so Yaakov Yaakov sees that we'd spoke
about how Yaakov sees that there's hope
he senses that there's some sort of hope
in Egypt on page 2 to 30 to top of page
232 they are Yaakov Kia chevre Burmese
I'm Yakko sees that there are provisions
the art-school translators provisions in
in in me trying and Yaakov senses that
this is where his
deliverance is going to be from from his
his life full of grief so he decides to
send the brothers down sends the
brothers down to Egypt but he doesn't
send Binyam and with he doesn't send me
to my Yemen with take a look at public
dollars there's been yummy and I feel
safe with young man yo saves a brother
that means as his brother for brothel as
opposed to the brother from another
mother this is his brother or this is
his brother from his firm it's the same
mother
Lucia Yaakov as if he did not send Ben
Yemen with key I'm our penny Kareem to
us and he said boy if I send them with
maybe a tragedy will take place Yaakov
says I can't son Ben Yemen with coz
maybe a tragedy will take place so maybe
a disaster the article translates as a
disaster may be a disaster will happen
so broscius what do you mean well maybe
a disaster everything around the way to
Egypt and forget your can there be any
disaster near to Sorella what about what
about over here it brings us an
interesting subject so rachie says
because the Sultan is mccottry DeShazo
Saguna the satan prosecutes during a
time of danger he prosecutor that means
there are certain things that are
considered inherently dangerous in life
the you Mars's travel is inherent
there's an inherent danger in traveling
either the either they've travel so in
travels by sea travels by desert there's
the danger of highwayman robbers
somebody costing him and certainly in in
in the ancient world where you had large
patches large stretches of uninhabited
land that people travel there's
lawlessness that's why the old days they
call it the Wild West many Americans
were settling the West there's there
there's very little law and order so
there's an inherent danger in travel
travels because their travel brings a
danger with it you know that the or says
that the warthogs are different
professionally or says merchants see
merchants for the most part are
righteous
what you see see merchants you know we
don't think that we think about your
drunken guys you know you know while
they're raising the masks you know says
that merchants are ice upon him Ruben I
see them most of them are Hassidim
because it doesn't mean they're worse
trammels they would blow off into the
sea I said it means pious the rubra the
the cuts up on him for the most part
price you know why
what's the danger
you're off at sea they're often see so
they're always they're always praying
they're very connected to God they're
great sources I'm you saying it's a joke
versus you're very often see also
there's a there's a storm at sea and the
I once read do you know how many sea
vehicles you see vessel sorry sea
vessels they estimate since the
beginning time to be the bottom of the
ocean the various seas and oceans in the
world how many sea vessels seafaring
vessels are due the estimate to have
sunk since the beginning of sea travel I
think a wild guess
3 million 3 million I guess I guess
since autumn hurry Sean I'm not sure I'm
not sure who the first sea traveler was
it wasn't Columbus they were traveling
before Columbus but they estimated 3
million okay there may include you know
canoes out in the island somewhere but
they're a massive amount because it was
a dangerous profession the sea starts to
get stormy and people are lost at sea
their shipwrecks all the time that sort
of thing so so when a person's in a
situation of danger there's a special
prosecution against them it means if he
be in a normal circumstance he's safe
he's at home there then then there's one
sort of way that that God relates them a
certain way for lack of a better term
when he puts himself in a situation of
danger so there's a special key trick
now we are not allowed to put ourselves
in danger for no reason the president
certainly not allowed to put himself in
a state of fool in a foolish state of
danger just for just for the sake of
danger we're there the prohibits
dangerous activities I like I says
you're not allowed to do something which
is carries an imminent life threat or an
imminent danger of serious injury
there are those how logical thirties who
there are hollow healers they the
downhill skiing is prohibited because of
the danger of imminent death which
happens or break I don't say everybody
agrees with that but I'm just telling
you where this could where this could uh
where the certainly automobile racing
auto racing or anything that carries an
imminent imminent danger
at least a high percentage a reasonable
percentage of death or serious injury
would be prohibited according to a llaha
there is an exception that a person was
allowed to do something for the sake of
Pernod so for the sake of Pernod versus
not engage in an activity which I
wouldn't call dangerous as much as it
carries an element of danger if one is
not careful so for example could you
become
