Miketz - Be An Individual

Hi, this is Evolvi and welcome to the para in five where in five minutes we try to give you a little insight into the parha that hopefully will add to your shabas experience. Paras meet kates we all know the story. The brothers come down and yose pretends he doesn't know who they are and he throws Shim in jail and uh he sends them back home and he takes their money bags and puts it in the bags of grain. So when they get to the inn, the Pik says, "The one opens up his bag and he sees his money there and they tell all the brothers and they all realize, uh-oh, we're being framed." Who opens the bag? It says, "The one opens the bag. Who's that?" says Rashi is Ley because throughout the entire story till now it's been Shim and Ley and now that Shim's not there, Ley is her. Now far be it for me to take a parnosa away from a hardworking mafurish. But why does Rashi have to tell us it's Ley? Why didn't the Torah just write and Ley opened his bag? Why do you have to say and then we need Rashi to tell us it's Ley? Because now that Shiman's not with him, Ley has an opportunity to be her e to become the one which he does because starting now without shiming around ley is able to become the individual. So when everybody is sucked into slavery by pyro in the let's rebuild Egypt project, Ley says we're not going. When they built the Ago, Ley said we're not participating. Ley stands alone. And Ley and Shim finally meet again. The part of Ley is played by Pinhas and the part of Shim is played by Zimri. And when no one else knows what to do because of Zimre's sin, this M for this plague is coming that's going to destroy the Jewish people. Pin stands up alone in front of everybody and kills him. He does it on his own because he's willing to be haek is a time when we say we stand up against the world. We don't care if everybody becomes Greeks and everyone become hellist and everyone gets sucked into that western culture. We will remain alone. Yeah. We remain our own people. We keep our integrity. And so uh the message of her is for every one of us. We all have to strive not just to be part of the group, not just to do what everyone else does. Why' the monkey fall out of the tree? He was dead. Why' the second monkey fall out of the tree? He was dead. Why' the third monkey fall out of the tree? Pure pressure. At some point we have to stand up and be prepared to beem. We should have that to stand up against everybody and all of our enemies. Have a great chabas.
