yibbana bait midrash a warm welcome a
very warm welcome back to torah
we are in parties of
okay we're going to talk about of course
we always do very fundamental issues
number one and we use the clear car as
the basis for our discussion
and i encourage everyone who's watching
this to go into the links below
and you will find
a link to the source sheets you can find
the hebrew source sheets through
following a link that will tell you
right the the web page and then you
actually have to find the exact book
and the parsha and the right year and i
encourage you to follow because
listen you got to learn hebrew you have
to learn hebrew i'm still learning as we
found out tonight right i'm still
learning okay
so here we go
we're talking about the fact that in
chapter 47 verse 28 now it's amazing how
does ch how does
in the middle of a chapter verse 28
begin a whole new book
well we're going to find out first of
all ezra sofia
right who is he right well the last of
the prophets he's the one who supposedly
right divided up as we will call it
divisions of the different parshiots i
mentioned last week or perhaps the week
before that but the term was given to
moses
and we had an obligation while moses was
alive he instituted it to have public
torah reading three times actually it
was really four times a week but there
was not to be three days without a
public toe reading do you remember we
were in the desert we said we're thirsty
we had three days without water the
water itself the life-giving force is
the torah
and moses instituted no such
event can happen where three days will
pass without a public tour reading and i
mentioned that we could read anything we
wanted as long as with the torah
like there were certain exceptions like
the hagim
during the festivals themselves we did
have to already read
from moses's time
special parshiot on the
but it was ezra who instituted the
weekly readings as we now have them
okay i discussed whether it was a yearly
cycle or a three year cycle but we're
not going to get into that now but the
point is that the number system that we
have is not a jewish number system we
adopted it from the times
at least you know as far back as the
ramban and probably even before that
when the christians forced us to have uh
disputations
what do you call them not just debates
but
whenever you won you automatically lost
right if you won against the church
you were considered a loser in the
church's eyes because they basically uh
you know it was rigged it was rigged it
was fake news misinformation
okay so we had a problem
[Music]
okay so believe it or not we're starting
a chapter but guess what this chapter is
called a closed i should paragraph it's
a closed paragraph okay now what i want
you to do is use the imagination
for those who know what a typewriter is
when you start a new paragraph
you can hit the enter i guess or i'm
talking about an electric typewriter not
one of those old ones where you switch
it but let's let's say you hit enter and
you begin a new paragraph it already
goes down to a new line and you can
start a new paragraph or you can hit the
tab mark
and uh so basically what a closed
paragraph usually is is where it's
preset to nine empty spaces
it would be the same line but there's a
empty space between the last letter of
the last sentence and the first letter
of the new paragraph but it's on the
same line that's called in
in technical terms a closed paragraph
and then there's an open paragraph where
you would hit the enter and it would
become on a new line it would start on a
new line
happens to be this parsha is closed not
just closed but entirely closed there's
no
nine letter spacings there's only a
single space between the last letter of
last week's parsha and the first letter
of this week's parsha that's going to be
significant and we're going to read the
first thing the clio card brings down is
a measure now i want you to compare this
measures to what rashi says so keep them
in front of you
actually on the english sheets you have
uh the difference between rashi number
one
and what you see on number four okay
number four is the medrash that we're
going to quote
so he says he be the clear car begins by
saying lama parsha
why is this parser closed which is a
legitimate question even if it wasn't
entirely closed
but because it's entirely closed it
makes the
it strengthens the question it's a very
strong question
the first answer that the um that the
measure says is since
yaakov passed away
he was niftar
that's the that that was the cause
that's when the
subjugation the slavery began now that's
the first answer
similar to rashi let's
why is this section complete completely
closed obviously completely means one
space
because as soon as our father yaakov
passed away
the eyes and heart of israel were closed
captioning not available
sought he desired to reveal the end days
meaning
when meshiach would come
right when the glory of hashem would
fill the whole world and all the nations
would serve hashem
that's what we're all looking forward to
and that was
removed from him it was hidden it was
closed it was closed off to him now
let's look at the second answer in rashi
another explanation that he yaakov
attempted to real reveal the end of the
exile to his sons but it was closed off
concealed from him okay
now just notice the message brings a
third reason but rashi doesn't bring it
and that's going to be a question that
the clear car will
address
the third reason the medrash brings down
soros
that was either closed off from him or
hidden from yaakov
all of the
all the troubles of the world
now
we don't have to go into because rashid
doesn't mention it but we will have to
discuss it now the um the clear car
brings a fascinating statement at the
end these last two words but we'll see
he says
