hi this is dski welcome to the para in five we're in five minutes we give you insights into the para par Vos where in we have the dramatic confrontation between Yehuda and Yosef and we finally have the tearful reunion of CLA Israel as Yosef pulls off that little hat with the little turban with a little snake on it and says guys it's me don't let that little rectangular beard throw you off I'm yose and they're like oh my gosh I didn't see that coming and they all get together and they all cry and now they go back and he says bring my father Yakov down to mitzraim the gis is about to start and they go back and they say okay let's get this clear right Yakov at this point he's 130 years old he's been mourning yose for 22 years he hasn't had any Kesh he's in a very delicate State and the brothers want to come in and say know y who you thought was dead turns out he's alive and they're afraid that the shock would shock Yakov and he would die so they were in a quandry how do we break the news to Yakov in such a way that the shock doesn't kill him so so they know that Yakov has a granddaughter sarak baser and she played the harp and sang so they said maybe sing the news to Yakov so he will get it indirectly and so sbas starts to sing oh o y everybody now I don't know how anyone knows what the tune was but every time I've heard anyone sing it when the kids come back from gun they always use that tune now it's a carak tune now I understand why because if there's a girl who plays the harp and sings M she's a kak now I have no proof to support that that is my own Theory yeah yeah and Jakob hears this and he's like but what is this yosef's alive it's impossible could he really be alive Sak what are you singing and then she says uh um you know uh whatever say going to a whole medley and the brothers say yeah it's true we went down to Egypt and it turns out this guy is really ysep goes but how what where when goes I don't know I can't F in the details but he wants you to come down to Egypt we'll talk about it wow what a story and like all good stories it has a epilog what is the epilogue of the story saser is still alive in the time of D she is the who saves the city she lives for hundreds of years why CU she used her if you appreciate the expression her god-given talent to sing and play the harp I've never been able to play an instrument and I never learned as a kid all right it's too hard for me now because the diabetes and has killed my fingers so there's no way that I could actually play uh and instrument because I can't get my fingers to work yeah but um uh there are certain people who just are not talented you know um the only instrument that I was ever able to play was a kazoo and I don't know if that even qualifies actually I bought myself a tambourine I brought a professional tambourine so I bang my tambourine you know I mean so that's that much I can manage I never know and then I shake it you know but uh but it's be able to sing is a god-given talent some people can't they're toned deaf some people don't have a nice voice allha did was use the talents that already gave her properly and that's what resulted in this tremendous reward because you don't have to uh fly you don't have to go to the Moon you just have to look at what gave you and use those talents in the service of Hashem to make the world a better place and who will grant you the reward that you deserve chabas
