Vayeshev: Rupture and Recognition

Wow! Reply

I would like to ask some questions for to hear your insights affords a window which can be closed for many. First, could you please elaborate some about the moral symmetry but also the moral asymmetrical between the objects but also the human discovering the external relationships but even more, the ideas by which thought held by siblings and parents percolates over time. Secondly, have you considered the deep well akin to the modern practice of psychiatry/psychology? For to find one's way out of the depths and labels may take a whole life? Thirdly, the "Who Am I" seemingly can be awakened by a search for meaning. But could there be a pattern, an underlying design predicated and shaped by justice? I will listen again for what you are sharing mirrors some periods at which qualities are better understood. Reply

Thank you Baila for your insightful ability to connect lots of parts In a very meaningful 7mins . G-d bless Reply

This is an wonderful parallel walk-through of the stories. The way they are connected in this clip, allows us to extract this wonderful lesson. Thank you! Reply

I have listened to this in analysis three times now and I intend to continue to repeat and listen. Each time I glean more about the people in my life who I love in coming to the unrecognized truth reckoning required to resolve personal quest and family/friendship injuries that need to be healed. Your insight follows the similar gem of analysis that you gifted the world. I now will go back and listen to it again to find more. Thank you for sharing your gift. Reply

That seem so powerful. Not to tell you who you are but to waken who you are. A return back to who you are in Yah. Reply

The connection between Tamara's story and Joseph's is very expository and inspiring. May we always recognize who we are at all times and never loose our identity. Reply

Earlier today, I was asked if I were a Jew. Without being one the Rabbi could not greet me with a Shabbot Shalom. Many times this greeting has been received with deep appreciation. And as I listened to this story, I believe in today's culture, the sibling rivalary still is present, though the deep well in which to dispose of brothers or sisters has become the mental health care system. A book from the past scooped up from the floor, reads, "Deprived of Our Humanity: The Case Against Neuroleptic Drugs by Lars Martensson, M.D. I wonder now, in taking a class through JLI about the Search for Meaning through the Kabbalah, if indeed, the initial exploration, sinking into the depths of darkness only to turn around while beginning to zoar if there was no tomorrow was a brief stint into discovering the verb of space, years later after Joseph and his brothers convey a story still happening, now enmeshed within and beyond the keyboard. Can truthing truth's oneness transcend nations? Reply

TODAH..A words that spoke directly into my life who I have become..and the consequences have become a reminder of what I really overlooked Reply

Good Shabbos:

I listened in last week and immediately sent a link to my cousin, Randee, so she could listen in too. Randee is my senior by a generation and showed interest in Chabad. However, I felt she was turned off by male dominated narrative/text, as she is a modern Jewish woman who has experienced great success in her career. She listened to your seven minute oration and was moved, as was I. Accordingly, you have reached at least two in our family.
This week’s “In Seven” is no different, maybe even more powerful. The way you link Tamar /Yehuda to Yaakov, story to story, generation to subsequent generation, is collectively purposeful and personally meaningful. Of huge note, your discussion of the Rabbi stating the Shema in the orphanage with the response of some of the children, that deep, subconscious connection, struck a very strong chord.
Pls., keep your “In Seven” up.

Thank you. Wow i listened twice in one night. Such an amazing commentary. Looking forward for more! Reply

superb!! Nice look at this part of the parsha in understanding oneself and others,
thank you. Reply

bs"d Thank you! Never heard this angle before, the theme of 'hakeir' tying together different episodes in the parsha that at first glance might serm unrelated. And to bring into this the story of the rabbi searching orphanages for Jewish children after the Shoah... an amazing connection. Reply

Thank you for this beautiful insight!
Can you please share the source for this lesson? Reply

Outstanding

Thank you Baila, when I saw you posted a new study I was so happy! Last week I was able to share your message with others and I myself I, think I listened 4 times. This week too I need to listen a couple times but because it is short and to the point I can squeeze it in so easily! Gak Sameach! Reply
