Yosef, Yehuda, and the Meaning of Life

good luck good evening it is such a pleasure to be back in town stone so nice to see so many people it's so nice we got so many more men this time you know you tried to shove them up and to the side this big movement had to rot on the shim here in Israel you know men's rights are being violated they remind you to break down on the other side on the pizza not to get into Beit Shemesh politics but business first this year is the English mass milk oil Ben hi Rob David and mr. Macha pass out the gun I'm just reading here because I didn't have this course of knowing the people succeeding in raising five from children and the Lower East Side at a time when most people were throwing off the old tyrant their children include Arash Eva Roche Khalil rubbish rule and two daughters or Margaret cetera in their communities one of whom we have this course of having with us this evening two of them really lucked out all 30 of their grandchildren are Shimer a turret mitzvahs managed Thomas heaven alia and this year should be a continuation of the wonderful work it is not by chance that a family is able to produce such Paris yeah there was a Shiva in Europe during the Haskalah and all those kids came out good you know it said wow you know you you must be lucky or something yeah this is lucky since I passed every Monday and Thursday and I say Cahill oh yeah my kids should turn out well so nothing is from nothing so and you see this and of course you know privilege for me to be able to have this opportunity my those of you who watched my podcast and I every now and then refer to my producer he's here this evening and recording this year and so so that's the story are we done okay I gotta talk - all right so I wanna start by telling you a story since we're talking family history my father grew up in Brownsville Brooklyn a shomer Shabbos home but my grandfather didn't know either one of those people who don't have time once said you know I old the Jews and ride and keep Shabbos cuz all the Jews I'm sure riding Kim Jong you know he was firm because he was firm but didn't really know anything my father had no Jewish education whatever you know he my grandfather worked sporadically you know and and what he did make he liked playing pinochle and he wasn't particularly good at it so the family was suffering from hunger and deprivation my father dropped out after ninth grade and went to work to help support the family and he always imbued in us work ethic took hold on some of us more than others but he went out to work to help support his family and in the process as many people in that generation did unfortunately he gave up being shomer Shabbos and he married a nice Jewish girl moved out to Long Island had six boys of whom I'm the quietest agog you know three times a year and a sporadic shop that was always more or less the trajectory that I was on carajo intervened I had a brother who's a genius and I know every Jewish boy is a genius but he went to Brandeis and a full scholarship Gregory at first in his class he went to Duke University graduated first in his class they gave out several special awards he won five of them he was offered a clerkship in the Supreme Court it was a bright guy so he was in sixth grade and he got into an argument with one of his teachers about Constantine which I know is an emotional issue for most sixth graders and he counted to a debate me one so the principal calls in my father and says listen this kid can't stay in post we put her in private school private school meant to get even so he looked up the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County and they convinced them to send him and he went to send them and he convinced them to send the three younger boys you know which included me so four out of the six were going to hang and one by one we all became from and eventually you know my father you know was continuing to them the business and he was the head of family he had a massive heart attack at the age of 67 he said him low-oxygen a mistake and he became shomer Shabbos and for the last years of his life because he passed away from you had a mock away afterwards so but for several years he was able to be shorter Shabbos he'd be located to West Hempstead with three of my brothers were living I went to show every Shabbos I went every element every share it was like you know and and when he passed away that left my mother now i mother had a distinctly different background she grew up in Laurelton which is a well-to-do neighborhood and her father came from odessa did not go to shul on Yom Kippur she told me and nothing he started if anyone knows New York he started the Green Line bus company my grandfather started that bus company with one bus he built it into a bus company he was doing very well brought all his brothers of course and put them into the business and he died young when my mother was still a teenager and and the brothers got together and squeezed out my mother so I lost my bus company I always think about that whenever I'm New York and I see I say that's my bus which is lo ironic because instead of a rough I could have been a bother bus I mean but literally yeah my Louis my bus company anyway but my mother knew nothing you know my father he he remembered the great cause onion you know he's good sure he was sang in a choir what everything was say hammer was a really easy thing so here my mother is left and Orthodox on mono and she knows nothing she just went along with whatever my father said you know so she cookies what am I gonna do so she gets the art scroll Hamish stone passed down from God to Moshe rc9 with the overview and she reads and when she finishes voracious I at this time was living in art so she calls me up she says did you ever read this book I said yeah I'm a familiarity with it you know she said to me these are not nice people now this is so interesting because when you grow up in a particular context you take a lot of things for granted you don't even think about things you know we were having a sabaton and we were doing it was before Shoshanna we were doing and then csy I was the director we were doing a the 10 that we're doing the the sukham in Muslim the 30 sukham and one of them is via scale a chemist nya and there's you know we had like little groups and the girl who's teaching the group has a girl with no background she says who's Noah you never heard of Noah so no so she tells her Suzy a Stickley like we all learnt them to God there was God's is gonna be a big flood and he told no too big you build a big boat I took two of every animal to the boat and then the rain for four years play nice the entire world was covered in water you know and eventually he came out today talk to lady to her she looks and says and you believe that she's like um I guess so like whoever thinks I mean you grow up with certain things you just take it for granted you'll even gonna stop to think but you don't realize what things look like the outside world somebody was describing to me he went to show for the first time on hoshanah Rabbah yeah that it was he just definitely sees the whomping willow ceremony everyone getting whap whap whap whap whap whap you know and that's country key if you've never experienced that before you know well if somebody wants to describe circus people marching around with rifles and hand grenades going I know I don't know how I know do you know even though yeah you have no frame of reference when