this is the version this is the text
that you find in braishid rabbah
96a and that's true we just read it
now imagine this what's a drusha anyway
adrasha is
expounding to see the depth and the
hints within the verse that discuss a
very deep principle
now what is he saying is
apparently i'm just using that word
allegedly apparently
there isn't really anything within these
this verse that we just read
uh verse 47 28 and yaakov lived in the
land of egypt for 17 years and jacob's
days the years of his life for 147 years
where do you see all those ideas wrapped
in
that text that needed to be unfolded and
expounded upon you really don't
so the last two words he says is the
coulomb
commit
as if they are
someone's imagination i mean the root
word here is like prophecy and i don't
think he means literally like prophecy
but he's using the word like like
all of them are as if
it was just made up of visions like it's
a really good question when you see a
medrash and it's based on a verse
where within that verse you have to ask
yourself where within that verse can it
be unfolded can you unravel it
and bring it forth and this is hopefully
when you see
how it's done here
you could apply this really anywhere
when you realize the depth and you have
to think you have to really work to make
these connections
you'll see it anywhere that wow
you go deeper and deeper and you'll see
that it's really there
okay so the next paragraph begins like
this vasher neroli bazaar
this is how i see it he says
as larry mentioned right this what we
find here
this type of closed parsha
is not the way you find other closed
partial throughout the torah shieshbeim
because what you normally find in those
other closed
paragraphs is a space a letter space of
nine letter spaces here you have a
single space
the khan in rev
meaning there's no additional space at
all here
and this is going to be the answer how
we're going to unravel everything
together he says what ezra has so far
remember ezra did not
decide where the spaces were he just
decided where to start the new
um let's say parsha for us to read
okay
but he's saying like this that ezra
sopher started this paragraph
specifically where there is no letter
spacing in order that we should
understand that it's connected
to the previous verse
right to the juxtaposition of leaning
this verse
to this uh to the previous verse the
previous verse go and look what the
previous verse says because we're going
to read it in a second
that's verse 27 in the same chapter
thus israel settled in the land of egypt
in the region of goshen they acquired
property in it and they were fruitful
and multiplied greatly
okay and um
i'll just read the hebrew the yeshiva
eretz goshen right he settled yaakov
said older israel said we're talking
about yaakov he settled in the land of
goshen and actually we're talking about
the people of israel
the khazubo
and they had a real estate holdings they
were very prosperous they knew right
every jew knows you can invest invest in
what
real estate
the yipro of the yearboom owed and they
also grew mightily populous
and yaakov lived yaakov lived because he
got to see israel go through all these
processes number one that they were yea
shaved yay shave is an indication of
shalva shava is an indication of
a peaceful existence
and the khazubo
is wealth they had a
okay i know assimilation is is not such
a good thing
and with buying so much property outside
the land of israel we're going to see is
also not such a great thing but
nevertheless if you're talking about
being prosperous or not prosperous
obviously it's better to be prosperous
and they also multiply greatly as the
verse says
and then yaakov lived so we're going to
see that connection
if we read it as if it's all one verse
don't stop with a period of pasuk don't
stop read it in your mind's eye
that yaakov's the israel settled meaning
that the yaakov's children settled in
the land of goshen
they were living peacefully and they had
holdings real estate holdings
and they he got to see so many children
and grandchildren and whatnot okay as if
it's all one verse
and therefore
we're going to see it
you can divide up that those verses the
the first verse connected with the
when i said the first verse i mean the
previous verse 27
as there's three
distinctions there's three distinctions
there's three distinct languages
and that is where you're going to
understand that's where you're going to
pull out that's where you're going to
unravel that's where you're going to
hear that's what the word mash maut
means you're going to hear it's going to
be understood
how they made these drushes
okay so the first language we saw in
rashi already
kila
ready for this how did this how do you
expound the first language the first
example that we said when yaakov was
nifter the sheboot began
now i just want to warn you already
because he's going to take this and
divide this into two things
one is the sheboot began when yaakov
died
and he's going to flip it around and
he's going to say
yaakov died because the sheboot began
but let's see the first answer first
que vanci nifter yaakov
right since we're already expressing
that the the patira the yaakov's death
caused let's say that's when when yaakov
died the sheba began
we're actually going to connect the
verse 27 to 28 in the following way
mithril
meaning in verse 27 it originally said
the yeay shade yesterday ocean that
israel the jewish people
israel's
progeny they settled the word settling
in this particular place hijra bolasian
the very fact that it uses the word
yeshiva
it indicates there was a peaceful
existence
and the fact that they acquired property
lim gam
they also had real estate holdings in
the land they acquired property
the year proved the yearboom and the
very fact that it says they had so many
children right they were fruitful
