Yishai Show: A Victory for Truth

I love everybody and welcome to the eShop flight show show broadcasting live from Jerusalem to the world you're part of it wherever you aren't Shalom and welcome to bake me Josh to Lamia Cove and Shalom and welcome to the land of Israel Network which provides you with great programs from the land of Israel they were in the capital of the Land of Israel if I'm in Salonika that means I'm also with Rabbi Mike Feuer rabbi mike Shalom the capital of Israel you know what I always thought I was the capital but yesterday's decision yeah I knew that I knew that and I'd read the Bible and I and I like know about you know the our State of Israel was 2,000 years of history right 2,000 years years it all came in to me and I knew that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel and yet yesterday a great leader of a great nation Donald Trump's the president Donald Trump stood up and he said incredible things reaffirming that fact that we all know and also declaring that American policy is from now on to respect the fact that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel I thought that his speech itself his speech by the way which was great visuals of the speech because if you heard it it's one thing but if you saw the Christmas trim yes in back yeah it was great it was just great it was totally Christmassy and also behind him was Mike Pence and he was standing there with this kind of like regal no as a kind of regal smile and it was like a nodding yes yes domestic political standpoint this is a big victory for pens and from his own personal belief yes yes you know he's and by the way somebody called me today and was like this is a great victory for Christian Zionism I said you know partially but don't forget that the Trump is not a Christian Zionist no and and that's a Breitbart that helped Trump get in not Christian Zionist and basically there's a coalition here of let's call it conservatives and Christians but in any case and here's the beauty this is what I thought was so great about the Trump speech Donald Trump is is kind of thought of the world over is a kind of buffoon well I don't I never thought that I never thought that yeah I don't / I think I personally don't believe that anybody who's was a very successful billionaire I just don't believe that I understand I have met many millionaires and billionaires and I have not met one yet what strokes among them no not not one yet I just don't think you get there I just don't think you get there but in any case you could be evil but but but I don't think he's evil in any case one thing I don't think that I think people will agree on is that he is a person who is has a strong sense of self right right and yet his right right but but right and and if you ever watch the show it's very much about him and he's the boss another hole no it's called The Apprentice Africa the opposite but but but but if you listen to the speech it was very humble speech he focused on the fact that a there's an American law on the books since 1995 and that he wants to respect the will of the American people and to he said this was a fascinating part of the speech where he said let's just acknowledge the obvious like Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and this is the in my mind the grandeur of what he actually did he said let's just simply speak truth in the public sphere for a minute right just a minute in the international public sphere most importantly and that's why I actually see a direct line between the events of the other night and the approaching Hanukkah story it's it's really a fascinating thing because without getting into the details of the Maccabees and the fight and all that you know the we as a people travel through four different exiles right and the first was in Babylon the second was Persia which is a brief period we can talk about it some other time and the third is Greece and the sage is characterized each one of them in the verses of the tour and you know what they said about the Greeks shame hache looat a nice I am that they're the ones that darken the eyes of Israel why because Greece is the quintessential other story is the quintessential other story which not only claims to be competing narrative but says actually what you're talking about is total hooey you and your dark superstitions and your in your silly notions and your you know mystic fantasies and all that and suddenly we live in a time where our messianic hope of 2000 years of Exile actually is being fulfilled in a literal sense around us every day and nobody wants to see it right and suddenly nobody let's say it's stronger they want to deny it bro because you said the quintessential other story they want it they wouldn't exactly be story threatening then to the losery world that they've built right and suddenly you have a president who also sees himself as a bit of a wrecking ball which is where I see a lot of this coming from saying hey watch this the emperor has no clothes the Empress like duh jerusalem's of capital Jewish people shocker in the world by the way Wayne nuts right smoking out all the snakes such a great image that's such a great so that's a that's such a great image to think about one of those snakes that came out snaking like yeah was Germany yeah Germany came out with statements that that said that they were going that they're very against this that that America's prejudicing you know final status and that there's this needs not to be done and that they're gonna rethink the special relationship they have with Israel and they came out with a lot of really you know hard statements against this and my wife and I were just incredulous we're like we're like if there's one country just should zip it and my wife my wife with her like whip tongue you know wrote on Twitter like you know because of that whole genocide Jew hatred thing that you have in your past is such a distant past right maybe you should just like hold your tongue you know do not do not say things but they came out like speaking of smoking out the snakes they came out hard against it and I want to add to you something I want to add to something I have a friend a friend of ours an uncommon came out with some stuff on Facebook saying this is not important it's not so valuable we know it's the capital and this friend of ours III I couldn't have disagreed with him more I'm saying in a world that wants to promote this contra narrative when our best friend America goes to the world that says I'm the leader of that contra narrative without recognizing my friend's own capital it really opened the door for a lot of people to it legitimized yeah they hate and and I want to remind you something that kind of and pass the news very quickly this past Thursday meaning to say we could go the United Nations approved in the in the General Assembly six resolutions at the vote of 150 one to six which included the following language listen carefully dear rabbi Mike any actions taken by Israel the occupying power to impose its laws jurisdiction and administration on the holy city of Jerusalem are illegal and therefore null and void and have no validity whatsoever did I say did you hear me say Eastern Jerusalem there no it's it's full-on you have no right in Jerusalem but that's the ugliness that underlies all these people saying that trumps statement prejudices final status agreement you realize that because he didn't use the phrase undivided capital of the Jewish people let's face it he didn't talk about the Jewish people's undisputed right to the Temple Mount you know he didn't go there in fact what he said could be interpreted in many many ways even though I think he meant it the way I'm saying it but but the key is nevertheless it shows you that these people all see the ultimate status final status agreement is that Jerusalem is not ours right that is the final step and the denial here is is totally yes that's Annihilus total that is the final