okay dear friends we're going now to our
regularly scheduled opening
share and our opening share is usually
what we
call connecting the beginning of the par
to the end of the parha I want to take
you to this this week's email like we
mentioned if you don't yet get the
emails you could subscribe on our s
rab.com you see all these farum in
English are on sale now until after
Kaneka they're all available
and I want to thank my friend from
France raal anel for reminding me of
something I heard many years ago from R
Isaac Bernstein and this thought really
hooks together at the beginning of the
para with the end as
follows in
par um it begins with
dreams Y is having a lot of Dreams
at the end of the par it also ends with
dreams the dreams of the H and the
however there's a very big difference
between these dreams the beginning of
the paraa discusses y's dreams and his
relaying them to others the end of the
par talks about the dreams of others and
Y interpreting them and Rabbi Bernstein
pointed out look at the difference
contrast the difference in terms of what
happened to y in the beginning of the
par end of the Pasha beginning of the
para he's walking around telling other
people about his dreams his aspirations
his hopes his yearnings well that was so
to speak a recipe for
descent on the other hand the end of the
paraa he sees two people troubled
there's something on their mind YF says
tell me about your dreams tell me about
your aspirations tell me about what
you're thinking about what you're hoping
for and that catapulted y safe to
Greatness so so to speak the beginning
of the par and the end of the parha is a
contrast in the attitude
that one could have in life you know
whether one lives only to bring success
to themselves and to bring to fruition
their own
aspirations or whether one is interested
in helping others dreams come to
fruition and Rabbi Bernstein would say
we say that y was an is
how do you say successful person in
Hebrew success is
not but the
cative to bring success to
others then obviously the connection
between the beginning and the end of the
para the paraa
begins rash
says these are the happenings and the
events that unfolded in the life of yako
foremost Cog
foremost
ingredient in the various happenings in
the life of Yakov was y was 17 years old
and things ultimately led to his descent
to
Egypt and sure enough at the end of the
para we read Y is put in jail so what
Rashi says the par began these are the
happenings of Yakov meaning these are
the unfolding events leading to his
descent to Egypt well that's exactly how
the para
ends I saw
the connecting the beginning of the par
to the end of
the by the
way the older brother of the
babaali known as his yard site was this
week connecting the opening word of the
para with the closing word
well the
saer brings a very powerful
idea we know that V is a reference to
the fact that y wanted to live in
shva soem says it's not
enough what's prepared for you in the
world to come you also want to dwell in
Tranquility in this
world so V refers to the desire to so to
speak have a little bit of
Tranquility however we know from the
gamar in
chabas that excessive Indulgence in the
enjoyments of life brings a person to
forget Tyra we know the story ofb he
came to dius and he got drwn after the
springs and the wine and he forgot his
learning he wanted to read
the and instead he read
it it comes out that if you have too
much tranquility and respit it's an
ingredient for your Torah to be
forgotten therefore the par
begins wanted to dwell in Tranquility
the last
is and he
forgot so he forgot uh that's like a
remes to excessive Indulgence brings
to there's
a who also brings a very interesting
connection
between the beginning and the end of the
we know the Sim did not remember y but
he forgot
him why did y have to suffer an
additional two years in jail that the
Sim forgot him the med says because y
put excessive faith and
trust in the
Sim and that lack
of was resulted in having
to stay in jail another two years the
question
is on the one hand Y is called someone
who trusted in Hashem the medis even
opens
up so how could it then turn around and
say
is so this safer
suggests that because y was on such a
high level
of that's why he was held accountable
for his very minuscule failure in
putting some faith in the
Sim therefore for ordinarily this would
not be a lack of B but for it was a lack
of why was it a lack of for
y well he was on such a high level why
was he on such a high level because he's
the son of Yu who exell in into the
highest order and because he
was he was expected to be on an
extraordinarily high level of in fact
the opening of this
week's emphasizing the importance of and
the great levels
be reached in many it
brings therefore since lived in a
house that's why he was held accountable
for putting too much trust in I in the
S my friend Weinstein
sent me a beautiful connection between
the beginning of the par and the end of
the par from
the in the
section the says there are four things
in this world that are
dust sayik were stricken because of
yov lost the for 22 years and Y had to
sit in jail because he spoke so the
beginning of the par talks about y's
inar
y's and the end of the par we see what
happened because of that he had to be
placed in
the this all
demonstrates the the treats that await
at the doorstep of every section of T
actually wrote that he would have liked
to connect the beginning of every m to
the end of every
M but first let's work on
the and then we'll see where it takes us
okay that is number three but I'm not
done with you