multiplied greatly
all of that happened at the time that
yaakov was alive
what we called
here in this case it was the abbas of
israel's children as long as yaakov was
alive and he was such a great sadiq
right that the merit that he carried
with him remember even the seven years
of plenty which did take place there was
supposed to be seven years of famine you
know that he came down in the second
year and as soon as he reached egypt the
famine was over
right that sada comes into town and
things
blossomed
right just imagine
so what happens is while he was still
alive the merit of yaakov stood up for
them the it that's why they merited all
these three things the shovel so to
speak the real estate and the
and the the multitudes
now if that's true mikhlov
then what that infers
you can understand that when he died
that as soon as he died his obvious
merit passed with him and everything
stopped there was no longer
these three things no more shava no more
real estate holdings and no more
multiplying so greatly
why kilo electric
again we're speaking to the fact that
the sheba began i want to mention the
sheba really began in stages there was
when yaakov passed on we'll call that
the beginning okay and that's really how
he says it because it wasn't until levy
who was the last of
the tribes right even when joseph died
we know a new king arose and things were
much harder but it wasn't until lathy
died that things really became
unbearable so there's a
series
similar i don't want to mention anything
about today's political situation okay i
don't want to go i don't want to go down
that rabbit hole but we all know what
i'm talking about right to be very
careful not to abandon our freedoms and
what we know to be true with our morals
and standing up for truth and justice
but let's go on
so
as soon as um he passed on so the
yeshiva stopped and it stopped why and i
think there was a shibut that's when
this the
enslavement or the subjugation began
let me ask you something are maybe there
are countries that there's exceptions to
okay but usually slaves are not
landowners right that's how they
determine the least in the democracies
of rome
right i don't know i don't know that
much about all of history but it does
you do understand what i'm saying that
when you become when someone becomes a
slave that usually the owner the the
master acquires all that the slave
usually owns so you the slave usually is
not a landowner let's just say usually
okay
is it really true they didn't allow them
well guess what the harder they pushed
us the more we did multiply but they
didn't allow us in other words it was on
their mind and we're going to see them
one second
they knew that if they could work the
jewish men
from
you know
four o'clock in the morning until 10
o'clock at night that they would be so
exhausted
right to go home to their wives they
would have no energy to be with their
wives and if you look in exodus chapter
1 verse 9
right i think you'll find that on page
two
this was on their minds it says over
there right this is what pharaoh said to
his people behold the people of the
children of israel are more numerous and
stronger than we are get ready let us
deal shrewdly with them
interesting the hebrew there lest they
increase that's the words we want to see
pen your bet i just want to show the
words shrewdly is
right let's deal wisely with them let's
deal shrewdly with them lest they
increase and a war before us and they
join our enemies and wage war against us
and depart from the land so you see
already
that
according to this first paragraph it was
the death of yaakov the removal of his
fruit of whatever merit and
righteousness he brought into the world
left with him and left us
like orphans to a certain extent but we
lost what we call
at least
so now we're going to take that same
language but flip it around meaning it's
because of the death of yaakov that the
sheba began we're going to say now
that it could be because the hebrew
began
the slavery began yaakov died what does
that sound like to you
i know yehuda you probably have an idea
like when hashem took out abraham five
years earlier
right because god did not want him to
see
asav go off the derek we call it the tar
but
okay so because we know that avraham
died 175 yitzhak died 180 and it was
unusual let's just say unusual wasn't
the usual fashion uh for
the children to live longer than the
fathers the fathers lived shorter than
the parents it was a slow progression
from adam and eve and onward it of
course there's always exceptions okay so
the no hollomar behez you're actually
able to say even in the opposite
direction
that it was actually the beginning of
the sheba that caused yaakov's death
kikitsara
that hashem cut short yaakov's life
he didn't even reach close as i already
mentioned that avraham died 175
yitzhak lived 180
and yaakov dies 147. that's a big spread
i mean it's a bigger spread than the the
earlier fathers right
and what's the reason shalom
in order that he would not see and
witness his own children's grandchildren
what not go through
the bitter
slavery they were about to enter
kibo hazman shell and what was
approaching that time of as we know in
the brit bain batarim the covenant
between the parts you go back to genesis
15 13 you can find this on the english
english sour sheets
uh number seven
okay where it says
the inu
right they will enslave them and oppress
them
okay so the
mar
that time
needed to approach so what happens the
yik revolume israel lamut now one of my
uh students asked what does it mean the
equivalently mainstream moves and when
the time drew near for israel to die now
we're talking about yaakov we're not
talking about amistral okay
now
there's a very interesting concept here
and then you can find in breishit rabbah
that would be
964.