status but understand that we just had you know a fight with UNESCO the Nikki Haley's and all that kind of stuff the UN Double Down yep doubling down on its hate and it's contra narrative comes this wrecking ball who but he didn't come as a wrecking ball he spoke in kind of there was a kind of simplicity and naturalness to the way spoke listen you know I'm not a Trump lover but if the man has a redeeming quality it is his disgust with the sort of politically correct intellectual obligation to bow to certain gods of Western culture and so I eternally grateful and the Jewish people ought to be eternally grateful that there was finally American president it would just stand up and speak the truth um yes yes but I but I want to I agree with you the but here is not a but any contradictions and and and I think that the world that wants to have a world of truth forget about Jerusalem per se just somebody who's gonna stand up to this world of deception and lies that's what I think people should be grateful forget even our even watch it that's why they reacted I did it well you know governments don't want wit well the Czech government and I'm proud of the Czechs I bless them god bless them and you know what I always like the Czechs I like Czech literature you know Milan Kundera yes I like my pistol I'm gonna say they make great guns I like my pistol I'm gonna buy another Czech pistol after you know I'll send the ambassador I know this one yep this one though is not made in the Czech Republic it's made in Czechoslovakia that's an old gun yes sure is this is not a gun this is a pistol sorry it's a pistol meaning to say look at how dreamy look in your eyes you said that I was a little bit alarming to me you know it's funny you say that because because I always tell people that that on the one hand guns are disgusting things this this thing that I'm holding on to a murder it's it's well it's the word doing yeah it's a killing machine it's a killing machine it's a killing machine the moral distinction there yeah it's a killing machine on the other hand though it is also a great defensive machine absolutely it's a great equalizer and the Jewish person in this land who has been attacked for so long so many centuries can now defend himself and so important people say to me are you armed I say to them not only in my arm because we're here let's say in could have run or something I'm philosophically like I don't even say and dangerous I believe in the app that like this thing is a great invention for the Jewish people you know and and though at the same time I say to people but please do not misunderstand like I used this gun I even think there's a beauty to it and a mechanic's beauty to it on that but it is a disgusting and abhorrent thing well not only that but it's foreign to us as a people as much as I support the core switch of Jewish history of the last hundred years in our ability defend ourselves this is Cle a South I mean here we are sitting on the edge of the Hanukkah story it's important remember these are the tools of a saw but isn't but it's not what God wants the hands have now for our ability to master those tools in order to make our way in the world which is still built by a self and United States a with its present at the head he's still speaking that voice and that's why I think it was so revolutionary in the light in the Hanukkah story in our struggle with the Greek culture that the representative of Western culture stood up and said actually there's another way to do this there's that there's a truth behind this darkness it was a beautiful moment and and it was a beautiful moment and it was strange Beauty to it because I saw that a lot of Jews Raley's watched it on the screens and they kind of watched it they was they knew it was an important or important moment there and there was another interesting coincidence it was also on this Hasidic holiday this Chabad holiday of UTech kislev the 19th of Kislev which celebrates the liberation of the first Lubavitch Rebbe from a prison in st. Petersburg later Leningrad against Saint Petersburg's now I have visited that very place the prison yes I was next to it I was Shabbos when I walked around there with my mom they wouldn't let you in I didn't want to you know I have money on me and all that kind of it's a museum oh yeah there was that fear also but basically the first about revolutionaries Amon from Lee Adi he was the rabbit the alter rebbe the firstly the old the old kind of Rebbe he and and also an author of of incredible works that I still find somewhat mystifying Netanya let's just put a finger on the fact that he was the one who brought off the full intellectual genius of Judaism into articulating the mighty spirit of classy duty yes that's why the works of Chabad are unique really in all the literature of classy dude yeah and and they're heavy for that reason is gay oh yeah it's a heavy S's in great light right and so the the Russian Tsar is government took him into custody when they found out that he was sending money over to the Land of Israel which is at the time under the Ottoman Turkish control and for and Russia was at war with the Turks and they thought that he might have been colluding with the enemy with the enemy with the Turkish government and after some I think it's 53 days but I remember maybe 56 days in prison and much interrogation he came out of prison on the 19th and oh he would prove to them also that he was not supporting the Turkish government but he was indeed supporting Torah study in the Land of Israel his kind of colleague in some ways even a person who was greater than him menachem mendel from Vitebsk was is Rebbe and went to the Land of Israel and it was at the time very hard very hard to make a living here and and Janeiro's Amin from Lodi was sending this money over there to support him to support Torah study and really to support the nascent Jewish presence in the land of Israel and and he was he came out now now for Hasidim this especially how bad this is called the rosh hashanah Lacaze do it the new year from seed because a kind of trapped light imprisoned light was set free and last night here in israel and all over the world there was these celebrations for bringing you know Jewish Jewish party you know you know the for bringing that's its own word reacts and its allies right translation and and and and I thought I saw that I saw the similarity between these events because he was at the trap light of Jerusalem that was set free and you right also in Hanukkah also trapped light that set free this is I mean this is the essence of the struggle this is why the sages identified that exile Greece is they darking the eyes of Israel it's not just the eyes of Israel's the eyes of the world and we don't need to get into pointing fingers at who backed trumping who didn't but it is important to keep an eye personally if you want to know who our allies are and who is against us the the reaction is something which on the surface of it should just be lauded as a statement of truth right even if you may you know be concerned about some of the consequences but but people the truth is the most precious quantity that the world has today and someone who's willing to stand up and say sister big one deserves our support in an age of information we've also come to an age of disinformation it has come together to us great age of information a great age of disinformation but this is why you've so rightly identified the real battlefield of the world is narrative orphan yeah the narrative war is where we're at today and it was a great moment for a narrative I was like I was like it was a great and and I again I want to state again I really like the humility with which he put it he said this is a truth of 3,000 years it's a bits its historical truth and it's a truth in terms of the will of the American people and it and it's it's a self-evident truth right it's an obvious truth and and Oh Ellen he had it one