Parshat Miketz: Paro’s Nightmare By Rabbi Ari Kahn

fora um arene who has been coming for years and years and years so she's having a procedure she had a med I mean anybody's on the chat saw that there's some medical Intrigue so she should have herish L together with all others who are wounded and sick [Music] including Shirley which by the way that her name I have written down in my in in my electronic sitter with my list of names okay so we're going to talk about parro you know why we're going to talk about parro we're gonna talk we're gonna talk about parro and I know that you think that Paro had dreams it's not really the case I'm not even I'm not even DIC did he have one dream dream two dreams all that doesn't concern me right now that wasn't his problem his problem is that he had nightmares it wasn't just nightmares he had night terrors parro parro had a problem but let's I I really want to go back a little bit and think about parro because once you think about it you'll realize what's really going on and you realize what the issue is and what the problem is and then maybe how Yosef becomes part of the solution I actually searched a little bit this week to see if anybody had ever written about uh psycho an analytical Freudian dream interpretation based upon Pyro's dreams and I didn't find anything good I didn't find like like really they just kind of left it so someone's going to have to go and do it and uh again maybe they're it's in more obscure places than I can than I uh was able to access but let's go back and first I want to think about parro and I'm going to sorry I'm sorry what I'm going to do right now I'm going to mix my metaphors which is absolutely terrible parro is something like Tony Soprano okay now not that I'm an expert in Sopranos far from it but at some point he also had to go to a therapist oh okay looks back up for some of you this will be easier if I told about analyze this where you have Robert dairo who goes and sees Billy Crystal I'd actually prefer to have Tony Soprano sing Billy Crystal and as I said I've completely mixed my metaphors over here because at least Billy Crystal is a nice Jewish guy who can make fun of him in yish if necessary and uh and he's funny you like him but but you realize the problem of somebody like that who's tough but not just tough they would kill people without thinking about it do do do we understand that which means parro there's a fly in his glass so then you get rid of the and yes yes I'm I'm I'm following the midash and that why would he get rid of his win stward win stewards are wonderful people you know why they're wonderful people they bring us wine right this this is not complicated so so again if you if you follow M oh there was there was a fly in the so that's simply somebody having anger issues who needs by the way not just anger issues he has anger issues lack of ability to exhibit proper control but on top of that it's that lives around him are essentially of no value and he can do whatever he wants and now or the baker if there was a hair in the cake or in the bread or whatever by the way if it's U brener playing parro then you understand why he's upset about the hair but again we're not would would we're not going down that path the larger issue over here is the understanding that parro is a really really bad guy again at least on any kind of moral level that concerns us and he's having nightmares now his nightmares also aren't that complicated which means one of the things there's completely and a number of the commentaries point this out which is completely perplexing is why are there not people who can tell them what's going on and and part of the reason is and there two sides of this one is he may not actually be telling them what's going on because he can't show that kind of vulnerability he can't sit and say listen I'm really worried over here and I had this dream and what because on top of everything else if your parro just on top of I mean when you look at your bio you're also a God or a couple of gods a com a conglom conglomeration of various Gods I mean being parro is a great deal of responsibility and any kinds of weak Ness may also be absolutely terrible in terms of your career so let's let let's just consider that for a second so you have now a combination of he really has nobody that he can talk to which is why he needs Billy Crystal he has nobody that he can talk to and he has nobody that he can tell what re what's really going on and once you combine all that together and by the way even if he said something to somebody they can say well listen parro this is your problem well this is what's going to happen over here because who can go and who can have a an honest conversation I was actually going to say something else which would have been good for Christmas but would have been bad for my career I would have said it come to Jesus moment but we can't say that right but uh but it was very good for Christmas but and I guess you really couldn't have that conversation with parro either right so who's gonna sit down with parro and and tell him listen this is what's happening over here and and and this is what you need to be concerned about because why because he'll kill you if there's a fly in the wine he'll kill you for less reasons so therefore you essentially have a very very bad client you're much better off doing like other things like turning water into blood and things like that and wowing him with the pyrro technices and all kinds of really groovy tricks and so on but actually talking to parro is something which I absolutely don't advise because uh you say the wrong thing you look the wrong