i do have it as number 10.
now
this is what the
summary of it basically says
the amru hazal call me shine more bokeh
whenever the tanakh says that the
persons
grew close to death to dying
la gil and mavotav it is a sign the
person did not reach
the same level of years as his
predecessors as his parents did
okay and the medrash goes on i'll show
you if you look at number 10
um
it just mentions over here um right when
we saw israel grew
close to dying so we mentioned already
that avraham look at might have here in
english avraham lived 175 yitzhak lived
180 and we know yaakov is 147. what
about moses it also says that by moses
moses uh moses lived 120 his father
lived 137 okay
also by dovid it also uses that language
that david grew um close to death
to his death
and um interesting we know that boaz
lived until 80 okay
that was his wedding night or the day
after
he lived till 80. but the medras tells
us that all together boaz oh that and
yishai if you add all their dates
together they live 400 years
not over the space of 400 years but
overlapped they all lived total of 400
years
and so anyway you can tell we don't know
exactly how oh i don't know exactly how
old oved and yeshua were but you can
pretty much tell from that that if boaz
only lived 80 and they have to all live
400 years the other two live much more
uh david only lives 70 years
okay so the medrush is very interesting
that explains what it means
when it says
when the time drew near for israel to
die it means that he did not
go close to the years of his parents uh
life
derek zae
yes
derek
interesting what he's saying is that
it's the same language you don't have to
worry when it says over there that it's
because of yaakov's death the sheba
would begin we understand it's the same
thing it's just what caused what
okay
um now something else interesting it
says um
it specifically mentions that number how
long did he live in how long did he live
in egypt 17 years
okay now
it says
shimakirato yosef
how old was joseph
when he was sold 17.
interesting so there's going to be a
parallel to the life he had
with his
bet his most favorite wife's first born
son joseph
17 years and the last
several years of his life
when after he realizes and knows now
joseph's alive and gets to spend time
with him it's another 17 years and i
want you to add up the word
yaakov lived the word lived
love is six
you'd ten
got sixteen you got another yud it's 26
and eight so you got 34. 34. 34 divided
by 2 17. 17 years then 17 years later
okay or 17 years earlier how are we
going to look at it
so that's when he lived he really lived
with his love
for his favorite son as we know
and that that's when he really lives so
look at the clear car so he says
when joseph was sold he was 17 years old
gauram lehem shalom
yoshvu beshav mitsuram
that he only lived in egypt those 17
years that were full of shabba full of
tranquility and peace
okay now we're going to go to and we're
skipping number um
we're skipping the second
thing that rashi said and we're skipping
the second thing that the measure says
and you know why we're skipping it
because we're going to talk about it in
great detail we're now going on to the
third point and not only went to the
third point we're also trying to
understand why it wasn't even mentioned
by rashi
okay so in other words it's mentioned in
the madrish but not by rashi
the fishes
right that's what we saw in the medrash
the third point because god closed off
from him
all of the pains of the world
jomar katuv now we understood
that
bizarre of the gerus now in um
chapter 47 verse 9
when pharaoh sees yaakov for the first
time
he couldn't imagine look at this guy
he's really old now look
he only knew joseph joseph was one of
the
the children that he had later in life
so these children were already grown up
and
yaakov was much older but nevertheless
it could be that yaakov also
portrayed himself
as someone who really lived a hard life
and there's some criticism regarding
that we're not going to go into that
right now
but
he did have a very tough life and it
showed right you ever see people who
really have a hard life it really shows
on their face
you know i don't want to say through
wrinkles and whatnot it just it it
shines through their face what their
life experience had been
so that verse over there says the the
days of my sojournings are 130 years old
and they have been few and miserable
right yemen
they were small in number and they were
miserable let's say
so
most of
yaakov's life there's no question about
it that they were full of sarah
and geroot i mean he was on the run from
his brother right well he did spend 14
years in yeshiva but
besides that
running and working like a slave by love
on and then coming back and having to
deal with his brother all over again
and then when he
hears about his own child not even sure
if he's better alive because there's no
closure there's no closure there right i
mean that was devastating enough to
think he's dead but not even to know for
sure
so much
uh
