Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Beshalach & Yud Shevat

welcome to this week's tour list this week's total portion is parashas bashalach the question of the week is what is the quality of leadership and especially as we're celebrating this week the powerful day of yutra at the anniversary of the previous River passing away and there will be taking over the leadership of the Chabad movement so in this week's Torah portion the Torah tells us when the Jewish people were leaving Egypt by the leader of the Jewish people took atmosis the remains of Joseph and the verse says why did he why most hate the remains of Joseph because said that one day or someone's going to remember you and take you out of Egypt and then you should remember to take my remains out of Egypt so I can be buried in the land of Israel remember ask a simple question we know that when yaakovino Jacob the third of the Patriarchs passed away so he instructed his children to take care of him and to carry his coffin but he said the tribe of Levy the levite should not carry the coffin and they didn't now the question is a levite he's from the tribe of Levy so if that's the case why is he the one carrying Joseph's bones when there was a explicit instruction from yaakov that yak leave that this tribal Levy should not and the reason since they're going to serve in the temple so why all of a sudden this moisture have been a carrying Joyce and photographs but the remains there's plenty of other people that could have carried it and drama explains a fascinating idea and he said as follows why is it that the tribe of Levites did not work in the land of Egypt all the tribes were enslaved beside the land beside the tribe of levite why because since the tribe of levite were dedicated to work in the temple so when you're working for God there's no other responsibility you have stay focused on working for God and therefore even in Egypt when all the Jewish people were being persecuted and suffered and were slaves the tribes of Levi's were exempt because they were Servants of God now yaakovino we know that up until yakovino passed away as long as he was alive the Jewish people were not slaves they didn't suffer there was no persecution the minute Jaco avinu passed away that's when the suffering started so therefore yakuz said oh my children yes you have to take care of me bury me in the land of Israel but when it comes to the tribe of Levites you're going to be the ones working in the temple and by me passing away is the the the the the servitude of Egypt is going to start you can't you can't you can't be involved in bearing me because once I'm very that's when the enslavement starting in the land of Egypt and you cannot have any connection with any type of enslavement in the land of Egypt however now when you started as he told the Jewish people are going to leave Egypt take my bones out their son is going to remember you so now there's a whole different reality now the Jewish people are being freed now it's they're not going to work in the land of the beach they're being free they're being released they're becoming free people so once they're becoming Free People sure the tribal Levites can be part of it and specifically why because now there's a shift there's a whole shift from being slaves to being free and that's why moisturbania was involved in it so the answer the question what's the quality of a leader a leader is involved in bringing freedom and happiness to people and that's the connection when you tracked we know that the previous rib and the rabbi brought happiness Freedom physical Freedom Financial Freedom spiritual Freedom any type of Freedom that's what the khaban movement announces they're ever brought to us so let's hope and pray we all experience real Freedom real happiness in the spirit of going out of Egypt where we're free and the spirit that when it comes to taking out Joyce's bones because we're going out of Egypt everyone's involved we should all Merit to be leaders and to bring freedom and happiness to all the Jewish people thanks so much for joining us for our weekly tour lesson this week's Torah lessons dedicated to memory of Barkman you'll save usara may your souls be elevated by the Torah was studying in the memory for more information please share our website khabarswf.org have a great and blessed week shavua tov
