In this weeks parsha we learn that Yosef sent the “Agalos, calves,” to Yakov after which the pasuk says that Yakov was calmed as he know realized that Yosef was still in his original state of ruchniyus. The reason for this was because the calves that were sent were to remind Yakov of the last sugya they were learnig which was the parsha of egla arufa, this was the symbol in sending the calves. However the Das Zekinim says that the word agalos is translated not as calves but rather as wagons and that they were learning the parsha of the chanukas hamishkan in which the pasuk says that the nesim brought the wagons. However one can ask what is the significance of them learning the parsha of the chanukas hanesim that parsha seemingly is unrelated to the tora the avos learnt and kept.
One can possibly suggest that their learning about the chanukas hamizbeach wasn’t just to learn about the story of the future, rather it was to give Yosef a message and lesson that even in galus one can reach the highest levels of hashras hashechina just like the nesim when they dedicated the mishkan. Yakov knew that Yosef was destined to a life of galus, and wanted to teach him that even in galus if we want to connect ourselves to the shechina we can, and truly reach the madreiga of the nesim at the time of chanukas hamishkan.
Reb Chaim Volozhin writes that now that we don’t have a Beis hamikdosh, the only way we can achieve that level n is through limud hatora, may we all be zoche in our lives, even within a long and difficult galus to hashras hashechina.