so there was a great amount of peace and
contentment within those 17 years
sure yeshivas
of the year of the yearbook when he was
able to see his own children in those
three remember the three subjects we
mentioned the shalva the real estate
holdings as well as
having so many children
can you imagine
when you
if you had gone through such
trials and tribulations of your life and
now you're in your older age and you see
your grandchildren all playing together
and you have all this wealth and it's
just there's a lot of peace you would
what you would forget
i think you would forget it would be
meaningless all the troubles that you
had in your earlier
time space of time or it would
all be meaningful it was in other words
the trials and tribulations that you
went through to get to where you're at
it was all worth it so either it's all
worth it and you're no longer thinking
about it it's so
much not on your mind
okay so that's what it means over here
when he says
call it sorrows
as if they never were
right we're on a journey
and you don't you you know you it was
like i think about women
having children
i don't know i never had given birth
but i know that i mean i was told that
it's very painful
extremely painful to the point that i
don't understand why they do it again
okay it must be
that god
created some enzymes some chemicals
that helps them block out that pain
it's like forgotten
because once they see that child
and they're whether they're nursing it
or just cuddling it or just holding it i
don't know i'm not i can't even imagine
what it go what it is but i do know that
women do come back for more right it
just happens right it's
i i think and maybe someone can write in
the comments below or comment that this
is very similar right the journey you go
through to to come out on on the other
end in a much more better place
sometimes there's a blockage right there
sometimes you you
naturally block things out anyway it's
as if it never even happened the
chocolate mar now we understand in the
verse
28 our verse
the full amount of days of yaakov of the
days of his life were 40
147 years kiosim shloshmat shanim
lo
if you really think about it those
hundred and thirty years
were not even included at all
in the yemen
in other words the only thing it really
was then it was meaningful at this point
was the full 17 years at the end of his
life
um
okay the akshaya of lima
and basically right now at this point
he looked like retroactively
he considered all of his life so full of
life
okay and that's really what what what it
came down to zelefish and nismenu call
it sauro
and that's because nistamu became closed
or forgotten
all of the
trials and tribulations that had already
passed by
and it was this as it was as if his
entire life was full it was pleasant and
it was sweet
right because the last 17 years were so
good they were so rich
in
in pleasantness and and in joy
that it was if his whole life was full
of joy
shrey been met yosef
and this is really truly living
and that's why we say that it's it's a
closed parsha it's all together and it
immediately says and yaakov lived
el paso cocodem it's all connected to
the previous verse
now he mentions here that that rashi
left out that third point
think about the word
what does it sound like we're in a
shemitah year shemitah means to release
shemitah means to
well in in terms of like the land
whether it's a
you're going to let life fallow
right or in the case of money we release
our debts there's a release going on so
rashi left out this explanation
why so he gives an answer leficia near a
low shahinu
halasha
because it's really no different than
the first answer that rashi gave or
let's just say it's no different than
the first statement in the medrash
okay we said the first statement the
medrash if you look at it again
look at the rash if you want why is this
section completely closed because as
soon as our father jacob passed away
the eyes in the heart of israel were
closed
it became dark for them because of the
misery of the slavery
so just replace slavery with all the
past
okay
so that's how now he mentions one more
thing here
uh casher who
are
lame
this should become clear to anybody who
has even a little bit of understanding
to contemplate the slightest in this
okay
so now we will discuss that middle
answer of rashi and i'll just repeat
again what it was because it's so
interesting the well it's the second
answer of rashi it's the middle of the
um
of the medrush since yaakov sought to
reveal the ends ties it was closed off
to him
rashi says that he jacob attempted to
reveal the end of the exile meaning the
final exile the end of the end of days
to his sons but it was closed off it was
concealed from him
and here we go drum roll please
there we go
the way we can expound unravel and
understand this better
shabby cash legolo takes
yaakov wanted to reveal the end times
the nisthalka me menu
but the divine presence was removed from
him
the fee shabbat
this is actually coming to answer
what was said what was said in our verse
in verse 28.
