התוכן עה"פ בתחילת פ' וישב "וישב יעקב גו' אלה תולדות יעקב יוסף וגו'" מביא רש"י שכאשר "יעקב ראה כל האלופים [של עשו] הכתובים למעלה תמה ואמר מי יכול לכבוש את כולן?! מה כתיב למטה – אלה תולדות יעקב יוסף, וכתיב והי' בית יעקב אש ובית יוסף להבה ובית עשו לקש – ניצוץ יוצא מיוסף שמכלה ושורף הכל". וההוראה: כאשר רואים את חושך הגלות הכפול והמכופל נשאלת השאלה איך אפשר להתמודד עם זה? הנה יש לדעת שבכאו"א יש את הענין של "יוסף" שבכוחו שורף את חומת הגלות וכו'. ועד"ז בעבודתו של כאו"א בעצמו, שאינו מתפעל מ"גויים" ו"גויאישקייט", מפני שהוא יודע את האמת ש"בית יעקב לאש ובית יוסף להבה ובית עשו לקש"! ועי"ז מתמלאה בקשתו של יעקב ש"ביקש .. לישב בשלוה" (כמ"ש רש"י עה"פ וישב יעקב), בגאולה האמיתית והשלימה כאשר "ועלו מושיעים בהר ציון לשפוט את הר עשו והיתה לה' המלוכה". משיחת י"ט כסלו ה'תשמ"ג ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-12-2025 Synopsis On the verse at the beginning of parashas Vayeishev, “And Yaakov settled…These are the descendants of Yaakov: Yosef…”, Rashi states that when “Yaakov saw all the chieftains [of Esav] written above, he wondered and said, ‘Who can conquer them all?' What is written afterwards? ‘These are the descendants of Yaakov: Yosef…', and it says, ‘The house of Yaakov will be a fire, the house of Yosef a flame, and the house of Esav will be straw' – a spark will come forth from Yosef that will destroy and consume them all.” The lesson is that when one sees the doubled and redoubled darkness of exile, and he wonders, how can we confront it, the answer is: One must know that within every Jew there is “Yosef,” with the power to burn down the wall of exile etc. Similarly in one's personal divine service, he is not intimidated by the goyim or by goyishkeit, because he knows the truth – that “The house of Yaakov is fire, the house of Yosef a flame, and the house of Esav is straw.” In this way, Yaakov's request to “dwell in tranquility” is fulfilled (as Rashi says on the verse), with the true and complete Redemption, when “Deliverers will ascend Mount Tzion to judge the mount of Esav, and the kingship will be Hashem's.”Excerpt from sichah of 19 Kislev 5743 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-12-2025 לזכות שטערנא שרה בת מושקא שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"ב כסלו - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

התוכן עה"פ [בחמישי דפ' וישב] "ויהי יוסף יפת תואר" פרש"י: "כיון שראה עצמו מושל התחיל אוכל ושותה ומסלסל בשערו, אמר הקב"ה אביך מתאבל ואתה מסלסל בשערך, אני מגרה בך את הדוב, מיד ותשא אשת אדוניו וגו'". ההכרח לפרש את הפי' ב"יפה תואר" כך הוא דלפי' הפשוט אינו מובן מ"ש כאן "ויהי יוסף יפה תואר" - מה זה נוגע לכאן, הרי יוסף הי' "יפת תואר" גם לפני ירידתו למצרים?!, ולכן פרש"י שבא בהמשך למסופר בפרשה לפנ"ז, שיוסף עשה פעולות כאלה להיות "יפה תואר" וכו'. וההוראה: אף שיעקב הי' במדינה אחרת ובכלל לא ראה את הנהגת יוסף, בכל זאת הי' יוסף צריך להצטער בצערו של יעקב. כי אהבת ישראל אמיתית היא שצערו של השני, לא משנה איפה הוא נמצא, הוא צער שלו!משיחת מוצש"פ וישב ה'תש"מ ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-12-2025 Synopsis On the verse (in chamishi of parashas Vayeishev), “Yosef had handsome features and a beautiful complexion,” Rashi states: “Once he saw himself in control, he began to eat and drink and groom his hair. The Holy One, blessed be He, said, ‘Your father is mourning, and you are grooming hair – I will incite the bear against you.' Immediately: ‘His master's wife cast her eyes upon him….'” The reason Rashi has to explain it this way is because seemingly, it is unclear how it is relevant here that “Yosef had handsome features”; after all, Yosef “had handsome features” even before he went to Egypt? Therefore, Rashi explains that this comes as a continuation of what it says earlier in the parashah, that Yosef put effort into doing things that made him have a handsome appearance etc. The lesson is that although Yaakov was in another country and didn't see how Yosef was conducting himself at all, nevertheless, Yosef should have felt Yaakov's suffering and refrained from such things. Because true Ahavas Yisroel means that the pain of another Jew, no matter where he is, is your pain.Excerpt from sichah of Motzaei Shabbos Parashas Vayeshev 5740 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-12-2025 לזכות יהודית ברכה בת שטערנא שרה שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"א כסלולשנת ברכה והצלחה רבה ומופלגה בכל בגו"ר מתוך בריאות נכונה ומנוחת הנפש והגוףנדבת הורי' ר' חיים ברוך ושטערנא שרה שיחיו אלבסקי

