The opening of this shiur, in Kol HaTorah Kulah Daily Broadcast’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

how do we know do we really know where this is all heading as Jews we believe in predetermined faiths there are larger historical eventualities or inevitabilities that are predetermined Redemption Gula unfortunately Galas but do we know exactly how they will unfold how do we know when we're living through those inevitabilities while this week's Parsha by igosh the big question is does Yakov no the others knew that there would be a painful even horrific experience in mits right and that had been baked into Jewish history and that tradition is part of Jewish history was part of the family Legacy Rashi says in wanted nothing of them that's why he ran away from Arkansas everyone knew it but did yaakov know that it was happening right now right here actually my Locus or bun says he knew it then it says he didn't know it that's why he went to beresheva not necessarily to make his way to Egypt pointed in the city if you wanted just to establish a settlement there and go back the idea sucks Homeland be a little closer to the ocean if you're popped in for Shabbos you can go back to him it's Ryan he didn't know that coach sparkly told them this is happening it's happening right now and you're part of it de Maro salilah it happened during the day but asham either talked about the night metaphorically or made it dark to visualize that things would go dark
