Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya ya To making this happen, parsa to the people who are in here that helped make this happen. So thank you to them, thank you to the Yeshiva for helping this happen. Thank you to Raibir for helping this happen. Raibir doesn't need an introduction. So, havabol.

The Baal Shem Tov came into this world not to say anything new but to remind us of something very old. We're going to talk tonight based on Hashem what that was, what the Baal Shem Tov was trying to do. What was the hisnadus? The Magan Mimesrech said to the Altareba, to the Balatanya, that already his yard site way before the story of the Altareba, we knew that this day was a special day for chassidus. Nitzotzos, it was a special day for our Fatsa. Na'atir-ebe had a decision to make in his life. He was a known Eloi. The whole world knew about him at a very young age. He had the decision if he was going to go to Vilna to learn by the Vilna-gain or if he was going to go to Mezrich to learn by the Magid. Na'atir-ebe famously said, I knew a little bit about learning, but I didn't know so much about Davining.

So I went to the magyit to learn about Davening. The Altareba different than the magyit and even different than the Baal Shem Tov brought Teirah Sabaal Shem, he brought the Teirah Saghassidus lower into the world. Medjush Impaisheh Nasser that the Altareba popularized says that the reason that Hakadosh Baruch Hu created the world was nis'avah Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Leah Yisrael yisbarach dire pitaktoyne. But Hakadosh Baruch Hu desires. Desires means that it comes from the essence. But Hakadosh Baruch Hu desires more than anything else is to be in the lowest places in our life. And so the Torah Sabal Shem was to take the Torah of Hakadosh Baruch Hu, not Torah about Hakadosh Baruch Hu, the Torah of Hakadosh Baruch Hu. And to bring it lower into the world, the Magid brought it one step lower. And the Balatanya started to bring it lower. It was It was well known and many of you already know that the Misnagdim, those that were against the Torah Shabbat Shem, including the Vilna Goyne, there was already in the world a big period in Klal Yisrael, a big split, and it was brought to the Czar himself.

The Misnagdim made sure that the tsar understood that the Torah of Shabbal Shem was a Torah that was treacherous. It was a Torah that was treasonous. And the Altareba was imprisoned in jail. And a strange thing happened when the Altareba was in jail. They started interrogating the Altareba as to what is the nature of the chassidus that you're teaching? Because we need to establish that you're not fomenting a rebellion against the tsar himself. And so what does the Altareba find himself doing in jail for 53 days? For 53 days he's learning chassidus with the officers of the tsar, trying to explain to them that this was not against the tsar. The Altareba understood and Chassidim understood at that time that what was happening down here in Oilama Sathachthainim was really going on up there in Oilama Sathalyainim. That in Shamayim there was a big rash.

Will Taras Abal Shem be brought into the world now? Is this the time to do it? Do we have the level of authenticity? Has the world reached its stage of evolution to allow Taras Abal Shem to come into the world? For 53 days the Altareba wasn't just teaching Tyra, but for 53 days he was reaching levels of authenticity within himself that he would be able to be the klee to bring this into the world. And in a very miraculous fashion, after 53 days, he was zaycheh to be released from jail, which he understood meant that now the Vashemptus Tyra was ready to be brought into the world. And he redoubled his efforts to bring this type of Torah into the world. And not only that, but if you look at the quality of the Torah before the outer Rebbe went to jail and after the outer Rebbe went to jail, it's almost as if you're reading two different people.

The first Torah before he went to jail was exceptionally high. Very difficult to understand. Sometimes when you read some of those pieces, the language, the terminology is so difficult, even if you have a background, it's so difficult to piece together what exactly the altareba means. And it's diametrically the opposite after the altareba was released from jail. The Torah becomes so understandable, so designed for us. And the outer rebbe wrote Tanya, how many chapters are in Tanya? 53 chapters of Tanya connected each day that he was in jail. Tanya is a very accessible safer. What was it that the Baal Shem Tov was trying to achieve? What was he trying to bring down into this world? What did the outer rebbe succeed in bringing into this world? Why are we here tonight? Last night in Yeshiva we were fabregging until 1.15 in the morning. And Mashiq Yachin Yeshiva, he spoke about what was happening at that time in the world.

There's a lot of krumkite that you'll hear around the development of chassidus, a lot of wrong things. People will say things like, so much of the world was turned off at that time, so chassidus came to make those that were turned off from learning feel good about themselves. Chassu Shalom, nothing could be farther than the truth. Really it's the opposite. At that time there was a distance between those who learned and the abishthir himself. There is such a thing as being a professor of talmud. A kavir of mine many years ago, after he finished college, he wanted to learn in kalilah. Where did he go? He went to Harvard, to a fellowship program in Harvard. He was in kalilah in Harvard and he was studying talmud with a gentile. It's possible, the Gemara talks about this, it's possible to daven three times a day, to learn Tanakh, to learn Mishnais, to learn Halachah, to learn Gemara, it's possible to do all of that and the Abishter has nothing to do with any of it. It's possible.

And at that time there was a divide between a person's life in Yeshiva, out of Yeshiva and Hakadosh Baruch Hu. The Baal Shem Tov came to bridge that gap. And had the Altareba and had the Baal Shem Tov and had the Magid and all of the Baloch Chassidus and all of the Tzaddikim at that time, had they simply gone to the Hamon Am and said, okay, we want to return Hakadosh Baruch Hu to Yer'davning, there would not have been a Hisnadus. 99% of the world, Chaval to serve Hakadosh Baruch Hu without Hakadosh Baruch Hu Chaval to do all of the actions and to not be present. So many times I heard from Rav Weinberger about the husband and wife of the I'm a wife that come to sit down with him because they're having marital difficulties. And he says, okay, who wants to go first?

And the husband inevitably says, okay, I'll go first. And he starts talking, I don't know what this woman wants from me. What does she want from me? I do everything. I make a parnossa. I take the kids out for little league. I bring out the garbage. I change the light bulbs. And the whole time that the husband is talking, what's the wife doing? Even now, Rebbe, I can't do anything to satisfy. So Ravweinberger looks at the wife and he says, seems like a good guy. He's taking out the garbage. He's changing the light bulbs. He's poaching little league. And she looks at the Rebbe and she says to him, do you think I married him to take out the garbage? Do you think I married him to change the light bulb? I married him because of the way that he looked at me under the chuppah.

