The Genesis Process of October 7th - Jeremy Gimpel: The Land of Israel Fellowship

I think the key to life is to turn to the Torah to find that the word is speaking directly to us as a people directly to us as individuals it's a Living Word and one of the greatest literary questions of the Torah is did Jacob know Jacob dies did anyone ever tell him what really happened did the brothers or Joseph ever tell Jacob that actually it was the brothers that sold him down to Egypt in my inst thinks after reading it this year and the blessings that Jacob gave all of the children never mentioning the sale of Joseph is that Jacob didn't know that Joseph never told him and that's really a remarkable thing because when you look at the first verse that introduces Joseph into the world in Genesis uh CH 37 verse 2 here's what it says these are the generations of Jacob when Joseph was 17 years old being a Shepherd he was with his brothers and with his flocks and he was a lad and was with the sons of bilha and with the sons of zilpa his father's wives and Joseph brought evil tales about them to their father that's how Joseph starts off the story speaking debab speaking poorly kind of being the tattletail to his father and then The Saga Begins Joseph is sold down to slavery the brothers are devastated Judah leaves the family comes back around only at the end for Judah to really Rectify himself to allow himself to be forgiven and for him to forgive himself the brothers become United and you also see that in that whole process Joseph changes too if you read the story that way he never told Jacob where he starts off as the tattletale now he really has the ultimate Revenge to tell Jacob what really happened and he guarded that closely never to betray his brothers and not to sadden his father and so you see after this whole process everyone went through a transformation everyone became better everyone became who they were destined to be and that's what it feels like right now in Israel for me it feels like Israel is on the operating table and there's no anesthesia and we're just being cut open and having heart surgery and it's so painful right now just like the stories of Joseph just para after para of pain and struggle and distress and anxiety and then finally our hearts are being fixed Israel is being fixed on so many different fronts
