Rabbi Moshe Haber: Yosef's Exile, Identity, and Connection to God 10.10.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  So let's do that. What's the connection USF and
• 0:02
  Asuka and Sheila? So the connection USF and is the
• 0:06
  guide actually quite easy. There are two.
• 0:11
  One is the fact that Saifa Sadiq was a person.
• 0:18
  He's the greatest example that we have of an individual being
• 0:22
  in Galut. You know, Saifa Sadiq went into
• 0:24
  Galut, which before we did, because he was sold as a slave.
• 0:29
  And when he was sold as a slave, that's considered a precursor to
• 0:33
  Venezia eventually being coming slaves in Egypt.
• 0:36
  And it's considered a, so to speak, a preparation for what's
• 0:41
  going to happen to us. And his mindset while being a
• 0:44
  slave was the entire time that he still stuck to Hashem.
• 0:51
  And the example of yourself, for example, in the House of Otifar
• 0:54
  where the wife with the fire tried to grab him, grab his
• 0:57
  jacket and he ran out, that was an example of a person being
• 1:01
  connected to a shin. And everybody's telling us
• 1:04
  that's probably consider the greatest situation of overcoming
• 1:08
  the incident. Why is the example of yourself
• 1:11
  in that home a great example of overcoming the incident?
• 1:15
  The reason is, is because you've been thinking about his mindset
• 1:18
  at the time. He was completely in no man's
• 1:21
  land without any plan of getting out.
• 1:24
  There's nobody around. There's no one's going to report
• 1:27
  on the incident. There's no and his family had
• 1:30
  abandoned him. His family actually sold them
• 1:32
  away. His father thinks he died is 0
• 1:36
  connection to the old world. I feel safe to be able to still
• 1:40
  act in a way that's connected to Hashem and control himself in a
• 1:45
  way that's considered the greatest strength of the inside
• 1:48
  ever was an unbelievable ability to have a relationship with
• 1:51
  Hashem even while in Duluth now is the power of yourself.
• 1:57
  And that was all of us a preparation for what happened to
• 2:01
  Amisel going into Messiah because although Amisel fell
• 2:06
  very to very low, very deep lows in Messiah, we did have he did
• 2:14
  have four ways that braze cell remains strong even while in
• 2:20
  Messiah man. These are ways connected to Osen
• 2:23
  and that is that we didn't change our names.
• 2:25
  We didn't change our clothing. We didn't change what else?
• 2:29
  Our names, our clothing, our speech and we also didn't change
• 2:33
  actually see interesting thing is all right, we didn't speak,
• 2:39
  but the big three are our names, our clothing and our speech.
• 2:43
  Yourself kept these, me Dorothy kept these ways before we did,
• 2:50
  when he was in the sign, before we were.
• 2:52
  He kept these ways. He gave his family names that
• 2:56
  were Jewish names. Ephraim and Menashe were Jewish
• 2:59
  names. He kept our kind of names.
• 3:03
  The Sif also kept the way he spoke.
• 3:08
  What does he mean he kept the way he spoke?
• 3:10
  Yourself he spoke about Paruch Hashem, he said he mentioned
• 3:15
  Hashem name all time. Sham, Shamayam, Shagur, Befi.
• 3:18
  The name of Hashem was on his mouth at all time.
• 3:21
  So yourself was the one, the first person who while in exile
• 3:26
  on his own was able to remain crackdown sham and he kept the
• 3:31
  way he dressed. What does it mean?
• 3:32
  He kept the way he dressed? When the wife of Potiphar
• 3:36
  grabbed him and she held on to his jacket, he ran out.
• 3:41
  What was the jacket for? The jacket, according to many,
• 3:44
  was was it no, no. Was the jacket's falling game?
• 3:48
  Was not no, excuse me, but he was just like you do.
• 3:51
  It wasn't that jacket couldn't have been is the brothers took
• 3:54
  that job back that far? No, the father.
• 3:56
  But the point is you to save yourself was the first person
• 4:00
  who while in exile acted fully like a Jew.
• 4:04
  How does that relate to the sukkah gentlemen?
• 4:07
  How does yourself being in exile related to the sukkah?
• 4:10
  The answer is this concept, the wall, a person, wherever you may
• 4:14
  be, acting like your original self, Acting like a Jew is our
• 4:20
  job, is our requirement while in exile, and the way of doing so
• 4:24
  is to act like yourself. The save did not change his
• 4:28
  stature, did not change his way of acting, not at all.