When's the last time that he looked at me that way? When's the last time that I felt that his kashr ish? When's the last time that I felt in my life like me and him were the only two people in the room and it doesn't matter how many other people are around but it's me and you. Kavir, how many times in our life have we opened up the Black Demaroh? Abayorava, Rashi Teissus, Shverir Ramban, difficult Rachba. Unbelievable shirim, you walk out dazzled. Shabbat so dazzled that when it comes to minchah you're still thinking about the sugya. There's something exceptionally beautiful about that. To be so shakua and learning that you're so wrapped up in the sugya that I can't forget about the ramba. And yet, in a certain way, and you'll forgive me for saying it like this, in a certain way, you've lost sight.

Because the Rebbe Nachman is right there in minchah in front of you. There's a time to be in that Roshuva and there's a time to be in Shemain Esteri, in Shemaq'elenu, talking to the Abishture. It's possible to be holding in that Rambam. Like the Rav of Myshul says so many times, when's the first time that we have Kavana in Davening by the Sheerschol Yom? Because we have to think about what day it is. And it would be more appropriate for us to say tzvilah sadarech for most of the time because God knows where we were in the middle of our Davening. Because it's possible to have a Yiddishkeit and that the Abishture should be missing. And B'al Shem Tov came to do something very old, not to do something new. He came to return Hakadosh Baruch Hu to Yiddishkeit. So there had to be a hisnadus because whenever you have something so kadosh, so pure, there has to be a hisnadus because otherwise how is there going to be free will in the world?

So the Vilna Gaon was a macabola upon himself that he would be that hisnadus. And if you don't believe me that that was the pshad in the Vilna Gaon, I can show The Channam Wasserman wrote in translation Qadim Rebi Duch hafitz Qayim who said that B'Shat. The Ch' Documents Qayim Himself. It said, why did the Groug do what he did? It was to be able, that chassidus should come into the world without a hisnadus from anything outside. And already we know that in Volosian, Sh'aqiyim Volosian was the greatest Talmud of the Groug. Already we know that less than one generation later they were Qasidim already learning V'lazhem. And it doesn't mean that the Hissnagdos was over. But it was already starting to have that Ervovye. Roshua Gefival Mendelavitch, the Gitzavik, the Kaddush, the Rav Rachah, the founder of Yeshiva Tervidas. Many of my Rebbeim learned in Tervidas, so I used to hear stories of Rav Shagefival and the tremendous tzitkos that he had. He built Torah in America almost single-handedly. So they asked Roshua Gefival, why do you have Hasidah Sh'ribaim An Litzvashir Abayim in the yeshiva, he told the marshal, he said imagine there is a father who has two daughters, and he is a wealthy man and he wants to support his son in laws while they are sitting and learning, one son in law is machvit that he only eats fleishiks

and the other son in law is machvit that he only eats milchiks, so every day they come together for lunch and for dinner and they sit at three separate tables, the father sits with his wife, one daughter sits with her husband, then their family eating fleishiks, The other daughter sits at a different table with her families eating milchikz. And that's how they would sit every single day. Unfortunately the father falls on hard times. And he says to his children, Baruch Hashem I could still support you, but I can no longer afford to have separate meals. So okay, they understand people fall on hard times. They come that night for dinner. Each one sits at their table. And the father says, one second, kolo that you were eating milchikz and you were eating The..." It made sense for us to sit at two different tables. But now that we're all eating the same food, we may as well sit together. Sara Rechchagifaybah it could be that in Europe where you had such unbelievable sadikim on both sides of the fence, it could be that there was a place to say okay Yuda Chassidim are over here and Yuda Meenadim are over there. But today in America, Rechchagifaybah said we've fallen on hard times. It makes sense for us to sit And I'll tell you a Mysa, everyone knows that Ressal Vechic was close with the Lababacharebi.

It's well documented. In fact, Lababacharebi once got up in University of Berlin. You know this Mysa? Got up in the University of Berlin on Purim and he started saying a maimr. He was drunk. Started saying a maimr in the middle of University of Berlin. So he was arrested. So who came to bail him out? His good friend Ressal Vechic. At the time they were young nobody knew that Rav Saloveitchik would be there of. Certainly nobody knew that the Labavacharebi was going to be the Labavacharebi who was the youngest son-in-law. So after Rav Saloveitchik bailed him out of jail he said to him, oh now you could be a Labavacharebi because you sat in jail like every Labavacharebi so you could be a Labavacharebi. They were very close friends. So by the Labavacharebi's birthday Fabrengen one year they brought Rav Saloveitchik. If you've ever seen the videos on Gem and if you haven't you definitely should.

It was a long day. Labab Yarebi would sit in the middle and they invited Roshol Vaychik to sit on the dais and he wouldn't sit next to Labab Yarebi. He felt that it was inappropriate for them to sit side by side so he sat all the way down at the end. And when it came time for him to leave, somebody made a joke to Roshol Vaychik and they said, See now that the Vilna Goyen and the Baal Shemth have made shalom. After all, Saloveitchik, the son of Rav Moshe Saloveitchik, the son of Rav Chaim Saloveitchik, the son of the Bey Salavi, the Talmud of the Chaim Volazh and the Talmud of the GRA sitting with the Labav Yarebi and Anikl of the Balatanya, the Talmud of the Magan M They already made shalom in the crematoria and Auschwitz when they were burnt alive together. There's no hisnagdas in the world anymore.

Anything that's hisnagdas now is just kleep of a citraach. It speaks to some people, it doesn't speak to others, nobody's saying that everybody has to be the same. Today everybody has to like figure out, you know, there's certain times of year where everybody has to figure out their hashkaf. Somehow it's not Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur, but there are certain times of year where everyone has to figure out what's my hashkaf. Yom Hasikaron Yom Atzimot Yot Taz Kislev Baruch Hashem is one of those days. Everyone has to have that conversation. Do I agree? Don't I agree? There's no hisnados anymore. If it speaks to you beautiful, if it doesn't speak to you beautiful. But understand this. There's already shalom. There's already shalom. We're not here tonight to discuss that everybody should be this way or everybody should be that way. Fakarit. One thing we're here to say tonight. We just finished Yot Taz Kislev. We're now already in the year.

