MIN TORAH PORTION - PARASHAT MIKETZ שיעור פרשת השבוע מקץ — 20

are in quad now huh yes yes where it's fighting it's fun in the old city here i will show you now this beautiful view um we're here just across that he's the writer of the zohar 2000 years ago um yeah it's a very very spiritual city it's uh it's actually the city i was born in um and this is a place um of our family and we're going to perform now you know inside here maybe you could see don over here wow eleazar show me this place i i think i i must see wow wow we're just now starting the festival here yes so here we are yes yeah yeah yeah yeah waiting for you over here huh you see a nice nice vibe nice you know it's it's related just to our portion you know because yourself he's a dreamer okay he always streams now you could see something beautiful and then in hebrew yes you know if you want to say the story first but we could say you know very simple you know i'm sure you spoke last week about the dreams that joseph went through uh with his own dreams and now and now we're solving dreams of others right it was already from the end of the persian and that's how parallel um with his own dream you know gets to get gets to yourself and and from there yourself gets to to the kingdom to the to the highest position but we see something about a dreamer about dreams you know in hebrew the the word he dreamer or dreams or a person that dreams is as you write so the same letters of khalim it's also the letters of luchem and the same letters all right as a dreamer exactly and the same letters are a person that forgives yes and the same letters is also home as a person that has compassion so we see over here but what is the whole thing of dreams first of all have the true dream and you need to fight for it but fight for it not with others to fight without to to to to demand the maximum from ourselves and and from there we know need to know how to be people that forgive mohail we need to know how to be people that really forgive that we and our heart is clean because then if our heart is not clean if we get involved it happens a lot of people before the true time we get we get stressed and then we do then we then we do damage to ourselves so that's why when we get to through time we need to know how to be with a healthy heart with a heart that forgives and that that's muhil and then we get to the highest place and this is the place that god created us with and wakes us every morning up with with him with compassion we thank god for waking us up i'm writing i'm writing it in the chat so it's lochen it's the fighter it's a dreamer dreamer you can you can see it on the chat all right and you say wow it's hard okay i will try i hope that i wrote it but but but again the order is very important it's first of all first of all dream and then it's knowing how to forgive and then it's compassion because this is the purpose of our dreams to have compassion we want to be people of compassion that's what we want to be it's not about a position oh so what would happen when you get to the top of the ladder oh i would be i would be a good person so this is exactly the dream let's be good people and and and and and and we could see that all of this what is the source of the letters this is the basics of humanity we all need to be dreamers but true dreamers because dreams they allow us to believe to our emotional world so so we are talking about dreams because um in our portion we see that uh joseph is is in uh in egypt he have a hard time in egypt with the potiphar the the minister of uh of paolo and with his wife we talked about it last week uh and then he is because that the wife of potiphar is lying about him and tried to do a lot of things he find himself in the jail so now he's in the jail and he's uh i'm i i must say that he's uh very special he's very special joseph he's walking in the jail and he's like asking people what's happened to you why are you sad but he's in the jail too he's not from the management of the of the jail is uh um it's with them and he's asking people how are you why are you sad and then uh emit the ministers two ministers of uh one is the charge of um how is the tricks or the gender one the bakeries and one is about drinks and and this moment when he when he asking them uh how are you and why you said it's a very important moment i will talk about it uh soon and you i will explain why i think it's a very important moment that uh can explain money for us a lot about who was joseph and he uh solved the dreams they told they telling him that paul put him in the jail and they are scared and they they had a dream and they're telling him the dream he solved the dream he telling them one of you gonna die one of you going to survive and to the one that's going to survive you're telling him please when you're when you when you will so wha when you uh survive when you will see uh please tell don't forget me and tell him that i uh solve your uh dream uh and in this moment we see in uh our uh explanation of the torah our traditions of the torah that rashi said that in this moment he got another two years of jail because he asked for someone to do something for him and this is was the moment that the uh oh you are you're smiling like you want to say something about it yeah yes yes so i will tell you i would complete the story what you're saying that he got punished yes two years because he said he's told him uh of the the the to the minister that he solved his his dream in a way that would come that that he would come back to the kingdom so he told them when you get back to the king remember me so rashi says like he said the comments that he got punished that he told him you know that he tried to to that he wanted his help so there is another comment that he asks what did what did yourself do bad you know why does rashid say like why did he get punished you know he did we need to try you know it's not all god would save me i'm doing nothing you know he did his best so listen to this it's beautiful so he says well yourself solved his dream and told him in three days you would come out so he knew that there's for at least two days that there's other options that could happen so why do you close yourself from the options so that's i heard i i heard something uh different a little bit that he put all his trust on a human uh and and that's why because he knew that you know when you when you solve a dream for someone important like the minister of paolo so you understand that he will do something so then sometimes you you are like when