Your Soul Craves Authentic Tranquility; That's When Things Begin to Fall ApartThis class was presented by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Tuesday, 19 Kislev, 5786, December 9, 2025, Parshas Vayeshev, at The Barn @ 84 Viola Rd. in Montebello, NY. The class explores the reason for the name of the parsha, "Vayeishev," which means "settling down," when the entire portion records the collapse of the first Jewish family. And how can one grasp the words of the Midrash and Rashi that Yaakov was supposedly punished for craving to enjoy tranquility in his life? It seems so cruel. The class is based on an address by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, forty years ago, Shabbos Vayeishev 5746 (1985). We discover the meaning of authentic serenity and how to achieve it in life. Sometimes, when your life and family begin to unravel, healing has begun.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9827

In the beginning of this week's Parashat Vayishlach, Ya'akov Avinu is preparing to confront Esav, who wanted to kill him. Rashi tells us that Ya'akov prepared himself in three ways: sending gifts, praying, and strategizing for a potential battle. Why did Rashi list them in this order—placing tefillah second, between sending gifts and preparing for war? The Be'era Parashah explains that Rashi is teaching a fundamental principle about tefillah. Hashem built into the nature of the world that prayer works. And just as giving gifts and preparing for war are normal hishtadlut that people do, so too tefillah operates within the natural order. It is not considered miraculous to have prayers answered. For this reason, the Maharsha writes that although the Gemara teaches that a miracle performed for a person can deduct from his merits, anything attained through tefillah—even the greatest salvations—does not take away any merits, because tefillah is never considered a miracle. This understanding should give us tremendous chizuk. The answering of tefillah is part of how the world was created to function. Tefillot are so powerful that they can change decrees no matter how impossible the odds may appear. Chazal tell us that in Shamayim it had been decreed that Esav would marry Le'ah and Ya'akov would marry Rachel—"the older for the older, and the younger for the younger." The Alshich adds that Le'ah had four overwhelming hurdles preventing her from marrying Ya'akov. First, the heavenly decree had designated her for Esav. Second, the Pasuk testifies to Rachel's beauty. Third, the Pasuk tells us that Ya'akov loved Rachel. And fourth, Ya'akov worked for seven years for Rachel and took great precautions not to be deceived by Lavan. Yet Le'ah prayed so intensely, so persistently, with so many tears that her eyes became tender. And through those tefillot, she overturned the decree and all the natural odds. Chazal say that the greatness of tefillah is such that not only did Le'ah avoid marrying Esav, she even preceded Rachel to marry Ya'akov. And because of those same tefillot, she gave birth to six of the twelve Shevatim—the Bechor, the Kehunah, the Levi'im, the Meluchah, and the lineage of Mashiah—all emerging from her prayers. The Pasuk in Parashat Vayera says that the angels were sent to destroy Sedom while Avraham was still standing before Hashem. The next Pasuk tells us that Avraham prayed for Sedom to be spared. The Seforno explains: even though the decree had already been issued and the angels had already arrived in Sedom, Avraham still prayed, because he understood the ways of Hashem. As Chazal tell us Even if a sharp sword is already touching a person's neck, he should still pray, because tefillah can work no matter how desperate the situation seems. This past year, a woman received the difficult news that she had a tumor, lo 'alenu. At that time, she strengthened herself in guarding her speech and devoted herself to encouraging others to do the same. She was told that she would need the strongest form of chemotherapy. The doctors warned her of every side effect—especially that it was absolutely guaranteed she would lose all her hair. She asked them if there was anything at all she could do to avoid this. Their answer was clear: with the dosage she required, there was a one-hundred-percent certainty she would lose every strand. But she strengthened herself with the knowledge that with Hashem, nothing is fixed. She poured her heart into tefillah—not only for a full recovery, but also that she should not lose any of her hair. Today, Baruch Hashem the tumor has been completely removed. And amazingly, she did not lose even one strand of hair throughout the entire process. The doctors had no explanation. But the explanation is clear. She prayed to the Creator of the world—the One Who decides whether hair falls out or remains. Tefillah is wondrous, and Hashem created it to work as part of the natural order of the world. The more a person recognizes Hashem's power and involvement in every aspect of his life, the deeper, stronger, and more effective his tefillah becomes. Shabbat shalom.

In Parshas Vayishlach, Yaakov returns home after 20 years with the wicked Laban and immediately sends real angels as messengers to his murderous brother Esav, prefacing their message with the cryptic line “Im Lavan garti” – “With Laban I sojourned.” Rashi reveals the hidden code: the word “garti” (גרתי) has the numerical value of 613 (תרי״ג), meaning “Even while living with the evil Laban, I kept all 613 mitzvos and never learned from his wicked ways.” Yaakov is teaching every Jew for all time: no matter how far away you are, no matter how hostile the environment, the Torah is the ultimate protective shield that preserves and elevates your soul. As Rabbi Wolbe powerfully declared: “When you stay firm in Torah study every single day, there is nothing in the world that can take you down.”The parsha's eternal message is crystallized in the Friday-night blessing we give our children: “Yisimcha Elokim k'Ephraim v'chi'Menashe” – may God make you like Ephraim and Menashe, the only two tribal ancestors raised in decadent, idolatrous Egypt yet who grew into pure tzaddikim. Why them? Because wherever our children end up – Houston, Memphis, Vegas, or the middle of nowhere – they may not have a yeshiva, a kosher restaurant, or even a minyan, but they will always have the Torah. As Rabbi Wolbe summed up: “The Torah is the blueprint of the world… and when you live with that blueprint, no darkness can touch you.” Yaakov, Ephraim, and Menashe all proved that one Jew + one Torah = unstoppable light._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on December 2, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 5, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.
