking up from all my brothers? So I'll tell you because I your servant has paid as guaranteed for this son for this boy from my father saying if I will not bring him back s to my father for all of days for all of my lifetime. Rashi verse 32. If you may ask, why am I the one arguing with you and being the spokesman more than all my other brothers? Because they're all standing on the outside. However, I have connected myself in a real intense way that I got to keep to my word because if I don't bring him back, I'm going to be banned from both worlds. this world and the world to come. Verse 33. So now please now please let your servant remain here as a slave. I will stay as a slave as a slave to master and let this lad let this young boy go up to his father. Verse 33. better take me for I am better than him in all aspects. If you're looking for a slave in all things I am better than him. He says I'm stronger than him. I'm better at warish and to serve you. So why take him? He's a young kid. Take me. I'm stronger. I'm better at all these things. And let Byam go back up. Verse 45. after Yehuda pledging and saying how he was the one to stand up for his brother at this point the ver chapter 45 begins where Ysef couldn't not bear to have his brothers shamed in front of the people that were standing there called take out everybody remove all the people that were standing there leave my presence there was no one standing with when made himself known to his brothers verse one meaning he couldn't tolerate he didn't like that the Egyptians should be there standing and hearing that his brothers are embarrassed when he lets them know who he is what caused that this triggered Yseph that he should all of a sudden tell them who he is and the commentary explain has brought in is because Yseph wanted to bring his brothers to Chuva. And the only way they would be at Chuva is if they come back to the exact same Chuva means you have to be at the exact same position and not do the sin. So until captive, they still didn't have that proof that they would do anything in the world to save their brother. The moment Byam was taken captive and Yehuda said, "I will go in hisstead. Let my brother go." Or the very fact that he said that he guaranteed for his brother that automatically showed Yoseph they full fully did Chuva and now he can let them know who he is. As well as this brought about the ultimate akas, the ultimate unity. What brought about the selling of Yoseph was the discord between the two brothers. The very fact that they now are willing to give each other on the line to protect one another. He saw the unity amongst them and that was the most beautiful thing that he was ready to identify who he was. Verse number two and he gave and he started he broke out in a loud weeping and the Egyptians heard par and was heard in the house of par as well what does mean the house of par meaning the family of parad of his servants and the people of his family this doesn't mean the actual house itself like you know the house of Israel, the house of Judea. It means his family. What's going on here? Verse number three said to his brothers, I am my father still alive. However, is his brother were not able to answer him because they were disconnected. They were embarrassed before him. Why were they Abusha? Why were they so bewildered? Because they were embarrassed, Rashi says, of the very fact what they have done to him. And now he today is the viceroy of Egypt and they haven't seen him for the past 22 years. Verse four said to his brothers, "Please come close to me." And they came close and he said, "I am your brother. You sold me into slavery into Egypt. He saw that they were taking a step back and they couldn't stand right before him because of such embarrassment. Omar said in his heart, "Now my brothers are embarrassed." Therefore, and he called them in a soft and pleading tone, show him. He showed that he is circumcised. So, they should prove that he's one of them. Even though, yes, you sold me down to Egypt, there's no reason for you to please. Don't be distressed and don't reproach yourselves that you sold me here. Why? Because God had a different plan. God sent me her that you I should be able to provide for your needs ahead of you. Verse five, Rashi explains that you should be able to have food when you come here that I should be able to provide you with the food that you need when you come to Egypt. Verse six, because it is only two years into the hunger. It's amongst the land. There's going to be another five years of this that there will not be any plowing or reaping. Only two out of seven years of famine have already passed and there's another five years to come. Verse seven, and God sent me before you that I should give you that to ensure that you survive in the land and to sustain you and to act for you as the great deliverance. So therefore, don't hesitate and recognize that this was all pre-ordained that I should be here today. This concludes the Torah reading for Monday, the second Torah reading of parasash.