you grow up with things you take so much stuff for granted you know I'll never forget when I was in the boston-based measures before Yom Kippur and I'm reading through my mock sir after Menken and it says that there are some people who give Marcus Erev Yom Kippur no okay I grew up in a young Israel then so granted we never really did people gave notice but it wasn't pretty it was over here sitting in my seat that was the cause for violence yeah so I said you ever see such a thing ya know and just then someone pulls out from under the Bema this whip the guy bends down are you said what you know I grew up with this and still I found that somewhat disturbing you know but you know I guess if you grew up with things you just take it for granted so we read these stories all the time we were little kids and we don't even think about it so I said so what's bothering you mom you know so he says well you know Yakko his mother favors him and yeah and and your cub favors Asaph and then they conspired together to steal the blessings from there poor blind thoughts he dresses up like his brother and pulls it away you see ace of crying you know daddy don't you have a brother for me there anything for me you know it's heartbreaking and then he goes off and lay your tricks and dresses up like your sister hey my husband I'm now married to sisters and he loves one he doesn't love the other that's a very nice and then he has children I need favours one of the children or the others so the other ones become jealous well of course it's gonna happen if your favorite child yeah she didn't he again that of course I was her favorite thank God you never brought me a nice coat oh that would have been the end of me but anyway so he says and so what do they do they try to kill him and semi-solid the slavery and then once he has the chance and he has the power he turns the tables on them and he throws them at the prison any torches somebody gives a little I said anything else she said go that'll do I said well it's good talking to you mom let's do this moral and you know when you hear it put in that kind of a context when you take it out of the eyes of Hazael and you put it into perspective these things can be very disturbing frankly it could be very disturbing when you're looking at it from an outsider's point of view and you're reading what's there yeah now there's a world out there called Bible scholarship right Bible is taught in universities and there are scholars who study and among the the Bible scholars there are different schools of thought there are what are called the minimalist and the maximalists yeah the minimalists are the ones who is Xu Madras him and and fortune and go with the basic story what's written there is written and you understand it on a simple level you know that's what it is they would jealous of him the way rich in the sense here there were regular people like me India and I'm always amazed when I hear this I have spoken too minimalist yeah I said regular people like me and you you would kill your brother over a coat I said I had brothers we had some fights you know but I don't think it would kill me sell me into slavery no but tell me over a coat they might just take it for me I might rough me up a little bit you know but they start killing each other over a coat and hiding it up and that's not a regular family that's the sopranos is a mafia family y'all people knocking each other off over a coat that does that regular people you and these are the people who are profits who we see prophecies I was the Tyrus says the ships take o of whom you know they were all perfect you know your Schmo is weeded out and ASA was weeded out and these people become you saw these murderers and killers and yeah it doesn't make any sense on a simple level doesn't make any sense and that's why you know when we say the turret commander said in fourth-level say partakes shot remiz joshan sight shot doesn't mean what's written there because what's written there made a peep shot sometimes you have to use your intelligence just to read the story to come up with push-up shot and that the shot is not just what's written there it doesn't make any sense if you look at it you have to understand it on a deeper level so I would like to answer all my mom's questions and put it into a context I had a Rebbe once who said to me if you really want to understand anything in Judaism you gotta start in Dunedin and go all the way to Messiah now to be fair when I started going through a bunch of Shapiro that was never his position because he would sometimes start in what hakodesh borough who was doing before the match over to create the world and I remember one time he took us to the year 10,000 after that thousand years when the whole world is water and we're all floating above it you know he kept going to the year 10 thousand you know so he had a different perspective but I'm usually okay starting a guy Nathan going through chef I mean that's you know a narrow enough area to focus on for most of so we got to go to the beginning and the beginning always means gonna that's our starting point yeah so okay hi coach Rob who created the world why did he create the work what was the motivation and creating the world so right we know created the world as the Mesilla charme says miss our Shambala and i was eve screen outside okay is there a tiny guy meet Eva even the governor McCrory do doors closing might say we were created to get the greatest possible pleasure that's why God created us not to serve Him we're not here to serve God I was speaking in a prominent basic of seminary once and I said you know if you Jewish just cuz you were born Jewish so you're saying if I was going Christian I big Christian and born Bosma be Muslim it's just that a freak that I was born Jewish so at the end seventy percent of the girls came over to me they sat down they said you're right I'm affirmed you because that's border from Joe and I was born a Christian I'd be a Christian or a mother yeah I just do this because I do it as my catchphrase orphan goes most people do what most people do because that's what most people do I'm from Judaism uh from jr. so I said well you know why are you in this room what's the price without hesitating they said to serve touch them a Buddhist Setia do different versions of this modus Hashem Mamluk encourage borrow who give Kaaba dodging yes sir Russia I said what says Hashem needs us to serve Him he needs us to Dobbin and to do mitzvahs I said I thought how Sherman's infinite right he's beyond everything yeah so how could he'd be infinite if he needs something if he needs you to serve him he needs you to dive in then he's foster so luckily there were some of the girls were from the you work so one girl says you mean my parents are paying all this money in tuition and I don't know why I'm alive and I said well maybe you can get some of her back and go shopping no I'm only saying that to this side of the room this side of the room has no idea what I'm talking I will explain this to you two men shopping is a form of torture that Gehenna is going to be a more that's where all the men are gonna go men are gonna go to a mall and they're just going to be wandering around with a list wandering aimlessly through and women that's all women enjoy that's a recreational activity a group of women will get the other say let's go shopping on purpose why am i alive some asil shrimp says clearly not to serve god don't worry about God he is very