way you uh give the you tell the future in the wrong way now can we start all over again what's really bothering parro as I said this part's really easy which means what is it that a person like parro is going to lay in bed at night and say oh my God or parro oh my God's like what what what what is going on in in my life I I know exactly what's bothering him what's bothering him is like every other leader who feels vulnerable is that he may lose his country and the implication of losing his country he may lose his life so therefore seeing something like something looking really good and really healthy and they're being swallowed up by something that doesn't look healthy do you want you want some dream interpretation right now I don't care I don't care anything else right now you want dream interpretation it's really not complicated the the the the thin hungry Warriors from outside the country or even in the country the slave class comes and murders the ruling class the fat people who are sitting around and living lives of luxury and therefore essentially say goodbye to you you had the good times and the good times are over and now someone else is going to be taking over the good times and essentially Egypt is going to be lost was that all that complicated Am I Wrong anybody could tell me that I'm wrong if you want to but you know the problem saying I'm wrong I'll kill [Laughter] you no no the problem saying that wrong is that you're kind of wondering well that makes a great deal of sense and and you're probably considering the possibility that I'm actually correct and and I'll tell you a secret I'm I'm correct I'm right I'm saying that's it's it's really we can have really short share now now we understand what Pyro's dreams were about now we understand what concerns him essentially the good life that him and all the royal class has because that's what ancient times were like you have different levels and the and the ruling class or the hyper ruling class the ult a rich class I mean this is this is who he is and what are his nightmares his nightmares is that he's going to lose it I'm saying this is not complicated I I I mean I could have done this for lots of people I could have done this for AOS also I could I you just plug in the corrupt bloodthirsty leader and I'll and I'll tell you the nightmares that they're having because it's all going to be the same I used to have a neighbor who was a nice Moroccan woman who was brought up in a traditional family and she married somebody they weren't really they weren't sh m shabas W in maybe a little I don't know and they were in and she always would come to me and say oh I had a dream every dream she had I would say oh God is trying to tell you that you need to be careful about Shabbat and T mishak and every dream she had and Kash and and once she actually had a dream she said he was an old man in my dream he looked very Pious and I think it was my grandfather and he wouldn't eat my food I I said oh finally I said well I'll tell you what it is your grandfather's very concerned that you're not keeping sh enre and and that and that the food may not be up to his standards and okay so as I said dream interpretation so easy you just have your interpretation wait for someone to tell you the dream and then uh essentially all things are solved so yeah we could do the same thing with parro we we already I didn't say anything I'm not being paid enough to analyze them which means I'm implying it but I'm not saying it you know why because I don't know what their bandwidth is what they're capable of even thinking are they able to even contemplate such a thought because of they even contemplated such a thought they can get themselves in lots of trouble which means essentially you're asking me is how how strong is the Death Wish of those people so I'm going to say yeah so now we have a problem all the way around in terms of parro's having his his dream and or again I prefer nightmare he's having his nightmare and what in the world is he supposed to do about it because he's feeling vulnerable and he can't feel vulnerable he can't necessarily be truthful maybe we'll double down on that as we go on he um has people around who can't be truthful he has people around who maybe aren't even capable of thinking of the truth which is now getting back to your point and essentially he is in Quagmire which I don't even begin to understand how he can how this could he how he can escape from this and that's all in the introduction to our story so so I hope that help that helped a little bit because we just now made some room for yose because what's I mean again I'll give you the whole story right now what what's going to happen over here is that parro has a nightmare which is going to get turned into a dream and the perfect the perf perfect protagonist is Yosef who had a dream that got turned into a nightmare are we good okay yeah all this is making sense yes it's scary do you know we have guests who came today all the way from South Africa okay any of you know what it's like to travel to South Africa and then have an incredible bride but being taken to someone's house you never met and then on the bookshelf has a whole bunch of your books this happen no actually happened to meaning on also right okay and Las Vegas and okay say I should travel more so let's let's uh let's begin isn't that an interesting turn of phrase Yim Yim so can I tell you what date it was I'll tell you I know exactly what day it was and you're going to say why didn't I think of that you know why because I'm a professional it's P's birthday they no because two years before this the last time we