Okay, we are now beginning go mitime
last week's par is where the go really
began as Rashi brings down at the
beginning of the para par really gives
us the story of the Ysef and the
brothers coming down to Mitrime really
gives us the information and the feeling
of how to end how to endure and survive
in galas. What is our mindset as we go
down into galis mitz? We all feel our
own galas mitz. That's why there's a
mitzvah to remember yity mit every day.
So what are we taking with us from these
parish taking us into goal mitrine with
paras is actually the end of s bracius
the climax of s bracius the end is
always connected to the beginning how
does the end how does how does the story
of y his brothers yakov coming down to
mitime how does it all connect to the
beginning of safe abracious
the answer is the beginning of safe is
really the tas of everything hashem
created and but Hashem created Adam to
be a king to be a ruler. Hashem said to
him or you should rule. Hashem said to
him you should conquer conquer rule. We
are called the alum
is the we are created as rulers as
kings.
We are
the he's an he's an he was there to
assist to be a servant of the Nisan is
always when we are fighting when we
involved with battles with the Nisan is
always that we should remain the Malik
and he should remain the because he's
always trying to evoke
he's always trying to evoke that it
should be the other way around he wants
to take over the malus the wants to take
over the malus he wants us to be aim he
wants us to be slaves to our desires
slaves to our yates so really what's
going on over here the beginning of
braces is Hashem is making it very clear
don't forget that you're the mel
you are there to assist you are there as
an ever to and don't turn the tables
don't make of
unfortunately
Adam through the no succumb to the to
his desires and therefore when a person
succumbs to the he becomes a slave he
becomes an e of hiser and when he
becomes the e of his yateser then the
yates becomes his king and that's why
he's called a mel melik
is called. So really what happened by is
mishian gave over his powers of to the
to the to become the malik and became
the
and therefore the of the of this is for
a ye always to remind himself that we
have malus in us that we are malus when
we were created to be conquerors to
conquer all the and to conquer all the
obstacles that are placed before us and
this is why is the tick of he had this
whole parish of the whole with
Rashi [snorts] says,
"So who is the is it?" In other words,
it seems it may be Asov. He came out
first. He may be the Bakar. Meaning the
sometimes see seems that Asov represents
the represents the Yates. It seems that
the Yates might be the king. But
nevertheless
made sure to buy the he acquired the he
and as say he is the rightful because is
the rightful king. He represents
the is the king is
we are the kings and we have to act like
kings. We have to realize that we have
the and the power to conquer and to
rule. We have rulership powers. Yen
always rising ranks because we have it
in us. We have it in our DNN that Hashem
created us. We are the and we [snorts]
are the kings. We mustn't we must make
sure not to allow the to switch it
around and to make an we mustn't become
slaves to our desires because twofold
two things are happening. Number one we
give up the malus and we become slaves
when we give into our and number two the
becomes the king and that makes it
increasingly difficult to break away
from him. So that's why brought the and
is establishing now that we are the mel
and as is the and that's why when asked
for
replied yes I'll give you
you should be an e of your brother
that's what you were created for to be
an e of your brother is the king and you
are the is the king and the is the
brought to it in the story of yum going
down to mit is the yates The middle
three letters of Mits are
mit is the
came down to was sold as a slave. A
slave of mit means a person is a slave
to his which means that the is the king
is the king and was sold as a slave as
an ever but that's not true that's not
the right way of doing it is the one
that evoked the look what happened to
yik rose from being an e to becoming a
meal because he conquered he conquered
his sahara and if you conquer your
sahara you become a ruler you become a
meal so yik became the melik mitim. This
story of Ysef rising from an e to mitry
was mav clarified who is the who is the
melik and who is the eved even though he
began as an eved but he's not a melik
he's not an e he's a melik and therefore
he rose the ranks and he actually became
a meal and this whole par of the yak and
the boys the brothers coming down to
mitim is all revolves around this in the
most beautiful and fascinating way
sends a wagons to bring his father down
to mitim The mafarim say that agalis was
something that was only used by kings.
Mitrime had a hakada that only agalis
belonged to the king. If you wanted to
use a galis, you needed special
permission from the king. Kazal said
that yakina was supposed to come down to
mit in chains like an e. How did he come
down to mitime? He came down to mit in a
he came down to mit like a king because
this is the whole story of mitim yateser
that the yeden are kings and the yeetser
is the eve.
It says the Pik says that when when
Yseph revealed himself and the Mitim
found out who Yseph really is, what his
is the says
and were pleased when they found out
that Yseph is he's why were they so
pleased? Says and others say that the
Mit were very embarrassed with Yseph
becoming the king.
They they only knew about Ysephic as an
Ev because he came down to Mit as an Ev.
So all they knew about Yatic is that he
wasn't Ev and he became a king. That was
embarrassing and Ev becomes a king.
However, when they heard Yseph's
that Yseph is a son of Yak is a son of a
son of Ara and Ara they said
was looked at as a king. A is called
he's like the king. So when they found
out Y is they found out that Y is not
supposed to be in Y is a king. So look
at what's going on over here. What's
going on over here in M is that it's
being this barer it's being clarified
more and more the shas of Yseph and his
father and his ancestry to the idea of
the meal that we are.
