- 0:01I bet by imitation Italian, I mean it was at the end of two
- 0:07years. O Paro Folem, Viennao made a
- 0:09road. Paro had a dream, and Paro had a
- 0:12dream. And he's standing by the river.
- 0:15And then the pursuit tells us what this dream is, what these
- 0:18dreams actually are. Let's fly out the dreams.
- 0:21We'll get some questions. Mini mini or O Lord Shera Paro D
- 0:24If at Maria from the river rises up 7 fat cows O briot pasar

- 0:44They look weak and they stand next to the other ones by the
- 0:52riverbank. Bantu hana parotta otamaro

- 0:59ones. ET cheva Faro de fors Marais by

- 1:06to sleep by Shan by Akhalom shanit in a cheva shibolim olot
- 1:11de caneja de bruyotte de torot 7 strong stalks of wheat in a
- 1:17cheva shibolim takot de vodkadim. 7 weak ones.
- 1:22Look at the war-torn so hot a Haram grow up afterward a
- 1:25Tivlana Shivolima Dakot and the weak ones swallow a Shiva Shiva
- 1:30in the briot and lot the healthy ones like he cuts Paror in
- 1:35echelon. Paro wakes up and behold there
- 1:37is a dream. In other words, he wakes up and
- 1:40he remembers these dreams which indicates the fact that Paro
- 1:43regimes were not just simply fly by night type dreams.
- 1:46These are real clear ones and he knew every detail of which is an
- 1:51indication of how how significant these dreams are.
- 1:57AE Babuk in the morning Bati bahim Lujo Paro was like really,
- 2:05you know, bewildered or blown away by these dreams.
- 2:08Aishla by cried call her to a minute's time.
- 2:11He calls for all those who are able to interpret the dreams in
- 2:15Egypt, the Kohama and all the wise people by Saber Paro Lahem
- 2:20ET Alamo. He tells them over his dreams
- 2:23then potted otam Lipadol and nobody is able to interpret it
- 2:27for Padol. Which means there were people
- 2:30who made attempts but these attempts to explain the dreams
- 2:33seemed off and the only backfired even more and no one
- 2:38was able to interpret it to Padol's liking.
- 2:40Now who are you to have a liking of an interpretation?
- 2:44Since when as a person have a right you were given a dream?
- 2:48It's a delivery from God or from whatever.
- 2:50Who are you to have decide whether you like the dream or
- 2:53not? Me.
- 2:54And the concept is right. The concept is, is that part of
- 2:57this dream? A part of the story is Hashem
- 3:01gave Pardo a sense of what fits. Although he was seesaw, a dream
- 3:07of cows and a dream of wheat, he also had a sense of what's right
- 3:13and what's wrong. What's a good shot, what's a bad
- 3:15shot? And he didn't like what he was
- 3:18here. He didn't like what he was being
- 3:20told. He felt it was off and this led
- 3:23to the next step. So what happens?
- 3:26Veda bears Sala machine ET paro le Mor ESA machine speaks to
- 3:31Paro, saying ET hatay en E masqueradion.
- 3:35I have to tell you my sin today. Now let's play out what's going
- 3:39on over here. The background is the real
- 3:41story. The basuk opened up vaiahi.
- 3:44It was at the end of two years, two years of days, two full
- 3:50years of days. Pardo had a dream what's 2
- 3:53years? Two years since when?
- 3:54Two years since then Lesi Pasha, she tells us the classic 1
- 3:59Josefa Sadika then Lesi Pasha had interpreted while in jail 2
- 4:04individuals dreams. One of them was a Sarah
- 4:06Mashkeem. Sarah Mashkeem's dream, which
- 4:09was have interpreted was that was going to be reappointed to
- 4:12his original position of the overserved drinks by Pardo and
- 4:18two years later part out as a dream.
- 4:20Two years after this SAR is taken out of jail.
- 4:25What's 2 years? So Raji tells us a classic point
- 4:28and the point that has to be debated and analyzed and that is
- 4:33that 2 years as a punishment to yourself.
- 4:36Because when he interpreted that dream on behalf of that officer,
- 4:42I told him twice the word Remember Me?
- 4:46Remember Me when you get out. I said the word zakhatani.
- 4:49If it's Zakhatani, he said it twice because he said it twice
- 4:53is an indication of a weakness of Vitajant.