We're already in the year now. We have to return Hakadosh Baruch Hu to our lives. That everybody can agree. We didn't come to Eretz Yisrael to learn another black Gemara. There were many yeshivas in America that you could have done it. But you come to this yeshiva to learn with Dizir Beyim, not to learn another Rashi and another Tysus, but to learn how to find the Rebunish home in every single thing that we do. That's why we come to Yisrael. That's why we come to Eretz Yisrael. Avir yidah Eretz Yisrael machkeim. What does it mean machkeim? The person gets smarter in Eretz Yisrael? Adir Abi, you look around sometimes in this country and you wonder how that maimer chazal could be true. Makhim means, as Roshol Vaychek explained, makhim means intense. Ma'ribi Rav parnishch littu yishadav Rav fushalaymah He told me Amaisah, that two tell me them, three tell me them rather, came to Roshol Vaychek and they said Rebbe we're not going to be here next month.

He said where are you going? They said we're going to Eretz Yisrael. He said why? He said, Rebbe what do you mean why? Gemara says, befayreh shavir de'er Teshuva Maqim So, R'sal Vaychek looked at these three boys, he said, you're misunderstanding the Gemara Maqim means that Eretz Yisrael makes things more intense So if you're smart, it intensifies your intelligence And if you're foolish, it intensifies your stupidity You, Hebra, should stay here I have to say some litvish, some isim tonight also We come to Eretz Yisrael because the Chachmas Eretz Yisrael is to be more intense, to be more passionate Be more passionate, to be closer to the essence, to touch deeper to who we are. So Bezer Hashem tonight we're going to try to do something a little bit different. We're going to sing, we're not going to sing slow naguna. It's not a time to be in that place, so time to be fast.

Bezer Hashem, you know, lead us in fast naguna. Fast naguna. And then we're going to stop and I'm going to ask a series of questions. I'm not going to give answers. The series of questions, the sugia that we're learning tonight is the sugia of dreams. The sugia of dreams. First we're going to discuss the dreams of Yayyisif HaTzadik, then we're going to discuss the dreams of the baker and the butler in jail, and then we're going to discuss the dreams of Paro himself. And all we're going to do is ask questions. And at the very end, we're going to give one answer that's going to These are all of these things because this was the Darrach of Chassidus. The Darrach of Chassidus was to take so many disjointed things, so many things that looked like they were completely disparate from one another. And we're going to try to put things together.

Shittakah Bizarcheh, to take all those things in our life. I think it's a Sha'alvim phrase, Rebbe, right? We don't lead a dual life, we lead a broad life. I think I heard it first year 20 years ago. Still say it. Yeah? Amaya? Mezer Hashem, Amayvazir. I remember, you should know, I wasn't sorry to go to this Yeshiva. I remember my Chavarim back when there was KFC. We get together, new has Yeshiva, I would tell them what I was learning. What are you learning? It's not a dual life, it's a broad life. It's a pass the wings, I didn't know what it meant. But I'm getting older, I'm starting to learn, I'm starting to learn what it means, the shtikl. So we're gonna try to bring together a lot of things.

One of the strange maisim and chumish is the maisim, Yoswe Yaysev HaTzadik telling his brother his dreams. Person has a dream, they necessarily share it. Yaysev HaTzadik felt some imperative to share his dreams. You look at the psukim, says Vayachalayim Yaysev Chalayim Vayageh le'echa Vayesivo eit snayat. He told over to his brothers And the second dream says, Vayachalaim Uyid Chalaim Acher Vayyisapir Uyisayla Echav Vayyomerin Hashem teshuva Yareiach vachadzer kachavim ish tachavim li' So what's the dream? The dream is the sun, the moon and the stars all bow down to Yosifatzad. But if you look carefully at the psukem, there's a number of differences. And again, right now we're just going to ask questions.

First of all, if you look, the Torah uses two different verbs. In the first dream it says, Vayagei lechav, that he told over to his brothers. But in the second dream it says, Vayisapim, which also means to tell over. But there's a different connotation. We have to discover what that different connotation is. Number two, when you look at the two dreams, you'll You'll see that each dream evokes a different reaction in the brothers. In the first dream, they hate him. But in the second dream, the brothers grow jealous of Yisrael Hazzab. So what's the difference between the first dream and the second dream? Another difference. After the second dream, what does Ya'aqibovinu do? Ya'aqibovinu gets upset at Ya'aqif. We know why does he get upset? He says how could it be that the sun, the moon and the stars are bowing down to you that clearly represents me, your mother and the Shvatim but there's an obvious problem.

Your mother has passed away. Of course Rashi brings the Medrash that really Yosu Fatsadik was referring to Billah and that's a whole different shear for a different time. But there's an Indian that a dream has to make some sense. But it says v'aviv shamara sadavar. The Ya'aq of Avinu was, he was waiting for something to happen. He knew there was something deeper. So why in the second dream is Ya'aq of Avinu thinking something's here and not by the first dream? Another question. If you look at the first dream, only the brothers are there. But in the second dream, also Ya'asif's parents, Bilah, according to Ya'asif, Ya'aq thought it was Rachel and Ya'aq of himself. Why in the first dream were they not there? Another difference. You start looking at the Psukenboys, you'll see there's a lot of differences. Another difference, in the first dream the sheaves bow down to Yosif's sheave.

But in the second dream the sun, the moon and the stars bow down to Yosif himself. What's the difference that in the second dream they bow down to Yosif? And in the first dream they're only bowing down to his sheave. And last but not least, and then we'll sing more Nogunim, in the first dream all the The brothers are working, everybody's doing something. But in the second dream, nobody's working. Everybody's just there, the sun, the moon, and the stars. But there's no activity. There's no doing. There's no mice. So I think we listed off just now six or seven questions. Bezer Hashem, we're going to get back to all of these questions. You guys all know this nigun. By the way, I'm Josh. He's a nice to meet you. I learned here a little while ago. You all know this nigun. It's an awesome nigun. And the nigun's origins actually start out very slowly.

And that's actually how you really get into it. So, just start it with me slowly. You know the nigun. The second I start you'll get it and then we'll really get into it. Diddidah yah yah yah yah

The tab in our parsha are the dreams of the butler of parai and the baker of paro.