were told was was his was his birthday yes yes now now now now we agree so should I tell you what day this is It's Pyro's birthday yeah I know I remember right we have to celebrate right yes somebody else's birthday coming up good so it's power's birthday which may add to this whole thing as well maybe in the day of her birth by the way you all got that that it's his birthday you because the last frame of reference we had was the whole story with the wine stward and with a baker and then yoseph says in three days paru is going to have a right in three days it was parro's birthday so now we're told it's two years of days from that day so it's two and it's being very precise it's being very precise so it's very being very precise so what day is it it's power's birthday so now you have one more thing to factor into it so how do you feel on your birthday so I guess it depends how you're doing right sometimes you sometimes you can reflect old old unless you can't feel anything then you think maybe you're dead so it it's certainly a time of reflection it's a time where perhaps even a sense of mortality but a sense of where I am and how I got here and where I'm going and so on so uh what an interesting day for pyro to have his nightmare good so just added a little bit more color to this whole thing so far we have Tony Soprano dressed up as parro laying in his bed having a nightmare and wake up in the middle of the night and screaming so I hope that you can all uh Vision this I mean the problem with everything I'm saying is that dead actor James whatever his name is and therefore if we even wanted to produce this now we can't although we can still still talk to Billy Crystal so and we would not talk to Robert DeNiro we have no interest anyway what correct we have no interest so continue and he says do all those words make sense to you you Mar is getting a little carried away with your uh rot basar is enough you want to look at a cow what are you looking at come on what health yeah good healthy cow we all know how that you know proceeds down the line with a good healthy cow right you're looking at the fat content and we'll stop we don't want everybody get hungry at this time of day but but to also say you f my is just a little funny it's a little it's a little fun it's just it's just a little funny now he's then going to continue and say so now you have the flip side thin cows very sad but now by the way throw the into all of this because the or of course is the Nile the Nile is part of this whole self per ction of parro of being a God and and I don't know if they worship cows I can't keep track what they worshiped in Egypt from what I understand that from what I when I understand that ah Michael's here they worshiped everything so it's it's one of these again of these false positives they worshiped everything but they worshiped Cows as well yes Michael's an expert in egyptology of yes see you have a problem over here again the problem with the Egypt is they wor it's like everything was worshiped over there but Cows as well it's it's wonderful so so it's it's great now you have parro who's a god who's dreaming about a cow who is a god next to the the Nile which is a God so now you realize that we're Satur exactly there there it's they're saturated but then to see a depleted to see a depleted cow would almost be the same thing as being seeing a depleted Nile and it's actually very interesting that depleted Nal in this whole story but that's more so with the continuation of it because exactly why is it that the cows are not looking so good so they're not looking so good apparently have nothing to eat nothing to eat why there's nothing to eat so apparently there's a drought which then takes us right back to y's interpretation which now wasn't all that challenging once you start thinking about the symbols but I'm going to say it again in a certain way the other thing is is when you talk about the sheaves and the sheaves why aren't they growing they aren't growing because there isn't water but why isn't there water in Egypt by the way this according to least some of themers is where the Comm where his advisers got stuck and now did they get stuck for practical reasons or did they get stuck for theological reasons because if in Egypt it's the Nile which is overflowing which is providing the water for the field so therefore they could not imagine a situation where the Nile is depleted now could they not imagine that because of basic um we weather patterns because of you know they listen to the news and the N is always doing this or is it because of theological concerns because the Nile essentially is a life force of Egypt they couldn't imagine the Nile being depleted for again these other types of reasons so I'm going to say it again is that their inability of interpreting the dreams may also come down to the this goes back to your question to their own theological boundaries that they have and therefore certain things are impossible so how can you even begin to suspect that there's going to be a drought over here where that is essentially in their minds impossible again if not impossible in terms of the real prediction of the weather but impossible in terms of the Nile being something for them which is much more than just a body of water good good did I tell you that we're going to talk about parro today okay anybody wants their money back afterwards I did not want to share and parro feel free so then it [Music] continues so he wakes up and that is such a horrific scene and I'm going to say it again at this point when par wakes up if he were able right now to quickly call his therapist and say