Rabbi Moshe Haber Perashat Vayesheb-Yaakob, Yoseph, and Divine Direction 12.12.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  The daughter a shot gulat mashaf Ayesha.
• 0:06
  Let's analyze a few. First of all, we should be a
• 0:08
  Corbett's Canon, a Corbin who settles in his father's home and
• 0:14
  the land of Canon. All right, so that's what I
• 0:16
  tells you three things in that pasuk sounds very simple.
• 0:20
  He settled 3 things 1 is a Corb was attempting to finally stop
• 0:27
  settle to not literally relax. Well, I'd prefer to find some
• 0:31
  level of peace right. She tells us by Yes you you are
• 0:33
  cold. In fact, it's repeating
• 0:36
  something we already know you know you already settled.
• 0:38
  We know you already dealt with this up.
• 0:39
  So by telling you these words again you're telling me that
• 0:42
  it's a tempting to settle. I'm more it's a good Aviv the
• 0:47
  land of his father. OK, that's always goes by that
• 0:51
  it goes by the father, but but the theme is is that yeah, go
• 0:54
  Ave. always wanted to go back to his parents house, keep whatever
• 0:58
  him. It was always his challenge that
• 0:59
  he was away finally gets to go back to his father's place.
• 1:03
  But it's Kanan is the second point.
• 1:06
  He always wanted to live in Kanan.
• 1:07
  He had to leave to live on his house for a long time, but he
• 1:10
  always wanted to be back in that place.
• 1:12
  So three things happened. This Basuk he's settling, he's
• 1:15
  by his father and he's in the land of Kanan.
• 1:18
  All great, all beautiful and it should be the end of the story
• 1:23
  where Rashi says is that Ako Arvino was I thought I'm ready
• 1:28
  to settle because Yaakov and Sheba Shava Ako Arvino wanted to
• 1:32
  finally have it easy. And then comes yourself story.
• 1:35
  The next part soup is literally LA Todot Yaakov.
• 1:37
  What does it mean yourself? What does it mean easy?
• 1:41
  What it means easy is obviously every ballroom we saw it, says
• 1:44
  Yaakov Arvino was non attempting to sit back and relax to retire.
• 1:48
  It was not his goal then no longer have to learn.
• 1:50
  That was not his point. His point instead was what it
• 1:53
  meant easy that he didn't want new types of challenges.
• 1:58
  He wanted to be able to do was clear and was good.
• 2:01
  He had to face in his self at the face of love on and to face
• 2:05
  in his self a second time. Had you?
• 2:08
  He spent all those years by love and all the challenges done.
• 2:11
  He wanted to do away with that. He wanted to have a day where of
• 2:14
  course, he's serving our chamom. He's paying all his effort into,
• 2:17
  but it's clear he knows what he's doing.
• 2:19
  There's no challenges of confusion of unknown.
• 2:22
  You know, sad story was the exact opposite of that.
• 2:26
  Everything about it was unclear. Everything about it was unknown.
• 2:29
  Everything about it didn't make any sense to him and because
• 2:32
  that's the opposite of what he wanted.
• 2:34
  And there was she says it as a God said it's not enough for
• 2:38
  Sadiqim to have Allahabad. They want to have Allah mazay
• 2:41
  too. They don't deserve.
• 2:42
  They don't get Allah mazay, which means they are COVID more
• 2:46
  to do and the world doesn't want to do.
• 2:48
  And therefore there was more challenge.
• 2:49
  That's the process far. Let's get to a few points about
• 2:52
  yourself, Eli Todot Yaakov yourself.
• 2:57
  These are the children of Yaakov and then only imagine yourself
• 3:01
  classic question. Why?
• 3:02
  Why only this is is the only children.
• 3:05
  So there's a few points. One and there's the clearest
• 3:08
  point is that USF represent even in the eyes of Yaakovina at that
• 3:13
  point, USF represents everything to him.
• 3:17
  Akhil was the woman he wanted to marry from the beginning.
• 3:21
  Yosef was her oldest son. You know, the Pasu tells us that
• 3:27
  the way it works is there is a sav.
• 3:31
  Yaakov can find a sav. They are causing real strength
• 3:35
  to overcoming Sr. is the power of yourself.