And they're in jail with Yossef HaTzadik and Yossef offers to interpret their dreams. They tell them their dreams. What were the dreams? So the wine steward, the butler of Paro, says that in my dreams there was a vine before me. Gephen Lofanay, there was a vine before me. And in the vine of Gephen Shloishes Srigim there were three branches. Vikaparosos Alshenitzah, and it was like it was blossoming. And he took these ripe grapes and he squeezes them in his hand and he puts them into the cup of paro and he gives the cup to paro. And Yosif El-Saddik interprets his dreams and he says the three branches represent three days and in three days you're going to be restored to your position as the wine steward, as the sommelier of paro. The chief baker also has a dream. He sees that Yesel Fazadeq has interpreted the dream of the wine steward for a good simon.

So he comes to him, Mr. Hamahinudy Gemara Ambrachos, that says that the dream goes Kephi the way you interpret it. So he comes to him and he says, I also had a dream. In my dream there were three white baskets on my head. And in the uppermost basket there were all of these baked goods and then birds came and ate them out of the basket and I wasn't able to deliver them to Pharaoh. And Yisrael once again interprets the dream and he says in three days time you'll be hung by your head and birds will come and eat your flesh. And that's what happens. We know that Yosef HaTzaddik asked the wine steward to please remember him when he gets out of jail and we know that the wine steward forgot, the butler forgot and Yosef HaTzaddik because of this Chazal tell us that he languished in jail for two more years because he had a lack of bitachim so once again we're just going to ask a bunch of questions we'll see at the end everything is going to fit together. First of all already many Rishaimim asked the kasha why in the world would Yosvat Tzadik be punished. We all know the marshal of the person who had this by a friend of mine.

A friend of mine in Hurricane Sandy, he went to his In-laws house to take care of them because he didn't know what was going to be in their house. He brought his whole family to his In-laws house. His In-laws live on Branch Boulevard in the five towns. Those who know Branch Boulevard, you know that there's a massive amount of water right behind the homes. And he told me that the water began to rise. So they went from the first floor onto the second floor and the water continued rising. So they went to the attic. And the water continued rising and it was at the last step right before the attic. He was on the phone 911 and he has his little children. His little children, it's a true Mysl, his little children and he thought this was the end. And he said, please just come take my children. I said I don't know, I'll figure everything out, but please you have to come save my children.

Imagine a person while Alayna was in such a position and they find themselves on the roof of their house and a boat comes by. He says no, the abishter is going to send me a shaliach, don't worry you can go. And a helicopter comes and offers to take them to safety. No, the rebbe nashlam is going to send me a shaliach to take me to safety, you can go. And finally the person drowns, comes up to Shammayim and the Kaddosh Baruch who says to him, No, who do you think sent you the boat? Who do you think sent you the helicopter? Yosuf HaTzaddik finds himself in jail. Doesn't he have an obligation to put in a little ishtables? It's not so yeshivish Yosuf HaTzaddik. He wants to do a little ishtables. It's so much ishtables to do. To come to the person that he just saved, that he just interpreted their dream, and to say, just if you could remember, to put in a good word for me. Any one of us would do that.

And yet we see that Yosuf HaTzaddik is punished. And there's many answers to this question. Tonight we're going to try to give a new one a little bit. Another question, if you actually look at the story, does the baker actually play any role in the story? Tachlis. What role does the baker's dream play? Pashtas, it plays no role because even if you wanted to say that it bolsters the wine steward's feelings about Yay Sifatzadik that he was telling the truth, we know that ultimately what happens, he forgets anyway. So, tackless, does the Torah need to tell us that there was a second dream? The Torah doesn't need to tell us that there was a second dream. It almost seems irrelevant. And last but not least, when we actually look at the two dreams, they at first seem very similar, but we're going to see that they're actually very different.

What's the similarities? They both involve the number three, three baskets, three branches. They're both serving paro, but that's where the similarities end. Whereas the wine steward, it says that he saw Gephen lafonnay, he saw the grapes were in front of him. When it comes to the baker, the bread is on his head. It's above him. The wine steward is involved in the process of making the grapes for paro. And when it comes to the baker, who you would naturally think that's what he is, he's a baker, the tiger doesn't tell us anything about the process. He's merely transporting the baked goods from one place to another. In the dream, the baker is very passive. The wine steward is very active. He's squeezing the grapes into the cup of paro. And ultimately, and I think this is the main difference, the wine steward is successful. He gets from one point to another, and the baker never actually gets his baked goods to paro.

There's one major difference, not in the dreams, but in the way that Yossef Atzadeq interprets the dreams. The difference is, and it's a critical difference, very subtle, but it's very critical. The difference is that Yossef Atzadeq interprets the dreams very differently. When it comes to the wine steward, he says in three days' time you will be saved, and you'll once again serve paro, Which means that he understood the dream Kipshuto. But when it comes to the baker, listen to the Chachmo of Yay Sefatzadik. What does he tell him? You are the bread. In three days time, just as the birds ate the bread, so too you will be eaten by the birds when you're hung upon that tree. What gave Yay Sefatzadik this insight? That when it came to the wine steward, he should interpret the Chaloyim Kipshuto. And when it came to the baker, he said, no, you are the bread. It's all a mushroom. What gave Yossef Fazadik that insight?

Isra Shem after this next niggin, we're going to ask one last round of questions and then we'll go into some truths.

What Sharevah writes in the back of any Chabad city, you'll see a bunch of letters and a bunch of notes that he wrote about different things that lavatures do.

One thing he wrote about Fabrengen, he said when people meet up once or twice a week, once or twice a week, maybe start a little more, right? If you don't. But once or twice a week, if you meet up, if people meet together and they sing together, they talk about each other's difficulties and their struggles and they're just real and they're just real and they're comfortable and they're open with themselves. There's nothing crazier that could, there's nothing more impacting and growth oriented that someone could do. It's like group therapy in a sense. So really when you're singing it now let's continue but really get into it, don't just let it fly, be in the moment.

The dreams of Paro. We'll start to answer up so many of the questions that we've asked.

Paro has two dreams, we know that they're really one dream, just more intense. The first dream as we know is seven fat cows and seven skinny cows standing on El Sva Sayar, they're standing On the banks of the river and the seven skinny cows eat the seven fat cows but they remain skinny. And in Paro's second dream it's very similar. There's seven fat years of corn and they're eaten by seven meager and ugly years of corn. But we see no improvement in the corn. Nobody could interpret this dream for Paro until Yossef Hazzadah came and he said, there'll be years of plenty, there'll be years of famine, so you have to put away in the years The years of plenty for the years of famine. We'll ask three more questions and then we'll start to give to Ruzim. The first question is what bothers Pharaoh so much? He's so moved by these dreams.

