Hi, this is David with the para in five
on paras. This is it the last para of
safe.
There's an amazing scene of course where
Yakov's eyesight is going. And so Yoseph
brings his two sons to Yakov
who at this point is 147 years old and
his eyesight's starting to go and he's
sick. He has to pull himself up on the
bed and Yose brings his two sons for him
to give a braha to Ephraim and Minasha.
And Minasha is the older one. So he
wants to make it easy for Yakov. So he
puts Basha across from his right hand
and Ephraim to his left hand so that he
knows he'll put the right hand which is
more important on the firstborn.
And Yakov switches his hands and puts
the right hand on the younger brother
and the left hand on the older one.
Literally switch his hands.
And Ysef is shocked. Oh no.
Trust me, I know firsthand what happens
when two brothers are confused over who
gets the power of the Bakur of the
firstborn. Don't do this to my kids.
and he tries to move Yakov's hand
and Yakob doesn't say anything. He lets
him try
but he can't budge it. He's trying
he's trying to take his hand. He's old
man. He's not well and he can't budge.
And Yakob says
Beni
I know my son. I know. You think I don't
know what I'm doing.
But the fact of the matter is I know
better than you do what I'm doing. Go
ahead, try to move this hand.
With this hand, I fought a malik. Say
the kazal three are as strong of the
entire universe. I have the strength of
a third of the universe. You're not
moving this hand. But I want you to see
first. I don't want you just to believe
that I know what I'm doing. I want you
to see that I know what I'm doing.
Your daty bene your danty. We always
think we know better. Mark Twain said,
"When I was 17 years old, I thought my
father knew nothing. And when I became
21, I was surprised how much the old man
learned in four years.
I know somebody used to go see Shir
Shapiro not for him. He used to go
shirum and tyrus
quoted a garra and this fellow was big
time. was a shastnik and he says to him,
"No, no, you quoted the garra wrong."
And he says, "Oh."
Anyway, 6 months later as he was going
through shas, he came to that gumar and
he saw that quoted the gears of the
rasha and he went back to he says, "Oh,
you know what you quoted is the gear of
the rash." And goes, "Oh,
[laughter]
yati." You know,
I I I I've also thought about this a
little bit. I've also looked at this. I
went to ask a question to Rebel Yoshv.
It was similar to a question I had asked
him years before. I'll never forget. It
was a question of whether or not I
should go back to America, and he told
me to go. And this time, it was a
question to go, and he told me not to
go. And I said, "Last time the RV told
me to go." I'll never forget this. And
Ribos said, "And you were Matak, right?"
And I was like, "Yeah." And he said,
"Just like I told you then to go, I'm
telling you now not to go.
I know what I'm doing." famous story was
Shiman Schwab went to see the who was
already very old when he was being
offered theella in Germany
and he went to see the
so looks at him and says are you a ley
he says no says how come my father
wasn't a ley no how come your father
wasn't a ley because his father wasn't a
ley ah how come his father wasn't a ley
so he thought to himself he's old he's
starting to lose it you
He says, "Cuz his father wasn't a ley."
He says, "You know why I'm a Cohen and
other people are Levim and you're not?"
Because when Mosher Raenu said, "Milmai,
whoever is for God, come to me. My
greatgrandfather came and yours didn't."
Now you're going to Germany, you're
going to hear the cry again. Milashem
Eli. Don't miss it again. He thought he
didn't really get it. He knew perfectly
well what was going on.
>> [gasps]
>> So you got to have a little trust and
our Torah leaders that they know what
they're talking about.
I know what I'm doing. I've thought
about this too. And
that's
