but beforehand I want to tell you that
uh Mama's feel that it's a big physique
for us to continue doing the shimmy on
regular basis and growing in this
parashar learning from it learning how
it reflects to our life so many things
to learn when a person spends just this
few minutes weekly learning the parashah
it gives him and us so much more
we found
two stories that seem to be similar in
the beginning the story of Yosef and
story of Yehuda two men that are seduced
by women Joseph by eshet potiphar
constantly Yusef was able to hold very
strong he was very he held he had the
restraint even though she tried very
hard to cause him to sin with her
seducing him in different ways he held
and he didn't fall for it on the on the
contrary Yuda Yuda met Tamar on the
street and she seduced him very quickly
he falls in it and that's it he sins
interesting that eventually you that
becomes the king
and yourself does not if I had to choose
a king I would say yourself is much more
fit for the job look at his restraint
look how it's that seat could the
strength and you know that just Falls so
easily for becoming a king you need to
have a Mida of restraint and mid
Alpha how is it possible that you that
wins the royal
a job Royal role of being the king of
Clarissa and the answer is that Yuda was
mode he admitted his faults when a
person admits his fault although he fell
on sin it's greater than a person that
holds on and doesn't fall in the scene
if a person sins that's the shuva he
regrets his mother he admits I was wrong
it's much greater you know why it's much
greater because when the first person
takes responsibility as we spoke in the
past any admitted sins you can he can
continue seeing everything that he does
and examining it and see whether it's
wrong it's right in the correct manner
in the correct eyes when a person holds
and doesn't fall for a sin doesn't
necessarily have that me down and
therefore that Middlefield yeah I was
wrong I was wrong I'm gonna change my
ways
study something that is even greater
than the power of yourself it's so much
so that I'm Israel is not called only
yehudi on the name of yehudah why
because he admitted of everything that
he did wrong and once you admit you have
the path to correct your ways and become
eventually the greater person of all
people become the king