secure he's that very high self-esteem wakes up in the morning which is amorous there's nothing he's invisible so powerful he's Almighty's omnipresent he's omniscient everything you could ask for yeah doesn't need anything he created the world you to get the greatest possible pleasure that's it so other than how we were created and put in the gun Aidan for one reason to party they had everything they could possibly ask for everything grew on trees now after the fate of other Murray shown we have to plow and plant and harvest and Thresh and winnow and sort and remember my hope of Shabbos chart and and the grind and sift and knead and bake they got a loaf of bread back then to grow on a tree it was the dark wood tree was pumpernickel there was a hole in the middle was a bagel tree and a little dunkin donut bush over here you anything everything was parked the world was in perfection nobody died there was no decay you don't have to be afraid of it there was no disease there was no sickness the way the animals were always like Bambi you know I know yeah you wandered around everything was great there was no problems yeah all you were supposed to do was stay in the garden with honey gosh everything I say but so that you solve the problem as the Ziya cutter says of nama the ki soo that you don't get it for nothing you have to be able to earn the pleasure in order to enjoy it why that is a whole different topic so he put us in this world with a mitzvah one Mitzvah don't eat from that tree that was it one Mitzvah and they did in record time now what were they thinking because I had no Yeats Agra theater was external was to not push what were they thinking a lot of people have different my house a minute mid-sized shed when I get invited back another time we'll talk about some of those perhaps for now let us just go with the bottom line it was a bad idea right that much I think is universally accepted that it was a better idea there was one Mitzvah they broke it that was a good idea it brought death to the world of worth decay if worth destruction and I colors they were kicked out and everything was terrible and the result of this now is we have introduced rah into the world now make no mistake about it the the world was told but rah has to exist now those of you who took physics I took earth science I wasn't smart enough for physics but this much I do know if you paid attention during physics you know I just created something what did I create no I have all the other science guys doing ok let's put up a wedding map this is called potential energy if it falls it's kinetic energy and I can measure the amount of kinetic energy that will be released when it falls yeah potential energy the world did not have to become evil it just had to have the potential for evil why because there is no way to create height without creating depth and if you want to remove depth you have to remove height and therefore the higher up you go the greater are the consequences when you fall down when you're lower down there's less of danger therefore the Antigonus iguodala remove the type of avodah Zarah and as a result of that we lost navour because what do they do they just lowered it so now that you can't fall so far but neither can you reach so high do you want to reach all you have to be prepared to fall so far yep so so the potential for ah existed and now it was manifested and now mankind has two jobs we had one job just enjoy the Civic Arena you know just enjoy yourself being gone egg then cut off our food great now we have two things clean up this mess and I think some very different terms although they all mean the same thing fixed up this mess McCain ha-olam remove rah remove the Cletus remove them a thesis between us and a cottage bar oh ho yeah all these things take on the same thing but it basically means fill in the customers if it was showing us in different places it all means the same thing we messed up the world of hate the automation and we have to fix was and then we can go back and lead the world to perfection now there are two distinctly different skill sets necessary to make it work because the person who's prepared to go out and fight the rack and the fix of the world and do all those kind of things is going to be a different type of a person than a person who sits and you know learns Tyra and you know Harvison I could borrow and yeah those are two different things and the ideal relationship is one person out there and fix the world and the other one will sit and learn and bring the world to its spiritual direction that would be ideal other memories shown is out for the count other area was so traumatized at what he did he separated from his wife 430 years and he only came back because he realized that his his behavior he was he messed it up he messed it up so much he was just a wreck was a wreck so the first two candidates are gonna be other Monica I'm gonna be kinda Nevel why because they're the only two people so that by process of elimination yeah tells you that so let's take a look right away now the world has been messed up kinda have but he hello I'm in Tara chemo a pair of Dalek face but he have o riots own the kind i lov Adama hello became a shepherd and kyon becomes a farmer there are only two professions available the first two kids in the world want you to bring the doctor what you're gonna lawyer one becomes a shepherd and one becomes a farmer why these professions says Ruchi Rohit stone why did he become a Rohit zone the fish in this colour loja Adama Pyrrha Shlomi abode or site because the earth was cursed he stayed away from it which one could then perhaps be medallion why did Cayenne become a farmer because the earth was cursed because he decided to try to fix the world and therefore what was the queer was the right now where was the rock manifest comes ba who says Lord of all markeesha model call you Stefan to tell you how many I hate so sure to me see huh leymah Louis dare call me man cuz you came from the tree Aurora Adama by Baraka the earth is cursed because of you Louisa van toka Lana call you Mesa Yakima codes the dire defense miracle off the houses days of a Sunday yeah now you're going to that the rah of your action the kill coexists in the Adamo and so kyon wanted to go out and fight the rock and so he goes off to fight the wrath and he brings the Corbyn he Institute's the idea of a carbon he was the first person to bring up carbon and have okapis him and he'll has accepted his ISM and Hevel and kind is very upset we are mash of a guy in llama Corolla lemon aku Panetta what are you angry you would eat the breast hello I'm faith you say swim louis xviii the bezel cut this real friends for that so i thought in showboat get some almost wish was wouldn't that be great every time you're about to speak russian our code about what comes to you and says you know you don't want to do this you went to the chemist last year you don't do this don't speak loshon Hara gonna I mean you know play the tape you know I mean Danzig well I always think it's so long and I you know pull ourselves together make a support group you know I mean coach Baba doesn't come to us every time gotta do something but kind found himself in the unique position because his e8 Sahara was now inside and he decided to take rock by the throat and say I'm going to defeat you but remember evil fights back none of those that fight back it doesn't play fair the bad guys never play fair you turn around walk ten paces and