you know I had this terrible dream well what is it that bothers you well I saw fat cow skinny cows right right okay isn't it like this died like ice cream called something skinny cows what a terrible thing anyway I spent all summer perfecting making ice cream I'm just going to say this perfecting making ice cream and uh you need a certain fat content to make ice cream the thing you're aiming for by the way is 20% Which is a little complicated in Israel based on what they sell and all the recipes talk about half and half guess what we don't have here anyway let us continue seven skin we don't care about skinny we don't we don't want to hear about the skinny cows um but if you but if you were pyro and called up your therapist and said skinny cows and says yeah what about skinny cows again what's really Bo bothering parro is he's afraid that he just got replaced because parro is not one of the skinny cows okay just just to be clear on that but they ate them and he woke up falls asleep somehow and he has a second dream and then seven sheaves come up and they're looking again which is similar but inverted of the previous description then you have the seven inferior sheaves and then you have the once again the in inferior swallowing up the inferior he wakes up again it's a dream and again if you're parro I know exactly I I told you already we all know now what's bothering him he's afraid he's about to be displaced um this is not complicated would have been better maybe if you had dreams with uh with alligators would have been what crocodiles crocodiles alligators Florida you know what I was talking Billy Crystal when old Jews retiring to Florida so we got alligators so crocodiles so yeah that would have been good get a big mouth opening up and swallowing the other one it would have worked as well but uh there are messages here and that word is one of the words that all the commentaries are going to be very intrigued with again his Spirit was so that that's one of the things that we're going need to figure out what that means he sent so again he calls the these guys are magic so it's interesting that he needs magic again he's not calling a therapist he's not calling the mental health people he's not he's not calling the people in the in in the hospital right he's calling and he tells them and there is no interpretation for parro so we're going to pause here for a moment because that these elements especially the last two verses are really what gets the commentaries going on let's let's just look Source number two he calls people he had people that can solve it interesting turn of phrase he couldn't hear it now now is that something at auditory that again is it just are his ears not working or is that that he has an inability of accepting it they told him now I I I want to show you how careful they're being and again good question is if this is their own limitations or it's their limitations because of their client oh you gon have Seven Daughters you're going to bury Seven Daughters now that's not such a nice interpretation and in order to in order to say that to parro you realize what else you need to do you need you actually think it's much worse and the closest that you are able to say is like this because this is catastrophic this is absolutely catastropic and I'm gonna say it again now I don't think they can say any worse than this I mean you're going to conquer seven countries and by the way the Symmetry should now be and then you're going to lose those seven countries what's the problem you can't say that to which means seven neighborhoods are G to rebel against you you're gonna conquer seven countries and seven neighborhoods by the way if we got to choose those neighborhoods that we're going to get rid of that that could also be something which is positive but they're going to be seven neighborhoods that are going to uh not not not be with you I'm going to say it again it sounds to me very much they know what they want to say but they they have a client who's not cooperative and uh saying the wrong thing could be uh unless they have malpractice insurance which covers death so this this this is a severe problem and when you read this yeah he doesn't accept because they can't say it so again I hope that that's clear rash let's just say right now his Spirit was somehow actually I want to use the word poim his heart is beating his heart is he has an increased heartbeat that that his heartbeat now his heart is racing not in a good way this drives him absolutely crazy he's he's he's going nuts it it is like it's like a bell or Metrodome if you will but it's really a bell he's using which is just that going back and forth banging within him and there's a similar phraseology with which Rashi sites I brought the source for you in Source number four but but the thing is the part of what happens over here is that par also forgot the dream and does not know the solution which means the way that rashi's describing this is that the problem that he's having is that he had this dream which he's taunted about but he can't remember all the details so you wake and that's that's why again what word did I use before a nightmare perro had a nightmare which he can't remember exactly what it is but he is still troubled by this because again if you want to move to Shakespeare something's a foot something's something is going on he knows it in every fiber of his being but he doesn't know exactly what it is and no one else can know what it is because he doesn't even necessarily remember all of the details and he doesn't know the solution there are suggestions in midash that maybe the solution was revealed to