The eighth day of Kaneka
means is considered one of the holiest
days of all of Kaneka.
When we get to the eighth day, we know
especially in they speak a tremendous
amount about the specialness of this day
and we have to figure out what it's all
about. I would say
on the contrary because if you think
about it the whole question of the
famous bev question is why do we
celebrate eight days the whole holiday
should be seven days one day was natural
the first day was natural and then the
extra seven days that was miraculous so
the whole holiday he says should be
eight days 101 answers but in the end of
the day whatever answer you give why is
the eth day so special it should be the
least special that was the natural day.
That's it really should be a seven-day
holiday. We have to give answers to
figure out why it's the eighth day. So,
you should know Zaneka always comes out
on parash. It's no coincidence because
it's an incredible story. And listen to
this incredible idea. I'm sure we're
familiar with the whole story. But if
you really think about it from the
brother's perspective, think two minutes
from what these brothers are. They don't
know what is going on here. Yes, they
were jealous. Yes, they sold their
brothers and it ended up being 22 years
of suffering as a result of this, but
what in heaven's name is going on here?
The whole entire world is congregating
in Egypt. Everybody's coming to Egypt in
order to pay arms to this great king
because they realize that he is the only
source of food and we're the only ones
being in charge of being moragal, of
being spies. It just doesn't seem just.
Of course, anti-semitism, but how much
anti-semitism was around back then? It
doesn't make any sense. But the whole
thing is queer. And then they end up he
ends up being friendly with them and
sending them back. And then he ends up
giving back all their money inside of
the inside of their bags. Why is he
doing this to us? Why does he care about
seeing Binyamin? Why does he have to see
Binyam? What difference does it make? If
we're 10 brothers and 11 brothers, what
was the sign that we're spies in the
first place? The fact that we came to
ask for food. We're so innocent. We're
just coming to find. He keeps asking
about their father Yakov. Is he okay? Is
he not okay? And even when they come
back finally after all the distress that
happens in the house and they come back
with Binyammen suddenly favorites giving
him extra portions being so nice and he
knew the whole entire shebang. He knew
exactly whose brothers with who. He knew
that Beinyammen doesn't have a mother.
WHERE DID HE GET ALL THIS FROM? Where's
this coming from? They didn't understand
one word and they had so many questions
and questions. Finally, he's being nice
to us and before he wasn't nice to us.
Shimon he puts in the jail and then when
they leave he they take him out he takes
him out of the jail and gives him food
and and and and spoils him and takes
care of him. It's not just that there's
questions but it's questions without any
type of solutions. This is going to
require a whole migilla to be able to
answer these questions. It just doesn't
make sense. Everything's a
contradiction. After being nice to them,
he finally sends them home on the second
time and lo and behold they were rigged.
They were pushed rigged with a goblet
inside of Binyam the one he liked in the
first place. Why is he the one being
rigged if anyway? Everyone knew it was a
big farce. But what's going around?
Hundreds of questions. This is not going
to this is not going to blow over with a
couple answers. I want to know bottom
line what is going on here. Figure it
out. The real solutions
is as we know a couple of the Ramban
answers that Yseph needed those to be
there were a dream is a type of it's a
certain type of prophecy and he needed
those prophecies to be fulfilled. That's
a and B and even more than that is they
did they had to do chuva. They had to do
chuba for selling their brother by being
moser nephesh for the other brother
binyamin his brother by going ahead and
going and giving over themselves
[clears throat] to as we call it chuva
to mishko to repent for what they did to
yadic that would be a true kapara it was
completely in their best interest
everything that was done and of course
who was the one who decided to sell yph
in the end of the day it was yehuda he's
the one who pulled him out of the boar
and ended up saying let's sell him
Yehuda could have saved D him if he
really wanted to. As we know, the
brothers actually were upset at him
afterwards. He could have been the one
to save him and he didn't and he sold
Joseph. So it needed to be Yehuda
himself to be the one to be Moser
nephesh for his brother Bin Yammen. And
by doing that he would have he receives
a chuva to Mishk about everything that
would occur. All these solutions are
beautiful cuz we read it in the books.