you are doing the the second the second move sometimes it's too much you know we need to trust god to do whatever we need and then to let it go this is the explanation that i heard but what you said it's beautiful too what i said is that that's his name yeah he wrote a comment it's called yeah so it's his it's his idea it says it says but it's something yeah something that says a lot about about but the right work that we need to work with god is that we need to do our best you know do try our best but always be open uh to god's surprises all the time you know it's like it's like the uh that uh there is a very uh uh something very important in our belief that we're waiting for the messiah and uh there is people that that saying that uh uh it's gonna be in this date in this year and and and in our tradition we need to wait every day that it will happen you can't say no it's another 200 years exactly exactly exactly this is the point exactly exactly thank you brother so much you know you know maybe maybe you wanted to speak also about you know about maybe out about dreams it's very important that that you see with joseph that when he solved the dream of tarot you need to go you need to go i think i need to go soon so yeah so maybe you'll continue like this yes no no no no say what you want i just wanted to to close the the story but if you need to go just finish okay okay so so i i would maybe i would go back one step to where you wanted to go i don't really do it do it so we are speaking already about salvage rooms now so you could see also with the point that you said that how did when you said solved the dreams of the two ministers you could see in in their dreams itself what they wanted the first minister of the drinking that he saw them a good that he told him that he's going to come back to his position what did he saw what was in his dream and his dream he dreamt that he's coming back to serve so he saw that this is his real world means he's a good person and his emotion world wants to expand in his goodness and he wants to come back and serve the second one you know his dream was everything is around him and and and birthday from his baskets so okay that's what you want everything to be about around you so probably that's how you behaved also and you could see also in the dream of peril that this is now that this is what got him back like um um after two years so you can see also it's right it's the seven it's it's the seven years so we understood the explanation through the seven years and through through the thin um uh uh um uh cows and and and and the fat cows that there is something with starve and and and and there is some you could understand that for sure but you could see another one thing and this is the point i want to touch and and tell you shabbat shalom and love you so much better and hanukkah it's the time of life and let's relate this also to hanukkah that you could see that why could yourself deal with with with dreams with an emotional world like it's not practical you could say in a lot of ways but this is the truth this is the light maybe maybe when you see things in dark so maybe they are realistic but when you light them you could see their true potential and and and and that's why joseph this is what he brings everywhere he brings his light and in this light he could analyze situations and also bring the true situation for the future he bring bring the su the true solution for the future because he comes from the beginning from a position of of of of of of believing in the light you know believing in in the dream believing in the emotional world he has sensitivity you know we tell a person pay attention you know what you mean in hebrew you say the sim live put your heart put your heart so when you put your heart so you could understand the situation really as it is and also bring solutions to the future because your heart is outside so maybe it's beautiful and and i think to put your heart is to be brave because when you put your heart uh you you are kind of fat alone like you everybody can can can see what you think what you feel there is you need to be very brave to put your heart and i think that we are the artists so it's happening to us all the time you know when you're writing a song and you put it on youtube and you don't know what what will happen what will happen with this song the heart is to share the love just to share the oneness that we are in hanukkah i love you i i hear that good luck in the concert today thank you thank you thank you so much thank you so much of true redemption of redemption of peace of life of of eternal eternal eternal life all right so um i will continue with the story thank you so much eliezer for being with us uh every time that he's joining it's like kind of a very special energy that he bring so we've been in the story that joseph is coming to the jail he's walking in the jail uh in a very positive uh ways it becomes the the kind of the manager of the of the jail uh the the managers of the jail they bring him the responsibility to to manage all the things in the jail of course he still is not from the management but is the the one that they understand that it's better to give him to to manage everybody and all the things that's happening and then he saw the the minister of the drink of uh of the of the two ministers um telling them that one going to die that one going to uh to leave telling to the the one that's going to leave please don't forget me talk to paul that i told you that your dream uh is to uh is mean that you're going to leave please tell it to parole because of this moment as we spoke before he get it getting from god another two years in jail um bots said one thing one reason because uh that there you know he knew that they're going to stay in the jail another three days so why didn't you ask yourself maybe there would be a miracle in these three days the second reason is because that he put all his uh um faith in a man and this is something uh very special uh in this portion that we see that he get a punishment because there is sometimes we need to let things go you know when you do something and you do your best so sometimes you need to to let it go and let uh you know let god do the work if it's if it's something that this is what god wants so just to let it go and this is one message from this portion um then after two years the minister uh remember suddenly that joseph exists in the jail the reason is because that uh um um dream and he dreamt uh uh seven uh uh small and clean cows uh eating a very