S.S.S.S. Parshas Mikeitz Shabbos Chanukah

everybody before we even get started i'd like to just mention a couple of things first of all i'd like to wish uh a hearty mazeltov to uh shirley ryman um one of the mainstays of our sheer over here every thursday night um who was like about hashem this week to become a z8 again you should be serious to see lots and lots of naturals from this anecdotal and all your other inner clubs and we should constantly be able to mention simpsons here this year that's the first thing the second thing is that i was considering actually just playing piano tonight and skipping the share since it seems that it gets a lot more hits online but uh no the share is also growing and growing each week and we're very happy about that harshest me cates by jan josephus parroy lamar joyce said to parroy billard what happened over here beginning of this week's parsha para had some strange dreams that none of his advisors can really give him a good interpretation of his dreams and pari was unhappy with all the interpretations that they gave him so finally somebody one of the members of pirates court uh the sarah moshkin pipes up and he says you know what i can recommend somebody i want to recommend somebody that can interpret dreams well and of course the sarah moshkin while recommending you save to parody of course he denigrated him and he spoke down about yesterday evan he tried to call him every name in the book not to give yourself too much credit but what he did do is he went over to parroy and he did tell pare that there was somebody who can go ahead and interpret the dreams so paris listened to what he said and parry also went and ignored he ignored all the bad things that the tsar masculine would say about yahushua right it's interesting to note saramashkin said i have this guy but he's uh this and he's an acne and everything else but caro is sort of filtered through because it was bothering him so much his dream that uh he took the oyster to interpret his dream anyway and what did you have to say so joseph gave him an interpreter interpretation of the dream and joseph said afterwards when power i told him that i heard that you are an amazing interpreter he said it's not me it's really beyond me and everything that i do comes from it's beyond me such a major strava that is robert says the way we would say it is he gave credit where credit was due and yes you said it doesn't it's not me it's not me he credited the greatness to its master that's what what yeah did and that's what the matter says on this puzzle and that's something we learned from here so parody not only was paori amazed at the interpretation that joseph gave about his dreams but pari was even more amazed that joseph deflected all the credit you know it's one thing to know how you can do something and you're talented and you're good it's another thing to actually be so humble and deflect all the credit and so that's why karoy he ignored all the negative comments of the sarah moshkin and he said wow such an honor such a person is giving credit to someone else to when he is uh when he himself was such a great man so probably when it went ahead and he took the isis and he made him second to the king right there because of how impressed he was with joseph's character so rafam says on this passage in the sephirah teresa of ramallah it says like this there it was known that the at times would seclude himself in his attic in his home and he would do the following he would make his head and then they they say was once overheard saying the following and i'm going to read you the quote because this however brings it down the quote is as follows and i guess i could be talking to myself since i carried it off it's times name but this is the this is the um what the cup of time said he's so mayor look how much hashem has done for you look how much of courage barco has done for you he's giving you the opportunity to write the shmir the prophet the abbas reset and the mishna brewer he's also giving you a large yeshiva with lots of bene torrent lots of broken yeshiva he says you saw mayor what have you done for hashem this is the prophet talking he's saying how much berkeley gave to him and he's saying look let me look around let me look at all the good things hashem did for me it says what have i done for kurdish morocco it was the prophet saying people of stature dr people that actually know the real score people that are great in more than one way not just by the town people that are thinkers people that know the score and know where everything comes from they don't take the credit for themselves they realize that so much of what they have everything that they have everything that's going around them everything that's going around that on around them comes from a kardashian that's a lesson that we learned from yosef azadek at the beginning of this with parsha and a lesson that rav tom says that we learned also from the puppet's time and we really ban this we find the same idea in the nace of hanukkah makes up at home phil feel free go eat something good food here we find the same thing by the nates of chanukah many have many people have the impression had this idea that the were this uh sort of uh macho army trained and uh schooled in the in the in all the uh different uh phases and different things of warfare and that therefore when they went to battle the the greek syrian army that they were you know they had it all planned out they had everything ready and they were able to go to do uh do war with the with their enemies established they told us no don't think that way they told us otherwise and alan easton what do we say instituted the russian of of islam they're telling us don't think that we have this we have this i don't know you know many times we have to use all these uh fantasies about what these armies were and how trained they were no they were colossian they were really they were not a trained army they never trained for this kind of warfare they never did anything like this they were ms they were kahanam and they were weak people however what was it the credit that alanis is telling us you might think that the whole nation hanukkah we're aside from the nation of daenerys where where we're celebrating the victory of the hashman in the kahananda the war you would think that it's because they were great they would train the army so gaza is telling us what when we say a few times a day when we dab in it where if we if we say they were weak people they were the only again we are attributing the credit to the doula we're crediting to because only because of the test that of a tariff there was no strong army there was no brilliant military strategy over here they were just the players hashem was moving the players around and they were the players now to play out for this maze and this thing talking of the muhammad that we know about that we celebrate kind of uh mcconaughey for and also we read it and we asked him to read him this week's our torah there's a puzzle in this week's torah on hanukkah that we it's not the trial it's not with any of these things it's just with the will and the spirit of our kurdish that we're able to do anything let alone of course to win wars but let alone to carry on anything and we should just know that hanukkah is a very good time we see so many different aside from the parsha aside from the nace hanukkah is a very big time there are very few times during the year that yid is able to like just to sit down for a minute and focus and appreciate where everything we have comes from and it's one of those times that a person could sit down and and remember this indian of telugu there are we see it all the time and we see it economically we see it physically that so many people who when we look at them and and sometimes they even look at themselves that they have everything and they're so big and they're so rich and they're so everything but sometimes you have to think about because we've all seen things turn around in one second everything that a person has whatever he has is a headset and where the toilet and that cutter is powerful we have to thank sparkle for giving to us for getting that dog so i'm kind of a very good time to slow down and look around and learn this lesson i just want to end with the beautiful and see michelle that when we when we wanted taka want to slow down and we want to start thinking and appreciating what hanukkah is and see what shalom discusses on the gemara the gemara says that the mitzvah of nehru hanukkah is near ish ube that's the russian that the gemara uses so the mepharsha may ask and the civil shelton amongst them yes why doesn't it say ner lachobayas why nare issue basa the russian should be the the the incarnation is to have heirloom buyers to have one candle in each house why do we stay near issue basically zulkin to see the show and this is say that we're talking about here that sanika is a time yes it's a time to slow down and begin to look around and appreciate and to see where everything is coming from and the perfect place to start says in the silvershone is don't start looking at other people don't start looking elsewhere don't start looking first outside your house the way to start is near ishq a person should take a look how is my relationship with my children how's my relationship with the wife how's in my relationship with the people in my own household sometimes we take them for granted sometimes we don't give them credit we're we're supposed to give them credit we think that we do everything right and i see everybody's looking at my kids they want to know the answer to this question but we'll just discuss it hopefully they'll get a good report but sometimes you have to know that it's the people that are closest around you that the ones that are most under appreciated and therefore trump can see the show on an error-ish uber a person look around in your own house you don't have to look too far look around at the people that you know the best and see do you appreciate them do you say thank you do you do you understand everything they do for you and then we can learn this lesson that we learned from the prophet saying and all the way back to you of tola viva olive that we where you have to give credit where the credit is due and this indian of our person everybody speaks about this indiana on chanukah about kurosawa china take the lessons that we're learning from hanukkah and it's time to stay with us not just the taste of the donuts or the good stuff that you got for hanukkah presents and all that you have to take with you with us and the lessons and the muslims that we learned from hanukkah and we should take into account for the rest of the year