The second question is, it doesn't seem like such a difficult interpretation. Yayasifatzadik, we don't see the genius of Yayasifatzadik, but there's some genius here because not only is Yayasifatzadik able to interpret these dreams, but his response seems to be so profound, so moving, so inspiring, that he's immediately promoted to be the viceroy of all of Mitsuraim. What was the great pittaroun, what was the great answer that Yayasifatzadik gave, that He wasn't just an interpreter of dreams, but now he becomes one of the leading politicians, if not the leading politician in the land. So I want to tell you a deep concept in Chassidus now to answer all of these questions. It's one concept, and it's very simple. It's something I think everybody here will understand intuitively. There are two types of relationships. Each one is important. That is what we'll call a functional relationship and the other is what we'll call an authentic or an essential relationship.

A functional relationship means I need you for something. You provide for me a service. And the relationship is built on that service and if you don't provide that service anymore so then the relationship falls apart. In a certain way, this relationship has the capacity to be very debilitating. It doesn't have to be, but it has the capacity for such. Because when a person needs from somebody else, what's the feeling that they have? I couldn't do it alone. I couldn't do it alone. I needed you for this. And if a person will take advantage of that, it could make a person feel very W AMZQS In the second verse, He resistance, all of the people are happy but our lives are so low, and then there's the essential relationship, the authentic relationship. The authentic relationship is I don't need you at all, there's nothing about you that I need, but I can't live without you because I am so sure to you, I am so connected to Atalman called me just this week. The question, he's in Shaddokim. Certain things in the Shaddokim he's not a hundred percent about. But he says, Rebbe, I've never felt so connected to another person in my life. If you've never felt so connected to another person in your life, you have to

figure out what's going on over here. It's such a deep connection. It's such an essential connection. When a person experiences an authentic and an essential connection in a way that's functional, it could be the most beautiful thing in the world. It could be that I love you so much I want to serve you or Chasvashalom, it could become a matzev where a person says, I feel so connected to you, but our relationship has just become about what we do for each other. Like we said before that, Marshall from Rav Weimberger. Parents know this. What do we spend so much time talking about? We spend so much time talking about our kids. Every couple in the world at some point makes the decision, okay, we're going to go out on a date and we're not going to talk about our children. So after 10 minutes they have nothing left to talk about. Because what have they been talking about for the last 20 years of their life? This kid needs this and this kid needs, and we're running to this therapy and to that therapy and to Take this kid to the dentist and this kid to the doctor.

So it could be that an essential relationship, in a certain way it loses its luster. It falls into the functional relationship. And the Torah that I want to share with you tonight is that these were these three dreams. We'll go through them together. In Yossef al-Sadaq's first dream, everybody's working. It's a functional relationship. Lomaisah we need to eat. So we're all bundling sheaves. We're all getting together and we're working. There's activity going on and we're all doing it. Yosuf says my parents aren't there in this tree. We're sustaining each other. Our parents, they don't need to be sustained by us. We need to sustain each other and envision dream the sheaves bow down not to Yosuf but to his sheave. Not to Yosuf. It's not about the person in a functional relationship. In a functional relationship it's about the service that you provide. Kaviyazel, to use certain terminology.

When your UPS guy comes to the door, his job is to put the package in your hands and say, sign here. Nothing more should be going on. If your UPS guy comes to your house and looks lovingly at you and says, sign here, something is off. What's that guy from To Catch a Predator? He's like, he's a terrible person. Just sign here. It's a functional relationship. I don't care who my UPS guy is. I just want the package. The first dream that Yisrael Eretzadik has, it's a functional relationship. Anichashv kameis Haver, do you know what it means? I hope you don't. Do you know what it means to be poor? Do you know what it means to be in a school of wealthy kids when you're the only one that doesn't have so much money and it's clear from the clothing that you wear, from the sandwiches that you bring in, from the sandwiches that you bring in, from the sandwiches that you bring in, from the food that you bring in.

Yoysef Fazadik was saying to them, from a functional perspective, you can't do it on your own, I'll be supporting you. So they hated him. They weren't jealous. They hated him. Yoysef Fazadik is telling his brothers something. He's not randomly telling his brothers something. He's not a So they hated him. They weren't jealous. They hated him. Yois Fazadik is telling his brothers something. He's not randomly telling them his dreams. He's telling them something. He's saying there's going to be a time when you need and I'll have. That's a very difficult thing for people to hear. But Yois Fazadik has another dream. The relationship advances. It's no longer just a functional relationship between him and He said we are connected in the most cosmic way. Just like everything in the solar system is deeply connected. Everything has rotations around each other. He says we are the sun, the moon and the stars. And if you will notice in this dream, there is no function. Nobody is doing anything. And of course, here, Yaakov and Billah are part of the equation because it's no longer just me and my brothers. But it's our whole family. We are essentially connected.

No matter how far a child strays from the parents, he is always the child. And it doesn't matter if he goes to the farthest corners of the earth, you are still a child. I know a young man who unfortunately comes from a very, very difficult family situation. And at some point, Heoeem Mamesh ran away from his father. When I say ran away, I mean in every sense of the word. He left his father's religion, he moved to a different country, and he stopped talking to his father. For months he stopped talking to his father. I was in touch with this person, and then his father got sick, his father, Lo'alenu, has cancer, and he's reestablished the relationship with his father, Do not laugh at me because it's not my father. He is my father. He is my father and he comes to Yisrael to visit his father now. Because no matter how far you stray in an essential relationship, in an authentic relationship, you can't leave. It's not Shaykh to leave. You just feel like something is off in your life. And the message that Yo Yisrael Fattzaddehi is trying to tell his brothers is, please don't hate me because one day I'm going to share with you everything that I have. I want you to know that our relationship means so much more to me than that. It's an essential connection.

Yisrael is upset at him for saying this dream because he says there's something off. Rachaliminu is dead. But what does it say? Vavuv Shamara Sadavar. Yaakov Avinu knows something is going on now. Why? Because Yaysef At-Adak is expressing something nafshi. He's not saying functional anymore. He's saying something about the nature of all relationships. This is something that needs to be paid attention to. This is something that Yaakov Avinu is mitsapah. That we're going to be waiting for a time when everybody in the world is so deeply connected. And what's the brothers reaction here? The reaction is no longer hatred. What's the reaction? The reaction is jealousy. Because when we see other people and they're so deeply connected to themselves and they're so deeply connected to other people There's a kinah saifram. The kinah saifram is I want to be like that. I was sitting today in my office with a Rebbe who came from America Mevaseret Shmoozing and he mentioned and I'm going to mention the name of this Tzadik.