an electrician or a lineman you know the
guys who work alone I don't mean a
football linemen that's really dangerous
I know but being an ax an electric
lineman you know where you're working on
line with high-voltage electricity if
you're careful and you're cautious so
then you should be okay nothing you know
you if you're a painter and you're up on
a ladder you should be okay if you're
involved in construction you should be
okay if you cook if you're if you don't
do anything silly and you take the
proper precautions you should be okay
now excellence could happen and things
could happen but it's that that
somebody's I know I wouldn't look at it
as saying a guy's an electrician if you
get electrocuted much more dangerous
being electrician to being a plumber I
don't know any plumbers who have fixed
the kitchen sink and we're suddenly
drowned I've ever there are electricians
well have you've been electrocuted that
does happen now does that mean it's a
dangerous profession I wouldn't say it's
a dangerous promotion much as a
profession that carries with it an
element of danger if you're not careful
so the Holika says that for the sake of
pernessa you are allowed to be engaged
in such a profession I remember in
Chicago there was a guy working on the
and the
on the train track on the website called
the the the L in Chicago Chicago we
don't have a subway there's no they I
think it and then the south side maybe
it does but on the north side it's
called the Ellis Island or elevated
platform and there's a third rail the
electric rail
now you're there I said there you know
don't don't touch the third rail so
there was an incident in Chicago or one
of the guys working on the on the on the
L where I'm page 232 Mike
there was a guy in Chicago was working
in and the L on the El platform and he
bent over one of the workers let me work
is he bent over he was wearing a gold
pendant he bent over it as he bent over
the pendants warming out and hit the
third rail right so that could happen
you know that you know things like that
can happen but that doesn't mean it's
prohibited according to halakha be
careful be careful so that it doesn't
happen to you that's a lot but to go and
engage in a foolish activity which is
it's prohibited according ilaaha but
person puts himself in a situation of
danger then he can't turn around and
blame God hey God why did you do this to
me now you put yourself in a situation
of danger what you're in a situation of
danger there's a different way that God
relates to a person it activates a
certain meter a certain TRIZ a strict
justice so Yaakov Ito says I'm not
sending Ben Ellman with you I don't want
to send Ben Yemen with you because I
maybe something's gonna happen on the
way down to me it's right okay so they
come to Egypt and Yosef is the Joseph is
in charge and then in plus Exide four
lines from the bottom of page 232 by er
Yosef SLV akhirin Yosef sees his
brothers and he recognizes up now this
happens in life all the time
when you see a group of people you can
start making our faces I've seen I've
been involved I've been at reunions have
been in situation I haven't seen people
for 20 30 years just happened to me
recently I saw some Ann's in 30 years
and you just don't recognize him but
when you see somebody else next to then
you can start figuring out who must be
whom over here and you haven't seen
people others example to me numerous
times and in Yosef sees his Brotherhood
hope 10 of them they're in Egypt Egypt
is a more we find Rashi and bere sh'zazz
in Egypt they were a they were actually
black in Egypt these are black Egyptian
sauce on some 10 white guys all tall
good-looking white guys come walking in
so yes a recognizes them by East not
care I'll lay him he makes himself
strange to them via dabber eaten kosher
he speaks harshly with them well you
know where I'll land me I in Busta
where'd you come from well yome roommate
Eretz cannot aliciarojo we came for
landing on to get food now ya'll say if
it put out feelers for this he'll say if
it said out the mentor says they did set
out if you ever see ten guys coming in
through any gate he anticipated they'd
be coming down it's all haben admit land
like egypt how does he happen to find
these ten guys he put out feelers and
listen as he heard that these Hebrews
from the land of Canaan are coming let
me know I want to meet these guys so
they bring them over to yo say no the
next posting look at the bottom line by
yak Yosef is a hug you okay they've
recognized his brothers they aim low he
kiru they did not recognize him you'll
see if recognizes brother they do not
recognize him now why didn't they
recognize him
one of Rashi says cuz he now he has a
beard when they left home they all had
beards but he didn't he was only 17 and
also Neelix got a beard so didn't
recognize him other commentaries say
well he you know between the beard and
the Egypt headdress you know they're
basically seeing of seeing a pair of
eyes
but but even more than that even were
that the last thing in the world you're
expecting is that this is your brother
so last thing in the world you're
expected this is actually your brother I
mean you're just not expecting that they