shoot soon as you turn around he shoots in the back then they don't play by the Marquis of Queensberry rules they don't play care your wife Chris they're evil and evil are evil and they don't play by rules and they're bad paper well I'll be surprised when they do bad things yeah so kyon is fighting the Rob but the right is getting inside of him so confer who says you can beat this don't give in yeah don't go to the dark side yeah pull yourself inside you can do this yeah it's always nice when I make these different kind of references cuz people who know appreciate it and people who don't know you know it's not a problem and the people who do know and want to pretend it's easy to because you say anyway so okay yeah I had I had a misguided youth anyway so I went said a rebel you said to me Alaska if only you could learn to use your power for good instead of evil imagine what you could accomplish the one thing I might but anyway so he gives in to the dark side and he kills his brother right that's it obviously you two guys at disqualified you he was sitting with the Rohit tone he was staying off to the side what was he doing with that he couldn't track them he was taking the world he was milking them he was sick you find them right so the leaders of price are always called growing so the Shiva roid so yeah that's how they're their Shepherds that's the kind of thing will you elect to the side that was kinda bail he was waiting to lead the world to good they're disqualified and the world goes from bad to worse the worst of the worst to the point where coach Bronco says I have no choice I have to wipe out the entire world it wipes out the entire world starts over again and Nowak has three sons I'm not gonna get into this but if you go into the my route there's a possibility that they could have pulled this rope but they mess up and so we go another ten duros till we come to Abraham Abraham wants to fix up the world but he has to have two children who are gonna do it cuz you need specialized skill sets yeah smile is dealt out and he always was trying to hold onto Ishmael because he was hoping his smile would play that role to fight the rap and that's why he says who you see as mom you know coach Barrow who doesn't you should all have a role to play can he do something here yeah he also has a bris Milla you sir you took your shrouds not cold Sarah he's not gonna be a descendant Aliyah okay you're talking twins could you ask for better than that this Hawk has twins Yaakov and ASA now if we read the story like children all right so Yaakov is nice kid clean-cut you know as you know nice to sheemish a haircut you know I'll be a little nearsighted his glasses sits and learns old thing you know a sub is this big red hairy guy knuckles dragging on the ground a sword in one hand and a severed head in the other you know and he's like oh ha I brought you meet the holy place uh this is you suck the living carbon and he can't see this he can't see it you know start with a couple time where this guy wanted to come home with a brother yes before breakfast so they wanted to tell them telling him you're not giving him a brother unless he tells his son to stop driving his taxi on Chavez so the guy kind of set him yes now they couldn't say any look of time because the guy came and he's hard of hearing they'd have to scream in front of the guy they didn't want to embarrass him you know so he comes to a brocklander comes hi and says oh how can I give you a broker says shabbos he Makarova Shabbos is the source of our offer and if your son drives his taxi on Chavez and your daughter uses a brush on Chavez and pulls out here's how can I get me a broker so they said I don't know how he knew about the hair we didn't know about the hair you can't fool the carpets are you thinking for a long time it was a guy and you shall I am he knew the secret of being able to read faces being able to read faces so his children used to walk around the house with their hats so one time he says them don't you realize I can read your face I could probably see through you act [Music] so they stop with that it's but you know you got a full it's either get talk you're gonna fool him now ASA was not your average run-of-the-mill measure that much is clear IVA says he murdered yeah you know he killed Nimrod who threw Zeta into the kitchen aah but everyone instead had shed some tears over that guy yeah and why'd he kill him to take the big of them of other Maurice on so he could put them on when he served his father trust me evasive came in here right now and he explained to you why he was doing what he was doing you would say oh these student came in here now would stand up in yeah we would sing yum and Mayumi melody you know mama SH you'd see them as it's sad to go how do I know this because it's a manwhich with me everything we know about history we known s when the ship comes it says every time that whoever lives is gonna come to a sudha and hastens gonna come there too and everyone's gonna think he belongs and though cuz burrow who says this isn't fear that means with everything that we know he's gonna pull Abraham you took Yakko yo safe Moshe Rabbeinu ramela everybody yeah with what we know about history he wasn't in Russia the way we think of her his heads buried in Marys Michaela you know he wasn't he wasn't so guy who you know who drove to his parents house parked two blocks away you know put on the yarmulke from the glove compartment and say oh hi pops I was in the neighborhood you know I mean he was because when you are very very high up when you're at the top of the mountain the difference between one side and another is afoot the Sirah yeah and that's why how did Rifkin Oh Rifkin oka janitor boy she got an award for shame Bay ever they told her it that this is not the guy otherwise she would have been full to enfold you're talking about holding this game fooled everybody at Smitty's yeah [Music] and rifki here's he's gonna give the brothers to a so she calls in Yaakov and says dress up like your brother would steal about and yak I was like this ain't gonna work mom this is not gonna work yeah he says I'm a tummy each table you know I don't know how to do these things his ace is a big hairy guy don't worry I'll put goat skins on your arms oh great idea mom that should work I don't think this is a good idea and she says as the targum says I'm a Navi I'm telling you this before do what I tell you and he dresses up and steals the brothers now let me ask you a question I take a tomato and I dressed up like an apple and you make a by priya eight and then I pull up haha what do we call that a brothel if I told if I think I'm giving a brothel a seven is really Yaakov then how's that supposed to work how's that supposed to work yeah so I thought I was doing the property address a nice walk since is what was that that was yoga huh that's pretty funny I never let me give the brothers I can't give you you can't steal a bra where do you keep it he's gonna go take it back with my brother Gary the radio wise guy yeah I can't feel a broker no Rivka had a different country she could have just got home via talked and said listen ASA was fooling you he's really Russia yeah and yesterday what is that riff gonna listen to me okay I'm a living carbon you know I have navour I'm I see the alien don't just think of you as a Russia I would know about it you can't fool me nobody can fool me nobody can fool me rifki says come to yak oh I want you to go in and