We already know that Butler did it. We
already know the end of the story. But
the brothers didn't know this and they
wanted answers. I don't understand
what's going on. You know how many
answers they got? They got two words.
Finally, Ysephic appears to them and
says, "Ani Ysef." Two words answered all
the questions. Absolutely incredible.
Two words made them realize everything I
just told you about the dreams, about
the chuva, how he knew everything, why
he cared so much about Beyamin, why was
he rigging Beyamin? What was the whole
reason of going out and being moish for
them? Why was he asked everything, all
the problems were answered. It wasn't
just that there were questions with
answers. But the questions themselves
were the answers. The things that look
so negative, so decrepit, so cryptic and
odd, not understood. The things that I
wish didn't exist, I'm so happy it
happened. They realize that that was the
best thing in the world that happened to
them for doing this to us because we
just got a full chuva for the horrible
and horrific thing that we did out of
our jealousy that we did over our
brother. Everything that looked like a
problem ended up being the actual
solution itself. The in the itself ends
up being the or itself. The darkness
itself ends up being the point of light
that we didn't think even exists. That's
exactly the nakuda about what happened
over here.
And that solution has everything to do
as the writes about when Msiah comes
because when Mashiach comes you think
he's got to answer a lot of questions.
There's a lot of inquisitions, a lot of
pagrums, a lot of terrorist attacks and
a lot of attacks and a lot of
holocausts, a lot of anti-semitism and a
lot of things I just can't get my finger
on. I don't understand. I've got a lot
of questions for you. Why are good
things happening to bad people etc etc
two words ani hashem ani mashiach
mashiach comes with those two words
being mgala the words of and it's all
answered no problem they will all
questions that we had and again it's not
that there was a problem and now I'm
giving you an answer the problem itself
will be the solution that will
metamorphosize to make us realize that
we are so little that we didn't even
realize what happened and you know why
you know why we have trouble figuring
these things out. I'll tell you why.
Because in the end of the day, there was
a nice Jewish boy by the name of Albert
Einstein that invited us and told us
about something known as spacetime. That
means that time is a creation. It's
something that was actually created. If
it was before creation existed, there
was no time. I remember when I was in
second grade
that one of my friends asked the
teacher, you know, we were in a modern
day school and he asked a teacher a
funny question. He goes, "What did God
do before he created the world? He must
have been very bored." Okay, I don't
know what I would answer to that, but
she answered beautifully. She said, I
don't know how the second grader
understood this, but anyway, she said,
"Before God created the world, there was
no time. And if there's no time, you
can't be bored. Boredom comes when
there's time, and that's when it
starts." So, that's a beautiful answer.
No, I don't think I understood at the
time, but okay, I somehow I still
remember it. Anyways, this idea of
spacetime means that time is relative as
we know it's a creation.
They tested it with NASA clocks that
people who go up to space and come down
are off the t the clock is not exactly
to the second. It comes off when you
spin around the world. If you travel the
speed of light 262,000
miles per second, which is not
physically possible to do, but if you
would travel at that speed, you will be
able to go back in time. That means that
time is relative.
Stands above time and there is no time
and therefore all perfection stands in
front of him. We are one little pawn in
a piece of time and therefore we don't
see all the results right now. At the
end of time, we'll be able to see the
whole puzzle, the whole picture and
figure it out. Then we'll be able to see
that. When you are above time, then
things look different. How do you get
above time? By traveling the speed of
light. Guess what? We live in a land of
of darkness. And here on Kaneka, we
light the candles of light, the speed of
light. And when we do that, we go above
time. And the candles last for 8 days.
They last over and beyond nature's
requirement. We were able to go above
the the the the rules of nature for one
reason because we went the speed of
light which went above time and we went
to an extent that we were above time to
be able to see everything in the yad of
when you go to the higher worlds and
you're not limited to this world. When
you go to a place that is up in Baraku's
world then the lights last eight days.
Then miracles happen when you fight the
wars and things go above nature and all
your questions have solutions to them
like we saw by Yseph and his brothers.
And that really is the answer to the
question we just asked. What was it
about that eighth day? Think about it.
Really this holiday should be seven
days. The B Joseph asks because seven
days was unnatural. That was above tea.