• 3:38
  So yourself represented Allah. The last part of shot we had
• 3:42
  that when Yakov Alvino and his family came toward SRF, yourself
• 3:46
  stood in front of his mother was to protect his mother.
• 3:49
  But part of the strength over there, I think was that yourself
• 3:52
  was the one who confined SRF. So Ella Toldot Yakov yourself
• 3:56
  literally means a simple fashion.
• 3:58
  These are the offsprings of Yakov, the main one or yourself.
• 4:04
  And this explains this explains some degree all the questions
• 4:10
  that we have in the beginning of the Pasha.
• 4:11
  Like he loves yourself more than everyone else.
• 4:15
  He teaches yourself Torah, according to Rashi more than
• 4:19
  everyone else. He give yourself, of course the
• 4:22
  multicoloured jacket more than everyone else says 2 two degrees
• 4:31
  when you learn this and what I'm going to do right now, when you
• 4:35
  learn this, you have to always look at it from their point of
• 4:38
  view and from God's point of view, from a corvina's point of
• 4:42
  view. I'm trying to point out to you
• 4:43
  right here that he saw and knew that Yosef was his main son,
• 4:46
  which is the truth. So in a sense he did the right
• 4:50
  thing in that sense. At the same time, the given
• 4:52
  house says a parent should never give preferential treatment to
• 4:55
  one child over the other because a few dollars more that Cove
• 4:58
  spent on his one son's coat over the other son's caused us to go
• 5:03
  down the Messiah. Which would indicate that we
• 5:06
  don't consider the right thing right, Right thing, wrong thing.
• 5:09
  The answer is correct. The answer is that Korv had a
• 5:12
  knowledge he was said was something special and he was
• 5:15
  treating him based on that. The only challenge was tying
• 5:19
  wasn't right. The world doesn't ready,
• 5:22
  yourself wasn't ready. We have more to go until it
• 5:25
  becomes and falls into place. He was right, but the timing was
• 5:29
  in a sense off at the same time. That's the process right so far.
• 5:34
  The El El todo diaco, these are the offering of Yako.
• 5:37
  That's one angle. Consider yourself as main son.
• 5:41
  Another angle that she really brings it.
• 5:48
  Yosef lived a mirror image life to Yako Avina, literally a
• 5:54
  mirror image. Everything I Cove that with, I
• 5:57
  set that with. For example, they both have
• 6:00
  brothers. I hated them.
• 6:03
  They both lived out of Israel. They both got married out of
• 6:06
  Israel. They both raised children out of
• 6:08
  Israel, and that was unique to the two of them, right?
• 6:11
  They looked the same, exactly their favors were exactly the
• 6:14
  same father and son, exactly the same cook.
• 6:18
  They, like I said, both are brothers.
• 6:19
  They hated them. There are many, many examples
• 6:22
  that are coming to me now of how they would literally exactly
• 6:27
  same mirror in his life, right. They both learned to write Shen
• 6:34
  Vive they both. So what's the theme Ella Todo
• 6:38
  Dakovia safe, which means yourself is an offspring is
• 6:43
  living a similar mirror image light to his father Yakov and
• 6:48
  that therefore me that therefore tells us that you said was an
• 6:51
  extension of Yakov and he was carrying the Yakov way into a
• 6:55
  new zone. So these are the offsprings of
• 6:58
  Yakov yourself, yourself is going to take it to a new zone,
• 7:01
  to a new situation, to a new child.
• 7:03
  That's how you how old is yourself?
• 7:05
  And this is all happening. 17 years old.
• 7:07
  All right, 17 years old is a very young child.
• 7:11
  Hayato, 17 old, same year 17. He was the shepherd of his
• 7:19
  brother's sheep. Again, we say the Yakov
• 7:21
  considered him the most important.
• 7:23
  One of the rules was, you know, save was the main chap is the
• 7:27
  main chap of Unar. He's a child.
• 7:29
  He's the main shepherd of all the sheep and of his brother's
• 7:32
  sheep, and he considered himself, based on his father's
• 7:36
  treatment, he considers himself the leader as well, and he
• 7:39
  carries himself in a certain sense that way.