the brother who you sold the last time
you saw him he was a slave begging you
sold him into slavery he was begging for
his life and you anticipated that you
got and I'm saying you're saying in
front of it means the ruler of Egypt it
just does that make sense it's not it
just doesn't it just does that make
sense
then in a deeper level what does it
really mean heõs they've recognized his
brothers but they didn't recognize him
that means what you'll save recognizes
his brothers and he's gonna have mercy
on them he's playing this out for their
benefit they blow he Kira they didn't
recognize him as a brother when they
sold him that means they they didn't see
he sees them as his brothers they didn't
see him as a brother they didn't treat
him the way you should treat your
brother they sold him there's a Yaqui oh
yes he does I have named lo he guru now
look what y'all save does buy you score
yo see if it's like how long was I sure
call on line yes every members of dreams
and then look at the connection yes he
remembers a dream so what does he do but
yo Burrell a mere a gleam on time your
spies LaRosa's air or it's bustin you've
come to see the vulnerability of land
first thing his brothers your spice
you've come to check out the
vulnerability of the land Ian the bender
says they came in at ten different ten
different gates for whatever it is this
is first accusation why does he do that
why is it the first accusation towards
an brothers your spies
what which specific decides are very
good which specific defensive doesn't
put them out
okay and therefore what
yes once you're in what you're accused
of being a spy so the last thing you're
gonna do is anything that is spy like
I'm sure when you were in high school
Justin and others I'm sure where the
teacher said something like if I see
anything gets thrown from that corner of
the room I'm assuming it's you and then
you just sit there you know you sit
there like a boy scout for the next hour
because you know that you can't if you
move you're cooked if you know you if
you're moved there certain people myself
included who when there was trouble
somehow the accusation always came to me
I'm sitting next to the goofy is the
next to the good guys in class there's
there's trouble well why me why are you
coming to me well you got a track record
so so so so yoseef says you know the
minute you're under the gun the minute
you're under the gun you're gonna be on
your best behavior especially where
you're safe doesn't want them snooping
around and blowing his cover and so so
what's gonna happen is they're gonna go
over to it some guys say hey how long
how long has this guy been the ruler
over here all they got to do guy say hey
by the way ruler they've been asking
about you oh I said you're spies you see
that pulls the rug out from under the
car under their under their feet right
away now I'll tell you that incredible
incredible measures the Midrash says
what does the word irva really mean what
is the word here of I mean literally
airball everybody don't have you ever
the idea air but air but means nakedness
naked this so when it says they came to
see the nakedness of the land when a
person's naked that means he's
vulnerable so the Torah uses that as
voted he says your spies house they are
to you to see the lands nakedness you've
got what does that mean
Fuller boys right why does it our
nakedness so what idea here is one idea
that all the cabin they say is that that
at a deeper level
you had to two major sins you have the
sin of idol worship in the sin of
immorality
the source or the
the root of all immorality in the world
was Egypt it was incredibly immoral
country and every what's called Orvis or
it's it's the nakedness of the land it's
the nakedness of the earth Egypt was a
land of immorality
that doesn't mean it was the only place
of immorality Egypt was let's say the
San Francisco of the day right you is
it's the source of our it's the it's the
the Amsterdam of the day it's the source
of the morality in the world it's a root
of immorality
idol worship which land is the land of
the root of idol worship is the land of
Kanaan now there was immorality in town
and there was idol worship in Egypt but
the one that's really the power source
of this energy in the world Egypt is the
power source of idol of immorality
Kannamma is the power source of idol
worship you're something in the word
canon the word land of canaan which is
we're in Ayres Canal where's that land
of Canaan I mean there's no exit katanas
one of the sons of he's a grandson of
not but what does that mean Eretz Canaan
the Hebrew word cannon is related to the
Hebrew word ha ha it's the same root no
no I in Ha Na Kehna and hath knock off
none ayan is the root none means
submission
it's the land of submission if
submission is channeled properly in
Israel who do we submit to
submit to God if you miss channel that
that the trait of submission so you're
gonna submit who do you submit to you
submit to idols so the land of Canaan
was the land why is it why is it that
we're if you walk into the old city in
in an area maybe in a square mile of the
old city you'll probably find every
