Thank you everyone for coming in the bitter cold especially after fast to shor it's fantastic today's shinish sat Miriam my great aunt who passed away a few weeks ago I want to talk about this week's para which is parad This parasa closes off the book of closes off the book of the first in this week's parasa says [Music] it talks about life coming to an end. The first thing that it says in this week's parasa about Yakov to it talks about how he asked his son to it talks about how he asked his son Ysef to make sure that he gets a proper burial not in Egypt but in in Canaan which is Erit Israel. Not only does Yapov instruct his son to bury him in Eras Israel, he makes him make a shua, an oath. Swear to me that you're going to bury me in the land of Israel. So the obvious question is asked. question is asked. This is your son. You don't trust him. Somebody you don't trust, you tell him, swear that you're going to do this. Swear you're going to tell the truth. So where you going to keep this? Where you going to do that? Not your own flesh and blood. Your own flesh and blood. There's got to be some type of trust going on. Why does he make his son swear? Make not just a promise to make a shua, a formal oath with Hashem's name. Why? Hashem's name. Why? I'm going to give you a couple of answers to this. Firstly, we have to dispel the notion that Yakov did not trust his son Yoseseph. Of course, he trusted his son Yseph. He trusted him implicitly. But the Shiva, the promise was not because he didn't trust his son Ysef. It was because he didn't trust Pharaoh.
