Shnayim Yomi - Vayeishev - Sheni - #2 - Rabbi Meir Simcha Sperling - The Plot

I want to welcome you back personally. I want to personally welcome you back. Okay. So, welcome. We are in Parasv and we're by Sheni. So, what's going on over here? We just finished saying was waiting to hear, waiting to see what are these dreams going to come to, what's going to really happen cuz he understood there was a lot of depth happening. Okay. So, we're starting over here where the brother is nowad's brothers, theatim. They now go out of out to Shem and they want to watch over and take care of Jacob and his flocks. That's what they do with their shepherds when when you're a shepherd if anybody's a shepherd. So, you know, it's a lot of time to sit and learn, a lot of time to meditate on different and to think about. So, it was a big that they were that they were shepherds. But anyways, they went out and Yakov now sends Ysef to check on his brothers. Remember, they traveled out. is a while away. So he now sends Ysef and he wants to know what's going on with my children, what's going on with the flax, how's everything doing, report back to me. Okay. So of course listens right away and leaves right away and he does exactly what his father says. So he arrives in cuz that's where they were originally, but nobody's there. He just can't find them. Okay, he's walking around and suddenly a man appears. Now who is this man? So we all know from Rashi that this is Malik Gabriel and there is a lot of depth happening in this conversation that uh that they have together. But uh for for us right now what we need he comes over and he basically just gues Ysef to a place a place called where he's going to go and he is going to find his brothers. Okay. So he travels there. Now Ysef goes and from a distance his brothers see him [clears throat] and before he's close enough for them to hear for him to hear they start planning what are we going to do with this kid Malus he went against Yehuda Yehuda is really the king and he's having dreams everybody bowing down to him what are we going to do about this we're going to kill him that's what we're going to do we are going to kill him now remember we're talking about theatim so it's not just like a person with regular anger problems this is the with a lot of very very deepness over here [snorts] and they say we're going to kill And we're going to tell our father Jacobu he was killed. He was attacked by an animal. Now Ruv is the oldest of all theatam. He steps in to save his life and he says no we're not going to shed blood. Rather we're going to throw him into a bar into a pit and let him die on his own. That's what he told them. Now we know that deep down he planned on coming and saving him later. And this is where the aliyah ends. Now I just want to point out one thing that's very very important for all of us to know and that is if Ruven would have known this is brought down in Kazal if Ruven would have known that it was all going to be written down in the Tyra [gasps] and we're all going to be learning about it and it was like it's really written down what you would have done what did you do let's hear the story what what did he do what was his decision in this and that if he would have known he would have literally picked up Ysef and carried him back to his father on his shoulders because what do you mean it's being written in the Torah sometimes As we go through life, we forget that there's also being there's books being written about us in Shmaya. Every action that we do is written down. And sometimes we're going to say like, if I would have known that Hashem was really watching every single thing, if I would have known it would have been written in a book, if I if I'm going to do this or not do this this whatever it is, I would have done it so differently. So just know that that's what's happening. There's a book open and every single action that we do is written in it. Don't be that person that after 120 years like, "Oh, I wish I would have known." Now we know we know our lives have value and everything is everything is significant everything that we do at least in the eyes of Hashem. So let's try to make decisions properly. Let's try to do the right thing to make Hashem proud and say we should all be to a wonderful day.
