Parashas Vayeishev

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Vayeishev where Yaakov settles in the Holy Land,but this is not a permanent settling for,the tragedy that was about to come,in Yaakov losing his beloved Yoseif for so many years ,shows that,as Jews,we are only truly settled in Eretz Yisroel when the final Third Temple will be built on the Holy Site in Yerushalaim.Till then,a Jew wanders,even in the Holy Land,till the time for the Final Redemption comes.
The word 'Vayeishev,' means 'And he settled,' although as mentioned,this would not be a total settling,for once the incident of Yoseif took place which would bring the family to Mitzrayim (Egypt) ,Yaakov and his family would leave Canaan and would not return till generations later after the Egyptian slavery.So why does HaShem use the word 'Vayeishev,' - 'And he settled?' There must be hidden meanings here.
In Jewish Law,we are told that an event starts at it's beginnings,so this means that although the family was to leave Canaan for now,this settling of Yaakov was the start pf the entire process that would lead them back to Canaan,with G-D's Law in their hearts,minds and hands and thus allow Canaan to be the truly settled place it is to be-a place where the Torah would be kept and thus a place where HaShem's Shechinah could and will eventually reside among us.And it is here where the hidden meaning of the word 'Vayeishev,' shows itself,for if we take the word 'Vayeishev,' and split it into the words within it,we get ' Va (And) Yeish (Have) Av (Father) ' - thus rendering the words -'And I have the Father ' Who we know is G-D . G-D is our Father.So therefore the words 'Vayeishev Yaakov,' , taking the words within 'Vayeishev' and putting them with Yaakov,shows that Yaakov had HaShem while within the land of Canaan.This sounds strange for G-D is everywhere.This is not strange at all, for while a holy man is among holiness , HaShem's Shechinah resides closer to him but while a Jew is outside a holy place,among unholiness and unholy and immoral people , the Shechinah of HaShem wants to leave . We saw this while Avraham was with Lot . Only when Lot left Avraham and went toward Sodom,did HaShem come and speak to Avraham . Our Rabbis tell us that while Lot was with Avraham,HaShem stayed away.
While Yaakov and the family were in the Holy Land , HaShem's Shechinah would reside closer,for this land is HaShem's Special Holy place.This land of Israel must be a land where Torah is strictly kept so that HaShem's Shechinah can dwell among its residents.
It is here in this Parsha that we are told that Yaakov was not to have a permanent settling , for tragedy struck and his beloved son Yoseif was wrenched from his care . Yoseif himself was not to remain in the Holy Land but was sold by his brothers and sent off to Mitzraim (Egypt) , after being exchanged on the way four times before he got to Egypt . HaShem took pity on him and went with him to protect him and all he touched in the home he was to be a slave in , was Blessed by HaShem .Here HaShem remained with him for Yoseif took HaShem with him in every way that Yoseif kept every Law of HaShem in Egypt that he learned from his Father Yaakov . Yoseif never became an Egyptian .He never hid his Jewishness . Yoseif remained a Jew who was in Egypt in all the Hebrew Laws he kept , among his Egyptian rulers . The Hebrew word for Egypt is 'Mitzrayim,' which means 'Borders,' for once someone came into their border,they were not allowed to leave unless Par'o (Pharoah) gave permission for them to leave . It was a land closed in and covered by idolworship and evil Tum'a (Spiritual Impurity) yet Yoseif humbly kept the way of the One True Living G-D, HaShem.