He mentioned a Tzadik that he had the privilege of working with for many years. This Tzadik's name is of Mordechai Finkelman Shleetah. Some of you might know. If anyone here went to Dora Golding you might know of my Mordechai Finkelman. Jake, you know Rabbi Finkelman? It's okay, one day we'll be talking about him like that. I want you to know Rabbi Finkelman was my 7th grade Rabbi. You know Rabbi Finkelman? He spoke here in Yeshiva once. I want you to know something. Toutgutim. I know how to daven today only because I saw Rabbi Finkelman Daven. Anybody who's ever seen Rabbi Finkelman Daven you'll see it's like the reeds swaying in the wind. He has the most beautiful shakom. He's at Sadik Yisrael Eulim. In every sense of the word. I watched every single day as a 7th grader. I knew that I was in a room with an Ish Qadosh Vatar. So I'm sitting in this office with this Rebbe from America and we're trading Rabbi Finkelman stories and he's telling me a crazy story. And I'm telling you, Am I telling him a crazy story? Can I ask them the following question? Why can't I be like that?

I'm not like that, but Chal, like anybody who knows me even a little bit. I have no Shemets of that, like Sitgos. He radiates. He's dripping with Sitgos. So this Rebbe had a very good insight. He has no sarcasm. He has no cynicism. He's so deeply connected to himself and to the world around him that all he sees is beauty. And by the way He is a very real person but all He sees is God's beauty. I want you to know the feeling that He evoked in me when we started talking about my seventh grade Rebbe today was like, I'm so jealous. I wish I had that life. I wish that I was just able to see the beauty in everything to be dripping with sweetness. Mamish Misuqchildvash, you meet Him and in 3 seconds you know I would be with Him forever wherever He goes.

This is the level that Yossef Fazadik had achieved so his brothers were not, they didn't hate him anymore. They were jealous. We move on to the second set of dreams. In the second set of dreams, there's a wine steward and there's a baker. The wine steward is the authentic relationship. The baker is functional. Think about the baker's dream. It's all about getting something from point A to point B, but he's not actually involved in the process. He doesn't care to be involved in the process. He just wants to get what he needs to do, what he needs to do. I need to get the bread from here to there. What's described, not what's in front of him, but what's upon his head. And lamisa, there's no process, there's no love. All there is is a delivery service. He's purely functional. So what happens? The birds come and they eat the bread. Why? Because I'm telling you a secret now.

If you exist in a functional relationship, ultimately the relationship will end. Functionality eventually will be replaced. Somebody told me this week that the last blockbuster in America closed. I don't even know if you guys know what blockbuster is. But it used to be that on a Saturday night, we didn't know it was Masey Shabbos back then, but on a Saturday night, what did you do? You went to Sabras, they didn't have days back then, you went to Sabras, Halav HaShalom, you went to Blockbuster, you picked out a movie, this was a Masey Shabbos activity. But the functionality of Blockbuster, Lomaitza eventually you lose it. Because we have other things now. Other ways of getting everything into our lives. Every functional relationship will eventually end. It can be replaced by a greater functionality. So listen to how Yosifatzadik interprets the dream. You're not really here. It's not really the bread. It's not really about making the bread.

You're the bread. Eventually you'll be hung because he sees in the dream itself. This is the genius of Yayi Sivatzadik's interpretation. If it's you, you can never be replaced. But if it's functional, it won't last. But when you look at the wine steward, when you look at the sommelier, it's all about the process. The Gephin is lofanay. And I was squeezing the grapes. You could almost, if you pay attention, you could hear the love of the Gephin. The love that he has for Pharaoh, the privilege that he has to serve. It's all about everything that he did and ultimately what? Whereas the baker, his whole job was to get it from point A to point B and ultimately he fails. By the wine steward, he succeeds. Why? Because this is the catch-22. If the relationship is authentic, then the functionality flows beautifully. It's an unbelievable thing.

You see people that have beautiful shalom bias. You know what the key is? The key is they love each other so much, so Mamelah they do. And then there are couples that they've lost sight of that love. So Mamelah, what happens? They do so much for each other, but where's the being? Yayzafat Tzadik and his dreams, and the second dream with the sun, the moon, the stars, there's no doing. All there is is being. We get so consumed by the doing that we forget about what it's really about. And that's why you have so many, so many men and so many wives and so many male that are like they're just fighting with each other because they don't understand. Their home since I do so much for you. What's the wife say, hey, I wish you would do less. What does the husband say if I did less, you wouldn't have this and you wouldn't have it, just I want you, how many times in yeshiva?

How many times in Yeshua do I hear from the boys? I know my father loves me. I know my father loves me because he does so much for us. But Rebbe, I have no relationship with him. He's so not around. The greatest gift my father gave me is even though he worked so hard during the week, and he mamish worked hard, and he was on flights all the time. He was traveling everywhere. First of all, he always came back that night. Very rare that he stayed overnight. He always came back. I want you to know that every Shabbos morning after Ashkam Minyan my father would send my mother out to some long Minyan. We davened Ashkam and Yom Yisrael Farakwe. We were in and out. He would send her to the white shul so it would be like a four or five hour davening, like a Roshan davening every Shabbos.

And my father would sit with me and my brothers and he would play games with us. I want you to know it's been 30, 30 plus years since I played those games with my father. But I could feel how important I was to him. You know where my father wanted to be on Sunday afternoon? I promise you. You know where he wanted to be? He wanted to be watching the Jets game. I grew up in a family of, for whatever reason, all the teams were like, it was the Mets, it was the Jets. There was never going to be a winning season, but like there was a feeling like I want to watch the Jets game. A man worked so hard the whole week. Baruch Hashem was Matzliach, but he worked so hard the whole week. I knew he wanted to be watching the Jets game. You know where my father was every Sunday afternoon? He was my little league coach.

