Yaakov's Parting Wisdom: Cultivating a Nation's Strength Through the Blessings of Unity and Individuality

0:01 As the giant lays there on his deathbed, the sons can sense that their father, yakov Vino's end is rapidly approaching. And what could we could imagine? As a faint voice, with his final utterances, yakov tells his sons he kovtsu, gather, vashemmu and listen, come together. He says, hey, osvu, assemble yourselves and I'm going to tell you your blessings in the future. It's been pointed out that the dying wish the tsava, the final testament of the forefathers, is that Klaal Yusra'ul unites itself.

0:53 The Osvu is giving off the connotation of a lot of different parts coming together to make one whole. And when we have Achtus, we are unbeatable. Come to one location and fight with one spirit. But what should be pointed out? That now that you are united and you have become the sons of Israel, it is not uniformity that I want, but every single son blessed according to his capabilities. Everyone has a spot and that makes up the Klaal Yusra'ul.

1:36 Yakov then moves on to try to find the king, the master, the one who will lead Klaal Yusra'ul through the dark times. And you can hear Yakov's emotion when he says Ruvane, you're always going to be my bachar, my treasure, but you showed some instability in your decision-making, so you can't be the leader. Leaders must be strong. They must be stable. Shimonon, levi, when you guys took revenge on account of your sister and the sins that were perpetrated against her and the family, you exemplified brotherhood and passion, and therefore you guys will make up the rabbis and the teachers through the gullis, for passion and devotion and dedication is what we're going to need to get through this gullis.

2:34 Also, this is not right for you guys to be the leaders. So, yehuda, you are Ghur-Arye. You are youthful, but you have the prudence of an experienced adult, like a lion. Your brothers will crown you. Yehuda, you're not in it for any of your own financial gains, but just for truth, and you're ready to admit your faults. You will be the king, the dying, the tsavor of Yakovovino, as we put a bow on Beraeus, is that the Claw Yisrael stick together, have one mission, but don't all do the same things.

3:20 Everyone has their spot. Zvulin, we need you to make a bank load of money, so get those Yats moving over there by the seashore. Ysachar, we're going to need some rabbis up in here to figure out the calendar and start writing over the Masechtas and the Mishnias, so people know what to do. Yehuda, make sure to lead us. Let's divvy up the land. Everyone's got their spot, and that is he cup. To that they gather and assemble themselves to create a nation that would be the children of Yisrael. We all have our spot, and when we have Achtas, allowing everyone their specific and unique role, then we're unbeatable. And that is the message for Claw Yisrael through the diaspora.

4:05 So, he kovt suvashamu, let us unify ourselves, do what you have been gifted to be able to do and maximize your kohos. Become the Khoi, become the Melech, become the Torah scholar, become the leader of your family, and like that we truly are, am Yisrael Chai, a nation that is the sons of Israel.