• 7:42
  So the pasuk says these two things.
• 7:45
  One, Pasuk says he's a child, Hoonar Ebenez.
• 7:50
  He's a child with some of his brothers.
• 7:54
  And then it says he brought the LA Schwada by Ave.
• 7:58
  O Sep adi batal Mina. I love him.
• 8:00
  So we're getting a lot of here. He's a child, He's acting like a
• 8:03
  child and he brings a sharda. That's what it says next.
• 8:08
  Basuk says and his father Isaiah loves him more than all his
• 8:13
  children. We said this kiben Zikuni mullo
• 8:17
  because he's a child of old age. He's a child that's born to him,
• 8:21
  second to last child of old age. And there's certain appreciation
• 8:24
  to parent asked for his child, says the cleocard noticed
• 8:27
  something. Originally, he was considered a
• 8:29
  NAR, a kid. Now we refer to him as Ben
• 8:33
  Zekunim. Literally, it means a child of
• 8:35
  old age. But the cleocard, says Ben
• 8:37
  Zekunim, also means that he was able to act the part with the
• 8:43
  old people, which means yourself was 17 years old, yourself was a
• 8:48
  kid set up in a certain sense act like a kid.
• 8:51
  Some of the things that he did were very childish.
• 8:53
  For example, reporting about his brother without inspecting into
• 8:57
  the situation was considered immature and very dangerous and
• 9:00
  had a very bad effect. And at the same time he was
• 9:03
  benzoquenim, he was in the eyes of Yaakov and he acted and
• 9:07
  carried himself like a person who could be with the zakan.
• 9:10
  So he had this flip flop situation and this is an
• 9:13
  immaturity that he had. He had a great potential, great
• 9:16
  came to his fall, loved him for that.
• 9:18
  His father had knowledge of his greatness.
• 9:20
  He wasn't there yet. So he was a child who can also
• 9:23
  be like as I can be with the Zikaneem.
• 9:26
  Is it because that is this flip flop and because of that, he's a
• 9:29
  guy with great potential who has to go through the process of Al
• 9:33
  Prasha, which is a maturity development of the radio
• 9:37
  existing potential. I want to have one more point.
• 9:39
  God, I mean that will say. That when we pray in the
• 9:40
  morning, he'll say Zikaneemi Nadim is that have made to do
• 9:43
  with. Zikaneemi is literally elders
• 9:45
  over here. Benzikuni means a child of old
• 9:49
  age, and it really means a little kid who's grown to his
• 9:52
  old parents. But we're translating as the
• 9:55
  Cleocaters at least that means also a child who fits with the
• 10:00
  elders. You have, you know, sometimes
• 10:01
  there's little kids who can sit by a table with old people and
• 10:04
  they fit right in. And then they have these little
• 10:06
  kids that jump around immature. They'll set up in a simple
• 10:09
  sense, had both traits. With his brothers, he was one
• 10:11
  way. With his father, he was another
• 10:13
  and that LED very much to the challenge of the situation that
• 10:17
  is and his brothers. We're not ready.
• 10:20
  When I say he has a younger brother at the time, he has a.
• 10:22
  Younger brother now it's a boring thing to know even though
• 10:24
  we call yourself Benziconi, the child of old age and his
• 10:27
  opinion. That was ready.
• 10:29
  To cease, I already passed away and we've been Amin is always
• 10:33
  yourselves. Add on whenever you see these
• 10:36
  results and you always wonder how 3 or 7 is the last but not
• 10:38
  really the last, but you know what I mean.
• 10:40
  It's like yourselves mini me, mini guy.
• 10:43
  Why? Because being I mean, for
• 10:47
  example, I named all his children Quentin Madash after
• 10:51
  his brother Yosef and Yosef story even I mean named all
• 10:54
  those kids. He was considered Rachel's
• 10:56
  second son. Yosef was leader of that family.
• 10:59
  I mean, I mean as a mini him. That's the idea that's you have
• 11:02
  yourself as these two flip flop situations and at least so much
• 11:05
  challenge. Part of the reason Yakov had the
• 11:09
  other chef, Bishava, and didn't work out the way he wanted was
• 11:13
  that he was told you need to have twelve sons.
