servants announcements to make Hashem the new safer on shamas is now available it's arrived in America you could get it at our site Rabbi dg.com with free shipping this is what it looks like um so it's actually available also if you uh want to get your safer on a Hanukkah the light and the splendor uh you could get it at artscroll.com or in better bookstores actually you could get the say French mice um in farm stores as well and you could check out on our site for those who haven't tried it out yet we have a new venue called Torah illuminated where there is a sheer with an audio presentation with the mayor McCormicks that are sort of come alive you could sign up to that so uh there are a lot of uh new and exciting venues in tamatera today we're going to speak about parisheshev um as well as Hanukkah when you read parisheshev what I'd like to present to you today is after you hear it I hope the reaction is yeah of course that's the simple reading of parisheshev but it might take some study and Analysis until you arrive at that conclusion speaks about the sale of Yosef hasadek Josef was 17 years old he's a young man he elicits the jealousy of his brothers the brothers hate him their brothers want to kill him ultimately they sell him down to mitzrayim when he's in mitzrayim he is thrown in a dungeon um and he is the servant of Ashes poitifera and she tempts him she tries to seduce him and he overcomes a challenge he's in jail he interprets dreams and next week he comes out of jail so the primary subject of parisheshev is the sale of Josef and unusually surprisingly as Joseph is going down to matram all of a sudden stop time out by the way let's take a break over here we have the story that yehudas demoted and he goes to an Abdullah might named Hira and there you that gets married and he has two sons and the two sons die and one of their wives doesn't really want to wait around for his third son Shayla and she masquerades as designer pointed over taina over Tava pushes Yehuda into it and Yehuda ends up living with Tamar and they have a child and zarach and parats and then after that story okay back to the regularly scheduled uh narrative what is going on over here at Ravi where all of a sudden the Torah takes this left turn and the Tyra gives us like I don't know it sounds like a commercial break it sounds like a middle a middle of the narrative in the middle of the story we're talking about yoi safe and all of a sudden we interrupt to talk about what happened to yahudah what's going on over here why does this episode of Yehuda and Tamar interrupt the regularly scheduled story why is that uh Mick why is that interrupting inil of parsha's foreign and if we study this we'll see there's a very clear approach why these are not two independent subjects but rather this is one seamless storyline we know that the way the Revenge film operates the Mahala is there's a concept that is foreign and rava said after Hashem created the rafua to the Makkah after Esther has been firmly entrenched and made Queen of Persia then and only then raise up Haman the Amari shlokish Israel trila like it says Li Israel vinigla avoina but for the nations of the world it is not so Hashem first smites them and only then he creates the refua so the first question is of what relevance of what significance is it that God does not that God creates through a fully Israel even before he brings the Makkah yeah either way one does not Merit getting the refua until after the Makkah so if the person is not getting the refuel their food is not accessible until after the Maca of what relevance of what significance is it that the Imam created it before right you know in other words Pfizer J J and J moderna they created the vaccine after the maca now it's a very it's debatable whether it's a refue after the Maca or it's another Maca after the Maca like because I'll tell us the reason why we said why it says verapa urape because after the doctor heals you you need a refua from his refua but the rebutter some of it's by the doctors you need a sometimes you need a bigger rafua from their refua than from the Makkah itself sometimes the Refuge of the doctor is a bigger coily than the natural highly but in any event of what significance is it that the Iranian creates the refua before the Makkah and the stipler writes in his safer that the idea that hakodesberg who creates the reform before the Maca gives the person encouragement because otherwise a person is in danger of falling into what we call a four way a four-letter word we don't like to say this word it's a very dangerous word the word is Yosh hopelessness despondency very often when a person has a difficulty or a challenge whether it's in health whether it's personal whether whether it's in where a person feels you know what this area of life is just not happening for me it hasn't happened until now I don't think it's going to work out it's not going to happen and if a person is in danger of falling into Yosh so when a person understands no there's no Yosh not only is there a refua do you bunchem created the refua and even before the Maca the reform was created him before the revansham brought the difficulty that gives the person a certain encouragement where a person doesn't think it's hopeless it's helpless no it's not helpless the how the help has already been created now all I need I need to dive in more I need to be zoja to see the refua to see the Yeshua but the Yeshua is there it's been created and the stipler brings us out beautifully by Hagar it says she went and she strayed in the mid bar and the water depleted and yeshmael was close to dying and it looked hopeless where she can get a water in a desert definitely her son's gonna die she even moved away she said but as soon as the rachame was aroused upon her even though she wasn't deserving on of it what does it say doesn't say God created the water it says Rebellion opened up her eyes and she saw the water now this is very interesting