more wrinkle and he said it's been an unhelpful lie yeah it's been unhelpful that to me is the most important piece in what I'm it's people think maybe in there somewhere in their minds they think they're doing the right thing by saying of course everybody knows drew some scabbit can't say that yet because then we'll but you look how our enemies here reacted like like shield like spoiled children if you even say that we're gonna burn the house down it's like Oh spoil children I call that bullying I call that intellectual bullying bullying let me by the way what happened the day of Rage today I was not impressed well that's the thing a lot of times the date when you wouldn't you you know as we said before in the show when you highlight everything you highlight nothing if you Day of Rage every day and then you call for Day of Rage I mean I came in from all evening today there weren't even like extra police I was a little bit yeah I saw some accidental Dennis you know I actually believe in my heart of hearts the many Arabs listen to what I'm saying side a sigh of relief because this lie has injured their lives Oh in a very right and and and this inkling and there was by the way a realization if you let follow the the tweets of the Palestinian Authority which is not even called the Palestinian Authority it's called the PLO on Twitter the official account they were which is the Palestine Palestine Liberation Organization for all of Palestine all of Israel there was a there was a awareness that this was a defeat of the two-state solution in toto there was statements like that being they were like okay now we have to fight for rights within Israel it was like there was a moment of like okay there was there was something that happened yesterday that and I heard a collective sigh of relief from many Arabs who are damn tired of having to identify themselves with with with this corrupt Palestinian you know regime and I heard a collective sigh of relief of people who said in my ear I heard people say good I want to get on with my life I'm tired of this I don't want to fight this war and you know what I I can I can rationalize the Jewish presence in the land of Israel through the Quran I could rationalize it for my good living I could rationalize it you know what it's a fact it's a fact and that fact we're it's obvious that we're not gonna undermine it so let's get on with it you know it's tell you a funny story happened today connected to V not embassy of course but consulate where we happen to both have been today right you want to wait moments like today we could have been live on location you and I both went to the US consulate in Jerusalem over and there are no not right what did you go to do we went to renew one of my children's past right I want to renew my passport and and we were out of there by 10 o'clock in your appointment was that 10:45 which means we probably literally passed each other within 15 min amazing oh well we missed the shot on live on though yeah but I just said to my wife as we walked in I'm like why people things that take years to move the embassy just paint the side that's right I actually had a quick moment where she stopped me where I was like I have a marker she's like no you may not I don't I like I played a totally cool I didn't even ask whether I'm gonna get Jerusalem Israel on my passport I'm just like just keep quiet see if it happens I just kind of wanted to what was my story so I'm sitting there waiting you know that's because that's what you do you wait and you pay a lot of money now people don't know what you look like you not always if they haven't seen the picture you have appeared you Jewish you've got a big big key Ganju radar if I've told you this but when I traveled the world before I was religious every Jew in a room really kind of goes to me naturally right so oh my god you're gonna tell your story I'm gonna tell you a follow up story okay go so I'm sitting there and I mean and someone older the US comes after US consulate waiting which I have to say was incredibly efficient and they've improved massively over very efficient and very very a kind of pleasant yeah yet sterile and secure atmosphere is what you want out of God absolutely perfect but I just want to understand people get into it there's a kind of formality there for sure you got to go in your hand on your cell phone there's no cell phones you know taking no pictures it's not a true attraction it's very busy and I'm moving around cities wait your turn right so an older Arab woman approached me with papers to apply for Social Security for her son wait a minute an Arab lady walked over to you right what does she look like she has a hijab and she's probably in her I know it's hard to tell in the fifties sixties she's an older Arab lady probably doesn't speak Hebrew that well or right now her English was functional already we didn't try to convert and in in Hebrew and she asks for some help filling out stop I just want people to understand this US Consulate in Jerusalem an Arab lady full-on Arab lady comes up to somebody like you a jewy-lookin Jew said Oh Julie looking just know if she's so new instant her interviews it oh she's nuanced reviews of Jews but people pick me out of Kotter like he's the settler any other guys the Caridi she walked right up to you and she's like please help me yes you're helping I'm like sure no problem Oh filling out a form for her son's Social Security she might be in the aunt LOI there um a and so we sat and she has all these forms to give me the details of with her so she shows through the first one she says I'm asked how to spell her son's name I said I'm sorry I can't read that it's all in Arabic she was like oh right so she started to help me spell things out with her son it's the first time I'd ever seen documents from the state of Palestine and that was kind of what the story is that she's filling out the number and the data that says what's your home address I said what city livet Ramallah and the next question is what state and I had this moment I know what state she lives in right but but there was part of me that hard feeling around that and I asked her that they call that Palestine yeah and she smelled yeah like as if what else would they call it right in on one hand it was important for me to see that that the interpersonal is an absolute value someone asked me for help I said yes in my mind that creates a moral obligation to be a mensch and do what they asked me to provided that it's you know more dangerous or yeah well but that's the thing it's a so morally is this is where it becomes the gray zone like I don't think it's a good thing that there's another entity in our land that calls itself a state of Palestine sure right and and yet you can now you're gonna put it in those little boxes are you gonna put the word class right the word house and and and the reason I did is because this human being just wants to get this oh she did the but there's this uh because like for example Iranians will the Iranian regime asked one of the wrestlers to throw right a match so that he would not face Israel like total diligent musician we totally know you know really think about that connection but I think that's a lot of what it was is that I pride myself on the fact that that um I love human beings I love Jews and I will admit that by and large if you ask me in the abstract I love juice more than I love other human beings just like if you ask me abstract I love my family more than I love of the Jews and I don't think there's anything wrong with that on the contrary I think that's the way that people other than me absolutely righteous function in their world but that's in the abstract and when I'm face to face with someone then then I need to be able to see God in their face whoever they are right and even if it's a person that's gone so evil that God forbid I would have to take their life but I would see God leaving there right like I don't