major religion in the world represented
there right Islam Judaism
okay got Christianity he got a Russian
Orthodox he got Greek Orthodox he got
Roman Catholic he got what did he call
the Armenians every every religion in
the world there's no coincidence that he
get all these religions somehow
gravitates you to teach you your silane
they grab it like to the land of command
it's a land that lends itself to
submission submission like anything else
any trait in the world if Trent if you
know traits are something that we have
it's only a question of how you channel
a trait what's the stereotype of Jews in
the world
well we're allowed to say cuz we're
Jewish you know and every time you're
that group you could talk about yourself
what is what is the stereotype of Jews
how does the world see us smart for sure
we are right
we're what we're bookish and we're by
Shirley right we're the book people it
reminds them yeah we weren't the money
why does the world see us that way
because we are
we are you know banking a finance of
saving yeah Jews are into money Jews
aren't the money no when just get money
what do they do with I had a kid here
once a nurse's math I was talking about
his future I said well you know do your
parents have money too I think he wanted
to go to school I said are you gonna pay
for it I said how you paranoid want to
go to businesses are you gonna set up in
it I said do your parents have money
does VA says listen they're Jewish
there's always a savings account
somewhere you
know oh yeah you know Uncle Harry set us
up with something there's always a
savings account Jews save their money
what do guys in the NBA do let's focus
on saving right Jews are always Jews are
always saving their money are we saving
their money so why are you saving my
tastes are they very deep why are you
save Jews save where I save you why do
we save you see there's a trait that we
have we have a trait our trait is to be
focused on the future we're focused on
the future
if channeled properly which future
should we be focused on the world to
come if slightly miss channeled it's the
same energy as the exact same energy
where do we channel it we channel it
into this world but what's always a
focus on the future in this world we
save for something that's coming later
it's the same energy
a Jew is focused it's always gonna be
the same interview what's the stereotype
of Jewish mothers
God you could say
overbearing pushing the pushy Jewish
mother now they don't have to even be
annoying about it they could do it in a
very subtle way can be a guilt trip you
look very few Jewish mothers push their
sons to be truck drivers you ever notice
that you're gonna be a truck driver one
day it doesn't work that way it's
usually either a professional symbol is
that true you're going to be either a
dentist or a doctor or a lawyer did the
evidence
or an accountant and no way a truck
driver that is the Jewish mother no
that's an energy that she has there's an
energy to the story the Jewish woman is
walking with her two kids little kids
though she says hey guys hi ma'am how
old are your children she does well the
lawyers fives of doctors three that's
the Jewish mother there's no question
about it now what is that energy really
meant to be used for it's been two boys
Jewish mothers are gonna one way or
another they gonna push they're going to
push at the time of sorry may no they're
gonna push they're meant to push their
menfolk into achieving in the spiritual
realm Torah become a Thomas Holcomb
study Torah do mitzvahs get up for
minion they're meant to push one way or
another they're gonna push if they don't
push this way they're gonna push you the
other way why is it that Jewish parents
are always so focused on education get a
kid I've met kids who fathers fathers
have businesses they're ready to the
father could retire 20 times over kid is
20 years old he could step right into
Tottie's business you know have to be a
genius to sell shoes he gets all right
into the step writing the business run
the whole business where is he he's
going to college why I have to get an
education sure it's like you said user
Jews are into the books if you channel
the energy properly which books is it
gonna be it's the ones that read right
to left if you miss channel the energy
so it's gonna go left to right doesn't
mean you shouldn't get an education it
doesn't mean it's sometimes you don't
need college for the sake of getting
your degree you don't need college for
the education though we have an
education we know what our education has
meant to be it's always going to be the
same chair the same energy it's going to
come out one way or another it's going
to come out okay so
the the energy and aerosol is the energy
of Hucknall submission one way or
another in Israel you're going to submit
why is it it's no coincidence the Bulge
of a movement began in Israel didn't
begin anywhere else why did it begin in
Israel after 73 were desert about
children people Jews we're coming back
to their roots in Israel long before and
much longer then it caught on and it
spread to outside it secured our
outreach organizations were you know why
