Bow To The Fox - Parshas Vayechi - [Blue Ridge Mishmar]

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Kalish’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

The tired describes by Yikra Yimei Yisrael Lamos. That Yaakov Avinu was bisayf yamav. And he calls Vayikra el Naftali Yosef. After Yosef he asks him al lo sikreini Mitzrayim. And Yosef swears to Yaakov Avinu. It says Vayishtachvu Yisrael al rosh hamita. Yaakov Avinu bows al rosh hamita hamita. Yaakov Avinu bows al rosh hamita by the head of the bed. So Rashi's bothered how he can design. How can it be that Yaakov bows to his son? It's not It's impossible Yaakov Avinu to bow to Yosef. Rashi's bothered by it. So Rashi answers Tal bidne in his time bowed to him. Normally the king of the animals is the lion. It seems a month a year. I don't know how they work. Strange systems. One month a year the fox gets to rules. This month a year the fox gets to rules. This This is dvarim what that means. But a month a year the fox the mefarshim say the fox rules. And in that month he's definitely not the normal king. The lion's the normal king. But one month a year the fox is the king. And when the fox is the king you got to bow to him. Tal bidne in his time if that's his month sagid lei you have to bow to him. So lemaaseh Yaakov Avinu it's inappropriate. It's his son. But he bows to Yosef. If Yosef's the the But he bows to Yosef. If Yosef's the the leader of Mitzrayim in halacha he has the din of melech on Yisrael. He's the king of klal Yisrael. And now Yosef's the melech Tal bidne the fox in his time. Yaakov's more chashuv. Yaakov is the tata. But Tal bidne sagid lei. So that's why he bows to Yosef. Rashi continues on al rosh hamita. He bows al rosh hamita. Rashi says l'tzad hashchina towards the shchina.