fool your father I want you to fully fund he goes in he dresses up and he pulls him and yet is a little suspicious he tries this eat rice that and Yaakov who's Anisha hermes has to make sure not to why he's walking a very thin line it's a very tough story but conferral only tests you on where your strengths are so it's Avram within each high said who has to dive into stone which is anti-acid are you looking to just breakfast it or do retsina share its Abraham who's each cousin who has to send one son away and take the other one up a mountain and kill theirs then you know I'm gonna test you on where your strengths are in each MMS is putting this very difficult situation he doesn't why he works at and then a sub walks in he says who are you it's amazing and who is just here since it must have in yakobe must have fooled you he says nobody can fool me oh my goodness the vehicle can fold it and certainly hey so good for me and a sub right on queue says it's the second time he did it to me first he got me to sell me is horrible you sold your soup no came with bread no I go is nothing so you hook says I'm sorry I made a terrible mistake here and thanks for playing let me give you Italy as a consolation prize there's been a terrible mistake here and then at the end of the story he gives with Ross Ross yeah a sub says I'm gonna kill Jakob Jakob says I believe you he runs away now before he runs away he sits in Lawrence for fourteen years cuz you don't want a Russians in there was a young man of 63 just gonna go and get off you go Mary you know he sits in yeshiva shame behavior for 14 years now he's been sitting in UC but no shame Oh a limb it's all night his whole life why says the squirrel Yoshi Oh Helen the oil of Toria and the owner of the row its own he took the same job as heaven and what how was ace of described each I saw there he goes out into the field that's why his hooks or that ASA was a rough guy he no he says oh yeah Asaph doesn't usually use the shame of sham why cuz ace is going out fighting around when you go out and fight the ride then you have to be prepared that you're gonna get your hands dirty you can't just stay off to the side yeah the same skills that make somebody a talented care worker might not make it a talented registry but necessarily nice but you know you want to go out there if your soil cilantro says the broom that sweeps gets dirty you want to go out and fight the rock you gonna have to be prepared to get down and dirty bad guys don't play by the rules you know this you know and so he was undercover and so of course so he says he's not used to hearing the shame a shame because he's always an McComas Tomatoes because he's out there fighting the rock I know that yaakov is a nice Tom he's a he's a nice good boy because he doesn't have to get his hands dirty so now he has a sub that's why he got the brothers cuz I got this job he's going to do both jobs he can't just bring the world back to completion he's gonna have to go out and fight the rock yeah so he first goes to your shooters every neighbor because then till then he had been in yeshiva iveron be its bunker that's what the gemara said I remember you talk how do you Shiva that's what he was loving but now I have to go and deal with the over solemn so I have to go to yeshiva shame behavior where they're gonna teach me go about about a Sura and all the things in the world how to deal with the guy here man cuz now I have the other job at it so I'm fight the rock I have to prepare for it and so then he comes and he sees Ross and he starts crying I've done that on dates and there's more to say on this but anyway and you know and he right away says you know I'm gonna be buried I said I'm not gonna be buried with you which I always found with an awkward conversation and the first thing so uh tell me about your family what you did school what you're going for [Music] okay I got a couple of spots an old map with you I don't know anyway like my conversation wasn't awkward enough anyway so this is the this is the situation this is what we're facing over here you know he knows that rock was the one he's supposed to marry everybody knows he's supposed to marry ruffle everybody knows that and Leia was supposed to marry Jason and everyone knows that I'm gonna say something now a little radical I've had people who have disagreed with me on this very strongly because nobody says it besides me which should make you very suspicious I'm telling you that up front but to me I think it's klore this way I'm gonna say it over do not feel obligated to accept this I'm just sharing with you what I believe to be Emmis I'll show you why I think this yeah so we all know he worked seven years for Rocco and then they dress up layer and then give him way yeah and we talk about Rocco how wonderful mrs. Nevinger mama ruffle she gets a sweaty song I just want to show you what you give up if you're willing to give up your husband on your wedding night it's a song waiting but ladies that I get a song because Leia dresses up like a sister and steals her sister's husband sketchy yeah there had to be awkward in the morning yeah when he realizes that this is Leo who dressed up like her sister and tricked him and there's two different approaches in the majors does it wasn't my podcast I gave one is it the other approach the other approaches he says to Leia ROM I borrow my your father's a crook in your crook how did you pull me dressed up like your sister and told me so she says I know it's hard to believe that a sibling will dress up like a sibling that fool somebody I can't even imagine somebody doing that to let's say their blind father oh wait wait and remember story you dress up like a seven you fooled your father to get the brothers right and that was okay of course it was for the greater good well I Got News for you sweetheart now you're the baqar it's a package deal it comes with me yak have appreciated the point they had it did create a certain level tension certainly around forum time anyway alright who are you anyway but Leia saw that there was which means there's two when Yaakov was Yaakov who was supposed to marry one of the girls and ASA was supposed to marry one of the girls and now that Jakob has both jobs he's Yaakov slash a sub he has to marry both girls he wouldn't have done it unless Leia tricked an infant which one was he originally meant to marry it's the group participation butter the program ruffle how do you know it says where didn't know this is gonna be a quiz did yeah the guys don't care but the women are like was gonna be fast I'm gonna daughter she studies for a blood test how do you know he's with my ruffle what watching Rashi you bringing me ration huh okay let's let's read the ration Perekop test passages aya the a melee Iraqis Morocco are you see a fuss toy I'm in your face my wrath her eyes were weak says Rashi shall how you sir surah alloys Figueroa low show a some because she thought she's supposed to marry ASA boxer and she cried Shahar you hot coal I'm rim because everybody said Snape anima rifki the Schnee Pottersville of hun hunky-dory Lagarde the McDonald exam lovin has two daughters Jakob and you took his two sons the only one to be older I learnt this years ago that Rashi doesn't write anything extra and if he does it's there for you to be metallic and if I was writing this Raj here I would have written Rocky's shabak so sure hiya Lala's big gorilla julissa she was crying tissues most worrisome but that's my ride she