And if he wasn't coaching my team, he was coaching my brother's teams. Why? Because lemaisah. Lemayseh He wanted us to feel that as busy as He was, it was only for us. It wasn't a shot that I saw in my father every single day. It could be that sometimes he came home at 10, 10, 30 a night and I was sleeping. I was a little boy. But I knew my father cared. I remember the times that he would come in and just peek in even though I was sleeping. You wake up a little bit from the lights. When you have such a hava for somebody, it stays with you. The function flows beautifully. Rebbe becomes about the functionality. What are the guys telling me? Rebbe I have no relationship with my father. I know he cares, but I have no relationship. Why did Yaysef Fadzadegh get punished with an extra two years in jail? It was wrong for him to put in a little ishtavos. It was wrong for him to go vote. A little ishtavos. A little ishtavos. Just saying a word. A little ishtavos.

If you listen deeply you can almost hear Hakadosh Baruch Hu's message to Yaysef Fatsadik. What was the message? The message was this is not a time of function Don't use people in a functional way. Look at the baker. He's a functional person. Don't do that Just sit just sit for now. Just be Because there's a plan here. Just be Yayyisifatzadeq in a certain way he missed his own message. The message was can we just be together? I know you're languishing in jail, but can you find me in that tachtenim of a jail in Mitsrayim? Just be. Don't try to. It's not the time to be functional. It's not the time for Ishtadlis. It's not that there's not a place for Ishtadlis. Of course there is. But for Yayyisifatzadeq, the avoida was can we just be together right here in this place? Another phone call today, Amaisir Shaohayo. This is a Tamida who's we should never understand in our lives the suffering that this girl is going through.

The amount of people in her family that are sick and it's such a misubach situation running to hospitals all over the country and she's in such pain and rightfully so. And she says, Rebbe, it's so hard to daven. It's so hard to daven, I feel so hurt by Hakadosh Baruch. And what do you say to somebody when they say that? What's the answer? There's no answer. There's no words. So I said to her like this, maybe the avodah is for right now, in this place of terrible Yisrael, just to tell Hakadosh Baruch Hu how hurt you are, just to open up that dialogue and to say, Yayzeh Fatsadik interprets the two dreams of Parah. And what does he say? In the times of plenty, you gotta put away for the times of famine. So that in the times of plenty, you gotta put away for the times of famine.

Yisrael Eretz Yisrael Eretz Yisrael Eretz Tov yat Kislev fabrengen shaal When there's plenty, you've got to put away for the times of famine. This is not just an interpretation of a dream. Yosif Hatzadik is sharing a G-einaseer. He's saying, parom, the problem has embedded in it the solution. That's the genius of Yosif. If that's the case, you should be the viceroy of Mitsrayim. It says the Labavacharevi. And this is like the most incredible vort. You know you're in Yeshiva and what better place in the world to be with such a growth oriented Chav, with such incredible Rebbeim. And it's mamish and special place. Here we are, it's midnight. It's midnight and what are we doing? In our lives, what are we doing at midnight? In midnight we're sitting in fibrang and talking about how we could get closer to Hashem. Is there going to be a better time than this?

Probably not. But what happens when it's not so good? What happens in 3, 4, 5 years from now where you're running around and you have midterms and finals. What happens when you start to get confused? All the different things that come up in your life, all the dating Shilohs and dating is the great equalizer and then marriage Shilohs and then having children and sargidobanim and getting a job and I went to Sysim so I'm already an accountant and I'm doing all the Jewish things but Lomisa it's so hard to feel that passion. The Godless of Yayh sefatsatah because he teaches us that in the times of plenty you got to put away for the times of famine. You have to train yourself now to be loyal so that when you don't want to be loyal, you'll be loyal because that's the litmus test for an authentic relationship.

The whole story of these dreams and they all come together, they're in pairs because they're a yin yang. They speak to each other in these dreams. Are we going to be functional Jews or are we going to be authentic Jews? Are we going to say the words of the sinner or are we going to dive into Hashem? Are we going to learn at Teisvos or are we going to learn at Dvair Hashem? I heard a, I don't know if anybody ever heard this, it's unbelievable. Somebody said that they asked Dvair Lichtensim, Zeichat Sadakah Vrakhe, they asked Dvair Lichtensim, Gemara is not relevant to me. So he said okay, I want to answer the question but instead of saying Gemara can we just say Dvair Hashem? Because once you say dvayar Hashem the whole thing changes. Imagine a person, it's easy to say Gemara is not relevant to me. Do I care if this ox gored that? But once you say dvayar Hashem the whole thing changes, right? This dvayar Hashem is not relevant to me. It grates on the soul to say something like that. So which relationship are we going to have? But we finish, we finish with what? We finish with the dreams of Parah. Put away in the Toms of Plenty for the Toms of Famic. Because this world is going and it's a good thing. Lower

and lower. Direh betach tainem. When we reveal Hakadosh Baruch Hu in the lowest place, that's when we're actually bringing Mashiach into the world. You want to know when the most important time to serve Hakadosh Baruch Hu is? When you don't want to. If you want to serve Hakadosh Baruch Hu, it's possible that it's for you. It's possible that it's for you. Today so many people treat tefillah like a vending machine. Rebbe how come my tefillah aren't being answered? I pressed A1, I put in my 75 cents. How come I'm not getting my chips? But Rebbe I'm shuckling like I'm having a seizure. How come it's not happening? Because it's not a functional thing. How many times do we get the question? Like why am I doing all this? So like one day in Shamayim I'm gonna have like castles Questions you would never say that in any other relationship you would never say to your wife like all right if you want me to like Take out the garbage so like no Don't be sick But people say it all the time about their Yiddish kite like it's nothing. Tell me the Aramcha say what does it mean matai?

when When will Mashiach come? Matai means mitzvah shuva and yisurim When you can find the kadosh baruch in your mitzvay, when you can find the kadosh baruch in your avayres by doing teshuva, when you can find the kadosh baruch when you're paying. What Yisrael means? I feel so broken. There are times when we wake up in the morning and the last thing that we want to do in the world is to put on our tvilen and dab into our tvilen. And there's no way, we say to ourselves, there's no way I'm going to have kavana. You schlep yourself out of bed and you put on your tvilen and you open the siddur and you say the words. And at the end of Davani you do not feel like you said a word. You should know that might have been the most important feel of your entire life. Because that was purely for our Kaddosh Baruch. There was no Givah there. There was no narcissism. There was no pressing that A1 and putting in your 75 cents.