• 11:17
  He had it right. You have, according to his
• 11:19
  knowledge, yourself as the leader.
• 11:21
  He thought he had that as well. But there were two things that
• 11:24
  he realized. 1 is that the 12 sons were not yet 12 unified
• 11:29
  sons. 2 Cassette was not ready to be leader yet, and the
• 11:34
  process of Al Pasha is a development of both those
• 11:38
  points. The twelve sons are right now
• 11:41
  fractured. They need to come back to become
• 11:44
  the 12 unified sons. It's going to take two
• 11:46
  grassroots to get there and the whole story will be a safe for
• 11:49
  them to come around. And Yosef is great potential,
• 11:54
  great gifts, but not yet ready to be that leader in this
• 11:57
  position, as we see in the beginning of Al Bashah.
• 12:00
  So in fact, in the second Passu where it says that Yosef is a
• 12:04
  shepherd and the leader of his brothers, that's how you read
• 12:06
  it. But he's a child and he's
• 12:09
  snitching on his brothers. You see all this, You see that
• 12:12
  he has potential. He's a leader, but he's acting
• 12:16
  like a child. We'll get to the following in a
• 12:18
  second. But you see at the same time
• 12:20
  he's saying these over about his brothers, which by the way did
• 12:23
  not happen. His reporting about his
• 12:25
  brothers. Well, as I saw, I know his
• 12:26
  brothers. What did he say about?
• 12:27
  He said three things about his brothers.
• 12:30
  So I thought there's a thing about Braza 3 things were, he
• 12:34
  said, number one, that they were involved in illicit things,
• 12:40
  relations. It couldn't mean they were mean.
• 12:42
  It couldn't mean that they were playing around with them both
• 12:44
  his beds, stuff like that. They were involved in
• 12:46
  appropriate relations #1 very serious things #2HE claimed that
• 12:52
  they were eating every menache, which is limbs off of a living
• 12:56
  animal, which is a sin even from the beginning of time.
• 12:59
  Sin from time and all already while the animal is still living
• 13:02
  through RIP out, RIP off a limb and eat it.
• 13:04
  Terrible Slim. And thirdly he was claiming
• 13:06
  about them that they were Ayotte oh that they were treating the
• 13:12
  younger brothers and referring to them as slaves.
• 13:16
  The brothers of those midwives, right, of Bilal and Zappa, they
• 13:23
  revenge Shimonimabi Udah were referring to those other
• 13:26
  brothers like slaves. Three serious offenses that he's
• 13:30
  saying about his brothers. All right.
• 13:33
  And they were not true. What were they?
• 13:34
  You're going to close the door just because you put it in the
• 13:36
  fridge? What were they?
• 13:39
  Sorry. What?
• 13:42
  They were all right Was they were misunderstanding of a
• 13:51
  situation. When I say immaturity, what we
• 13:54
  mean, You know, Sarah was very well.
• 13:56
  Well, very much good intentions, good approach.
• 13:59
  He had no intention of angering his brother.
• 14:02
  Literally. The immaturity is surprising
• 14:04
  because he has 0 intention to angering his brother or fighting
• 14:06
  his brother. The fact is as we see later on
• 14:09
  in the parasha, when his father sent him to go find his
• 14:11
  brothers, he went and travelled out to them and then when he was
• 14:15
  lost he continued beyond. He was where he was told to go.
• 14:18
  He travelled further to find his brothers.
• 14:22
  He had no intention of fighting his brothers.
• 14:24
  He had 0 motive to get them angry.
• 14:26
  That was not instinct, but he was immature in that sense and
• 14:30
  he misunderstood or misread in a sense what the feeling his
• 14:34
  brother's going to get in what's going on.
• 14:36
  That was a challenge. Now this snitching saying over
• 14:39
  what his brothers are doing was reporting things that were not
• 14:43
  true. He saw it the wrong way.
• 14:45
  He realized what they were doing and he was misreporting and it
• 14:49
  was a grave issued according to many.
• 14:52
  And in fact, he got punished yourself did.
• 14:55
  And again, it is all the process of maturing.