fat and healthy cows and then and you have another dream you can find it later if you want on google there's another channel i want to do it fast to go to the point and no one can uh solve his dream he understand you feel inside power feeling inside that no one um sold him his dream and then the minister of the drinks telling him hey i remember that there was one um guy hebrew guy in the jail that solved my dream maybe we will call him they are calling to joseph uh after two years of after the punishment that he get he's coming to power he solved the the the the dream and telling him he's telling to power uh the the meaning of the dream is that he will have a seven good years with a lot of of of um um in our that we will say money good economy but another seven years really bad years and he gave him a solution um the solution that that joseph said to power is keep uh keep uh put put on on on the side uh things and and food from the good seven years and then telling him that you will forget in the other seven years that you had a good years it would be so hard and then they are doing it and they are saying that it was right uh in the middle of the seven bad years uh there was um um a very bad years for all the fields in in egypt instead of the fields of joseph and they don't understand uh why and they understand that he's like a very important man and god love him and he speak with god but they don't understand why and they're asking power why there is a small story about how they are coming uh the people of egypt coming to joseph to ask him how it's happened and he's telling them to do a brit me life you don't know what is brit mila so search on google i won't explain it here but they don't they didn't do it and he became really rich because to joseph please i want you to keep to to keep all our reserves all the reserves of egypt is in the hand of joseph uh he became a very important man but very rich man and right after because there is a very bad years in egypt so of course it's affecting israel too and his brothers and his family uh have problems too in israel they are coming to egypt to uh look for a food and they are coming to joseph and is uh there is a very interesting story there that he is um he's kind of play with him it's very hard for me to say play because he's is trying to do things uh because as we know joseph is kind of of of man that's that god speak through him so it's not it's not playing with him but but but when you read that the story it's something that that you can feel that they are coming to him and they don't know that he is joseph he recognized them they are speaking in hebrew and he speak in egyptian language um and they don't know that he speak hebrew so when when they're speaking between uh themselves you understand everything and he sent them back to uh to israel they're coming to ask for food and he send them back that he asked them why you enter for different places to to egypt and they are telling him because we are looking for our brother too and they are telling him all the story and he asking them to bring benjamin uh to go back to to israel and to bring benjamin with them and there is a very interesting story that he put things in their bag and we will talk about it in the last in the next week um because this portion stopped in the middle of the story in the middle of the of the big story that they found things in the back of benjamin where they're coming back to egypt and the slaves of of of uh of joseph put it there so i will stop here i will stop this story here and i will go a little bit back uh for the point that joseph walking uh in the jail and this is the the moment that i want to focus on and then we'll finish today it will be a little bit shorter than than than usual um the moment we seen the the explanation of the story the traditional jewish explanation of the torah that the moment the joseph walking in the jail and see the two ministers of uh uh and telling them why you are sad and smile that's that's what it's my imagination that you smile yeah but it's asking them what's happened what you said this is the moment that from the lowest place in his life you remember that he was in israel they put him in a pit and then they sell him and he's coming to them to the minister of palo and the the wife of the minister sending to to jail is in the the i don't know the worst place he ever imagined that he gonna be in this moment when he stopped to think only about himself and he opened his eyes and ask other people why you are sad do you need help can i help you this is what make joseph who he is and this why this is why i think that he is such a uh a great man um someone that yeah god speak through him because he's not thinking about himself all the time he's not selfish he's walking in the jail in the the worst time in his life and he open his eyes and ask him ask himself maybe someone need help and he helped them and he solved their dreams and this is joseph and for me this moment uh in the jail and and of course it's not my idea i just learned it but in the jewish traditions we can find it that this is the moment that represent what we need to take from this great man justice this moment to be for others to open our eyes maybe someone else needs something and if we will go back for those who follow me uh for all the portion lesson you remember the trail van his brother he lose the leader to he lose the leadership because he was praying and suffering for the things that he did for for jacob and while he was suffering and praying there's something very important to ask her for grievance for god from god but what it's happened his brother was in in in the pit and judah saved joseph and that's why he got the leadership of the family and that's why we are the jewish people as i told you in the last portion we call jews that's why uh the messiah is from judah and this is why joseph is so important because this is what god wants from us this is what i what i understand from what i read in the in the in the explanation of the quran in the torah god asking us don't focus only on yourself it's important to pray i'm praying every day three times and in the middle i'm praying a lot i'm not saying that to pray it's not important but at the same time to open our eyes sometimes you need to stop something when you're on focus on yourself and to ask yourself maybe you can help to others maybe the best things that you can do for yourself is to help to others that's it for today i want to wish you happy hanukkah shabbat shalom and that's it bye bye you