what do you why does the torah even need
to tell me that he lived 17 years in
israel in in egypt
couldn't anybody who knows the verses
figure that out if he when he came into
egypt he said i'm 130 right that's how
he that's he admits to to pharaoh these
130 and the turret tells me he died 147
so anybody even without a calculator
correct
almost anybody without a calculator
could figure out that he lived in egypt
for 17 years so why does the torah have
to go out of its way to explain to me
that he lived in egypt for 17 years well
my commandment so what is being taught
to me why is it being taught to me
there's got to be a reason
like i said
is it we don't know is that anybody
doesn't know all you have to read all
you have to do is read the text
charade beverly parrot write in verse 47
verse nine chapter 47 verse nine
it says you may meet goraish loshim
umachana the days of my sojourns were
130 years
now if that's the case
then why does the tour have to go out of
its way to tell me
that he lived for 17 years
and not only that he the clear car
mentions that this idea of telling you
where people live for how long is not
mentioned by anybody else
in zev
it doesn't mention by abraham isaac or
other the mothers
a levadai but with absolute certainty
shibola horus
means separate that it comes to teach
you that the sheena separated from him
lefician and mar lamala
back in chapter 45 verse 27.
what does it say over there
you'll find this number 12
right when the brothers first come and
tell
yaakov
that joseph is still alive
it says and they told him joseph is
still alive
they told him he ruled over the entire
land of egypt his heart changed he did
not believe them do you understand for
for how for what 22 years
he thought he was dead
no that's not the only reason
he believed in the first time
we're going to learn about people who
lie
people who lie it's like what the boy
the cried wolf what what's that story
about i don't know it's a story but
let's just say the term the term is that
if you tell a lie and then you tell
another lie and then you finally tell
the truth are is anybody going to
believe you
that's that's the boy the cried wolf
right without going into the story
because i don't really know it so well
i'm not a good storyteller that's why i
stick to the text okay so but it says he
didn't believe them
and they told him all of joseph's words
that he said to them and he saw the
wagons the yosef had sent to carry him
and that point the spirit of their
father yaakov was revived and that's the
point i want to show you because that's
the words he says
it was at that point now we're not going
to go into what the vision that he saw
of the agolot i mean i'll just say
briefly i don't want to spend that much
time on it but apparently this
particular suggest this concept of
agalot or let's say egg larufa there was
yaakov spent a lot of time learning with
yosef and one of the last things they
learned maybe was the last thing they
learned was about aguilarufa what to do
when you find
a
dead body in between two cities right
this is a torah it's in the torah it's a
concept about finding a murdered subject
and the very fact that he sent the ago
somehow helped this um his father to
know it was really him and he really is
alive i don't want to go into that
what we're concluding here is that with
absolute certainty this is coming to
teach us that the shrine had departed
from him
because it says above in chapter 45 27
that the spirit came back to him what
does it mean it came back to him it
means it had to have left
got it it had left him and that's what
we're focusing on should perusal the
explanation is sharosso lava shrine that
the shrine did rest on him
yakov the very fact that it says
the spirit of yaakov
now these words you'll find a lot in
learning
the salt
you might have thought
shirata
was filled with the spirit
perhaps from day one of his life until
the end or at least even from the time
of
when it was revived from him until the
day of his death
let's use let's say that commash milan
know
that
mitzrayim from the very fact it says
yaakov lived as yehuda mentioned earlier
emphasizing that was really living the
akov
when he actually came to israel to
mitzrayim
he was really alive and he was alive the
whole time until the day of his death
lo ruach yaakov but not necessarily the
spirit of yaakov that did not last till
the very last breath that was taken away
from him
that mistake
when he wanted to reveal the end days
and now look in chapter 46 verse 30.
