Shnayim Yomi - Vayeitzei - Rabbi Shlomo Landau - DVAR TORAH

I want to share with you an absolutely mindblowing understanding. In Ravi, we spoke about the fact that Leia was pregnant with her seventh child with Sha Y and how she davins and Hashem switches the gender enabling her sister Rael to have a baby boy. Incredible dedication. She gave up one of the that's like giving up eternity. And you could think to yourself, yeah, she gave up. But listen to something fascinating. The medish teaches us to fast forward and say for boracious Dena is kidnapped and she's held by Shahim who impregnates her and she has a little baby girl and they bring that baby to Yakov. They're like what should we do with this baby? Kazal say that Yakov took the baby crafted a little tiny necklace for the child to wear that said on it anakov. I'm the daughter of Dina the daughter of Yakov. And put that baby by the crossroads. Eventually, that baby is picked up, brought down to Egypt, and sold to a fellow who couldn't have any of his own children by the name of Pitifar, who raises the child like his own and calls the child Asmas. Eventually, Pifar buys Ysef as a slave, who grows up in his home totally unaware that the young lady living in his home is actually his sister's child, his niece. Is that not mind-boggling? What happens when Yseph is appointed as the viceroy as a second in command in all of Egypt? Pik teaches us. They make a huge ticker tape parade. They parade him through the streets and all the girls throw their jewelry at Ysef. And for some reason, one piece of jewelry, a glint of gold, catches Yseph's eyes. There's Hebrew letters on it and it says, "Aniastina bas. I'm the daughter of Dina, the daughter of Yakov it." and and Ysef traces it down and he doesn't even realize he the girl living in his house that's his niece and he marries her as Kazal teaches you're allowed to marry your niece and he has Ephraim and he has manasha two children now listen to this right before Yakov's death he calls in Ephraim and Minasha and he says the following statement I'm going to upgrade even though they're a generation later I'm going to turn them into and listen to what he says will be Which ruin vim? Who were ruin and shim? The children of Leia. And Fry and Manasha were considered children of Leia. So Leia gave up one opportunity of having a by giving that boy to her sister. And she received two in return. When we give, when we do, we never should feel like something is being taken from us. We're giving something up. The word is a pound. When you give, you always get. And that's why you need to learn because if you don't learn the more than once and you don't do it every year, you could go through bat and not realize the brilliance in a bar's intricate tapestry of the stories of paras. Have an amazing shabus.
