shalom my friends we will see a few words of torah having to do with the parashat that's coming up this which is the last parashah of the book the first book of the torah the book of bereshit and it begins with the words of israel our father lived in mitzrayim in egypt lived in mitzrayim in egypt 17 years before he passed away why is it so necessary to tell me that he lived since we are going to talk about the death of yakov it seems to be illogical to begin a parashat with the words which means and he lived our sages explained that it is important that the torah told us that why to teach us that our father jacob did not have an that our father jacob did not have an easy life at all the only enjoyable life that he had was only the last 17 years of his life that he spent again with joseph his beloved son in egypt otherwise all the years before 115 years or so have been years of suffering for yarkov we all know how it started after he took the blessing from his father ritzhak the blessing that in the beginning was meant to be to belong to i saw his brother nevertheless as i said was not worthy of this kind of blessing so had to take it because it meant the future of the jewish people he also took away from him by of course after i have sold it to him the birthright the birthright now yaakov is the prominent man who will be the one the true father of the jewish people nevertheless assad his brother hated him hated him so much that he promised himself that after the death of their father it's hack he will kill his brother yakov rifka the mother of yaakov the wife of itzhak