One day was natural. That is the most
kudesish of all days. The most holy of
all the days is the day that has to do
with natural. We celebrate the eighth
day on purpose because the eighth day,
yes, that's a special day because we're
trying to prove what the were against.
They held everything has to do with
mother nature. Everything has to do with
tea. We focus on everything that we see,
we believe. Anything that is you don't
see with your senses is nonsense.
There's no sense. It doesn't exist. And
therefore we celebrate on purpose an
eighth day. We da cherish the last day
of zanek because that is the day where
it is discussing the realm of the
natural. And even the natural we point
our fingers and we say that's also
that's also unnatural. Even the things
that look like it's just
run-of-the-mill. It's just something
that happens all the time. No, we know
the address where it comes from. And
when when we do that, when we're willing
to become a vadim and answer and see
with our eyes specifically in those
places, then the unnatural opens itself
up to us. When did Ysef appear to Abra
to Yehuda? When did Yseph come out? And
he'll say
that'll come out. It's when he said
I am your
I have to fight and I have to do what's
wrong. When you become an
then
there's no more quiet hold back will not
hold his mouth back anymore. If you know
to make yourself a real e to au to be to
hem and say when it's going to happen
then you should know then you will get
to the skies then who will let the gula
happen and that's how the solutions
everything I'll end with a quick story
from zilberstein he brings an alwitz of
by the boy of yeitzki
that he put his daughter his sister in a
in a boar in a in a small pit and the
two of them used to stay there the whole
entire time in order to avoid the Nazi
regime from finding them the whole time.
This was uh nearby Awitz. It wasn't in
Awitz, but it wasn't far from them. And
he would go in the middle of the night
every night and run out and try to steal
some food, try to get a hold of some
food and water and bring it back for him
and his sister. One day after a few
weeks of this happening, it was actually
a few months, 3 to four months out of
this happening, he came back after
running and looking and searching for
food with food and he saw that his
sister wasn't there. He checked around.
He was furious. He was said, "I'm not
going to give up. There's no way I'm
going to let this happen." And it ended
up that people told him she was in the
SS office by the Mishtar. He went to the
police station with actually conviction
with full bread and he said, "Give me
back my sister, this cute 16-year-old.
She was 12 and he was 16. He said, "GIVE
ME MY SISTER NOW. I want her." And he
was very strong about it. Everybody
chuckling, laughing, giggling at this,
the impudence of this little child. And
they said to him these words, "If you
could show us hair on the palm of your
hands, we'll give her to you."
[laughter]
Believe it or not, he said, "Yeah, are
you serious?" He said, "Yeah, sure." He
opened up his hands and there was hair
growing on the inside of his palms. on
the inside of his palms. He had things.
Believe it or not, I found out
afterwards that the Nazis, the Germans
believed that when you have hair on your
palms, you are an extension of Satan.
You come from some type of satanic
thing. And that's why immediately out of
absolute fear, they gave him his sister
and he actually exited. An incredible
story and he was able to save her till
the end of days till the end of the war.
And he's speaking this story out when he
was older. The question is how that
came. So you know what he explains? He
says when he was a child of about 10
years old, he burnt himself on a frying
pan in a very he touched the frying pan
with his hand and he completely burnt
his skin completely off. Now, grafting
was in its beginning stages back then
and they were able to find some skin in
order to graft it on top of the palm of
his hands, but it was a hairy piece of
skin. And he was always embarrassed as
this cute little 10-year-old with a
little bit of hair always on his palms.
But his mom told him just keep your
hands closed. The kureshbaraku decided
and he knows best and that's it. And he
said this is the rest of my life. I'm
going to live with his hair on my palms.
And guess what? That's what saved his
and his sister's life. Those hair on his
palms
stands above time. We stand above time.
We are ending Kaneka, but we leave
Kaneka and the of nighttime. And we
start light with the last candle that we
light going the speed of light in order
to make us go above time and realize the
greatness of a baru in the greatest of
times but also in the lowest of times in
the most unnatural scenarios but also
and especially in the natural scenarios
that we are surrounded by now that we're
going to go through from day to day.
