so kamishi we have the unfortunate
episode involving Dena Dina goes out for
a walk and she gets met by a character
whose name is shm benam Right obviously
just from his name alone we see what an
unsavory character this is and he
proceeds to rape Dina now after he rapes
Dina he decides you know what I actually
like her and respect her and and very
shorish he decides now I want to marry
you and he approaches his
father and he says please try to work
out some sort of a sh between our house
and the house of Yakov so I can actually
marry Dina rightor approaches Yakov
tries to negotiate deals all theim are
right Furious they want no part of this
butor persists at which point they come
to an agreement that if everyone from
the house ofor under goes a Brit then
and only then would they agree to have
the marriage they are very very happy
they decide to go
and they actually go and they have a
Brit law everyone in the house of has a
Brit LA
right they were very very happy with
this agreement and on the third
day
right shim and go and they kill every
single male in the house ofor now we
know that in the Torah there's no
redundancies or there's no there should
be no redundancies if there is one then
it's coming to teach us something so
what do we learn
from
shim we learn from this that they acted
they were the sons of Y but they acted
as individuals as shim Rashi says and
because what they went by trying to
preserve or defend the Dignity of Dena
they showed themselves to be true
Brothers of
Dena yakob is very very upset not sure
what's going to be the public outcry
about this event and very very upset he
feels it's a that this is not the way
that we do things is not the way we
conduct ourselves even later on in part
of this gets brought back to shim and in
a very very bad way and but yet
everything goes on peacefully the house
of yakov's reputation precedes them and
nobody decides to start any trouble with
them