think you can be a Jew in the world and not see God in the face of other now that doesn't mean that other creates an absolute obligation on you have to do whatever they're telling you I have to agree with them it's a truth he's also the mark of God but he was it was a powerful moment for me to realize also in terms what you're saying truth matters what do I care what you want to call it why here is what we make it right you know and and I'm willing to bet this woman could live the rest of her life calling it Palestine and if we actually asserted our sovereignty and gave a better life and opportunities for people to live where they want to live be it within the area between the Jordan Mediterranean or somewhere else in the Middle East or frankly she was getting American social security number so in Brooklyn you know but that we were able with confidence to assert that our narrative of the truth this here is our capital welcome to it here's our land welcome to it I think there's another level which is also that like it or not like it our state the State of Israel helped create a Palestine and that is a legal truth you know therefore family hey truth is a lived reality right and I may not want to write that but that's the reality yeah that's the difference between me and the nutty Iranians right is that I've always been taught in Torah that the way you've changed the world supply looking reality in the face and moving forward not by closing your eyes and pretending that what you don't like doesn't exist okay so now here's my country story to your stream country it's like it's not a conscious story but it but it's a it's related first thing by the way the best part of your story is that is that is that is that she went right up to you you know and and that that in itself is like you know that the complexity of what people don't understand is that we don't we don't hate each other on some kind of visceral level around here people don't understand that by the way I find that here in the Middle East using the English language with Arabs has an effect of causing them to react more regally and more less viscerally less like it puts you in a neutral mental zone he puts the power in the middle far as language goes right but it but it changes and I always like to say sir good morning sir thank you very and when I talk like that it's somehow bats down that that that antagonism that we may have to one another it's just an interesting thing that it's a tactic that I used in times one yeah I find that sometimes it's not necessary to wave the red you know the flag of the bowl right sometimes you know and I have I have that in my arsenal I have that in my arsenal where I knows how to how to and they know who I am but sometimes I will not waive it I might put on a hat even if everyone to speak with my Arab colleagues not because and they know I'd tell them full-on they know that I'm an armed settler right but they also understand that I kid that I give him the respect of not necessarily waiving that right in front well my father always taught me a gentleman a gentleman never insults someone by accident right I mean if you're gonna do something didn't say someone you better do it deliberately and you better be sure you know why you're doing it right you expect the result to be but just to be a bore and say insulting and hurtful things or just be crude you know like that's not a gentleman right and just knowing other people's sensitivities and knowing if you want to activate that sensitivity you know you may want to do it thing right by accident right by exactly so so here's the here's here's here's the exact opposite of that I was at a TV studio yesterday very fancy TV studio with tons of people working there like a hundred people buzzing around on their computers and beautiful of that kind of stuff yeah a beautiful studio and like like a young energy and the whole thing is buzzing buzzing buzzing and like there's three studios and pods and the robotic cameras going off and the whole thing is just on people editing and people the sanad and news people and three languages watching your eyes right it's like it's like a second energy there's an energy there's nothing like live TV live you know it's energetic fine so so I I do my thing and I'm standing there I think waiting for them I next thing or I wasn't sure exactly I'm going I'm literally standing in the middle of this very busy behind I'm standing there without a hat I'm wearing my keep ah I am with my beard we're in Tel Aviv I I'd say let's just I don't want to say which which which channel is on but I was on and but let's put it this way it's certainly the Tel Aviv milieu search sultrily certainly and and I'm standing there and a young girl comes up to me and she goes are you shy I'm like yes I am she goes I work here blah blah blah blah she goes I'm a right-winger I'm a nationalist I'm like great she's like around here everybody is to the other side they're always bringing anti-israel speakers bla bla bla and I'm always trying to help balance this place out I'm a nationalist I'm like great she's like I want to come to everyone is that I love the work you do I'm like great no problem and I'm standing there for a few minutes another girl comes up to me and she goes hi you sham like yeah she's like listen I'm a nationalist do you know the other girl I point so she's like I know her wait she's dead like do you know that she's a she cuz no really I'm like hold on hold on I'm like I bring the other guy go go come here come here this other girl let's call her Tammy Tammy come over here do you know do you know Bridget I'm just making up these names and she's like yeah I'm like do you guys know that you're both Nationals because no they embrace they hold hands they're like they're like they're like you're mayor I'm telling you the story keep the way I've told you is the way it is and the funny thing is I've realized there's a new converse oh there's a new morano like there's a new joke about that no joking this is my spinoza episode that I just put out there's a shell there's a notion of a conversa that goes way beyond simply what the Spanish did to the Jews is a person has to keep their real identity underground right so in a milieu of like Poe scientism or to the to the to the end of between Poe's items and anti-zionism right there are these people who are nationalists let's call them you know what right today at Berkeley if you want to do a Jewish event at Berkeley they do Jewish events now but they don't publicize it it's like an underground thing and you know what it's like I said I'm gonna sneak I was about to do an event at Berkeley got cancelled whatever not because of any anti they just didn't have time I was like I'll sneak in some tefillin and seiderman my like pockets or something like that we don't do that in Russia right it's like that there's like a new underground being like this nationalist and it was so funny and they like and they're and they tweeted they they they what said me later they're like we're gonna come on tour come together and it was like it was like you know and it was like it was like it was like it was like in the certain world and I was just standing there being a magnet just all I was doing was being a proud shoe all I was doing was just standing there well people people should appreciate the fact that you radiate your truth right okay but but here I was just I was just standing there so like a magnet as it wasn't to me it was to this way of thinking you know it was it was really like a funny moment that happened in Tel Aviv you know anyway let's let's you know what Marsha we're gonna talk about the parsha and we're gonna talk about people who radiate their realness for sure oh yeah okay that's gonna be this this expression Konica as well before I go to that I want to say that that

