from the beginning to the end it seems
like nothing to do with anything of our
story but I think this is very important
and maybe this is the message from our
pasta is approaching yourself
so at the beginning we see that is
listen I cannot go back to my father
without Benjamin
will die and then he talked about
himself that he will die
in this world and in the world to come
and then Joseph is asking asking the
brothers
my father is still alive
and then the brother is going to Jacob
and telling him yourself is still alive
and then yaakov is saying oh I should go
see him before I will die and then he's
coming to
Egypt he wants to see that Yusuf is
still alive so before he gonna die you
will see so now we can die because this
Sunday is alive
so many things Jacob is alive Jacob is
about to die was the Torah trying to
tell us but it's not all of it then
you're going to parole parole is okay
hey how old are you why Paradise come
out he says
my life was very bad I'm about to die
the whole partial it seems like we're
talking about the life of yaakov if he's
alive he's gonna die yourself is alive
you're gonna die before he will die
after we will die
why we need all of it Dan
but don't worry even when I will die you
you'll stay with the blessing the Rashi
explained when the Yakov came denial
came to
to parole so it was big blessing that
now they don't need to pump the water
and the denial the new loose was
basically bringing blessing and instead
of having seven years
of no food has only two years
so what's the idea of all of those
things
and I believe that right now we are
called
is going to a country that this place
needs rhyme it's full of materialism
it's only the physical reality it's only
money and food and desires and impurity
and Power
that's it that's all they want all of
those people who live there they're
going to the laws of the lowest just
looking to satisfy their body and their
physical desires
wants to teach the Egyptians his own
children and himself
very important fundamental message about
how Jewish people should live in Exile
it's not about today it's not about what
we have today about our life how we're
living day to day it's about afterlife
it's about the future it's about it's
about who is about the Torah that's the
whole discussion about Jacob is alive
they are Kobe gonna die Joseph is alive
because they want to know and tell us
that it's not about today
it's not about those seconds of what
we're doing what we're earning where
you're gonna live in Egypt in country of
Goshen what you're going to have what
kind of blessing you'll have
it's about what you're able to earn here
for the world to come what you were able
to accomplish before the person is dying
that's what Jacob is saying before our
mood before I'm going to leave this
world I want to make sure I can grab
anything possible to acquire here to
have for the real world the world to
come that's the message everyone
