Parashat Vayigash 5769 in english
Rav David Daniel Hacohen שליט״א
Résumé
The Rav starts from the question of why the seven years of famine lasted only two years, since Rashi explains that the hunger stopped once Yaacov arrived in Egypt. He asks why Yaacov alone had this power and why only on his arrival. He answers that Yaacov, like Avraham, is a reincarnation of Adam and had to repair Adam's sin. Adam separated from his wife for 130 years, and Yaacov's hard life up to age 130 was part of that repair, so that his last 17 years in Egypt were good. The Rav says that holy people bring blessing, whereas moral corruption brings its opposite, and he tells a story where a community in economic distress searched for the cause of a grave sin. He then reads the meeting of Yehouda and Yossef as the union of Yessod and Malkhout, which he applies to the partnership of Torah scholars (kings) and businessmen who support them. He concludes that this partnership protects the people and brings blessing. The automatic transcription is very distorted, so some details are approximate.