are dedication opportunities you know write a name sponsor a show you know help out and use this opportunity of Hanukkah of dedicated to Jerusalem dedicated to to prove to the truth to courage dedicated to Donald Trump dedicated to Mike Pence dedicated to to whoever you want this is a great opportunity to give and right at the end of the year here so I want you to dig down and and I want you to do two things I want you to be not lazy because if you have to fart right now of giving and saying you know I should give do it and also dig a little bit deeper a little bit past your comfort zones just just a tad deeper you know and give because because you know for your when you go past your comfort zone we can be in our comfort zone and do what we need to do and it really makes a difference that's the pitch and and yes I made a pitch you know I'm asking I'm asking you direct if you have any questions of course write me an email you shy at the Land of Israel calm don't forget our parent Network the Land of Israel Network which is doing such great things okay Rabbi Mike we have uh we have about twenty seven minutes where we can knock out a bit of this incredible tuition we can do it let's rock through it this is the story of we're now gonna be parlaying first thing by the way we're exiting from the more comfortable part of the book of Genesis to the more uncomfortable part of the book of Genesis for from here on end right from here on in although I've seen the whole steel of the blessing thing was not so comfortable okay but it's all downhill from here right right this was gonna be the uncomfortable part of the book of Genesis the book of Bereshit this is the sale of the brothers and the sale of Joseph by the brothers that's going to take us all the way to the very end yeah it's gonna take us to the to the very end the whole thing is now changing tax when I say changing tax think of it like on a ship like the wind is gonna change Florida Lee that's exactly ok coming about right I used to watch those Whitbread and that yeah I still watch those shows because the those races cuz I'm like this is a sport ok I grew up sailing is wonderful small boats but I never did that stuff alright in any case we're talking about Yaakov he's he's in the land of Canaan and and and he wants to kind of sit finally what did we talk about last week we late LaVon to a subs meeting to to the the rape and capture of Deena to the destruction of the people of sham okay you know give me a break now Jakob says give me a chance to have a little bit more rest in this world to settle down and here I am the land of Israel this beloved homeland like here I am with you God and the whole Joseph's story comes around Joseph is born and he is favored by his father and he gives them and this is this is the beginnings of the harshness of this Torah portion becomes right there yeah there's a favoritism that's happening and not only is is is Jacob gonna favor him but in some ways I must say God is gonna favor him by sending these dreams right he's the master of dreams and these dreams are gonna come it says Easter L love Joseph from all of the other brothers because he was a son of his his elder his old age and and Jacob's gonna dream dreams now a new thing is gonna come on these are gonna be now a new theme is gonna come into the Torah which is dreams that need to be interpreted we didn't have that beforehand we had clear dreams God came to him at night and said X Y Z right here is going to be metaphorical maybe a shift in in a way that God communicates with mankind it's very possible and it becomes a biblical theme from Joseph through Daniel this notion that that wisdom comes in having the sensitivity that the dream world can carry truth and the end the insight to actually understand it right and by the way I very much recommend the Chabad kind of rust-colored klemish that they have five parts I don't remember the name of it but it's fabulous and it's got a lot of questions and answers about the issues that are that are gonna be faced here in any case the first dream is that Joseph is gonna tell his brothers you know we're gathering up sheets and we're gonna be binding them and then my bounced sheath my sheaf my sheet right sword in Hebrew not done right is my bundle is going to stand up it's gonna speak right let me speak everybody else just bounce to it right right right sorry yeah right it would be crazy speaking bundles bowing bundle right it's gonna kind of come you know envision it kind of coming to the middle and all the other bundles your bundles of the brothers you know having other bundles right is gonna bow down to my bundle doesn't sound so good for the other bundles right and also look yes I think yourself the first thought is like Joseph why why are you kind of telling maybe this is something you keep it's not actually just a joke it's a very important that the characterization of Joseph in this context the stage of his life is who now had been able have it Zuba he's a now he is childish he has tremendous qualities tremendous potential obviously God is gracing him with visions of the a position that he will hold in the future but he's still in Nam he's unable to hold it and and he doesn't really see his brothers and feel the pain that he's causing them when he tells him these things he doesn't see that that his behavior and his father's behavior is causing deep antagonism yeah in a deep sense of frustration says that he carries the bad things that his brothers say back to his father why we can just have the same thing at kid would say but they were saying bad things they shouldn't be saying those things which is true at the same time you're not being a very good brother right and you're not being sensitive to the fact that it that antagonism is boiling up which is going to boil right over and the next thing is yet another dream on the same theme and it says that he had another dream and he says look the stars the Sun and Moon right so so 11 stars in the Sun of Moon are are bowing out to me whoa that's not even subtle right that's not even subtle and it's also but notice by the way that they are stars you are stars you know you are great you are great forces you're the son of the moon listen this also goes to another heart of the problem the part of the brotherís is that the why didn't they receive Yosef visions is saying while God is speed them he's gonna be something amazing our family has in it this this child graced by God we remember that David's brothers did not like him either he was also the younger brother who was out with the Sheep right while the rest of them thought that they were going to be somebody and when he came down to the battle they said Kyle you're just one of those kids who always wants to know what's going on so father Jacob kind of yells at him publicly and yet he keeps the issue he remembers the issue something is going on here something is going on here and the next part of that story is that the brothers are out shepherding maybe in stem and Shechem so it's not it's where they start and then they're gonna end up in the valley of built on and and as Jacob but in the name of Israel in this point is going to be switching back and forth Israel says to to Joseph are your brother's not shepherding and Shem go there and his son and Yosef says he Nene he nee nee is another way of saying yes sir I'm ready for the mission I'm going on a mission it is true but I think it's important to actually give it its literal translation which is Here I am because he Navy is is the ultimate biblical answer it's what Abram says when God calls to him it's what Yosef says when his father calls him and it's the opposite of what Adam did when God called him in the garden what did Adam do when God called him in the garden after he said he hid right right he hid in here the real answer he named me is I know where I am it's that and that's why I'm ready to do what you want me to do and he's gonna be sent from the from the valley of Hebron I rabbis interpret that to mean the the deep the deep suggestion deep advice of those who