him but he forgot that also so therefore it's kind of like an it's analogous to when the gar says that we all learn all the Torah before we born and then we forget it and we then when we learn Torah we are reacquiring something that was once ours and therefore we know deep inside that it's true there's this acknowledgement before you're shaking your head you say yeah I know that that's true is that parro's solution to the dream is going to be the same thing because he heard the solution and everyone else is saying false Solutions and then only when he also says the true solution now he knows that's the correct solution because he was already told the solution beforehand so as I said all of that is nice as well and then Rashi also cites over here let's continue um the the which now you realize we saw from and they did not serve in any way to calm him down and it's interesting Rashi stops there he doesn't continue with the next part because again the next part is really hard to say I'm not saying this is easy to say but you only say both of these interpretations when you know that there's something which is so much more severe something which is so much which means essentially what is power's fear it's the same fear that the others have is that power is going to lose anything the fat cows are going to be gone skinny cows are going to replace them which means now just imagine that all the people in the prisons all the all of the prisoners are going to come out all the people who have been living these substandard lives are going to come out and kill the entire ruling class again these things happen right French Revolution England okay we have to wait a little bit these these things take place and that's essentially what they they all know but who can say that so therefore they only can go back to plan B yeah going to have seven doors and they going to bury them all and that that meaning that's the terrible thing which is going to take place because he they know it's terrible he knows it's terrible they all know it's terrible so now the only question is how many of the commentaries we need to go through that are all going to tell us the same thing in Source number five the rash nobody can say anything which can calm him down it's there is this um yeah it's going back and forth back for and and and again he's being tortured the that he keeps un vacillating again like the like the Bell going back and forth he keeps vacillating what this things means is that again he's being tortured it's going back and forth back and forth anything else you want to add from there that parro has anxiety the anxiety is torturing him and nobody has anything to say which can serve asav which can calm him down which can help him e and he brings some sources to this which means he is he is suffering again his heart he's suffering because he he's being tortured by what he has dreamed and that's why I I'm going to keep on saying this again it's not that pyro has dreams is that pyro has nightmares a lot of the Reon and will compare par with Danielle as we just now saw Rashi alluded to some go into it a lot more but again as I said that's not what concerns me parro concerns me the mha is can again this comes from the B ver n he says he so he actually uses K who say that dreams are interpreted based upon what the person says which means the interpretation is it's actually self-fulfilling prophecy the dream once you know what it means then that becomes what it means so he says it goes I don't understand K by the way even he says that Kaz say this K debate this if you actually look at that page in the gar there are two sides of this and some say that no dreams are just absolutely meaningless and the other says no dreams are based upon the interpret a they can both be true is that if you think dreams are meaningless dreams are meaningless if you follow the interpretation and you really believe it so then these things can become self-fulfilling prophecies so he says I don't understand what you see dreams follow the interpretation so again why essentially don't any of the interpreters give him a nice interpretation and that is what it's going to mean why just accept any of the interpretations and then be done with it when do we say that it follows the interpretation it's only when the person is satisfied and calmed by this particular interpretation none of these interpretations calmed him down because again deep down inside he knew that there was something so much worse which is going on and therefore essentially is inconsolable do we really need [Music] the he said that essentially he kept on forgetting the dream and he's saying is that all of this was done to make room for yose which means what's really the point of the dream yeah we get to write history we don't care about parro right let him have his nightmares who cares this is not about but but that's really important it's not about parro it's about Yosef and therefore he remembers him forgets dreams he's having trouble he's having anxiety he's having difficulty it's not about you right have to help someone this is not about you this is this is about y so that's really great because essentially we're Shifting the focus and maybe that's why I'm talking why am I talking about power today we should be talking about Yosef because this is really all about ysep that's really important um probably so much more so than letting on right now so let's continue a little more that's what I told you he saw the dream and the solution he remembered the dream but he forgot again there are different ways that different people nuances he remember the dreams he forgot the solution