• 14:58
  He got punished me da. Can I give me da with all three?
• 15:02
  How all three? Number one, when it came to
• 15:05
  saying that they were, they ripped off an animal when
• 15:10
  yourself was sold by his brothers of the blood, his
• 15:13
  brothers to the goat slaughter. The goat took the blood and
• 15:17
  dipped his special coat into that blood, right?
• 15:21
  That blood. They gave the Jacob back to that
• 15:23
  father. And that fall, as confident was
• 15:25
  Al Tarov, Tarav Yosef. Yosef has been torn apart like
• 15:29
  they said about their brothers. And he said about his brothers
• 15:32
  carrying up our animal. That wasn't me documenting me
• 15:34
  down there. Secondly, he said, we said #3 he
• 15:38
  said that his brothers were involved claiming the other
• 15:43
  brothers were slaves. He was sold as a slave.
• 15:46
  And thirdly, he claimed that they were involved in immoral
• 15:49
  activity. He was tested with the greatest
• 15:53
  example of immoral activity that was ever known.
• 15:56
  And not only was he tested, he was suspected by the world at
• 16:01
  the time of having conducted that sin.
• 16:03
  It wasn't like a test and kind of clean.
• 16:05
  He was suspected by the world that aren't conducting that sin.
• 16:07
  So reality was he carried me da kanigi me da 3 punishments for
• 16:12
  the three reports that he made, which shows you again a maturing
• 16:16
  process of yourself going from a person who has great potential
• 16:21
  and great gifts, but needs to go through the process.
• 16:23
  What yourself becomes is something absolutely incredible.
• 16:27
  One of the greatest men of our world is what yourself develops
• 16:30
  into great gifts and also a great development throughout our
• 16:33
  shop. A little point to always keep in
• 16:35
  mind. I like this point.
• 16:36
  I said it Wednesday night, I'll say and now I'll probably say
• 16:39
  over Shabbat too, as much as the story seems to be man made,
• 16:44
  which means we're indicating to you that Yosef high levels his
• 16:48
  level of maturity and Yaaku Abinu gave one son more
• 16:52
  treatment which triggered problems.
• 16:54
  All that is true. So you look and he say if not
• 16:56
  for them doing this, it would have been a different story.
• 17:00
  Truth is when Yosef went to find his brothers as his father sent
• 17:05
  them to, he went in the Plaza, says he was lost and says my
• 17:09
  name say O ish he bumped into a man.
• 17:12
  As she writes that man was Malach Gabriel.
• 17:18
  Malach Gabriel means he was an Angel and the Angel directed him
• 17:24
  to find his brothers. The Angel told him the world and
• 17:27
  I said oh Mizer they travelled from here which we read into
• 17:31
  what actually means as she says they travelled and he didn't
• 17:35
  know this hisself. Seemingly they travelled away
• 17:38
  from the relationship and Yosef followed the direction of an
• 17:41
  Angel to now find his brothers, which led to the slavery and led
• 17:45
  to everything says they're not bond.
• 17:47
  Why when he can know that why was the Angel put in that spot?
• 17:50
  Why didn't he know that he is? Because you need to realize all
• 17:53
  this stuff as much as it seems man made, it was all sort of
• 17:58
  overseen by God. It was all overseen by God and
• 18:02
  it's being directed by God. And for us, as an encouraging
• 18:06
  point, it doesn't mean free well is taken away at all, doesn't
• 18:11
  mean the president. They all did their part good and
• 18:17
  challenging. Excuse me at the same time, man.
• 18:25
  What it means is that God is orgasm, all these parts.
• 18:29
  So you never looked at such a frustrating moment that seems
• 18:32
  like, oh come on, why can't you understand what your Sam was
• 18:35
  doing or why can't you understand his brothers or why
• 18:37
  can't you go off either wait whatever complaint we have or
• 18:40
  misunderstanding that we look at the picture that's recognized
• 18:43
  that God pulled all these strings and the strings led our
• 18:47
  process and who we are today. So it always is the case in
• 18:50
  life. You have a person that doesn't
• 18:52
  eat wrong, that messes us over, it gets upset and it seems like
• 18:56