are buried in throne and he's gonna go out to what I consider by the way one of the sister cities of Quran which is Shem the reason two sister cities because that's where Joseph is buried and that's also where the Torah is gonna be given of the time of Joshua so kind of a second time and in case it goes out to shoot em he doesn't find them there he finds a man in the field just happened to be waiting for him just happened to and happen to exactly where his brother's you know what I heard I heard your brother's went down to dote on what do you they went thattaway but only what are you looking for Joseph I'm looking for my brother's even though I've said bad things about them even though I've been too childish I'm looking for my brothers I'm searching for my brothers they went thattaway and and he goes that away and then and then the brothers see him from afar coming towards them and they say here comes mr. dreamer man right mr. dreamer man is coming let us kill him oh my god one of the hardest verses in the whole Torah Vitalis who let them go and kill him not we can't even say we should kill him right a third person we should kill him and throw him into one of the wells and we'll make a narrative that an animal ate ate Joseph and we'll see what comes of his dream yeah and that to me is there's there's two levels in which this has to be embrace one is the awful truth of brothers that would even think that about a brother no matter what he's done and it behooves us as Jews to be very wary that that that phrase that you know that a high name of acacia I'm I'm looking for my brother's should be a posture we have toward each other because otherwise there is a real murderous danger in family disputes right that's one the other one is they that thought they could thwart God right this was the plan right these dreams there'll be nothing right and they didn't appreciate the depth of what was coming through because he was not ready to be the vessel for it mm-hmm that's the OSIS process ultimately we call him us about Sadiq he's the oath of the righteous but not right now right now he's still it not right he's got to go through everything that's about to happen in order to make him exciting right but then one of the great things about Joseph is when the time comes and he's called he's gonna be totally wrong get there okay we'll get there anyway they they I'm going quickly through this I'm sorry folks time is limited today but in any case they're gonna throw him into one of these pits Reuven tries to save him he goes out a little bit it comes back by the time he comes back they've already pulled him out of this pit and they by the way they're gonna grab him and they're going to strip strip holding stripping from his clothing you can be stripped of your status as beloved brother beloved son as wise as important as the dream are you gonna be stripped of your clothing we're gonna see that a second time soon that Joseph who can be stripped of his clothing in general clothing is a theme of this partial right it's important to remember that our clothing is not just what keeps us warm it's how we project our inner self of sense of who we are outward towards others and if it's interests honest and real it's one thing it brings us honor but if it's a false front well you see what evil can come of it and I've come to believe that clothing is more important than I knew when I was younger yeah I think it's very important to dress very well dress well I've become that iris might become that I've become that because a careful about it I've seen that it that it has an effect in this world and I've learned from my karate brothers and sisters yes why I respect for their for the and I see it should be emphasized for the simple fact that they're taught from a young age that they are children of the king yes the chosen of the king don't walk around in scrubby clothes right and when young people children wear proper clothing and I'm also pretty marketed and not even and not it what's the word knock fit in English careful careful yeah and and I want my children on Shabbat make sure that they look like Shabbat yes I respect people who are suits and Shabbat even in Israel whatever it is you were a vest I wear a vest on Shabbat something white shirt fest it was a big change for me when I said they learn the laws of Shabbat yes take it more seriously yes it's important to mark it with clothing and I don't think it's so you know the the looseness of it is I'm not in favor of that I think that that yes like make you know and I told my wife like no checkered shirts for the kids white shirts make them they have to know it's Shabbos Shabbos is a white shirt Shabbos you have to look different okay in any case Yosef is stripped he's going to and then suddenly Judah is gonna have a cameo Jude is gonna have two cameras here's was one cameo here is cameos oh yeah Judah Judah the the the repentant he in this point he's gonna make you know he's gonna he's that he's supposed to be the great leader of the brothers at this point he shirks his responsibilities but he says guys we can't murder Joseph that's not right we can't kill him let us sell him at least we'll make some money off it he doesn't say that but he does say but he does say our hands should not be on our brother's death because he is yet our flesh we shmakov and his brothers hurt right we cannot murder which he gets condemned for later because it shows his brothers listen to him right he probably should have gone but you guys is a parallel process the Joseph in this entire series of stories is that he is not yet the leader that he will be just as the Oso has not yet the righteous person that he will be and Yosef is going to be sold to to Egypt to the Midianites and Ishmaelites and one of the stories that I love about this in the majors that says that at the end he was sold on on a spice on the spice routes right through to spice merchants meaning to say yeah you got a stink you get you got a raw deal slavery at least your you're tied hand and foot on top of a bag of good smelling right like like okay it's like could be it could be worse could be worse it's like America double you're in Calais and that's by the way it's an important little point though which is sometimes we suffer things sometimes something things break sometimes things fall something sometimes we you know one of my rabbi friends and rabbi Shoshone I heard is like very badly recently and to also find the where's the spice the spicy smell and the good spells beauty of this detail is who could have preserved this detail and written it down in the tour aside from God other than Yosef meaning in the moment as he's being sold into slavery his brothers have jumped him and beat him up and thrown him in a pit he sees caused a sham he sees the sort of that kindness of God seeping through and saying literally like at least I'm laying on a sack of spice I love what you're saying I love that I love that he is the one who he's already becoming the righteous that he will be very good he's perpetuated that that knowledge that he was carried on the spice rack there was a good great to the great great great point there and and they're gonna bring this beautiful piece of clothing that his father made for him back to their dad bloodied and they're gonna be like what do you think up he says looks like a bad animal ate my son ate my son and yet at the same time while he says that he will refuse to be comforted comforted I'm gonna tell a completely ridiculous story but but but it happened yesterday and this is how you bring Torah into your life yesterday I was at the table at my house wife serve this delicious dinner god bless you maka thank you so much kids were happy but there was no ketchup and it was it was like it was schnitzel you know I said to my wife I go mock is there ketchup she goes no no kitchen we ran out I said to her again is there any ketchup though she goes no we ran out and like a few minutes