That was for Hashem. How do you stay loyal? Now. Now you gotta be putting it away in the times of plenty. You got to set for yourself now, who do I want to be? What's the godless of this whole system of coming to Israel for two, three, four years? What's the godless of the system? It's all about one very simply aside. Who are we? That's the question we have to ask ourselves over and over and over again. Who are we? And Klal Yisrael's answers for generations, that has always been what? We are your loyal servants. And it didn't matter how far removed we were, and it didn't matter where we found ourselves, whether it was in the inquisitions or the crusades or the holocausts whether it was fighting for Eretz Yisrael it didn't matter where we were our answer has always been Iqbin ayid I'm a Jew.

You know where we became yiddin? We became yiddin when it was so difficult and we showed ah it's really who I am. I'll tell you a personal ma'isa and we'll finish with this. Some of you know this story already because I've hung out with some of you for a couple years already but My daughter, who I loved dearly when she was a very, very, very little girl. She got her finger chopped off in the door. You know those Israeli doors, those heavy, heavy Israeli doors? So my wife was baking chocolate chip cookies, and my kids were stealing the chocolate chips. So she kicked them out of the kitchen, and they went to play a game. What game do little Israeli girls play? Shabbat HaDakah collector. One of them goes to the outside of the door and knocks on the door. The other one opens it up and Shishipos looks and says, collecting for My son Uzakhasen. We call it training for life. My little daughter had her thumb in the door.

My other daughter slammed the door in her thumb. Not going to get into all the details of this story. It's an amazing story. I'll tell you one bit of the story just because it's Sogeshma. When we got to Hadassah, they had to take an x-ray. Think about that for a second. What was the x-ray going to show? I tried to explain to the medical technicians who of course are much smarter than I am. They have tremendous training. I tried to explain to them, you just, you could like see it. So no one needs to take an x-ray. And they took an x-ray and they came back and they said, your daughter's thumb is chopped off. It's a true story. You can't make that stuff up. Lemisa, and this is another great part of the story, they came in the end and they said, I'm sitting there holding my daughter, and they said, okay, we have two options.

Option number one is we could sew her finger back on. Option number two is we could just leave it and we could just sew the skin over it. So I was trying to understand, I said, is there something we're going to be missing? If we just put it back on, is it dangerous? They said no. Actually it's better because even if it doesn't take, it'll be like the best possible band-aid. So yeah, I assume they've gone through medical school. So I said, you know, if somebody asks you, like, what the problem is, we assume, no, this is the better option, you should do that. I said, okay, let's just do it. I couldn't take it anymore. So I said to them, okay, how do we do this? You know, Eretz Yisrael, we have come so far. We've come so far. Medical technology and Eretz Yisrael's off the charts.

I thought that they would have had some like crazy lasers that put it back on. So they said because your daughter had these choco chips, we can't really give her a heavy anesthetic. We could just give her like a topical anesthesia. And so what we're gonna do is we're gonna put her on this like bed and you, the dad, are gonna sit on her This is true. And one of us is going to hold the thumb and the other is going to sew it back on. So I said, okay, I told my wife, you go out. I told my mother, you go out. And I'm holding my daughter on the bed and she was very verbal at a very young age. And they started sewing her thumb back on. And my daughter started screaming. Because she was scared, not because she was in pain, because she was scared.

Abba get off of me. I want emo. Where's emo? Abba they're hurting me. Why are you letting them hurt me? And she's screaming this over and over again and it mamish took maybe seven eight minutes to sew the thumb back on But to me it felt like eternity and I want you to know that every minute I was just sitting there going like who cares just to sew the flaps back on I don't we don't need the thumb who needs a thumb, right? We just let's get out of here the most painful thing in the world He was a child. But then I had this second voice. This second voice said, this is what it means to be a dad, this is what your daughter needs right now. They sewed her thumb back on. And my daughter didn't talk to me for a year. For a year she didn't talk to me. When I would walk in the house she would run to a different room. I would say Shira, how are you? She didn't talk to me for a year.

Today Baruch Hashem Shira and I have a wonderful relationship. And we talk about how she didn't talk to me for a year. And she says I was little and I didn't understand. I want you to know that it was the greatest test of loyalty I've ever had to face in my entire life. Because every fiber of my being just wanted to rescue her. But rescuing her meant staying loyal. And loyal wasn't what she was screaming. Loyal meant doing the right thing. Rebbei Sayyid doesn't always have to be exciting. It always has to be who we are. We confused excitement for inspiration. You can always be inspired by your Yiddish kind, even when you're not excited. And if you look at the very end of the story, Taka, Yoysef's brothers bowed down to him, no? They bowed down to him in Mitzrayim because he provides sustenance for them.

Not for your family. At the very end of the story everybody bows down to Yeshe Temple. Why? Not because He provided for them, but because that's my brother. That's my brother. That's what Yeshe Temple says. Ani yayes Ha'udavichai We're a family. It's the greatest MUS Sur the brothers got. In the end, that jealousy that they had, Yeshe Temple achieved that. He went to the lowest places in the world, and what did he show? His loyalty to the abishtim. That's what makes Yeesha Fazadik a autzadeh. That he could go anywhere in the world and he's going to be exactly the same person All the nitziness of Yezha Fazadik are just to be that person. Rabb Jub Aysai want to bless us all in this new year of Chassidus. That we should be bundling sheaves together, taking things that are disparate and bringing them together as one.

But don't lose the functionality of your Yiddish kites for the soul and don't lose the soul for the functionality. You have to have both. You have to bring them together. We serve Hashem honestly, doing what he asks us to do, even when we don't want to do it. That's what makes us who we are. Bezer Hashem Yisvah Rach. In the Sukkos of all the tzedikim, but specifically in the Sukkos of the Altar Rebbe, the Talmud of the Magadimi Mezre, the Talmud of the Bashem Tov, we should be Zaychah this year, To learn this Torah, the Torah of doesn't matter where we are, this is who we are. Thanks so much for spending another beautiful Yachthas Lave with me. These are Shammesh Yerushal G'zecha, to share many more together. If I can, before the last, oh, in the beginning, I would just like to thank Verg so much for coming out tonight I'm sharing his beautiful, beautiful Torah. You can ask her, but at the beginning of the evening, I said, I apologize, I said I'm going to have to leave.

And I had to leave at a four o'clock phone call. I had a four o'clock phone call. I was supposed to call someone in America. V'nalom Malamalu. Amen.