• 4:32
  He said about Hashem and the House of what divide Hashem
• 4:35
  means, but he still said it because that's how he spoken at
• 4:39
  father's house. That's how he speaks over here.
• 4:41
  He was very pure. He didn't allow himself to sin.
• 4:45
  And the House of what? The fire, He's far away from
• 4:48
  home, doesn't make a difference. That's how they do my father's
• 4:50
  house as they do over here, right?
• 4:53
  And justice in a way. He carried himself in a certain
• 4:55
  way. When people saw him, they saw
• 4:59
  Hashem. He was such a Kedush Hashem
• 5:01
  there. When people saw him, it was a
• 5:03
  connection to God. You know the causes of Kedush
• 5:05
  Hashem means that the way you act, people can see, hey, that
• 5:09
  looks like an ambassador of God. That looks like someone
• 5:11
  represents God. That's what it means to be a
• 5:13
  Kedush Hashem. Like someone can look at you and
• 5:15
  say, I can sense something different.
• 5:18
  Yourself was the first person to carry himself in such a way, but
• 5:22
  people can see the name of a Shem in him and that was an
• 5:26
  unbelievable character trait and unbelievable level.
• 5:29
  And this is something that we have to do.
• 5:31
  He did an exile and we need to do an exile, which is we need to
• 5:35
  carry ourselves in the way that we talk, act, dress and overall
• 5:41
  carry ourselves in a way that we look different and we are
• 5:44
  different. That's the way it goes safe.
• 5:46
  And that is the way of the suka. What is suka?
• 5:49
  Suka is a little bubble. This guy is literally your
• 5:52
  little, your spot. You're in the world.
• 5:56
  We have trucks driving by, right?
• 5:58
  Literally, we have trains going by.
• 6:01
  We're in it's it's so it's being basically a metaphor to a deeper
• 6:05
  concept, which is that we're in the full world of craziness of
• 6:09
  people acting the way they act. And we are meant to act our
• 6:13
  yourself, which means we stay and remain ourselves 1000%.
• 6:18
  We act like our parents, acted like our grandparents acted like
• 6:22
  great grandparents. And we get strong overtime, even
• 6:24
  in certain areas. And it's an idea that we might
• 6:27
  be in a bigger world, but somehow, some way, we're
• 6:31
  remaining our same. We find what's up.
• 6:33
  And yourself was the greatest example of this.
• 6:35
  And that's what we want to follow.
• 6:37
  That's one thing. And the second area, how
• 6:41
  yourself was connected to the sukkah, again, because today's
• 6:45
  yourself stay, is because of the fact in this concept that
• 6:50
  yourself can see that all the Brahad he had in his life was
• 6:55
  from Hashem. He can see all the blessing, all
• 6:59
  the success, things, clicking and working out or some God.
• 7:03
  In fact, the classic line made my favorite word in the altar.
• 7:08
  Ah is the word that when yourself was pulled out of the
• 7:12
  pit, right grabbed out of jail, so to speak.
• 7:16
  I'm not paid jail and brought the Pardo and he was shaved and
• 7:21
  cleaned up and dressed came to me Pardo and he was able to
• 7:25
  interpret Pardo his dream and this is literally his tipping
• 7:28
  point to become the vice worthy to Egypt.
• 7:31
  Everything changing and when Pardo tells him there's no one
• 7:34
  like you in this world and yourselves.
• 7:36
  Word is Bill, I die. It's not me, it's God.
• 7:40
  Here's your moment to say it was all those years of training, it
• 7:44
  was the schooling. I wanted to assert upbringing.
• 7:48
  I have a certain gift because of the people of Roman.
• 7:50
  No, no, it's all God. That really is totally taking
• 7:56
  away all his talent and all in his mind.
• 7:59
  It could be taking away all his gifts and all the duties and
• 8:02
  saying it's all sham. When you say it's all sham, what
• 8:04
  you're saying is that it's not me, it didn't come from me, and
• 8:07
  it might not last. It's all God.
• 8:09
  It's not cancel to me. It's a separate entity and he
• 8:12
  was willing to say that the paddle which could have
• 8:15
  jeopardized, jeopardized Paddle's entire idea of giving
• 8:18
  him that position because if it's all God and who knows this
• 8:22
  is going to be here tomorrow, It's not basing their talents,
• 8:25
  especially if you're not a God fearing person like Paddle and
• 8:28
  yourself took that risk anyhow. What was Paddle's response
• 8:31
  there? Paddle, I don't know if he said
• 8:32
  he responded to that before or he said he said prior.