did it begin in Israel with such a rush
it's a land that lends itself to
submission it's a land that levels of
the purpose in searching that's the land
of connect Egypt is called an air vessel
arts it's the land of immorality yoseef
says lyricist Airbus words mustn't know
this is really magnificent there's a
meddra it says the brothers came down to
Egypt and they were planning they had
regretted what they did they're planning
on finding Yosef and even says they came
down to kill or be killed but one way or
another we're taking us safe out here
we're going to do everything if it means
dying we're gonna die for the cause of
getting you a safe out they said Oh save
off
good-looking boy beautiful beautiful boy
business Poti fire has a crush on him
everybody beautiful guy so they come to
Egypt where do you think a guy like that
would probably if he's still alive where
would he end up
was that in a brothel right exactly the
bendrix says they actually went to the
red-light district they went searching
in the red-light district for Yosef and
that's where they were found that's
where they were found now do you know
according to in world history the world
history where did spies often go
you know anything about French history
where did spy spy
they would go to the brothels because
because the the
right they figured they would get
information from the ladies because the
ladies were involved with and sometimes
a lady served as spies and they would go
to the red-light district because
sometimes high government officials to
spend time with the with the with the
with with the workers the customers
sometimes gave over government secrets
so a spy would go over and speak to the
ladies and maybe pay them whatever it
was in order to get to get the
information so now this is how this
works out so nicely
you'll see says that her brothers your
spies and I can prove it to you leo says
service or it's busted you came to see
the nakedness of the lane yeah I caught
you at a red light district what were
you doing there you were there naked
your spices or spies go all the time
that's a yes its underlying yet no no no
no and now he pulls the rug out from
under them no they can't go around
asking questions anymore now you all
safe plays out this entire thing what is
the entire purpose what's the entire
purpose of this entire charade what did
yo save wanted to do and that's a
creative situation where there's going
to be a fulfillment of the dreams so but
more than that what does Yosef want them
to do
music once they hear it and their part
there's regret there's remorse for what
they've done yo say it says listen
you're not leaving until you bring your
younger brother down here and then he
says the following this is a puzzle
69 lines from the bottom
eight lines in the battle show who beat
chemical send one home the e kakizaki
chem you know bring your brother the at
em hey uh sir the rest of you will be in
prison you'll be kept in prison here the
Mahanadi break a Miami system you're
telling me the story you got a younger
brother at home let's see if you're
telling the truth so send one brother
home the rest of you going into prison
I'm locking you up till he comes back
the email oh if not I pyro keep bragging
of them then hey pyro by life of pyro I
swear you our spice now go down to verse
and then what is yours they say in
Canaan at em if you are truthful
IDL survivors write him one of you will
be locked up keep him as what's it
called that ransom what's it called a
collateral I keep one of those
collateral there are ten look who love
you Sheva album go take him what's the
call there's another word we take a
hostage I think one of them hostage and
the rest of you go home so what does he
uh safe do within three pursuit could he
changes from you'll all be locked up and
one will go home and he says you know
what one of you will be locked up all of
you go home why does they've do that
now we do save to the think to yourself
here yo safe what do you also do that
trying to make it easier for the
brothers what's he trying to do
show them
yeah yeah but he they also they call
convinced a father okay okay could be
good me okay you'll say you'll say oh
very good usually the commentary say ECL
so he wants to show them you can admit
you could change your mind unless you
couldn't make your made a mistake you
know I thought that I would lock up all
of you you know I even I who am an
emperor I'm a king I'm a Viceroy in
Egypt I can make mistake I'm not I'm not
I'm not infallible you know I thought
that was a good idea I changed my mind
I'll only keep you one of you here this
is all to soften them up to get to a
point where they'll be able to then
admit you know oh you know what maybe we
shouldn't have done that so he also
sends them off and
on the way home
he fills there he does this whole thing
to frame them you know
what do you call it the he puts their
money he puts their money in their sex
now this is a very interesting insight
in human nature what are they one of the
commentary says like this I'm paid to 36
they're on their way home and then valve
taka Akkad s Sacco one of them opens up
his sack las seis Obispo laka Marber Mon