- 4:56And because of that yourself I had to suffer 2 years longer in
- 5:00jail. That's how she says.
- 5:02So the puzzle says at the end of two years of days, and it is
- 5:06since when? And tell me since when, Since
- 5:08yourself mentioned those words and he said the word Zakhatani
- 5:12twice. He therefore had to remain in
- 5:15jail two more years. Now if he said it once would
- 5:17have been polished. This is a classic question.
- 5:19What would have been if he said it once?
- 5:20The simple answer, the rabbi say, is that would have been a
- 5:23shot loot and that would have been fine.
- 5:25It's not like it's two years for 2 words and one year for one
- 5:28word. It's two years for overdoing it.
- 5:31Once you overdo it, you move off track of the Tajon and his shot
- 5:36loot, which is our obligation to do what we have to do and then
- 5:39rely on God. You move into a different track
- 5:41and that different track is it track of a weakness and beat the
- 5:45home and because that is so proud to stay three years now.
- 5:48Question because I don't understood that concept of all
- 5:52you asked twice but what if the guy needed to reminded?
- 5:55There's so many times where I tell someone to work, do this,
- 5:57then I say oh I forgot. Good, but you remember this site
- 6:01in time and then fair so let's go through it doesn't really
- 6:03care about him Oh really care about that right though exactly
- 6:06and we have to double down another reminder.
- 6:08Some people need three reminder so right when they would.
- 6:10Actually happened. So let's go through a story.
- 6:13Stop by. Stop.
- 6:14Yeah. Truth is, is that when the
- 6:16Madash says this concept of a yourself being punished 2 years
- 6:22because of the fact that he asked Zakatani as Katani said it
- 6:27twice. Zakatani VES Katani says the
- 6:31Madash. It opens up with these words.
- 6:33You're telling me a negative about yourself, a lack of beat.
- 6:36The honit seems writes Madashi's words.
- 6:40Ashley gave it. I Shazam my shame Iftaho.
- 6:44It opens up with the basuk. Praiseworthy is the given.
- 6:48Who's the given? Who's the man yourself?
- 6:50Who has be tahoon? And then it says and he remains
- 6:552 years in jail because of asking Zaha Mashkeem twice.
- 6:57One second flip flop be tahoon. Is he considered credited and
- 7:02lauded for so much be tahoon as the basuk that we bring opens
- 7:05up? Or is he punished as it seems
- 7:08for a lack of be tahoon by saying the word twice?
- 7:11And then you get to Joey's question, which is isn't it the
- 7:13right thing sometimes to double down, to clarify, to emphasize,
- 7:17to ask what's going on over here?
- 7:20You ask Nothing wrong with asking and nothing wrong with
- 7:23asking vice, it seems. And the Basuka opens up with
- 7:26praiseworthy as a person who has beat the horn.
- 7:28Who's that? Yourself.
- 7:29And then it tells us the bad thing about yourself.
- 7:31What's going on here? So the real answer is this.
- 7:34And you need to know this before you understand this concept of
- 7:37what we call a weakness of beat the horn by yourself.
- 7:41The truth is for the average person or yourself did was
- 7:46perfectly fine and in fact recommended.
- 7:50Of course, you have a pathway out of jail.
- 7:52You have someone who you did a big favor for and that's someone
- 7:56is going to go and move in right next to the paddle.
- 7:59He says so once a night. This guy is going to be a
- 8:01direct. Imagine a person is going
- 8:05through legal difficulties today and their friends, their best
- 8:10friend who owes him a big favor because he got out of trouble.
- 8:13His own life is how it could be part of Trump's council, part of
- 8:19Trump's cabinet. And he literally can go in and
- 8:22can, whoever he is, he can discuss the pardons.
- 8:24We know the president's giving people pardons left and right,
- 8:27much more than you see, by the way.
- 8:29And he can go and he can discuss it with the president.
- 8:33All he has to do is have a conversation and he's my friend
- 8:36and he owes me something and I and I say, you know what, let me
- 8:39not ask him anything because beat the horn.
- 8:41I shouldn't ask. The rabbi will tell you you're a
- 8:44fool. I remind them 10 times.
- 8:46Don't forget me. Of course, what's happening over
- 8:51here, but what's happening? You're punishing yourself for
- 8:54Allah could be the horn for saying it twice.
- 8:56And just to confirm this was question, the Midrash opened up
- 9:01with the words asheh hagiven Hashem.
