00:00:01.905 --> 00:00:20.751
Playing the main character in this week's parasha and the forthcoming parashios is the great Yosef Hatzadik, who will follow his storyline, and it will teach us a great deal about life and how to succeed and become an ish matsliyecha successful individual.

00:00:20.751 --> 00:00:32.122
Needless to say that Yosef goes through some of the most tough, unbeatable nisionos known to mankind.

00:00:32.122 --> 00:00:38.689
And who could blame him if he actually would not prove triumphant in his life?

00:00:38.689 --> 00:00:50.066
For growing up in the lap of luxury, sitting on his father Yakovavino's lap, learning tora, an innocent young lad, a chap.

00:00:50.066 --> 00:01:14.671
But then, quickly, after some dreams, he's thrown out onto the streets to be homeless, to be more specific, thrown to the bottom of a pit to hang out with some snakes and some scorpions, only to be sold as a slave again and again, until he would become stuck at the bottom of a pit in jail in a foreign country called Egypt.

00:01:14.671 --> 00:01:31.753
And then he's raised to the point of president, the attorney general of Egypt, the viceroy, and even further challenges come when he's attacked by a wild bear named Asius Poytifar.

00:01:31.753 --> 00:01:36.909
And if he would have failed in any of this, could you blame him?

00:01:36.909 --> 00:01:50.290
What would we say about ourselves if we were God forbid, abstranded and port authority taken into some crazy place.

00:01:50.290 --> 00:01:56.512
But Jose Fatsatek is who we look to for the inspiration.

00:01:57.180 --> 00:02:38.635
Jose Fatsatek's story tells us that no matter your situation, no matter where you find yourself or the challenges that be, with a certain amount of acceptance of your scenario, no matter where Hashem places you, you smell those spices and you know that Akkadj Baruch, who is leading you, no matter from the bottom of the pits of hell to the very top of the food chain, learning with the Rosh Hashiva and Brisk, it is all with a sense of emunah that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be, and that seems to lead to create tenacious persistence and strength.

00:02:38.635 --> 00:02:56.622
And when Yosef cries out and he screams, vayimuin, over and over, denying Asius Poytifar's advances, the Shalshela's trup, it seems like he keeps saying it not now, I'm not going to see you, I'm not going to touch you, I'm not going to get near you.

00:02:56.622 --> 00:02:59.348
No, get away from me, vayimuin, stop it.

00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:16.245
Jose Fatsatek, our main character, follow his story deeply because ultimately, when we get up to the next world of 120, hashem says we're your problems and we're your challenges worse than Jose Fatsatek.

00:03:16.245 --> 00:03:29.503
And if so, if we're to be compared to him, I'll just try our best to mimic his actions and become an Ishmatsliyach and deny the Yetzahorah's advances with a starker, loud Vayimuin.
