Vayeshev - The Positive Voice | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

hi this is dski and welcome to the para in five we're in five minutes we attempt to give you an insight into the parha pares vave it's a sad story The Brothers sell um yoseph into slavery yeah and the thing about yoseph is you can't keep a bad good man down you know we spoke last week about ion raah and and uh Yosef was not affected by the iron Hara that's why he was compared to a fish just like fish are not affected by Iron Rock because people can't see them so too yose uh Al he was protected from the iron ra that he could not be hurt so they sell him in as a slave he becomes the head of Po's house then they Trump up charges against him he gets thrown into prison becomes the head of the prison and while he's in the prison the S hkim and the S come to him the uh the head of the royal Baker and the Royal uh Butler as he's often called yeah and both of them were thrown into prison why the baker left a stone in a pastry and uh pyro chipped a tooth very angry and when the butler brought him him the cup of wine there was a fly in it now it wasn't his fault cuz the fly dropped in just before he went to serve it and he didn't see it but it wasn't because of mismanagement and that's why at the end the um sah maskim gets saved um and the sah gets put to death it's more than that too because the sah was a Russia as the kazal say he was the one who was always taunting uh potifar who would bring this slave along with him to Cabinet meetings you know and he would make fun of Yosef and attack him he was he was a bad guy another way you know he was a bad guy is that Rashi says that each one of them had not only their dream but the interpretation of the other person so when and that's why it says when Yosef interpreted the butler's dream the says the sahim the baker saw it was good because he knew the interpretation of the other one's dream now I understand why the S maskim didn't tell the baker what his dream meant because he didn't want to tell him that he was going to die how come the Sim didn't tell the Sim don't worry you're going to be saved I saw the interpretation of your dream why because he's a rat that's why he's just a bad guy and he doesn't want to help anybody so uh so he doesn't tell the S maskim what his dream means so he doesn't tell him what the dream means why because he's just mean but Yosef tells the butler that he will be saved and he says do me a favor put in a good word for me with pyro because these are trumped up charges and I don't even belong here the story ends and this is how the para ends the uh Butler goes back to his regular um beta you know and he he just botling and it says and this is the last words in the par it says and he didn't remember Y and he forgot him well yeah if you don't remember Yosef you forgot him the answer is no it says the say that he had a Seder in forgetting ysf every day he would work to forget ysf asked why is it that hard to forget things just forget about him you know you met some Jewish slave boy in h prison just forget about him you don't remember him Riva said very interesting thing he said because we always talk about the power of the Y but we forget that there's also a and the good inclination inside of the S hkim kept needling him and said you know this kid did you favor he asked you to mention him to power why don't you mention him and he says no I'm not going to I'm not going to you know I he just kept repeating it he worked to silence that good voice inside of himself we have a generation that considers themselves victims we have a victim mentality nothing's my fault I can't handle anything everyone's taking advantage of me remember you have a y to you have a voice inside of you urging you to be good and do good things let us embrace the positive voice chabas