- 9:05If the whole praiseworthy is the man who relies on Hashem though
- 9:09yourself, that's yourself. And then you say the issue.
- 9:13So here's the answer. We said it's on Wednesday.
- 9:14Night that I bonded Benazans, the foreigner will disagree with
- 9:17them. You have a hard time with the
- 9:18business, I know. Let me tell you the answer
- 9:20according to the the way I understand and I think it's
- 9:24pretty clear and that is you getting overcharged GPT there.
- 9:28Yeah, but it's actually got a sword.
- 9:29I know. Sure, but let me just tell you
- 9:31the answer. All right, The answer is so
- 9:35useful. Sounds sounds good.
- 9:37By the way, he can edit the recording so it still sounds
- 9:39small, so that I'm bonds that there was a new the answers.
- 9:43All right, here's the real answer.
- 9:45The real answer is, in my opinion, Yousef was on a
- 9:49different plateau, a different level up until this point.
- 9:53Although he was sold into slavery by his brothers, which
- 9:55is a very big negative. Up until this point he was
- 9:58flying on the magic carpet of life.
- 10:01While he was in jail, while he was an alsopoty fard, while he
- 10:05was wherever he was, he had success at the success.
- 10:09He was titled Ish Maslia by the Torah, a successful man.
- 10:15He had the name successful man. If God gives you the title
- 10:18successful man, that means everything is clicking.
- 10:21So if everything is clicking while in jails, everything is
- 10:24clicking while in the House of your master, everything is just
- 10:28going properly for yourself. On his level, the argument could
- 10:33have been he should continue down the track.
- 10:38That's already working. God is with him.
- 10:41God is doing things for him. He doesn't need to ask twice.
- 10:44He should continue down that track.
- 10:46Can he see the path? No, he can't see the path.
- 10:49What yourself was living with was a beautiful and that
- 10:53beautiful, a extremely successful life without knowing
- 10:57what tomorrow is going to bring. That's exactly what it was.
- 11:00It was a perfect path of success while in jail, of course.
- 11:05A perfect path of success with no knowledge of what tomorrow is
- 11:09going to bring. That's a difficult test.
- 11:12Do I continue down this road or do I try to blame the tomorrow
- 11:15by asking the man help? And that's where the challenge
- 11:18was. You do ask.
- 11:20You don't ask twice, you don't double down on your sources on
- 11:24on your one angle out when you already have a far stronger
- 11:30source of success not being God himself so far.
- 11:33So for him in his situation and on his level and he is defined
- 11:39as a person who is somehow shame.
- 11:41Iftahor he had applied must be the horn and God up until this
- 11:44very moment. So why change now?
- 11:47That's all why there was a small test.
- 11:50Do you try to play into tomorrow, or do you just rely on
- 11:53the fact that your path is being blazed to perfection by God?
- 11:59If you have so far God blazing your path, no reason to get off
- 12:03that track and try to get to another one.
- 12:05And I had one more point. I don't believe he was punished.
- 12:09It's not how I learned. I don't read from the bustle
- 12:12anyway. Unish.
- 12:13That's the unish wasn't punished instead God removed from him a
- 12:19little bit of the Ishma slia. He's been successful but to this
- 12:23point a blazing path. Hashem is with him creating
- 12:26miracles. God said you want to go natural,
- 12:29go natural. You want to try to rely on help
- 12:32rely on help you rely on Hassan Mashkin how we said this on
- 12:36Wednesday night. How much do you think this
- 12:39individual wants to help you? How much do you think an officer
- 12:44in Pardo's chariot cabinet who wants to refer to but all how
- 12:50successful and great and smart and amazing you are?
- 12:55Chances are not that much. Because it's a small chance.
- 12:58And he'll save my rise to power. If he's going to come and
- 13:01display any of his wisdom, any of his strengths, any of his
- 13:04charm, any of his yourself gifts, as he's been doing until
- 13:08now, this is a good chance That Sam Ashkim was part of the inner
- 13:11circle. Might not be so comfortable with
- 13:13that and so. He's a convict.
- 13:15He's on the inner circle. He's a convict, he is.
- 13:17But he's also in a circle at the same time.
- 13:19He was a convict, but he's in a circle.
- 13:21CEO SIP was relying on an individual who very well might
- 13:25not want to help him. So it's not simply as how it
- 13:29goes. You rely on natural.
