okay good morning boca tov welcome back to partial perspectives for today we have the privilege this week of studying pashas vaishev and we know that myself was similar bonham all of save for boracious is not just studying ancient history we're not just learning and reviewing what happened long ago but we're actually reading what is meant to be our filter to be able to interpret what's happening today there are partial perspectives for today and as much as the world has changed so this is in contrast by the way to last week's pasha where the passion begins with yaakov sending a message to his brother aesop through malachim through agents he tells them he doesn't say in love on yashafi he says aguer is a stranger i was passing through i was an outsider it's true for 20 years i was with love on 20 years is a long time ago think about where you were 20 years ago 20 years is a very long time so yes 20 years is a very long time so yes jakob says i was with love on 20 years it's a long time but do you know the entire time i was there i was an outsider i participated i contributed i benefited i immersed myself in what was the best of being there but i was able to be mindful at the same time that i was an outsider i was aguer here vaishav yaakov it doesn't say garthy it says which is a resident i took up residency this was part of my identity i was fully there barrett's magurey aviv beretskanan