• 8:36
  Had you seen anyone who is a von Vertram?
• 8:40
  Different words for wisdom like this man.
• 8:43
  And then he gave yourself the job after yourself said that
• 8:45
  statement. That was the most powerful
• 8:47
  person in the world though, right?
• 8:48
  The most powerful person knew it.
• 8:49
  And Paro had a hard time believing in Goth.
• 8:51
  That was entirely struggle because he felt parole did that
• 8:55
  God was a contradiction to his own power.
• 8:58
  That's how he structured his mind that if God exists, he
• 9:01
  exists less. We know if I don't me had the
• 9:04
  people believe that he was a God himself.
• 9:07
  He didn't. No one saw him go to the
• 9:08
  bathroom because he wanted people to believe he's a guy,
• 9:11
  he's a God. So this is about all and leaves
• 9:14
  yourself talking to him and yourself still says to him, God
• 9:18
  gave me the strength. I said it's a great risk didn't
• 9:21
  make a difference. He yourself knew everything that
• 9:26
  I have all my successes, my wisdom confirmation, my wisdom
• 9:31
  confirmation. Now wisdom confirm Hashem.
• 9:33
  You have to understand people believe we all say Hashem is
• 9:37
  involved in everything. But if you think about it,
• 9:39
  traits that you developed, right, If you're good at a
• 9:42
  certain business, OK, I'll tell you persons, if I think I'm, you
• 9:46
  know, doing a good job of the middle class, My mentality is my
• 9:50
  mentality is it went from, OK, I went to a certain elementary
• 9:54
  school. I had a certain father.
• 9:56
  He gave me certain tools. I'm learning a certain place.
• 10:00
  I have to write books. I know how to books.
• 10:02
  I know the books to buy. I know how to process something.
• 10:05
  I can build in my mind a full way that I am the one behind any
• 10:09
  class. That's how mine works.
• 10:11
  And then you look at that, where you built it all and you say to
• 10:14
  yourself, Bill, I'll die. It's not me, but it is you.
• 10:17
  It's in front of our face. It's you.
• 10:19
  The answer is even that is not you.
• 10:20
  God gave you the books, He gave you the parents, He gave you the
• 10:24
  schooling. He gave you the position.
• 10:26
  Let's be real, all of us 1000% have been placed in certain
• 10:30
  places, all right? And you can in 5 minutes.
• 10:33
  I do this all the time. I told you this.
• 10:36
  I'm 38 year old former Kolo guy. Well, still Kolo guy.
• 10:40
  I say all the time. I look at all the Kolo guys and
• 10:42
  I say I'm a rabbi in a position they're not.
• 10:44
  What's the big difference? Who my father was, That's the
• 10:47
  big difference. All right.
• 10:48
  Can I say I was involved maybe for 2007, my father and why my
• 10:52
  father get this job because of something else, because of
• 10:54
  something else. There's all the I die yourself
• 10:58
  had the ability to say so and to admit it and because of that, he
• 11:04
  really represents this idea that we want to have and he
• 11:07
  represents the idea to Zucas and say that it's all Hashem.
• 11:10
  My Barracan this wrote 1000%. Now it was 2 traits here.
• 11:14
  Safari number 1. He was a person who was able to
• 11:17
  stick to his roots 100% even if he was all over the place, but
• 11:23
  he still remained against the Hashem and says Zucar represents
• 11:25
  we might be in middle of the street, but we're still
• 11:27
  connected to Hashem. We're in middle of the street,
• 11:30
  literally and figuratively. We're always the most in life.
• 11:33
  We're seeing and hearing everything that goes on in the
• 11:35
  world. He had somehow, some way, we're
• 11:37
  carrying our original coyote trade.
• 11:38
  It's a beautiful thing to see. And secondly, the sieve was a
• 11:42
  person who represented understood.
• 11:45
  Oh, my Barraca comes in my ship. And because of that, he
• 11:49
  continued to have Barraca his entire life.
• 11:52
  Because when you realize it comes from God, God continues to
• 11:55
  send Barraca to you by saying this is a perfect Ave. perfect
• 11:59
  address to get better because he realizes where it's coming from.
• 12:02
  Let me give him more and more and more in yourself was wildly
• 12:06
  successful in every area because of the fact that he knew success
• 12:11
  has not shown from him at all. Zero concern him as I should be
• 12:15
  our mindset at all times. You get 2 connections, being
• 12:17
  yourself and the suka.