The pos there says that Yseph sent to
his younger brother
sent
he sent five garments to you to Biny.
What were these five garments says
that hey was hinting to the story of
came from the tribe of and says
is the five big day that wore and listen
how fascinating this is
everyone bowing down to him
says I'm bowing to You kazal say that mo
said to him you're my you
the you're the and I'm the it's just the
opposite it's just the opposite say that
had a document that hmon was penalous
and he was hungry and and and and he
sold himself to mk as a slave that m
should feed him years back years before.
So what was the emus over here? The emus
is that Hmon is an EV and Mai is a
Malik. And if Mai is a Malik even though
he was wearing sackloth because of the
but a decree went out from the king that
Hmon has to dress Mardai like an ever
dresses the Malik with which clothes
with Malus and he has to ride him on the
king's horse and Mkai is being paraded.
It's a bish at the end of the migilla
when mkai went out with with malus then
already he was highly promoted in the
malus but in the middle the first time
hmon mka was paraded in the streets for
malus what's that all about he was
wearing sackcloth he the sackloth was
taken off they put on big malus he was
paraded the streets he got off the horse
put back his sackcloth what's the tless
of all this the answer is that it's
nisbar this beautiful
hmon you're my Get down on the ground,
says the says the medish in the get down
on the ground. I've got to climb on you
to climb on the horse. Modkai Mkai Mkai
degraded Hmon. He humiliated Hmon
because Hmon is the and is the Melik.
What's the whole story of Purim? The
whole story of Purim is what does mean?
Means here it's got to be in this bar.
Who is the Melik and who is the EV? Hmon
is the Melik. Hmon is the Odon. Mk is an
Ev. and kazal say that because of the
yeden were were begging the to buy
them as slaves as aim in order to save
them from the decree. So look how bad
things were. It seemed that Amish is the
and and Hmon is like the Melik. But hey,
Mkai said, "No, no, no, no, no, no. It's
Mish the opposite. You are the and I am
the Melik and we'll see who is going to
ride who and who is going to parade who
in the streets."
So
understood this. That's why he sent out
understood because Yatalik was also an
but rose and became the king. So yalik
knew only two well who is the and who is
the melik and therefore he was the story
of purim where there's the varus who is
the and who's the mel purim is the and
this same who occurred to yadik who
began as an and became a melik and
that's why
of purim is the month of sadik
so this is really what we have to take
with us into golas even if we even know
it's mit We became aim we were aim but
nevertheless the beginning of in this
week's para the says says to
and we said earlier that is a mel when
we go down to we're going down to we
have to know who is the mel and who is
the
have to remain that's why
a lavush is always something that is
that is royal you have a special we
means The arm is retained because they
felt royal, they felt noblemen even when
they were
and this was all the of the whole story
of so that's the connection of the end
of to the beginning of to the beginning
of sorry to the end of braces the
beginning of sius the beginning of
sraces is given the the the task of
being a malik he was given the task of
being a conqueror but he fell for the
yates for the sadas and he became an e
to the
And the beer through Yakim and through
Ysef and through Yah the brothers coming
down to Mitr was to reveal that Ysef is
the king. If you conquer, you're the
king. And the brothers came down as
kings. And this is how we go down into
G. This is how we go down into
it's an it's an unbelievable thing that
says in that if a person if a person
doesn't become an ever to theor then he
can use the concept of aus to have to to
be an hashem. Who is an hashem? Somebody
that is not an ever to the hor. If
you're not an ever to the sahara then
you are an hashem. So if a ye feels that
he's a meal and that's how he conquers
the then he is an hashem at the same
time and that's why that represents
malus we say
why is the king called an because if you
know you're a king then you can be anem
if you know you're a king then you're an
evidashem then you're an evidashem
that's why when we left mitim we were
king crowns were placed on our heads And
says
because the whole idea of is to feel
like even whilst in actuality we're to
feel like that's why when we left Hashem
gave us all the cover in the world. We
were wrapped around
and crowns were placed when we said
and was
therefore straight after Matra comes
Pashious Mishbim and what's the story at
the beginning of Parisim the EV who sold
himself as a as an EV to a to a to a
person a ye who sells himself as an EV
to a bus of Adam and who doesn't want to
go out after six years you make a hole
in his ear and as Rashi brings down that
hari's
ears heard saying you are myim where did
hear that at hari the terret says that
hari was a mime of malus and if we
become
then automatically we take the concept
of abdus and become a hashem so matra
two thing two things happen number one
we were like malim And number two we
were
so therefore straight after
you choosing to be an ever to a whole
where you were was in order to make you
of how can you sell yourself to become
of a so this is the that we take in we
take with us to realize that we are all
aid us to realize that he has the to
conquer theor to be on top to rule over
his not to forget that we
This is the story. This is what Jacob
and Ysef and the brothers were. We
should beem
to the gulma.
Amen.
