Hashems message to Yaakov is a message pertinent to us. Yehuda serves as an example of what can happen when we stand up for what's right in face of anything.

this is not cool
[Music]
jacob jacob's sons
are in egypt and little do they know
their long lost brother joe seth
i thought it would be cute to do that
rhyme
but judging by your face i should not
have done that
little do they know their long-lost
brother jasef is
the viceroy the very man who has been
supplying
them and many others with food
throughout this international famine
last time they came for food this
viceroy tells them that they have to
bring their little brother benjamin
benjamin along with them next time they
come
and they brought benjamin and after a
few strange occurrences
this viceroy guy who's also powerful
decides that benjamin
decides that benjamin the youngest
brother is not
going to return to his father but he's
going to remain with him in egypt
as his slave i'mma keep him well
i mean he framed him for stealing and
stuff like that but
that's the idea this is not cool
and one of the brothers yahooda
approaches this
viceroy man and says hey yo
you think you're gonna keep benjamin i
got news for you
no not happening bro and then yosef was
like
well i've got news for you i am your bro
and then everyone was like whoa
whoa yoho
seth it's really you i did it again
make a long story short because you're
probably already familiar with it yosef
brings his entire extended family
down to egypt thus setting in motion
the egyptian exile and eventual slavery
in egypt
jason's father although of course excite
exhilarated
to see his son whom he presumed to be
dead
for 22 years felt pained that he would
be leaving the future land of israel a
holy land
for the land of egypt which was a very
not holy land to put it nicely so hashem
appeared to jacob and said do not fear
going down to egypt hashem didn't ease
yaakov's pain or comfort him in his
distress
because the pain and the distress the
anguish that he felt over leaving a holy
place for an unholy place
going into exile essentially is actually
a positive thing
and is actually constructive but hashem
tells him not to fear
we too in godless and exile
can and should feel the pain that we are
out of our true home out of our natural
habitat
all of us jews together in the land of
israel serving god
we're scattered across the earth and
there are
obstacles in the way of serving god
but we mustn't fear those obstacles we
must realize we can
jump over them plow through them we can
reveal that those obstacles are really
only
there to help us move forward to bring
us
to the land of israel and to accelerate
the complete and final redemption
so as jake was told we mustn't be afraid
and we must be like yehudah even in face
of a foe
stand up for what's right and true even
though we don't see the revelation of
mashiach
as of the making of this video we have
to live in mashiach mode
increase in joy increase in love
increase in study of torah do another
mitzvah
and like yehuda may we immediately see
that what we thought to be a foe was
really our own brother
moshiach now
