Parshas VayechiThis week's Sedrah, Parshas Vayechi, is unique. It is the only Sedrah that has no separation between it and the previous Sedrah, in contrast to all the other Parshios that either start on a new line or have nine empty spaces before it.Rashi explains in the name of the Medrash the reason for this; in this Sedrah the Torah relates that Yaakov Avinu passed away which caused the pain of the bondage in Mitzrayim and this caused Klal Yisroel's eyes to close and their hearts to be numbed. This explanation implies that the pain of the bondage started immediately after Yaakov Avinu's passing.Zera Shimshon asks; Rashi in Parshas Vayairah (Shemos 6/15) seems to contradict this. There Rashi writes that the bondage did not start until all of the children of Yaakov passed away and not, like he writes here, when Yaakov himself passed away.Zera Shimshon asks another question; the words "closed the eyes and numbed the heart of Klal Yisroel" suggest that the bondage was extraordinarily difficult right from the beginning. This seems to contradict Chazal who teach us that the Mitzriyim "sweet talked" (peh-rach) ax Bnei ax Yisroel into bondage, meaning the bondage started very lightly and progressively became more and more difficult.Zera Shimshon answers these questions according to a concept he derives from two seemingly contradictory explanations that Chazal give of why a Tzaddik passes on.One reason is that a Tzaddik's death atones for the sins of the generation and protects the generation, or at least minimizes, the punishment they deserve.A second seemingly contradictory reason is that Hashem takes the Tzaddik from the world in order to bring the punishment the generation deserves, since as long as the Tzaddik lives his merits protect the generation.Zera Shimshon answers that if a Tzaddik's death will protect from punishment or hastens it depends on how the generation reacts to the death. When Bnei Yisroel mourn and eulogize the Tzaddik appropriately, his death prevents punishment. However, if Bnei Yisroel do not mourn the Tzaddik appropriately, not only does the Tzaddik's death not prevent punishment but it also adds to the punishment that Bnei Yisroel were previously meant to receive.Zera Shimshon points out something very interesting; we only find that Yosef mourned Yaakov's passing away and not the rest of the brothers! To such a degree, that when the Torah describes the Canaanim's reaction to Yaakov's funeral procession, they exclaimed (Braishis 50,11) "this is an intense mourning for Mitzrayim". They don't even mention Yaakov's children!According to this Zera Shimshon answers these two questions.The suffering of the bondage actually started only with the passing away of all the children of Yaakov (like Rashi writes in Shemos) “and it started very mildly and it progressively became more and more severe…”. However in the beginning, at the time of the death of Yaakov, Hashem "closed their eyes and numbed their hearts" in order that they wouldn't properly mourn and eulogize Yaakov which would have prevented the bondage.Hashem did this in order to carry out the 400 years of bondage that Hashem promised. If Bnei Yisroel would have eulogized Yaakov properly then his death would atone for our sins and Hashem would not be able to start the years of bondage which was necessary to purify Klal Yisroel.We were destined to be in bondage for 400 years. Therefore, Hashem "closed our eyes and heart" so Bnei Yisroel wouldn't feel the pain of losing Yaakov and therefore would not mourn him properly in order to bring on the exile!In summary Zera Shimshon initially understood that Yaakov Avinu's demise caused the pain of the bondage in Mitzrayim which in turn caused the closing of the eyes and the numbing of the hearts of Klal Yisroel. On this Zera Shimshon asked two questions. Firstly the pain of the bondage didn't start until much later, with the passing of all of Yaakov's children and secondly it started out very mildly.Zera Shimshon answers that it is completely the opposite; it was not the pain of bondage that caused the numbness of the hearts, but the fact that Hashem "promised" to have Bnei Yisroel suffer the pain of bondage in order to purify us, that caused the closing of the eyes and the numbing of the hearts of Bnei Yisroel. This was done in order to insure that the merits of Yaakov and their mourning him would not prevent it from happening! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I dette afsnit skal vi tale om kejsersnit. Jeg har Mette i studiet som selv fik akut kejsersnit og læge Sedrah som selv har foretaget over 100 kejsersnit. Vi taler om hvordan det foregår i praksis og hvordan det føles at få et kejsersnit, når man nu egentlig havde forestillet sig at skulle føde vaginalt.

I denne uge har jeg igen besøg af Sedrah som er uddannet læge og som arbejder på en gynækologisk afdeling. Lige nu er hun på barsel - så hun er ultimativ ekspert! Jeg spørger hende om alt det, som jeg kan nå. Hvad jeg må som gravid, hvad jeg ikke må og hvorfor mine bryster allerede vokser. Lyt til afsnittet hvis du også er forvirret og mangler svar i din graviditet. Vi vil forsøge at give dig dem!

I studiet har jeg i dag Sedrah med mig. Hun er uddannet læge og arbejder til dagligt på en gynækologisk afdeling, men lige nu er hun på barsel. Jeg udnytter at have en kompetent læge i studiet og spørger hende om ALT. Lyt til afsnittet hvis du gerne vil vide mere om vitaminer du bør tage, hvad man ikke må spise og hvorfor man bliver så fanden træt, når man er gravid!

Læge og vært Sedrah Butt sætter fokus på psykiatrien i den første videnskabelige podcast her efter sommerferien. Sedrah har inviteret læge og ph.d.-studerende Andreas Hoff i studiet for at blive klogere på hans forskning inden for patienter med lettere psykiatriske diagnoser på sygedagpenge og deres relation til arbejdsmarkedet. Projektet ”Integreret behandlings- og beskæftigelsesindsats til sygedagpengemodtagere med depression, angst, tilpasningsreaktion, udbrændthed og stress” kaldes også IBBIS-projektet. De sygedagpengeberettigede borgere, der tilbydes at deltage i et forskningsprojekt, er som angivet i projektnavnet sygemeldt på grund af enten depression, angst, tilpasningsreaktion, udbrændthed eller stress. Deltagerne sorteres ud fra skrappe inklusions- og eksklusionskriterier. Formålet med projektet er at afprøve en kombineret psykiatrisk behandlingsstrategi med en beskæftigelsesindsats til sygedagpengemodtagere med de nævnte diagnoser. Strategiernes formål er, at borgerne hurtigt og effektivt vender tilbage til arbejdsmarkedet – dette til gavn for arbejdsmarkedet, samfundet og ikke mindst patienten.