to feed the donkey in their hostel where
this thing at the hostel he takes out

frame-up but Yates say leave Bombay

kimono what is God done to us what is
God doing to us so they're nervous and
then they go home and open up their sex
they see the Mormon everybody's got

would your reaction be if you bought a
product if you bought a new washing
machine

box you saw that all the cash you paid
for it was back in the washing machine
who made a mistake I mean if my first
reaction is oh good money money makes me
smile first my first oh good maybe I'd
give it back maybe I wouldn't give it
back I'd start thinking about what the
halacha is what the hell laka says do I
have to give it back you might am i
obligated to give it okay could be but
first thing is hey hey money hey money
who Rosie you know what we got our money
something good happen oh oh there's our
reaction in life is when something good
happens yeah yeah something good yeah
how do you know it's good for you
there's an expiry of ursa it says oh
sure genre the Battle of the row so
wealth can be maintained for a wealthy
man for his downfall I know two wealthy
men and of two cases of two wealthy men
probably more one in Chicago one in
Mexico two very wealthy Jews one hand in
private plate the one had a private was
in a private helicopter and both of them
were killed when they're in their
vehicles when the wealthiest man in
Mexico wealthiest from man and melted
Mexico was killed with his wife and a
son and a daughter in law in the
helicopter and I managed your cargo who
is wealthy man he had a head a what he
called AE at a private plane he was
killed with three grandchildren in a
plate a friend of our families three
years ago and I remember thinking you

blessing that you got is so good for you
maybe this is the blessing that's gonna
destroy you how many people I know got
divorced because they made a lot of
money people who were happy people they
ended up getting the word they made a
lot of money they just freaked out
because of the money the husband's
usually the husband fault always the
husband for you got all the way just to
not handle it he just ruined him Fred
you remember Freddie Prinze you remember
Freddie ever hearing Freddie Prinze with
Chico and the man on TV it was he
Freddie prisoners was it was argued
Chicot in the man it was like there was
beck anemic in the 70s Freddie Prinze
was arguably the funniest guy that I've
ever seen on TV other than Robin
Williams as far as as far as improv are
you very prison was 21 years old he was
good-looking heba's on The Tonight Show
he had his own show it was doing great
no one's really Freddie Prinze killed
the committed suicide and he left the
suicide notes the notes that I couldn't
he boy it became a catchphrase am i me
and my friends well we were earning
minimum wage working a job loading boxes
on a truck we look at each other I
couldn't handle it right and everybody
says you know bring it bring it bring it
bring I'll handle it I'll handle it you
see these people are thinking a handle
it wouldn't be wouldn't been you know so
why is he committed suicide because you
don't know you look at the blessing
sometimes it is a blessing sometimes
it's a very big blessing I don't say no
but they're telling you keep it in the
perspective we found money oh hey what
is this gonna do to me now what is this
money gonna do how many families have
broken up many families have broken up
specifically when they came to money
they broke up you don't make families
have been closed the father the
patriarch of the family dies and then
the inheritance fights and people stop
talking to each other for us their life
you how often in heaven after they
happen because something good happened
how are you how we're gonna divide up
the pike do you know my mother-in-law
and I once in Columbia are in Ohio we're
staying in Columbus and they had their
house state lottery they have like that
Powerball so I think was about 80
million dollars
so my mother-in-law and I decided we're
gonna go buy a ticket together all right
we made sure my wife didn't find out
because she wouldn't let us buy a ticket
so she's okay dumping you go out and buy
a ticket when my wife was Russians go
out and buy us to take it we'll split it
so I said they're okay how are we two
million dollars like yeah I said how are
we gonna split it she said what was
split it five ways because it was three
ways because she's got three children
and she got to buy me I got two
brother-in-law's and my wife said we'll
split it three ways I said uh-uh we're
splitting it two ways you know you do
what you want with your half I'll do it
or invite him we already fought over the
80 million dollars that we never had so
I never bought the ticket right because
and there's somebody out there with my
40 million dollars right now could you
imagine okay so we we thought we had we
couldn't even agree how to split it we
didn't have the money can you imagine
what happened if you had the money so
that's about the tourist I keep it in a
proper perspective that's a tourist
teaching it okay now take a look there's
another life fundamental over here