says she cried because she thought she was supposed to marry ASA because everyone said she's gonna go marry a sub what do I need that for if it's if it's written in stone she's supposed to marry a sieve and that's what we're supposed to be just right she was quite abrasive she thought you supposed to marry ASA cuz everyone said she's supposed to marry a sub because the mcarthism a car and don't see here into the sea alright everyone knows that which teaches you when it comes to shooting doesn't everybody cuz I'm a little bit talking about because I want to bring you another problematic Rashi one that has always bothered me unless my answer is right Kerrick cthhae parsec above yah - yah - okay the yellow of Casas de akin a sub he was holding on to his heel says Rashi begin oh you're okay is bulla a Cavalli he was holding him bite right to stop him cuz ya code nights are meaty / reshawna the ace of menage Nia because Yaakov was formed first and a sub second Salem at I'll show you Nisha Shrestha px IRA take a tube yeah tango stay up on it zu tapas ooh put it into rocks one after the other one hon if mrs. Ari shown up takes a brother the one that you put in first will come out last minister ace of a night survivor owner not Teresa so a salut is formed the last came out first the yeah coach it's a bit reshawna you're tougher vibhu Yacouba black Moshe Irish on the later Carrie Charlotte Syrah and he wanted to also be the first one to be born just as he was the first one to be it is firstly boy is the first one to be formed those of you who are doing doc young me so you know we're in cut Jim very soon we'll be starting Baros let me teach you a halakhah that's in tomorrow Bucharest you know who the boy is the one who's born first if there are twins and one comes out first the first one is before I don't care who's formed first in every single case of twins one of them might have been formed first who cares according to Rashi anytime there are twins the one who comes out second was formed first so what how logically that is irrelevant the baqar is the one who goes first what is Rashi telling you over here he never learned hookers borrows Ella maintain and a very long Rashi that Rashi is trying to explain to us that the normal rule of the Huayra doesn't apply to Yaakov and Asaph by them it starts from the athira not from the laser even though in every normal case it goes by the laser the opposite is true by yakko's so Yaakov is the ms2 the baqar and just to make it look good he also wanted to come out first but why she says you don't need that he's anyway the baqar so everybody was right they just didn't know there's raschi the older ones supposed to marry the older one laywers was very yeah cool cuz yeah cobra she tells us is really the before so when he bought the papyrus because it already belonged to him I maintain I don't have to agree with me but to me it makes a lot of sense cuz what was yeah Cubs original job according to what we say he was supposed to lead the world back to you know goodness you were supposed to be out hiding the rock and what was later doing sitting and crying first one to give heard uh you know that's her daycare she gets buried with him what's ruffle doing she's beautiful she's going out with the Sheep she's stealing her father's trough him yeah I mean she's going out now she's action-packed she's makes a perfect white face up cuz that's what this is no go out there and you know fight the world well yeah come in layer sitting there he's in the tent she's crying and everybody's happy you know but a couple of she you know Irene and everyone's good that makes more sense about sending of the and that's why Russell doesn't get buried with him because she's gonna sit on the road to dive in for the Jews when they go into garlis that's okay I'll stay here because I'm gonna go out and fight the rat but seems to me push it that way and that was the mistake that they made so this mistake gets magnified because he favors yo safe because he's still got a little edge about what yo say get ruffled look what you did and he feels that since he wanted to marry ruffle first her child should be and yes it should be the Bihar and the other children said no that's not the law huh and yo say should know better and why is he going along with this it's because he's fooling our father now they sat down no they made of a stick cause I'll say and trust me if they came in here right now and told over their base then you would agree with the my hundred percent so they said listen look look look the facts okay we got this brother he likes to dress fancy he fixes up his eyes he fixes himself up he's very external he's sweet talker he's fooling our father sound like anybody you know sounds a lot like I'll go hey sub and now what's he trying to do get rid of eleven twelve to the Jewish people before we even start he's trying to get us dealt out he's going to be the only one how do I know cuz he's spreading lies about us my father how do I know he's spreading lies about his own father let Dogma he says we ate a vermin hi Nevada what happened over here Rashi says Perik walnuts eyen pasa Gitmo this well Havas Yosef mokopuna key Ben's hakuna mule I says Rashi uncle was targum by Hakeem who lay coal Marshall aam aadmi shame behavior more salary everything he learned in yeshiva shame behavior he taught him well let's be medallion Rashi he didn't teach it to everybody he only taught it to yo safe everybody else learnt the Torah that he learned and yeshiva Avraham in your talk but he PEO say he taught what he learned in shame behavior why because yo say came from Rocco and ruff was the one who's gonna have the job to go out and fight the right and so she knew that his oldest son is the one who's gonna lead the fight yo safe is the one who's gonna go out and fight and he says this for Farish because some part says VHA as soon as he's born so he says to love him Rashi he says to Rashi it's interesting now she says Kashia this is para glamourpuss ik Hough hey Tasha yo lo Rafa's yo save me shalt know like sittin Alicia a sub Shanaya Marvo your base yak of Asia busy OSA Volvo basil Akash as soon as your same is born he says now I'm going home cuz I don't have to be afraid of a sub anymore cuz I have no say and yo say we'll beat him and in this week's partial when ASA comes all the children are our environment for yo sake who stand and sing come on closer you're going down that's ready do take your best shot but you better kill me with the first bullet you ain't getting another shot is that he's not afraid of Asaph he's the one who's gonna destroy a sub and Jakob knows this so since his job is to now go out and fight the rock hi Jason I noticed he has to teach him yeshiva shame behavior but he doesn't teach that to everybody else that's where the standing came about because have one rule cards it's a melancholy but there's a difference there are no hiatus there's a whole group of them very large movement they have rabbis who they a stylist do they have at each other's unconscious but there's one distinctive difference gallium don't have to eat them we do when you shift an animal it's called dead even though it might still be moving around the proverbial chicken without a head yeah so when you shaft is considered dead even though it's still moving by a guy there's no straight done so until it stops moving it's not called dead so the B'nai Yaakov who learned the yeshiva ASA Yaakov a bromine yes for Torah which chef the