again the Seven Daughters why couldn't they figure this out this wasn't all that complicated seven good years bad years again see I don't know what to say if only post facto it becomes really easy or even beforehand it was easy but he's saying this shouldn't be so hard what is a cow it has to do with plowing again what's the what is the wheat about the wheat is about food bread and so on so this shouldn't be difficult and he says that most of the of the of the wheat grain comes with the power of the shore that is really really important I even bolded shore on that so hold on with that for a second they also have to do with [Music] plowing is all about the one who sits in heaven who causes all things to happen who is the one the god Who's involved and controls history that all of this was about that God caused the wise people not to be wise all of this was for specific purpose in order to take place as he says very clearly that the wise people become backward and their knowledge becomes silly this whole story is not about parro not about his nightmares not about his dreams not about his fears is not about his anxiety this whole thing is really about yose this this is our story this is not parro story this this is about yoseph and that that's just great the the way that he just you again turn the whole thing around and says yes of course that's what's really taking place over here and and he doubles down and says a little bit more about it um if you look at source [Music] is that he that when he wakes up in the morning he is so troubl he could not get on with his day he could not accomplish anything he couldn't do anything that he was just being everything he tried to do he could not get this out of his head and he was just being absolutely tortured by his uh by his dream he also goes into the site of the pon and I think that we've made enough progress in this towards the end of source 13 he goes a little bit into what I told you before about the way that the Water Works and why they could not their minds could not go there so just notice name y was able to look at the world differently than they could they just could not possibly see it so you'll realize that I borrowed some of what I'd said before from this Source over here part of what bothers power according to sh in 14 is so he's the only one who picked up on this that two years from the same day is actually the same day and it's on his birthday so he again decides that on his birthday God is sending a message and the message is about the future of Egypt and by extension his own future and therefore that uh he knows there's something here It's haunting him he does not know what it is and I think that we've gone quite far enough we're going to point out two more things and then I'm going to try to understand to all this the rashbam in s 15 now we didn't read this far so let's take a look first at the PK it's so we have to go back to the beginning and compare this here he tells the dream again here he tells the dream again to yoseph and one of the things you should notice is actually to again easy kind of thing to do line the two versions up one against the other and see how much they repeat or perhaps when they're a little different so again he's he's commenting just again look the and he added something all of that was not stated in the first Dream is that if you do actually the math or if you talk to your nutritionist if a Skinny Cow eats a fat cow The Skinny Cow should put on a lot of weight right this should not be complicated but nonetheless they remained unchanged which means the good was swallowed up by the bad and there's no memory anymore of the good and that's something which was not mentioned the first time and on this the r this he adds to now I remember that there's this other element so what the rasham just now did is he accounted for one of the differences and says speaking to Yosef suddenly something happened then he gets reminded now you if you choose to accept your homework sir 16 will make it very easy for you the Alek goes through every one of the differences and he points them out and he tries to solve them all and along the way he says many interesting things and I going to say it again the Alek is great over here he he is again the only one I'm sure he's not the only one who did this I'm sure other people but he really is careful about lining up the two versions of the story and one of them was actually dictating what which means one of them is really God's perspective by telling us what and the other one is parro speaking telling us what he saw which means the two different versions are not necessar coming from the same source and that also makes it interesting and if you look again quickly at source number [Music] 16 so he calls the first time around the way the Torah told it right our divine dictator God telling over mosha what to right as opposed to what parro tells over when he speaks to yoseph walking on water that it's all the more interesting that's that actually is really interesting because I'm not telling you why so on the that whole was missing that's the one that the rash pointed out a whole missing [Music] bu so we also don't know exactly when he told it over to the people how he told it over then especially if the rush bomb is telling us oh he remembered certain elements now so I'm going to say it again the interpretation of this is very challenging when we don't know how much he remembers we don't know how much he told we don't know how vulnerable he's willing how much of his vulnerability he's will to share with others so essentially interpretation here is really really going to be difficult