it's a little bit of
you have to take a little bit of an
effort because israel says to joseph
yaakov says to joseph when he sees him
for the first time after 22 years he's
he says i will die this time
since i have seen your face that you are
still alive a mutu
i'm going to die now look in the rashi
it's sim in its simple meaning as the
target renders if i should die this time
i would be consoled okay i already
thought you were dead once and i died
once now i'll at least i'm consoled but
the midrashic interpretation is
i thought i would die two deaths
what what does it mean two deaths one in
this world i would physically die in
this world and i hold myself responsible
remember that what we talked about
yehuda in last week's parsha holding
himself responsible too he held himself
responsible even to be extinguished in
the world to come
because the shrine had left me so i
thought that god was holding me
responsible for your death but now that
you are still alive i'm only going to
die of a physical death i've been
absolved so to speak
from
the uh the the spiritual death i'm not
responsible okay
so i'm cain
apparently at this point in time
right meaning what
we're talking about his deathbed now
he was
really in a position where he was
prepared to give over
his last will and testament and that
included the revelation of the end times
and guess what so since he was willing
to give over his last will and testament
hashem realized this man yaakov
is what he called
a little bit of a free spirit a little
bit untamed i don't know he might reveal
the end times because he's really
feeling the spirit
so i'm going to i'm going to take away
that opportunity al cain is talking
so the sheena was removed from him so he
could not reveal the end times
now
the dialogue is a timeless
menu according to the clicky car we
still don't really fully understand
why the sheena was removed from
yaakov
al kinbot parishes zustuma and that's
why the parsha becomes comes closed
meaning with the smith of verse 27 to
verse 28 that what the israel dwelt in
the land of goshen
goddammit
are you guys aware of how much damage
can cause the jewish people if the end
date the date of the messiah of the
final
you know
exile's over
do you know what damage can happen
people would stop praying people would
stop doing shuva if it's hundreds of
years away
people would assimilate people would
give up all kinds of hope
right one of the 13 principles of our
faith is that any day now
any day we're always anticipating the
coming of the meshiach if it was known
and wait till you hear how he is going
to give it
rebuke to those people
who even our generation and we don't
even know and we still don't hope for
the meshiach how tragic that is for the
jewish people
so he says according to
if it was well known
the damage that would result from
knowing it kiadora said code mean
because any generation that came before
that known time
how you
that the redemption would not occur in
their lifetime
lo yidrosu espine hashem
they would no longer seek to know the
presence of god
levakes
and to seek out and request
the redemption the altamura nor of its
worth and value
kapish mingbae
here we go now we're in the final
stretch
so too the the safer called the ikeda he
explains this madrish
where it says like this
because should be quest of the gullos
arcades
when yaakov wanted to reveal the end
days
americas barclay you know what god said
to him
now listen to what it says in isaiah
isaiah chapter 43
verse 23
this is tragic
isaiah is giving the people rebuke
hundreds of years later
but you did not call me
oh jacob
for you weird of me o israel right you
gave up hope so to speak you weren't
looking towards the final redemption on
a daily basis you didn't call for me
okay now look at the clear car what does
it mean when isaiah says velo oti karata
yaakov you no longer called my name
you were no longer
interested in my honor you were no
longer
having pity on god's own honor when we
go into exile god's in exile who do we
want to get out of exile is it just us
oh please get me out of exile or is it i
want to bring god with me out of exile
it's an amazing thought remember we're
partners with god and he went down into
exile with us and as you can see where
is god in this world he's hidden right
hester punting even said i will surely
hide my face
well guess what he's in exile we should
be sleeping we should be waking up all
night in the middle of the night and
worrying about the the the hashem's
presence who is in exile
kim mia diaz
now if you would have known
the this um
this date
so this is from knowing this it has
great damage slow yikro see you're going
to end up not calling for me you're not
going to be seeking me out
follow you vaccine
you're not going to be looking for me
all those previous generations before
the final date the vaccine they shave
yeshiva shall kevin
and i'm giving this as very strong
rebuke to all those jews to all those
yiddin to all those members of the tribe
to all those
brothers and sisters out there listen to
what he says
that if you give up any hope of any
redemption you're going to look for a
permanence a a yeshiva shall keva
in the land of the nations
in france australia america
canada
brazil you name it
what you're going to do you're going to
look for real estate holdings in the
land of the of the of the nations like
permanent residents
who commit yashim inagula and you will
give up all hope you will despair of
ever being redeemed
this is the reason why god has
closed off removed from yaakov the
ability to tell over the date because
the date would be very damaging
kade should be called
so that each and every generation is
looking and searching and desiring the
face of god
that david malcolm
and the messiah and king dave so in
other words we're looking forward to the
the heavenly kingdom coming and the
earthly kingdom coming
right