later I'm like is there any ketchup though and she's like she looked at me like I'm nuts right like where's the kitchen and then later she found the ketchup there was another ketchup and you near heart I said to were not accepting sister maka this is what happened with Yaakov and Yosef you see this is what happened he knew that he was still alive he knew that he was alive but I couldn't when people told him to get over anything no I can't I'm gonna go down to you know to the other world right I'm gonna go down to Hades the half deal right you know with just with grayness and I'm never gonna be happy again because I know that he's alive somewhere I'm not gonna be comforted I told my wife I see I knew there was ketchup in the house in my heart I knew it that's gonna tell a version of - sorry we should pull that one packet it fed the whole thing nor you go with that ketchup that fed them all anyway you know you could laugh that story but for me it was like you see so you took a piece of torah and you're like oh it's real and you know you know what else is I always I always tell people you have to bring the joy of Torah laugh with tore love to our show show the kids that it's beautiful that's my shot on if I have to if I die today god forbid please remember this is my shot okay no you're gonna say okay she knows machine anthem live on ephah and say show them the smile that comes from teaching Torah that okay anyway anyway so so he goes down to Egypt he becomes a slave to to Potiphar's house two more quick stories that we have to get through here one is that where there's gonna be an aside there's gonna be a subplot a second plot camera shift camera shift goes to a different place this is literally my favorite story in the Torah okay interesting this is the one it's like it's like it's it's totally one of my static guy I love this this story like its depth and it's what's behind it is just one of my favorites but we're not gonna be able to get reach all the depths that we could or wish we could reach into it but basically this is about Judah Judah befriends a Gentile Judah marries his daughter no not his daughter right but you know his friend brings him to to that in any case he has three children err an arrow none and in the end fella right so then so then what's gonna happen is air is gonna marry some girl named tomorrow well this Tamar she's actually in reality the the the daughter of Shem okay the Metris will tell us that she is actually the daughter of the great High Priest of of Jerusalem Malky setec that's the same person but we don't know that in any case he marries this incredible person and somehow he is going to get killed by God God is going to kill him why because he refuses to procreate he will want to have relations with with his presumably beautiful wife but will not want to impregnate her lest he somehow spoils her beauty or takes responsibility for children and in one way or another he is going to do a self-serving act self-serving Act our rabbis read that is the kind of the archetype of masturbation of spilling of seed that is that is that is not procreative and I really want to emphasize what I meant by self-serving act is that there's a reason that God made intimacy pleasurable right it's not a bad thing in any way but if what one does in life is the pursuit of one's own pleasure as an end unto itself that brings death right and that that is the that is the opposite of life yeah it is it is it is serving of the now it is serving of and it makes sexuality into the end game yes instead of what it is which is procreation which is which harkens to the past and takes you to the future it's a way of perpetuating it's procreation but it splits procreation by of the the the bridge of intimacy it's very important that that real intimacy bears fruit in the world right and so on none does the same and he too is going to be right his brother's widow right and but by the way there's a we can't we can't go into it now but the very famous verse is that it says the he is below you down in a hush been a shame pay me tell him so air was raw in the eyes of God for what he did air and Ron are inverse inverse relations right this is there's only one other puzzle in the whole Torah that has a relationship to that it says the Noah what's up a nation Noah found grace in the eyes of God and here you can't do it now we can't go into Nixon reflection right it's in and these two verses are really about also whole messianic discussion we'll see in a second why and then there's one son left Shella but he's not given to to Tamar as in levirate marriage to take the place of the two brothers because she's like you know she's like what there's a term for that Widow Black Widow Black Widow great name for the show I always I never named the show when I say I'm gonna name the show right so yeah but yeah let's forget okay Black Widow that's a good one you know I'm gonna I want to call it Jerusalem capital Black Widow and me too we'll see we'll see in a second get to that story yet right and so and so tomorrow is not given Sheila and she is left in her father's house this this woman who was a bride to two of Judah's children she's supposed to get the third child to third boy to marry but it never happens and then tomorrow Tamar takes things into her own hands you who does wife passes away and he is consoled after her death and he goes on to shear his sheep and Tamar finds out about that she makes a kind of disguise disguise but what's the word I'm looking for might have what's thy word a ambush an ambush she's gonna make a love ambush okay al um but I think you have to emphasize it's not just a love ambush tomorrow has a deep-seated sense that in order to move the spiritual history of the human human creation forward that she has to have a union with you though and she thought it was going to be through his children and she sees now that it's not and she's completely unafraid to throw off every convention that the world may have thought be normal to disguise herself and this is another as as a harlot a roadside harlot roadside harlot the lowest of people's really yes a faceless literally face right I mean that's the whole thing just covers her face and that's how he knows that she's a harlot they're in yet we can't go too much into it but notice the power of clothing the place in here she takes off her clothing of mourning covers herself dresses us what she is not in order to enter into the truth of the relationship which she was meant to have and ultimately succeeds right in you the turning aside and going in and saying I would like to be with you and she says well what do you give me for that and he says I'll give you a flock of sheep well no no no one sheep one Jeep no no it's not one sheep it's okay whatever will walk deceive me not son right the easy math one one that's a lot of money I wanna get in today's in today's money by the way a UH a goat is 1800 shekel yeah and then you go get somebody to slaughter sorry right so 1800 shekel that's what in dollars that that's anyway the point is right does that but that's what we're talking about to pay for so anyway okay but understand what's going on here now wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute did you did you hear people just now be like what did Rabbi Mike and rabbi shai say did they say that Judah turned aside in order to be with presumed harlot and pay her money did you just say that yes yes was actually his daughter-in-law in disguise right in case you know I was a parenthesis and I told them that one of the great problems in America today is that the young generation does not know the Bible so they asked me well what advice do you have to make young people I said tell them the hum of the hot stories Tom the rough stories don't tell him the nicey-nice don't stuff out give him the hard ones given the moral questions throwing the violence and the sex and all the things and let them learn it from the Bible and not from TV by the way that's what the great religious teachers of our generation have said you you want to you want to expose your children in the right way to questions of sexuality and more just learn the Bible write the Bible by the way hey God you just stuck this in the book of Genesis right that's the book that the kids read right yeah that's that's where they gotta learn this stuff from and let them let them struggle and let them see the depth and the beauty and don't make it as though our heroes are these you know perfect you sort of stare I all right good guys yes a deacon anyway so read the book people right read the book and read the hard parts don't skip don't skip over though those are the best ones those are the juiciest ones so any case she says we you were saying she says well she says okay well then I need some proof that you're gonna pay up any collateral yeah collateral that's the word in a spoke I give you and she says well your staff your personal seal and that string thing that's right you're carrying around the Patil the Patil which is ostensibly

