DETACHMENT/ תְלִישׁוּת

There are several connections throughout our life. Attachments are embedded within other attachments. The spiritual life is about progressively letting go of these attachments since it is only by doing so that we may achieve freedom from oppression. The Aramaic root עבר (ʕ(ayin)-b(bet)-r(Resh)) relates tocrossing over and the beyond. Considering that other names for descendants of (Sham) also stand for places, (ābar) can also be considered the name of an area, perhaps near (Ashauar). A number of medieval scholars such as Michael the Syrian, Bar Hebraeus, and Agapius the Historian mentioned the prevailing view, that the Hebrews had received their name from (ābar), while also pointing out that according to others, the name “Hebrew” meant “those who cross”, in reference to those who crossed the Euphrates river with (Abaram) from (Auar) to (Kharan), and then to the land of (Kanaān). Stage 1 We must first separate ourselves from material possessions and let go of our desire for these things and hold onto them. This does not imply that we must abandon all our things; rather, it means that we must arrive at a point where we are free of our attachment to them. Realizing that financial possessions will never offer us true happiness is something we need to do. Gen 45:16 V'hakol and the kol voice, sound, was heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, Yosef's brothers are come: and it was pleasing in the eyes of Pharaoh, and his servants. Gen 45:17 And Pharaoh said to Yosef, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this; load your animals, and go, head to the land of K'naan (Lowland, humility); Gen 45:18 And fetch your father and your households, and come to me: and I will give you the good of the land of Mitzrayim Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land. Gen 45:19 Now you are commanded, do this; take wagons out of the land of Mitzrayim Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come. Gen 45:20 Also regard not your possessions; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours. And The Voice was heard saying in the massive home, “Mercy has added his brothers to you”. Due to his status as Egypt's ambassador and the many obligations he had, especially during this time of famine, Joseph was unable to go up to get his father directly. As a result (for Pharaoh's sake), he is exceedingly explicit in his instructions to his brothers. Pharaoh's connection with Joseph is certainly a favorable one that extends beyond politics and ruling-class concerns. He lavishes the brothers with hospitality and gives Joseph the opportunity to lavish them with provisions and promise fruitful land upon their return. Don't be concerned about your stuff; all the goodness that comes from the land of distress is yours. Adversity teaches us that physical possessions are meaningless in comparison to the spiritual lessons we discover through the difficulties we face. Stage 2 The next step is to separate ourselves from environments that we assume "belong" to us. In this unpredictable world, we seek security and stability by clinging to something practical. However, no matter how much we like a location, we can never keep it. Neighborhoods, cities, and countries are always evolving. People and families are always on the go. Nothing in this world is permanent, and nothing stays the same. Even if we were able to somehow maintain the current conditions, we would still lack assurance. A fire can destroy our house. A conflict or a tragedy might wreak havoc on our nation. There is no genuine safety in belonging anyplace, and there is no actual safety in a geographical location.