by the way because you know every home has you know the tadaka ramir Balinese and I have on the back of mine Summoners there's no such it says she saw the water but this is like you know uh that sadaka has created this Maxim that's not really a plastic but in any event the stipler points out it doesn't say Hashem created the water the water was always there but the Revenge Tom did was Hashem opened up her eyes because we want some creates the refua even before the Maca all one has to do is one has to be zoika to the refuah to the Yeshua says the stapler it's the same thing with every mevucha or bilbul every challenge in life every confusion in life every challenge every difficulty every hurdle the answer the solution is not something that has to be created the solution was created before the ivanishum even brought the problem we if we were makhazik ourselves but this is the great method of a college with which he deals with the Jewish people and this should give us that yeshuaiva lava and if that's the case then we have to utilize this mode of and apply it to the greatest Sarah and the greatest hurdle and the greatest challenge that ever happened to the Jewish people was mitzrayim was you you read the limits where I am and therefore there is no question sent us down to mitzrayim Dubai had to create the refua before foreign how did we get out of mitzrayim we got him inside my Christian why did the yams of split Ghazal say [Music] am kisanos hayard because I'll say what did the sea see the sis why did the sea split because of that Rhino Yosef the Seas split because Hashem said this man fled from his Seducer so you need to flee from binay Israel says since Joseph was so therefore the am fled so if you want to know how do we get Adam let's try him we got Adam Chris why were we talking to Chris yams of in the Merit that Yosef ran away from Asia's poetifera the revolution knows he has to send the Jewish people down to mitzrayim but says before I do that I got to figure out how I'm going to get you out I'm going to get you out with Chris yamsov but why will the sea split the C will split because Yosef ran away from Asia's but defer ah so before I send the Jewish people down to matsurium first I'm gonna send yoi safe down to matram I'm gonna seduce him and tempt him with Asia's poetry Farah Joseph's gonna run away from her and by running away from her he's going to create the situation that we could get Adam and try him so let's imagine for a moment Yosef has just been kidnapped hijacked by terrorists taken away from his dear father and his world is coming Crashing Down he gets to Egypt what's the first thing that happens he's seduced by his master's wife he has to run away and he's now in jail and you always say probably thinks the whole world is Crashing Down and the rebound yourself says now you're making a big mistake your world is not coming crashing down I just gave you the opportunity not to bring clothes on to bondage I gave you the opportunity to get Claudia Israel out of bondage Yosef may have thought that the devotion was abandoning him and forsaking him no just the opposite the Abundant is grooming him for greatness giving him the opportunity to overcome his Seducer and in that marriage I want to add on an amazing idea this is an incredible semis it's worth the price of emission of admission we're going to uh I'm just going to change the battery here [Music] okay so the fasemus writes how was the only safe able how was your safe able to overcome Asus poetifera what gave him the spiritual strength and the capacity to overcome her when he she grabbed him by the clothing and she he just let the clothing remain in her hands the sasemus writes on this week's parashah 's toughrish la madalid 1874. says the sauce MS by him being sold and he was and they tore off His Garment when the shot him tore off the Garment of Josef what did Joseph say Kim Lee why is God doing this to me why is God letting this happen to me why is God abandoning me no Joseph had a moon he was not mahara he believed it was by Joseph allowing His Garment to be stripped from him without questioning the ways of Hashem a little bit later on when Asia's poetifera ripped off Joseph's clothing Joyce said hey wait a second I've been here before been there done that this is not the first time I've had my clothing ripped off of me and the first time I was able to pass the test that and down you always saved the spiritual capacity to overcome the challenge of Asia's poetifera so probably when you're safe had the brothers when the brothers ripped off Joseph's clothing Joyce is probably thinking to himself why is God Joseph excuse me may have thought may could have allowed himself to the luxury he could have allowed himself to think why is God doing this to me why is this happening to me no you said didn't question the ways of Hashem that gave Yosef the wherewithal to overcome the challenge of Isis poitifera and by overcoming the challenge of Asia's that the amps of split so everything that's taking place the challenge of Yosef being sold the challenge and the temptation of Isis was only endowing cloudy soul with the Merit to get Adam it's Ryan what greater illustration of Israel then Hashem sending Yosef down first having his clothing ripped off of him giving him the strength thereby to overcome the temptation of Asus playtifera and then when is pharah rips off his clothing Joseph flees he runs away giving Claudius saw the Merit that when they're at the yam so if they could flee before the um the young fleas so this is all an example of Israel Kane here's another example we're going to read next week in parishes me Cates yes foreign make picky them and divide into fist the land of Israel famously points out that is that Yosef instituted these mitzvahs in mitzrayim Joseph instituted Mila and Shabbos now why did Joseph Institute specifically these three by the way these are the Mitzvahs that the ivanim tried to abolish why did yoi safe