Shnayim Yomi - Vayeishev - Rishon - #1 - Rabbi Meir Simcha Sperling - The Favorite Child

Shalom to the entire Schneay world. And what a world it is. What a world it is. Okay. So, I just want to mention before anything that we are very lucky to be part of such an amazing organization and uh just realize that this is a big this is unbelievable. Okay. So, what we're going to do is we're going to try to get closer to together and we're going to get right into it. So this is paras and the p starts offeran. So I want to give a little uh a little context for clarity purposes if you don't mind. Jacob was born in the beginning of parases. At the end of paras he's 63 years old. He takes the braha steals the braha from his brother Asovitz and Rifka. That is at the end of parasitz and Rifka. parents tell him you have to leave now and go to Levven to find the okay good he's on the way to Lan like his parents say but he stops off at yeshiv for 14 years it's a pretty long stop over if you ask me all right anyway so now he's 77 years old when he leaves yes and he heads towards Lavan how long is he by love 20 years and within those 20 years a lot happens he gets married to Leia gets married to Raul he has 12 kids Levan Schwatam and Dina and uh and then Paras and then he leaves he runs away parish after Yakavinu is running away with his family he's traveling home it takes him two years two years to get home within those two years we have a lot going on we have the story of Asov we have the story of Dina we have his children wiping out that whole story his wife Raul dies and all of this happens in the span of 2 years wasn't an easy life that he had but you all know this already cuz you're part of let's go. All right. Now he's 99 years old and he finally reaches his father's home. This Rabai is where Paras Vesv starts. Okay. So here he is. He comes to and he is hoping to start a new chapter in his life. Ysef is his son 17 years old and he's a shepherd with all of the other's other brothers. And as we know his brothers hate him. Now obviously you have to know what the word hate means because we're talking about theatim. These were huge huge people. So what does that mean? hate. Okay, so you'll you'll talk about it with your family and your friends. All right. Now, what's the reason that they hate him? Whatever the word hate means, the answer is number one, he tattles. He keeps tattling to his father on them. And number two, he was favored by his father. Right? Yakov loved Yfad. He gave him a special garment, right? Pasim so they hated him. Okay. Within this aliyah, yeah, this is by the way, he has two dreams. Two dreams that we're all aware of. The first one is that these are all they're all taking care of their sheets and their bundles and they're bundling and all of a sudden all of their bundles bow down to Ysef's and Ysef relates this and he says it's over. They're like, "Well, who do you think you are, buddy? Who do you think you are?" That's dream number one. Dream number two is that there's 11 stars, there's a sun and the moon. They're all bowing down to Ysef. Now, obviously, this makes them even more upset, but uh but what happens? They go to his father, Yakavino, and in public, Yakovu rebukes [snorts] him. Like, what do you think? You think me and your and your mother are going to bow down to you? She's not even here anymore. [snorts] But in private, take a look at that. The last words in private it says, "So Yakov knows something's going to happen cuz he knows he wants to see what's going to be." And we're going to find it from the later pious. This is the beginning of Parv. Keep up the great work and have a wonderful week.