- 13:31God will say, let it be natural. You try at your luck with this
- 13:37man. And the reality is that Sara
- 13:39Mashim forgot yourself conveniently, he can really
- 13:44forgot yourself because it didn't do him any good to
- 13:47remember yourself. Hakaratatov was not part of his
- 13:49real house, right? No, no appreciation there, no
- 13:52gratitude there. And the sama she might have been
- 13:55nervous about mentioning yourself.
- 13:57Why make this person rise to power?
- 14:01And if we got when did the sama she remember yourself?
- 14:06So the pasuk said the words Oh Paro Holland, after two years it
- 14:10up, Paro has a dream, which means that Parola's dream
- 14:16triggered was triggered, was triggered because yourself three
- 14:20years up says how it goes. You know Sev is living a miracle
- 14:23life. He rely on the Salam.
- 14:25Hashim said the word is qahtani, Qahtani twice.
- 14:28Because of that he needs to wait two more years, two more years
- 14:31of this. The moment the two years are up,
- 14:34Parola has a dream, which means that God was waiting for
- 14:37yourself two years of up. It's three years are said to be
- 14:40up. Now Para has a dream.
- 14:42Now we're back on the miracle track.
- 14:43When you're on the miracle track with Pardo, his dreams I
- 14:46something to continue with you and take you out.
- 14:49What makes the Salam Alsheim who conveniently did not want to
- 14:53remember yourself? What may you remember yourself
- 14:55now self? Gain.
- 14:59Self gain. And that is to be the madash
- 15:01right? First of all he wanted to get in
- 15:03with Pardo and say I know, God knows the guy so I'm in the
- 15:06circle. The madash is even further.
- 15:09Paro was losing his mind. These dreams are driving him
- 15:13crazy. He thought terrible things are
- 15:15going to happen and he was losing his mind.
- 15:17Literally says in Medash. Samashkhin was afraid that he
- 15:22might lose his king and if he loses his king he might lose his
- 15:26job. So he was very much continuing
- 15:28down the road of selfishness. So he mentioned yourself to
- 15:33interpret the dreams to hopefully save Paro's sanity and
- 15:38so I could keep my job. So Salah Rushdie did not change
- 15:41his colors. He didn't become also a man of
- 15:43gratitude. He simply became a man who
- 15:46conveniently wants to continue his position for us.
- 15:50And this is God's, This is God's own miracle back on track via
- 15:54Saba Saviq. And so the story of yourself is
- 15:56a person who's been living a miraculous light until now.
- 15:59Then there was a two year break, then back on track and the rest
- 16:03of the road is also. Everything is miracle for
- 16:05yourself. His interpretation of your part
- 16:08of his dream is a miracle. It isn't no interpretation.
- 16:10Is a miracle. That's all it is.
- 16:13Don't rely on people, don't overly rely on people.
- 16:18And our take away from this concept is we may not be
- 16:20yourself and therefore we may not be required to avoid saying
- 16:26the word. His khatani, He's a khatani.
- 16:28There's nothing wrong if you call the guy you want to buy a
- 16:30house, you call the guy, you call him twice.
- 16:32You want to rent something a deal and you put a little effort
- 16:34into it. Nothing wrong.
- 16:36But in our level to reliance the saying to ourselves.
- 16:41I have a sham with me, but that's not enough.
- 16:43I need to go here so I'm gonna save level.
- 16:46The miracles weren't enough. He doesn't go natural on our
- 16:49level would be the natural is not enough.
- 16:52I need to go obsessive with another person.
- 16:54That is like a bitter horn and that is only removing from
- 16:59yourself the track of God. The Saif was losing the degree
- 17:03of Ishmas Liya, and we will lose, sadly, a degree of our
- 17:07typical CIA Tadashi Maya held from Hashem.
- 17:10We don't need to do so and therefore we need to tell
- 17:12ourselves at all times I am on God's track, that we remain on
- 17:18Hashem's track. Two years up, three years, Saif,
- 17:21all of a sudden, click, click, click, click.
- 17:23He interprets Gene to perfection.
- 17:25He also mentions the idea of Padola giving the right guy the
- 17:28job. Padola appoints him.
- 17:30He takes over the entitlement sign.
- 17:32Aside from Padola's position, he brings his father and his
- 17:35brothers to the process back. And the rest, as we say it, is
- 17:39true, Mustafa.
