Episode Synopsis
- (MYF) We come to discover the theme of this פרשה as leading straight through to מצרים and ultimately the גאולה ממצרים – as ultimately involved in the creation of גלות הדבור from דיבתם הרעה through the understanding of the source of נסיון as being דבור שלא בפני בעל דין as the זוהר puts it –the inability of the brothers to speak the manipulation of language which is יוסף his ability to forcing the brothers to interpretation at the end of the story the nature of dreams un-interpreted and those interpreted at the onset of the storyis as זוהר says description of narrative and how it creates the reality of human life
So that the avoidance of narrative in the most intense way: avoidance קחו עמכם דברים which is the nature of תשובה itself – and in the avoidance of every element which is the local effect of the unwillingness to deal with narrative and to be דע מה שתשיב לאפיקורס, the desire to hide דינה in the box instead of understanding what the problems could be that would lead to the relationship of עשו ודינה, in the desire to get rid of יוסף instead of learning to deal with מצרים therein lies the חשש-turned-reality of this פרשה of the inability to deal with the נסיונות that appear to יהודה, of not having narrative that would allow in your own participation in creation of ultimate גאולה and אורו של משיח, instead to be used שלא בטובתו, compared to only אשת פוטיפרע instead of being the one who in the end comes into his own ability to admit -- which of course happens to יהודה as well: he learns to speak
All of this interrelated with גאולה itself and גילוים of חנוכה although רבות רעות צדיק, in the moment of ultimate רע where all appears to be lost, at that moment can come that narrative can come that gives you in a flash דיוקנו של אביו דמות, the גלוי of אורה של חנוכה which is אור הגנוז which is the source for millennia to come of sense of where you are going
Because of this, the beginning of this narrative in the תורה itself: the beginning ויצא into גלות – and the גלות בבל – are linked profoundly to dreams and the איש גבריאל who appears here because it is in dreams that narrative begins and translations / interpretations are demanded, and here we see so clearly that כל החלומות הולכים אחר הפה