abolish these why did Joseph Institute these three Mitzvahs so the hida says there's something very special about these three mitzvahs what these three midsize teach and demonstrate is that we have a special connection with that we have a status of the fact that we are makadish the bezen proclaims the beginning of the new month that indicates our special relationship with Hashem that we are Shabbos really how can we fulfill Shabbos Shabbos is the day of rest of Hashem Shabbos is the scepter of Hashem if a regular citizen holds on to picks up the scepter of the king that's like a rebellion they're more about so how do we have a right to observe the Shabbos Shabbos demonstrates were children of Hashem and while nobody could pick up the scepter of the king only the Kings the King's son could in fact picked up pick up a scepter and then demonstrates that we are banamaka now why was it so important for Yosef to establish that we are because as the hidal writes about in many many places we were supposed to be a mitzrayim for how long is we were supposed to be mitzrayim for 430 years but we weren't the bondage only lasted for the short duration of 86 years why did God accept 86 years of bondage when we were supposed to be enslaved for 430 years explains that because the bondage was so intense Parry said it was such intense labor and bondage God considered and reckoned the 86 years as if we did the full 430 years so really we only did one-fifth of the time 86 is one-fifth of 4 30. we only did one-fifth of the time why did we do one-fifth because you see if a master has a slave and the slave is being overworked will the master let the slave out early it depends what the relationship between the master and the slave is if the slave is just a slave why would the master let the slave out early but if the slave is the Master's child then the master may make an accommodation for excessive and intense labor says Yosef needed to ensure that we would have the status of hashem's children so that God would reckon that our intense labor of 86 years should be considered the full 430. this is what Joseph accomplished by establishing the Mitzvahs of Mila and Shabbos to establish this beautiful this strong connection of and by doing so allowed us to leave one fifth early by the way instead of doing 430 years we did 86 that means how many years did we leave early we left shimad 344 years early shamad that's why whenever their decrees of the government against the Jewish people and we're being persecuted it's called shimad because it comes from the 344 years that we got out early we sort of the through we got out of we extricated ourselves out of 344 years so that we always label persecution against the Jewish people shmad as a remnants to those 344 years even says that who takes us out of the 344 who got us at early moisha moishes Gematria 345. Sonu has the crack of 345 he could extricate us out of 344. be it as it may who got us out of Egypt early you're safe how by instituting so this is another example of Hashem creating the rafua before the Maca Hashem says I got to get the Jewish people out I gotta figure out how they're gonna get out before they even come down so what does do he sends out he sends down your safe he gives Yosef the testimation now that you say flees Asians Hashem says great the yam will flee before cloudy Israel and not only that I gotta get them out early how am I going to get them out early I'm going to establish them as children to me who's gonna establish that you're safe so before the Jews even go down three bonesham has Yosef come down to put into place so that Kali so it could come out early and here's here's the real Whopper this is a gift from heaven and it's push it also by the way there's another reason why we needed to have the status of children because the medicine uh Compares The Exodus of Egypt to a Cayenne who has chuma fell into obesity and the coin has a dilemma okay my truma is in the basic Forest how am I going to get it out the coin has no choice but to get out his truma but the Jewish people are in Egypt they're in the makum of Tuma how am I going to get them out Hashem says I have no choice but to get them out so the question is why Hashem could take us out with Isis and moifsim and he doesn't have to come down intimatram and become Tommy foreign it's interesting that writes you know toys Swiss asks that when Hashem buried my shabinu what Mikvah did he go to after he buried moshrabino because there's no Mikvah in the world that would fit Hashem Hashem would not fit into any Mikvah so how could Hashem be matame to my sharabino so basically tysus asks when Hashem buried moisture what did he how did he go to the Mikvah but Texas doesn't ask how did he become Tommy because we have a dinner of bun him so in order for Hashem to go down into midsreyam to get us out you hear this we didn't just have to have a status upon him for us to leave early we had to have the status abundant to leave period because if we don't have the status of being hashem's children he can't go down into Egypt and be matami to us so in order to get us out he had to send down Yosef to establish that we have the state status of children so he could redeem us now you know we have a concept throughout Ghazal of four galleons we have Bubble we have madai we have yavan and we have edoim and there's a big question that is raised what about mitzrayim isn't it sriim not one of the goliaths why is matram not counted this commentary on the hagada he brings that on the possible that when we came to mitzrayim we would have had we been we would have done all five goliosrayim the word hey is five gallios Beezus Babel Allah also some say the word mitzrayim is a reminisce to the five golias the mem is soila reads that refers to Babel race is madai in fact the beneath says on the words says is not including the foregoles because it's Coyle or the four galias he brings an idea that the four galleons are rooted in the four letters