bahama and then start cutting it up and you know he said knowing shame for a verse enjoyed a mmm hi terrible misunderstanding so they decide he's a row babe and they want to kill him and they say you know what let's wait wait Solomon said obvious maybe the of this will break him maybe he'll learn his place maybe we could still save my brother they never thought they did anything wrong to over twenty years later when they're standing before softness finance was giving them a hard time they say one to the other it's course we weren't sensitive enough to our brother when we sold them into slavery we should have heard about a smileyface t-shirt should have done it nicer I'm sorry yo sir it's for your own good years from now you'll thank us yeah but they didn't they didn't and you're safe is there to fight the rot so you can't destroy throw them into a pit with snakes and scorpions like not us we're backing off yeah sell them into slavery becomes the head slave seroma the prison comes out of the prison pull him out of prison and say we'd likely become the second command of the country no problem I just need a different help it is got one of those hats with a snake I love this put it on he's ready to go what do I have to do save the world from starvation easy come easy let's get going you saved the whole life then the brothers show up and it doesn't say he remembers how they hated him it doesn't say he remembered how they ripped his coat it doesn't say remember they threw him in a pit they sold into slavery it says he remembers the dreams and there's two dreams one is the brothers all 11 brothers have to bow down to me and the other one is that Yaakov and the brothers have to bow down to me so I have to make this happen because I have to fight the right where is the right now it's in Claudius well it's called sinners Kinnaman because they can't understand that I have a different role to play in the world than they do and so I'm going to get them to see it you know why because I want to get yak of Avinu down here and then I'm gonna pull off the little mask and say yo se and yeah I'm just gonna say what are you doing here he's gonna say that's a great question anybody wanna finish it yo dad's asking a question guys then you want to share this is caring and sharing time that shot would have so burnt at the center and a place where there never would have been any but the sin of kinam stays why was the second base image destroyed because it said it's kind of what happened immediately after that the icer every game alphas will get killed from up here is Joseph because the sinners Kenan was never destroyed the synonym they could put in the car yourself and Yosef was going to break it down but he's never date him he'll have any bad feelings and that's when he gets up there and he puts on the top of America angry face and he's yelling at that he goes in the back room of Christ heydon't want to go through this but he has to do it until he gets been yeomen down and they will bow down and there's the first three and then he frames Muhammad because he knows that Yaakov knows you need somebody from Bracco's to fight the row we can getting out of this this situation ever and Yaakov will have no choice but to come down and save Bahaman and then I'll fulfill the second dream but he can't go the mile and he breaks down and he starts crying and he goes to Binyam in yemen and they both start crying about what Corbin based on McDuff that's what you're crying about that sure because I just sowed the seeds for it because I didn't ring move the cylinder and cry yourself it's still there I'll prove it to you because after we buried my father and we're on the way back where the brothers say Perignon puss octets love but euro up a Yosef Kemosabe and the young ruler who used to mainly yo safe house the usual owner was call Roger commander also he was just waiting for dad to die and now he's gonna take us out and they say to go safe coasts unruly ghosted dad said yeah on a son of Pasha a few ha ha ha to some Quiroga maluca I tell son of the Pasha of do you know kayo vehicle yeah he said to forgive us dad said to forgive us for our sin of selling you but yes yo say bowdabra a love and he cried you know why cuz I know your wine cuz dad never said that no I know dad never said that cuz they'd never know that you sold me into slavery you know why because I lived for my father and I loved him more than anything in this world and for the last 17 years of my life I avoided him I always said I'm busy with affairs of states I avoided him till I heard he was dying cuz I was terrified what I would do when he asked me how'd you get down to Egypt and I might have to spill the beans on you guys I covered for you the last 17 years of my father's life I missed out because I was worried about you and I have a pretty good sense that you didn't choose to share the news with him but you think I hate you because you hate me and so you're sure that I'm out to get you because you hate me and you do it all over again because you never cured this problem it was never removed and until we solve this problem in class oh now we have to understand every left always like to say you know the end of tightness tomorrow tightness he says and if we understand this it will be the end of tightness so it's called SABIC methodical stand in a circle that they could've burrow hole in the middle and secondly by mail this is my gun yeah why because when we can understand that I may be standing over here and you're over here and I'm a hundred and eighty degrees apart Oh a coach burro who's in the middle and we're the same distance from him you're not you're better than I am I just have a different role to play in this world I may be doing something different than you he's nice office that monitor it all day shave it lady sat Lanterna all day does the only to shut them and we're dedicated to that quiz it could be there are people were doing other things in this world and it couldn't furrow hope the end of my soldiers arm which nobody ever gets to he says and now dear Rita yeah he says you know like I know I didn't list everything that needs to listen this book because the ways of casitas are different for every person and a vote are necessary to reach the highest levels which he calls raw Hakodesh it's going to be different for a person who is involved in business or a guy who's got a profession or a guy who wasn't rents himself out as a day laborer or a guy whose toe Romanow say a guy who sits a month but each one of them can achieve the same fussiness and the growing time that says when there was no rain there with the Hilkiah i have a cookie oh who is a day laborer he worked out in the field and that's how they came to ask the diver because there was no rain bottle everybody and the more women battle the more we can can't sleep 11 yeah and from all sides Novato everybody has to terms yeah it's fanatic and lonely the definition being wherever i am anyone more than me is a fanatic anyone West Indies a look like yes then and that's it that person's crazy this was crazy and I'm the only one who's right I saw I saw a compass tick once it said be reasonable do it my way [Music] yeah that's how we are so what hands up happening if these two forces don't come together and by the way yeah there was a civil war and Kleist was split in half the northern kingdom was called a fry em from yo save and the younger kingdom was called yahudah because yehuda and that's what this woods