Shnayim Yomi - Miketz - Shishi - #6 - Rabbi Mordechai Kalatzsky - From Affliction to Growth

comes to Shishi and Yoseph sees vinyammen and they go and they eat together say to me no you're an orphan I'm an orphan puts his seats and he sees at the end of he sees his brother's son is this the young and he also says Hashem should give you tremendous [snorts] my son. I want to share with you something about is the only shvat where his name is mentioned in two versions and Yakov gets involved. It says that Raul was dying in childbirth and they said you have a boy and Raul called him Ben Oni the son of my affliction because she died because of the birth and his Jacob said his name is Bin Yammen. So first of all, you never see Yakob involved in any of the names and all of the names, the other 11atimos named the baby. And number two, maybe they had a question about all the names. Why are both names mentioned in the Torah? Listen to this. There's a disagree between Ra and Yakov. Raul says, "He's Ben only. He's a son of my affliction. My son will never meet me. But I want him to know that his mother who loved him and loved Hashem with all her heart. I gave up everything for him. My life itself. Take that and let it inspire you to strive to be the most amazing person possible. And many times you have that in life. Many times you have a Holocaust survivor family or there's something like you know my grandfather my grandmother build again and all those things by the way to build from affliction definitely has its place but Yakob said but you can't live life being driven by pain or suffering or guilt he's not Ben oni he's bamin he's bamin he's a son of the right he is the right hand you are amazing. You're awesome. You're powerful. You can live a life that'll be so fantastic. And both names are mentioned because they're both true. A person has to realize the sacrifices that his ancestors and his parents and grandparents and great-grandparents did for him. Beni, they gave up so much for me and I have to continue that legacy but with binyamin with the hand of the right. So what happens is get to shi is they hide all the money again and they take the ga put it in the sack of binyam and the brothers find and they don't even know what to do and they go back are about to set up the showdown of a yash