guess what they had one night one night with the king right yes there was a she's pregnant good for you tomorrow well and that eventually becomes impossible to hide right after about three months right it becomes it becomes a problem and she's been living in her father's house she went back you know as a widow to her father's house right and they come until Judah and say hey you got you got some infidelity on her hand because she's committed to Judas youngest son a little stronger rabbi Mike she has been harlot and she is pregnant to harlotry it's true right that there's a dark force it's a big devour that I have about that but it's a dark energy that says she must die that's right this seed of yours you don't know that but the seed of yours and that's what's so dark about this is that it's the world conspiring to cause him with his own hands to destroy his future think about this rabbi Mike to do exactly what his sons did yes it's just to get ro create that seed yes that's and so they take her out to burn burner burner burner yes they had been put the clip in there yeah burner to stay and on the way out she sends a message not on Twitter not on Facebook go package to Judah right little thing I just want you to know not publicly just to whom these belong I have been a harlot I've been impregnated pregnant I am impregnated to he who's the owner of these not to you know just whomever recognize these care nine I can't it's beautiful course this look familiar nothing and and in from here our sages learned by the way a very important principle that better the one should throw themself into a fiery furnace and embarrass another in public amazing you know and it's a very important thing what a lesson for today's Dania shaming all or the pain to remember out there in the world is that it is literally a do-or-die situation if you face the opportunity of embarrassing another person right in any case here's the big moment true to seize these things and he says he says she was more righteous than me don't do not burn her at the stake she is indeed she is now I know exactly what happened she's writer than I am and that I was supposed to give her the Sun Sheila she did a admirable act indeed doesn't say that but that's what's understood and and basically she saved and they get together and not only that from that impregnation comes a line of the Messiah comes the line of the Messiah twins come out from her and the very colorful language there but in any case the seed of Messiah is born that's right and and that is the seed of Messiah just in one short thought which is the seed of Messiah hides in the darkest of places and needs to be rescued through these kind of incredible acts that's what the human condition is always remember that what's perfect and divine in us God doesn't need us for you could have it without us it's the things which are dark and broken that we have the power to rectify that's what we have to offer to God and that's why the Messiah comes from that place so tomorrow uses her Wiles in order to coax you hooda towards her and to have this incredible union that's going to be the seat of Messiah yes a similar act the one that comes from a dark force is going to be mrs. Poti far if the camera jumps once again right camera jumps back to Joseph back to Joseph to righteous he's gonna be in Egypt and mrs. Potiphar is gonna try to drag him into her bedroom good-looking house slave it is each monthly off he's finding you know pain in everybody's eyes everybody loves him he's he's just good at everything he's got the Midas touch everything he touches turns to gold and she decides that she wants him to be hers and that's why you called this letter a hashtag me too because it says in the tax that she's repeatedly asking him and every opportunity lie with me lie with me until finally one day comes the house is empty it's some festival for a voters are and she says I'm not feeling all today you all go to the temple and sacrifice I'll stay home and there's a big debate when it says and that yoseop went back to the house to do his work I'm sure you're familiar with it right there two of our sages said to do his work meaning he was busy and had stuff to do he got caught and the other one said that basically he decided to give in at that moment and to lie with her ain't a lie with her right and and and and to and and he just you know either couldn't resist there's another version that says that he thought this was actually his way up he knew that he was supposed to go right and and and that's it he's about to to to to succumb to this to this ptooey what's the word of English reduction seduction and at the last moment the Bible doesn't say the Torah doesn't say this actually but the measure says he sees a reflection either of himself or he sees in the window he sees his father Jacob is so powerful that you said it's either of himself or his father's face it there's a very important detail in this story that before this happened he got down to Egypt things were going well he was each monthly a successful at everything he started to dress like an Egyptian he started to grow his hair long and where they wear makeup and fine clothes he may have been a slave that he was the chief slave in the house and in that moment he lost his himself he no I it's so important that he saw his father's reflection in the window cuz we already saw from the Midrash you know who he looked like whose father he looked just like his father look he saw himself and the surface was this long-haired Egyptian guy with the makeup and yet he saw his father behind there he said wait my father is right it's not who I am right and in that moment he ran and I want to add to that that the that the moment of potential sexuality the question is asked what about the past where am i coming from right and then his father system in the Midrash your name was gonna be on the and your son's name so it's going to be on the on the blame of the breastplate of a high priest right it's going to be there it's gonna be the names of the children is gonna be on these on these precious stones you got a big future right and instead guess what they're gonna say about you that you're a pimp yeah that's that's the words you're gonna be a sewers Oh note yeah you're a pimp so which one is it like do you wanna I am showing you the past and showing you the future that's where sexuality has to be well in it what's very important is in it in the present you're feeling consumed by desire and are you a human being that is able to step out of your desire and make a decision of values and and and embody that desire in a way which will bring the world forward or do you fall into that ammo and just consume yourself with desire in the moment and the past and the future be there well she is pulling at him and he says she's literally pulling on his clothes he says I can't do this this thing this