and um let's try to figure all this out now I think we have enough information yeah you feeling we have enough you feeling we're not we're not quite there yet you're not you're not you're not there yet we are look at the gorar in 17 the second paragraph where it's bold G maharal it's the mahar's parish on Rashi the first part of it he explains Rashi about the about the Bell and the and the inner part of the Bell you know what the inner part of the Bell is called in Bal which is it's funny because my wife knows everything and I said you know why they called that hotel the Inbal next to ghon and she goes oh I never thought of that which is like the one thing I know that she doesn't know that she didn't know but now she does so yes the Inbal is the is the inner part you knew because the hotel or you just know everything also good G the Mah tells us the first part he deals with the pon and the Z and the IM all of those words are there second paragraph he writes he goes I found came across something they all WR this is such a good question if you're parro I'd have dreamed seven cows fat cows skinny cows oh you G have Seven Daughters yeah why are you calling my daughters cows one second that's such a great question that that uh yes it's such a great question why one second are my daughters the fat cows my daughters the K skinny cows I mean listen there are some boys who call girls cows but it's not nice this is not the kind of behavior we try to we try to uh encourage and it goes back but without encouraging you're talking about the father of the cow right now so again I don't know what the perception was at that particular point in history what was considered attractive I have a friend who told his wife that he looks like a model that she looks like a model then he says a model for Reuben which is not a very good thing to uh it's okay A lot of people don't know who Ruben is apparently okay now she he says no you gorgeous you just live in the wrong Century who and so on but why they called so that's also really interesting so far there are two things that I said that's really interesting so how are we doing we're doing okay so pyro has this screen pyro has a nightmare and in his nightmare everything's going to be destroyed and there's going to be a transformation the transformation is is that the fat cows are going to become skinny cows and something is terrible is going to take place because he really believes he's going to lose his country he really believes he's going to be replaced he really believes that he's going to get swallowed up and I'll say it again pyro is having nightmares and then the S maskim says you know what there's this evid by the way evid that's part of what the fear should be there's this evid in I who's in the prison who nonetheless knows how to give life he says a frightening sentence to him I think we discussed it last week he says that he was the one who determined that I would live and the other fellow would die and a lot of commentators have a hard time with that but he actually said it which is part of our problem and that's really interesting because what parro is concerned about right now is how life will get turned to death and here he's talking about somebody who can turn to life and Yosef gets brought to him which by the way that itself is a transformation going from life going from Death to life going from an existence of non-existence to but there's something else about yose which I don't want you to ignore because then we can begin to unpack and to understand this and that is in sorus 18 this is of course so there's only I think three who's who's described was was RI described in those ways those terms um s is described as beautiful RI described as beautiful rael's descri as beautiful yoseph described as beautiful and the cows are described as beautiful so he say which is the outline here well actually is ysf the outlier or is uh are the P or the cows outliers or are Yosef and the cows actually the same and I I did give you a hint before as well when I said yeah that's really interesting so so first of all the maharal that we just now saw he says that no that the cows actually it's the word Peru or Vu par means to uh to be fruitful multiply and so on so just a thought about Ys yosef's BR that he receives from yob is a br for fertility that that that again I hope you understand that it's very clear in the of all the blessings right it's funny that we call we call it the there are not many BR over there there's more observations there's some not exactly BR there's there's criticism critiques but when it comes to Yehuda it comes to Ys there's there's a br y's is it's of the breasts and of the womb it's of fertility it's of children and so on Y is one of fertility over here to say that the parot are really about fertility and the description of here of the beauty Yosef walks in looking absolutely like Yosef not only looks like ysep ysep just now cleaned up really well right ysep had spent these years in prison they cleaned them up they bring him in how does yoseph look at this point and the answer is he looked looks great ysep looks absolutely great ysep looks stunning and parro's looking at him and suddenly the dream about this transformation something coming and go and this whole ability life to death death to life and he's looking at ysf and now ysf is talking and and it's really interesting as ysep is talking I I I think it's a combination over here right we we know this right I don't know if anybody's in sales I'm sorry not maybe I am I don't I don't know it but but part of it is not just the contents part of it is the presentation and it's how you're