of hashem's name and golos nutsrayim is rooted in the within cap which encapsulates all of hashem's uh four letters and this expression yum and Robin we find many times the megala Muka is also makes reference to the fact that Robin refers to the four galleons um alluded to in the word Robin is so going down to the Triumph friends was not just going down to Egypt but going down to mitzrayim was really going down into all the galley ice including the karangalas of America which is the darkest of all the gullies you know if we would have been Godless in uh France that maybe would have made a Terrace Israel by now if we would have been Gullah in gallus in Yemen we probably would have been in Israel by now if we would have been in Morocco or in Iraq or in Iran we we may have made it out at least uh not out of golus but out of out of but Godless America is a very very dark goddess you know why it's so dark because we don't even think we're in Galas we think we're in Paradise we're so blinded that we think we're in a good place but we've launched them to watch over us and one of them should take us out but when we went down to mitzrayim we weren't just going down to Egypt we were going down into all the goliaths and if the way the ribansham operates is he always creates the refua before the maca then it has to be that before we go down to mathuraim God has to be creating the way to get out not just of mithrayim that we studied already we saw that before we that went down to masram Hashem sent you who had his garments torn off him so that when he faced Asia's poetifera he would overcome that challenge so that that would create Chris yamsov and Hashem allowed Yosef to go down first to establish that we would have the status of bonim so we could get out earlier we could get out period but now we're learning that going downtown was going down into all four goliaths so it must be that way before we go down to mitzrayim 3 balanchum must be creating the light of mashiach and that is exactly and that's exactly what the matters tells us in many places the matter says at that time when Yoshi was going down to mitzrayim caught time out let's turn to the other direction thoughts I've got this under control the team were busy selling Joseph was wearing his sackcloth and his fasting ruvane was engaged in his sackcloth and fasting yaakov was engaged in a sackcloth and fasting Yehuda was getting married and the reborn son was Ice you know what the kavana of the madrases yosef's going down to Missouri so it's not like the Torah is taking a time out and saying by the way okay let me tell you some other story and then we'll get back to the story of Joseph going Anthony no no no no no this is the Darke IM that before any Maca comes to be to be first creates the refua so what's the refuel of going down to mitzrayim yehudah gets married and he has two sons and he has a daughter-in-law and then he lives with the daughter-in-law and he has parents and zarach that sets into motion the fruition of the davidic dynasty amalges base David which is the Forerunner and the progenitor of Malco of malachama because if we're going down into mitzrayim we're about to go there we're about to get there mats rhyme is the rest of all the golios the UK of the four galiasures that encompasses everything so before we go down into ghosts says well time out first before I send the marker I have to create the Refuge they are essential I do love me and we have the creation of the steps that brought into motion the Malco space David and Michelle said look how beautiful is Hashem sets everything into motion before you go down I gotta get you out how you gonna get out Chris yams of how are you going to get Chris yams of Yosef has to overcome the only way he's gonna do it is that the brothers rip his clothing off so you're safe didn't allow himself to say you know this is the low moment of my life my clothing is being ripped off I mean kidnapped Joseph had a moon is making this happen he's setting into motion Yeshua Israel and not only are you safe but then Hashem creates them even before we go down into the first gaulas the matters tells us before even the first captor the Pharaoh was born hashem's already creating the goyal akrine by the way the murderous compares that everything that happened to your safe happened to Sian look at the beautiful words of the Madras called it says what does it say about yourself it says it says but I always see if it says aluminum but seeing it says if it says it says I had a dream foreign and so on and so forth and the aclusive explains that one of the commonalities between Josef and Sian is they both have the same numerical value of 156. 156 six times you had Cave of gay so as we study parisheshev it should fill us with great khizak and great hope when we when we read and we study that before even the Jewish people send are sent down to Missouri Hashem is creating all those necessary the emotions providing this the opportunities necessary to get out of mitzrayim but not just the opportunities necessary to Adam and trium the opportunity is necessary to get out of all of the gaulas namely Hashem is so the episode is not a commercial break it is a seamless illustration of the darkest Israel tequila and uh this is the or the the darkest Hashem you know before Hashem Pfizer only came up with the vaccine if it does anything after the fact the Rebellion created it before the fact as he does with every trouble in life and as the stipler teaches this should give us great khizuk that nothing is helpless nothing is hopeless and Hashem should open up our eyes that we should be always to see the yeshuas that we're hoping for Israel so I wish everybody um a wonderful day next Monday will be the first day of Hanukkah business Hashem so Monday we'll try to learn something about Hanukkah and I wish you well thank you very much thank you okay have a good day have a good day hi you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you
