Vaychi

the idea that's how we will continue to seek creative ideas to be persistent in compression towards connection and everything we scrutinize now together and all the deficiencies we've crystallized we want to read in the Zohar so it will give us light and build in us what is needed let's open Zohar for all this is volume 11 we are reading

portion Vayechi the

four species.

Again,

Zohar for all, portion Vayechi, the four species.

You should be able to find it in the links.

We're starting with item 210.

And the Oid Yosef Chai is based on the idea of Ma Zarei Bachayim, Av Hu Bachayim.

We know when Pashas Vayechi.

Vayechi is Ya'ankav Avinu Loim Meis.

Right last week was Pashas Vayigash, it's Oid Yosef Chai.

Vayechi, Hamisha B'tevis always happens, Vayigash Vayechi.

Hamisha B'tevis, Oid Yosef Chai, Yosef is still alive.

V'chumesha B'chol Erez Mitzrayim and so on.

But in Vayechi it says Ya'ankav Avinu Loim Meis.

We move to page 169, mimer number 16.

It's Vayechi, following Vayigash.

What does the Friedrich Rebbe say about the Teich and Aschol HaSameimer? Remember, the Friedrich Rebbe wrote a short few words for each Meimer.

So Vayigash Meimer, he said, Where does the Nishamah have the power for its it's its longing and its return? So in this Meimer, he says, The difference is in the different types of Hesedus, the Myla in our Vedas.

The fact that what is the meaning of and what is the connection to and .

Okay.

As we know, these Maimonides have written one long flow, but then the Rebbe Rashab, before he delivered them, on their respective Shabbos, in this case, Vayechi.

Some of them, he wrote these beginnings and ends.

So far we've covered four or five.

Two in Psalms, one in Shir Hashirim so far, one in Kings, and one in, uh, one in HaMalachim, and one in the Torah, Parshas, uh, Vaychi.

So five.

Let's pick another one in, um, Song of Songs.

In fact, their very claim is absurd.

They say, who can hear the passage of parashat Ve'etchanan? Who can hear Hashem's voice Vayechi?

makes no sense they just did but you did the

answer is that you did um fear is so instinctive it's so instinctive that it even brings us to irrational places i think one of the problems that barriers to a secure attachment someone believes i can't really be lovable i make mistakes i'm full of flaws It's irrational that God would love me.

And when one is blessed, that reservoir of blessing flows downwards, from its source to open blessing below, and there's no longer something that holds that blessing back.

Like the verse in the Torah portion of Vayechi states, that Jacob gathered his sons and blessed each of them with their blessing, a blessing ready for each one individually, brought down by Jacob to bless them.

The blessings Jacob gave to his grandsons the sons of yosef menashe and ephraim placing his right hand on the head of ephraim who was the younger of the two and his left on menashe who was the older and when yosef attempted to correct the order saying this one is older place your right hand on his head yakov refuses and explains that the younger Ephraim would become the greater of the two, and his offspring and descendants would become a great nation.

If Jacob, if Yaakov is giving a blessing that he wants to give, then he can choose to bless the older Menashe with a blessing of greatness.

I just wanna be clear.

And then we're probably going to have w- Nitzavim, and probably we'll be able to do Vayechi also because it's, uh-

Do you wanna do it before or after Shaharit?

I don't know.