david's kingdom on earth below you
vaccinated
and stop
looking
searching desiring to be permanent
residents amongst the nations the land
of the nations
but rather what should you be doing
anticipating
the final end and the salvation
constantly always every minute of the
day
400 years ago and he says just as our
sins on account of our sins this
character trait is found amongst us
today four hundred years ago he says
this a filibus manchester inakite's
nodea even when we don't know can you
imagine if we didn't know how bad it is
and how much worse it is when we don't
know and we don't even care
we don't even care
we're not interested at all
become a komrabi mahema ameres but you
know why that's because these people are
ignoramuses these jews
i'm included okay we're ignorances we're
we're we're not learning we're so set
we're so far from torah
um
we are living amongst the gentiles in
gentile countries
i feel like crying
and they build for themselves
palaces big big homes
so important that they're built of these
stones that will never disintegrate
right the highest level marble you can
imagine right
binyan
a building that will never disintegrate
it will land last forever
and it's for that very reason they're
going to end up not looking forward to
the redemption how could you leave that
home
you built that home
you
you sunk your entire uh you know
whatever it is you're into these
buildings and last forever so you're a
nun
you're not using your entire heart
you're putting your right when you say
put your money where your mouth is put
your mouth where your money is right
make sure it's consistently for hashem
and foreign
right they no longer are looking to
return to the land of israel
therefore god is going to leave them
there just think about it how many jews
left egypt what does rashi say
four-fifths of the jews died in egypt
because they didn't want to leave
do you understand what that means where
are you on this
scale
right do you are you guys ready i mean
everyone in this room
you're here
everybody watching this is not here
right
this is a strong rebuke
now according to this thesis
that very verse the yeshiva israel
bahrain's goshen that israel dwelt in
the land of goshen and this is what
yochanan was saying earlier
but
israel it's actually
relating to the guilt of the jewish
people again we spoke about the fact
that
yaakov is supposed to megure yaakov is
supposed to even though he's a
gervatoshav avraham was aguero you have
to go back and listen to the previous
previous par shield right gervatoshov
it's okay but you have to be a gayer
a gear a true wanderer right this world
is not our permanent world we're just
passing through
so the word the yeashe israel dwelt
it's speaking about the guilt of the
jewish people shibikshi leo toshavim
they wanted a piece of the rock they
wanted a piece of property they wanted
to be a dwellers in a land that wasn't
theirs
venezuelan and as a result damage came
to them leficia kate's galoot mitsray
and the actual knowledge they knew they
were leaving in 400 years from the time
of the birth of yitzhak they knew that
they knew that it was not going to be
right the brit bait of atari the the
covenant between the parts said you will
be
right strangers in a strange land for
four hundred years so they knew
al canadores show noise
therefore those earlier generations a
sherloyo bibirur kilobia mayhem to ya
gulagi which they knew those earlier
generations knew with absolute clarity
that the
redemption would not happen in their
time it was only going to happen at the
end they were only in israel in easier
210 years so if you were there in the
first 80 or 120 or 170 right before the
210th year you would have thought you're
not you're not going to be redeemed
so they knew that they weren't going to
be redeemed in their lifetime bikshalem
yeshiva keva they're the ones that
sought this yeshiva shokeva a permanency
the his embarrassment's rhyme and a
stronghold in the land of egypt
and that's why there's this
there's this juxtaposition there's the
closeness of that verse which we just
read 27 to the first couple words the
hiyakov
lived to teach you what
shines exactly
in other words that this nasdaq this
damage is drawn forth to that generation
because it was known to them they knew
the end would be
that cause is yaakov to live
that can only cause you to live
below
but not the spirit of yaakov
it was yaakov was only alive he didn't
have that spirit
kadesha yegala kate sacharon in order
not to reveal this end times
so that this damage do not get spread to
our generations to any generations that
come afterwards and i i i know there are
certain i might even call them rabbis i
don't know who they are right who have
come out and told you this is going to
happen it's going to happen and then the
redemption is going to come guaranteed
okay
we don't do that right khazal has
so strong words such strong words
against trying to make any predictions
it's always good to say it could happen
tomorrow and i don't see why it can't
happen tomorrow
but to make such a strong prediction
that it has to happen tomorrow is off
the table okay so those who are wise
can read the stars so to speak read the
psukim
and let you know you have to have hope
and what you have to do is true of
course
and keep learning torah keep doing
mitzvahs and and never give up what they
call the end zone and no matter how far
you are there's kvitsa derek there's all
kinds of miracles all kinds of ways
where you can advance as we know and i
know the isaiah speaks about ahishana
vito right it can happen in its time
which is the year 6000 or
hisham
means quickly as the verse says quickly
in its time and therefore i give you all
bracha that we should all be looking
forward to the final redemption as we
finish the book of genesis of brexit and
we begin next week partial
so shabbat shalom have a great life
and we'll see you next week