they go back and forth then they come
back to Egypt and at a certain point
they find skip on ahead and
they start wondering why is this
happening biyo Boresha look they sent
each other a volley Shamy Mahakala we
are guilty Allah he know I share a note
Sura snaf show beasts on an orally no we
are guilty regarding our brother they're
talking to each other now we're guilty
regarding our brother when he pleaded we
saw his distress when he pleaded Veloz
shimano alkane bah Elena rots Arles
that's why we're suffering right now
we're suffering right now because we
were told we saw her brother pleading
for his life and we didn't have mercy on
it say commentary say the commentaries
say
they didn't say we did wrong you know
they didn't around say you know what we
made a mistake we should have never sold
it it's not what they said they didn't
say we you know what we got this you
know why we're suffering now we're
suffering now with this these obvious
these trumped-up charges we're suffering
now because we sold our brother when
they have been the logical thing to say
that what they said they never admitted
what we did wrong they said we're
suffering now because we saw him
pleading for his life and we didn't have
mercy that means there are two things in
life there two there are two levels of
mistake there's an inherent mistake I
judged wrong I made it I made a mistake
in my judgment there's a second level of
mistake I judged correctly I judged
correctly
but you pleaded that's a new level it's
one thing that if a person I you know I
punish you guy says ok he goes off to
prison in Judaism when a person begs and
pleads we're meant to activate it
doesn't mean to be foolish it doesn't
mean just a free a guy who was murdered
and that sort of thing but there is
another level of consideration when
somebody is begging somebody's begging
so we've had this we've had this in your
Shiva I've been initiative where boys
have to be expelled for for doing things
that are simply not acceptable in each
ship and they brew another boy there are
situation we just have this to the other
each of there's a boy who the entire
administration agreed this boy has to go
boy yes yes the best to be expelled from
the issue that's unfortunate you know
the famous story about a boy who did
something wrong in you Shiva so the
receiver says we have to expel them from
the issue of it so the mother comes to
the Russia ship and she starts crying
Jesus please keep my son Indonesia if
you send them out each other who knows
what's gonna happen is was gonna go and
Shiva maintained his should maintain the
stands he wouldn't he wouldn't Bend so
they came to him they said how could you
how could he turn down a Jewish mother
who's begging and crying their son
should be kept in the issue of it so he
says because I pictured the other 200
Jewish mothers who would be crying if
his son did stay in the issue
that's a difficult thing to the side
it's a very difficult thing to the side
but we just had a boy in are you Shiva
who for whatever reason was that fitting
in the administration had decided yes to
leave and I came back to Jimmy still
there so I said to one of the I said to
one of the other teachers or the why is
why he's blown he's still here is that
he begged you begged that's if it when
you beg you show you cared you begged we
have to activate a certain a certain a
mercy for somebody who's begging and
pleading so yes a brother said yeah
we're guilty we did run we're guilty on
the other hand on the other hand were
were it you know which we should have
bent a little bit once we see him
plating how could did you turn down
somebody who's crying now this applies
in other areas of life by the way waiter
they're there in Jewish in court in
Israeli secular law by the way you have
to show remorse in court if you show
remorse I think it works in American
courts also if you show remorse for your
crimes they they go there they're more
lenient on you which I never understood
because anybody could fake remorse but
being that Israel is with Jews and Jews
won't show remorse unless you're really
remorseful you know so they get a look
at a Jewish guy who eyes who shoots up a
bunch of Arabs and they'll take in the
court you know and as they as they okay
are you remorseful I'm not remorseful at
all I just wish it was more of it you
know and oh they'll totally you know
they won't they won't Bend an inch how
long could recognize it I love to
recognize that person is remorseful
person certainly he's begging and
pleading for mercy then we're supposed
to activate a certain degree of mercy
now the parsha ends this is where we're
gonna pick it up tomorrow so show the
parsha ends with yo safe again frames
them by putting his goblet in Benjamin's
binyamin's what do you call it he puts
the goblet in minions bag and the

you had his line when he says the others
line is listen the law is if you catch
one guy with illegal contraband catch
one thief with something that he stole
everybody in the room is guilty there's
a law if you're in the same room as the
guy who stole or the same car so this
guy's a car who's got drugs and you're
in the car with the guy who's got drugs