part was all about from the manolio we disqualified Reuben because of my Sibella we do this qualify terminal ad because of Shem so you who does the de facto leader from the lay aside and you who'd is the one who's supposed to lead the world to perfection and Yosef is the one who's supposed to go out and fight the rhyme take care of everything and that's where at the end of time there will be a mushaf men you know safe and a machine up and oven michelle phan Yosef will destroy all the enemies and destroy everything and he will be the final casualty in the war and I'm a chef and David will commonly the world back to completion finally fulfilling those two jobs that Chiron in heaven could have done the Yaakov and Asaph could have done that eventually Yosef and you who they will have to do but until we can to figure that out and appreciate each other we're going to be stuck yeah so at the end of the story by you gosh we've read the haftorah from your Tesco the heat Varsham Eloi Lema Ave I thought Benidorm Kaka AIT's a hard looks to my lovely Yahoo dollar Bonet you stray off have a rose take a piece of wood and write on it to you Hooda and woven a spell friends look I think it's card example of Leo say 8f Ryan the core base to choke on a roof yo SE and we'll burn a star up friends Makarova some effort ll come look on the eights value hold them bu therefore and let the two pieces of wood come together and become one because that's what we need to do bring together climb so says the very sauce but how do you make two pieces of wood look like one piece of wood you spin it like a fan and the fan spins around even though it might have witness lacks the will spin around what's like one thing he says when you take a piece of wouldn't you spin it it all looks the same when do we do that we played with a dreidel we spin it around it all becomes one and what are the day letters on a dreidel yo Yehuda Yaakov is on his way down to my shrine Perik memoir to contest the SU who the show up the fun of elyo safe the horrid the fun of gonna be Abu arts adventure he said them to open up a yeshiva and Goshen Goshen is from The Legend of Boggy gosh come back together yeah and Goshen I knew who the goes to open the eeschema and yours is gonna be the executive director and he's gonna make sure that everything's taken care of and everything is done and that's how it's gonna be they're gonna work together and he sends them go Cena gimel shin none Hey recognize those letters that's what we raid on the dreidel Gosha because and Hanukkah the Greeks they had like to offer you allowed to write a safe for Turin and your bonus this is this hotner talking about going Tommy if you understand it with his worthwhile if you know how to use it they have to have that respect somebody who's a professional you know he he went off profession look down on him and now you know he's about stuck on eonni and he and he gives a shear and he says says if I just sat in yeshiva and nobody have any use for me but now that I went off again businessman I came back suddenly I'm valuable you know you say well we have four doctors we in from this vision from that but when they left to go up in that way now use please people or advice first who you have never thought about them who have no useful is that any money I had those bums gone get a job I gotta give this guy because he said learn that I went to marry off his daughter you know Crispo Hashem class I was built on a certain level of mutual contempt and we can't afford it there's too many people out there who's out to get us Tom Valero was a professor of mathematics and Harvard University who's best known for writing funny stories says a lot about our society but he wrote a song about national Brotherhood week and the last stands it goes like this oh the Protestants hate the Catholics and the Catholics hate the Protestants and the Hindus hate the Muslims and everybody hates the Jews yeah that's one thing that everyone could agree on one thing you know it's it's it's amazing I remember I was teaching a North American beginners program and and I said I was explained about the menorah and how the menorah represents Optus you know and because all the branches point into each the scent of one that ought to be made out of at heart you know and most of them couldn't figure out how to make it so quite the show here mama nourish a leash you know so they get the guy to me there's a place in in in the old city they made a maneuver I mean how hard is it you know well these books come out they got pictures of anything little bottles of it how hard was it so one of the stupid this is the grab are you already answered it the menorah unrepresentative that's what most Roberto couldn't figure out I know how to make a menorah I didn't know how to achieve the result and I said you're right the only way you do it is when there's fire yeah throw the Jews in the fire and then suddenly we have no choice but to come together gentlemen if we do not hang together then we shall surely hang separately yeah we are at the end of time say big people I'm just repeating what I say we're at the end of time and every one of us has to understand that we have to approach these issues like our life depends on it because it does and do not be lulled into a sense of false security you things can turn bad very quickly cost-efficient yeah and that's what the Gemara says if the Jewish people do too were great and if not I will bring a Mela cosmicllama and then they'll do Trueba yeah I remember when I went to see with my Shapiro before the before the after after the twin towers went down so he said this is Goga maka so somebody said you know they said the Holocaust was go Komodo he said well obviously not anymore well so I so I sorry I said ah so hard you know he looks mean he says dumb it says after gog and magog everyone's gonna do Chuba love it how y'all at the show ah I see Tituba after is there a takane das and Shuba and he says to somebody and not like super like we do on Yom Kippur from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet yeah we can do that because we're motivated by the good we can do it because by the bed we can do it because we learned to have an appreciation for everybody you know somebody asked me once you know how do you tolerate this with tolerate because the coach Brock would judges you the way you judge other people that has made me very understanding and there's then because I would like a coach merical to judge me that way you know that's the way to do they'll have to react or come over you can forgive yourself some things I'm talking to this side of the room this room can Zen you eat yourself up the lies about something easy 20 years ago I suddenly see my wife she's like this I said what's the Matta goes no I just like I never should've let that kid stay back I said she's married with two children you're still worried about what you didn't gun you know I'm gonna please up together we can forgive ourselves when we make mistakes we can forgive other people we have to have that understanding and as we go into Chanukah yeah which focuses on the menorah which is that sense of Octus which is that sense of class for coming together when you see the gun are spinning remember that you're safe in your hood they each have a role in car yourself and each one of us has to appreciate the other person in order to make the world the way Chile Amir Tosh am I afraid of iconic I could Vulcan we should open a mr. go [Music]