Yoseif was sold to Egypt by his brothers who thought his dreams and favoritism by their Father meant that they would lose the Blessings and love from their Father but this would never have been the case.Yoseif would bring reports of their conduct to their Father,never to hurt them, but so that they could be taught and raised to a higher spiritual level . There was never an intention to harm them and sadly Yoseif became a victim of circumstance and his own mistaken judgement and need for acceptance,yet with a Holy purpose that , at that time , he could not understand.Every action the brothers perpetrated on him ,they were punished for, as we see with the interjection of the story of Yehudah , who was like a king among the brothers and who could have stopped the selling of Yoseif , but he didn't so he lost his own two sons . Yaakov had to hear the terrible news of the loss of his son with the very same word that he himself used to his own Father Yitzchak when he went in to get the Blessing instead of his brother Eisav- the word 'Recognize' this garment, the same words that Tamar who was denied Yehudah's third son , ended up telling Yehudah , when she showed the signet ,staff and cloak that Yehudah had given her in lieu of a pledge till he would send her a goat (the same animal's blood that Yehudah had dipped Yoseif's coat into , when they brought the coat to Yaakov) ,when Tamar said to him 'Recognize if you please whose are these.'
We have in this Parsha so many lessons and so many sparks of wisdom,within each and every word.Here we are shown that everything a person does,has a consequence.Here we are shown not to jump to conclusions about what we think we see in others, as Yoseif sadly did about his brothers . Here we are taught to never show favoritism for one child above another or others . Here we are taught the heights of forgiveness,for Yoseif ended up forgiving his brothers and watching over them while they stayed in Egypt even after the way they treated him . And most of all , here we are shown the ultimate need to have faith and trust in HaShem for He Knows what to do and quietly watches after His Holy ones and those who follow Him faithfully.
Poor Yoseif found himself in a foreign land,a land where HaShem was not acknowledged . A land where he was sold into slavery to Potiphar , Par'o's chief executioner , as a fore-runner for our people who were sold into slavery , for he ended up in the home of Potiphar (Potiphera in the ancient tongue meant 'the 'mutilated one' for he was not able to have children and was so called) and his wife who constantly hounded Yoseif , thinking she would have offspring with him , for she saw this in the stars . Yet the Jewish pathway is not judged by stars, but as HaShem said to Avraham that he must raise himself above the stars,showing that our mazal is in the hands of HaShem personally . Yoseif ended up marrying Potiphera's and his wife's ( Zulaicha's ) adopted daughter whose name was Asenath , who was actually Yaakov's grand-daughter through his daughter Dinah.
So Yoseif found himself in a place of unholy spirituality in Egypt ,yet never for a moment, did he ever leave his faith.This is the path of a Jew . To make our way through this World, being a banner for HaShem , no matter where we find ourselves , to be a constant promoter for HaShem , bringing this World to the belief in the One True G-D , HaShem. 
We may not yet be 'settled,' but how can we be settled,while HaShem's Shechinah is not yet settled among us in this World.
To be truly settled,each and every one of us are to make every part of this World a place where HaShem can dwell and 'Vayeishev' - 'Settle,' so that HaShem can have His long -awaited 'Vayeishev,' - 'Settling,' with all His children , all His Creation , in a World that keeps His Laws and Ways .
Then Yaakov and his children can truly peacefully settle in Canaan and all Creation come to know the truth of HaShem's Love for all things . When this World becomes a Torah - kept World (for in actual fact , it is not just that people keep Torah, but actually it really is also that Torah keeps and carries the World ) ,then it will be a world where HaShem can 'Vayeishev' - 'Settle' among us and Yaakov and his children can settle in peace in Canaan . Then the first verse of this Parsha will take on a future meaning , for it hints at saying that, ' Vayeishev Yaakov B'Eretz M'Gurei Aviv B'Eretz K'na'an,' - ' And He (G-D) (Vayeishev shows a Yud for 'He ' in the future tense) will settle Yaakov in the land of his sojournings , in the land of Canaan .' May this settling come soon and may we all be Blessed with the Light of the Final Redemption where we can all be worthy to dwell in peace and settle with the Shechinah of HaShem. 
I wish HaShem with love, a Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love and a Vreiliche Chag Chanukah Sameach and to my fellow Yidden, a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love and a vreiliche Chag Chanukah Sameach with love .