saying it and who's saying it and what they look like and how the how much confidence they have and Yosef over here is putting on a sale yo Yosef just now by the way he gives the greatest elevator pitch in the history of the world right Ju Ju Just think about that how long does he actually have to speak over here and uh essentially he sells him on this and he gets himself an appointment for the next 80 years I mean it's absolutely overwhelmingly impressive but I think that when pyro was looking at yoseph suddenly things start to Come Together by the way yoseph ever referred to as anything having to do with with a cow we as aore and now you have to start to wonder Joseph called a Shore by mosha is yoseph called a Shore because of all of this that the symbol of yoseph again switching around and rising to power again this this whole thing is about transformation and and and I said it before and I don't know how much you really felt what I meant to yoseph had a dream actually yoseph had two dreams and one of yosef's Dreams had to do with and it had to do with power and had to do that that his brothers are going to bow down and come to look for him for food they're going to come to him for food and of course the dream of the good years is which means power's nightmare becomes yosef's dream but yosef's dream was a dream which became a nightmare and now becomes a dream again because it goes back to this whole point of this transformation which is taking place so therefore these things are interrelated but it's not that that's what I'm getting at it's not just that yoseph comes to represent his original Dream which turns into a nightmare which turns it to dream again which is the and the power and the money and the food which is all about Yosef but maybe there's much more of yosf in terms of the beauty over here of the cow and the Beautiful cows which then get swallowed up but do you realize what parro Now is really doing parro and he feels good about it yes I'm gonna read to you um AA Thea is a collection of midin that are connected to holidays this has nothing to do with Yosef there's nothing to do with par it has nothing to do with anything it's about it's about the move between Y and really bad question why do we build after what's the answer because God said so what's the answer after right that's the answer right God sits in judgment in and then God gives out the rulings on but maybe there was a decree which was given that we have to go into Exile so what do we do we build a so if we were guilty of G Exile we leave our homes we go to the and we say okay done right give it a check done we went through our G everything is good and now we can after is over we can go back into our house and God looks at living in a Suka as if he went off into exile to B Shar and goes on and quotes things I think that par he was to this is that he could be this dream when he looks at ysph who represents the cow let the good years and the bad years old this be on yosef's head which means if Yosef already is interpreting and understanding and is involved parro I think comes to this realization that this is no longer about him by the way that's what's interesting because I told you before it's not about him it's about yose but power's willing to sign off on that because why because he's terrified what is he terrified that the beautiful beautiful healthy cows are going to become really eaten up by the skinny cows and if Yosef is the is a healthy cow right which means parro gets calmed down when he meets yph but it's a combination it's not just what Yosef says which by the way is great the whole thing is absolutely great Yosef explains how you're gonna make a lot a lot of money this is again this is absolutely great he takes away the fear he takes away again what's really bothering pyro and I'm GNA say it again we all know what's bothering parro what's bothering pyro is that he's going to get swallowed up by a Skinny Cow that's what bothers him but now he turns to yoseph no no you become in charge you're in charge of everything you're the one who now is the fat cow you're you even look like you're you're who else is toat mar which means the descriptions of beauty which I mentioned here is all about Yosef and Yosef moves right into this role because it's something which absolutely connects to yosef's to to yosef's dreams I'm gonna say it again Yosef has dreams which turn into nightmares which now turn into dreams again again when his brothers come and Bow Down because they want food that's yosef's dream just now turned back to his dream when Yosef was taken and his clothes stripped off of him and thrown into a pit and threatened to be killed and sold off on a slave and spent 22 years in he again all of these years again way from the family and whatever Yosef suffers a lot again the dream became a nightmare but something happens and then it flips around and becomes a dream again parro has a nightmare which now become into a dream and everyone's happy with all of this because essentially it's not just that Yosef suggests the solution of parro's Dreams Yosef becomes the solution of parro's dreams and essentially as I said that parro understands the the pcta and says okay you're the beautiful cow go ahead enjoy the good years the bad years collect money go do do what you need to do and essentially par moves off the stage and moves off into the background over there but as I said yose who understands things correctly and sees the hand of God and everything realizes that this is not the end is that the dreams are going to come true again for yosf the dreams always come true but that takes us to next week's parion
