Miketz 

Parshat Miketz 5785 by Josh Rosenfeld

the Torah reading of Vayigash starts mid sentence, following the cliff-hanger anding of last week's Torah reading Miketz. With Binyomin (Benjamin) framed by the Egyptain viceroy Tzafnas Pa'aneach (Yosef/Joseph) thre brothers face the looming catastrophe of the loss of the last reminaing child of Yaakov (Jacob)'s favoured wife Rachel.  This week begins with Yehuda (Judah) stepping forth to confront the Egyptian leader and do all he can to save his borther. Then in the great plot twist Yosef reveals his true identity, and the whole episode transforms from catastrophe to salvation. Yet the theme of 'vayigash' literally drawing near, involves far more than fraternal reconciliation. Yehuda's speech is one of the longest recorded in Torah, and adds nothing that we do not already know. Within its meanidering lie subtle clues that this is not merely a healing of the brothers and their relationships, but a reconstruction of Yaakov Avinu, our forefather Jacob, and the ability of the nation to survive exile, to live with difference and treu be truly diverse and truly one.

Parashat Mi-Qetz [Genesis 41:1-44:17] is the second of the four parashiyot that treat the Joseph story. At the end of last week's parashah, Joseph has been left in prison because the recently released butler failed to mention him to Pharaoh, as he had promised to do. The parashah this week opens up with Pharaoh's two dreams which defied interpretation by any one in Pharaoh's court, the butler remembering Joseph, and Joseph being summoned to court to successfully interpret the dreams. The bulk of the parashah deals with the descent into Egypt by 10 of Joseph's brothers and their encounters with him. Our conversation focused in part on the character of Joseph, sometimes in comparison with his brother Judah who once again has a leading role, in convincing Jacob to let Benjamin return with them to Egypt, and at the end stepping forward to address Joseph, which address will begin next week's parashah. As Eliot notes, it is difficult to limit oneself to the parashah of the week when discussing the Joseph story, so we make reference to both what happened last week and what will happen in the next two weeks. We hope you enjoy it. We are ever mindful of the hostages, may they be speedily returned to their families, and to the soldiers defending Israel as part of the Israel Defense Forces, may they be removed from harm's way. May the increasing light of the hanukkiyot [the first night of Hanukkah is Wednesday night, 12/25/24] bring increasing light to the Middle East, and may a measure of peace be restored to that region. Hag Urim Same'ach. Shabbat Shalom.

Parshas Miketz

Chazal tell us the Yevanim made the Jewish People write on the horn of an ox "אין לנו חלק באלוקי ישראל - We have no share in the G-d of Israel." The Sefat Emet asked, this phrase is seemingly self- contradictory. On the one hand they were told to write that they have no share, but they were also saying that Hashem is the G-d of Israel. The Sefat Emet explained, the Yevanim admitted that indeed Hashem was the G-d of Israel, but they wanted to destroy the emunah of the Jewish People that their actions matter. They wanted the Jews to think that their actions don't make any impressions in Heaven. And that's why one of the mitzvot which they tried to abolish was Rosh Chodesh, because that's a mitzvah which shows how we determine the calendar. They wanted us to think our actions are meaningless. But we know our deeds carry so much weight in Shamayim , and whatever we do is so precious to Hashem. The sefer Vaveh Amudim told a story which took place 35 years ago on one of the nights of Chanukah. In the beit midrash of the Admor , the Bet Yisrael , all of his chassidim wanted to be close to watch as the Rebbe lit the Menorah . They had a system where whoever was close up one night had to go to the back the next night in order to give everybody a chance to be close. A young man there decided to defy the rules and went up close even though he was already close on the previous night. The gabai politely told him to go back, but he defiantly refused. He told the gabai , according to the rules he also should move back, why should he get to be close every night? After the gabai repeatedly tried to get this boy to move, the boy kept becoming more and more brazen. It got to a point where the gabai took his hand and smacked the boy across the face. Everyone there watched in shock, and the boy ran out of the bet midrash humiliated. Thirty seconds later, the Beit Yisrael came in to light. After the lighting, the gabai regretted his actions and sent a messenger to go find the boy to ask his forgiveness, but the boy refused saying he would never forgive him for what he did. On Thursday of parshat Miketz , the Bet Yisrae l asked for this boy to come to his office. He was told about what happened and wanted to bring about peace. He told the boy to go read the Zohar of that day's Chok L'Yisrael, and that would help him figure out what to do. The boy went to the beit midrash and opened the Zohar . There was a story of Rabbi Abba who was sitting by the entry to the city of Lod, and he watched as a man went to lie down under a protrusion of rock which came out of a large mountain. Soon afterward, a snake was making its way toward that man to bite him when, all of a sudden, a heavy branch came off a tree and killed the snake. The man woke up and saw the snake and left the place where he had been lying down. A few seconds later that protrusion became dislodged and came crashing down right in the spot that man had just been lying in. When Rabbi Abba witnessed this man having two miracles performed for him, he went over to him to ask him about his deeds which warranted this type of special treatment. The man replied, "If anyone does something bad to me, I immediately forgive him, and if I'm not able to, I will not go to sleep that night until I forgive him. And when I forgive, I totally put out of my mind the evil that the person did to me. Furthermore, I make sure to go out of my way to do something nice for him." Rabbi Abba later said about this man that in this aspect he was even greater than Yosef HaTzaddik, because Yosef was able to forgive what his brothers did to him but, after all, they were his brothers. This man was able to forgive complete strangers. When the boy finished reading this Zohar , he understood what he needed to do. He went to the gabai's house and told him that he wholeheartedly forgives him. That same night, the boy was learning in his bed, and he brought the shamash candle close to use its light. Eventually, he dozed off but the candle fell on his bed and a fire started. Baruch Hashem , the boy woke up in time and managed to get out. His tzitzit was completely burnt, but the fire didn't touch him. That is when he realized he also had a miracle done for him to save his life because of his great deed of forgiving. Our deeds matter very much. Everything we do to serve Hashem is so precious to Him.

Chanukah and Parshas Miketz: Illuminating the Darkness The Chanukah Perspective is in honor of Eretz Yisroel.  May G-d protect our brave soldiers.  May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately.      The Chanukah Perspective is in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. May their souls be uplifted and their memories a blessing.  Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com  Chanukah, the festival of light, arrives at the perfect moment. It's a celebration of miracles, resilience, and the ability to illuminate the darkest moments with divine light.  This week, as we light the menorah, we also read the story of Yosef—a story that echoes Chanukah's lessons of faith, perseverance, and triumph. Together, these stories inspire us to confront challenges with strength and to find meaning in the struggles we face.

This week's parashah begins with the words " ויהי מקץ שנתיים ימים - and it was at the end of two years." Twoyears since what? The Midrash explains- because Yosef asked the sarhamashkim to mention his name to Pharaoh and get him out of jail, Hashemadded an extra two years to his sentence. Not only did Yosef not gain by askingfor help. He even lost. The mefarshim are bothered. What did Yosef do wrongby requesting that help? After all, aren't we supposed to make a hishtadlut to try and help ourselves? All he did was make a simple effort to try and get himself out of jail. Some explain, in the words of Rashi we can find the answer.Rashi writes " מפני שתלה בו יוסף לזכרו הוזקק להיות אסורעוד שתי שנים ". To understand these words we need to understand the answer toanother question first. Rabbi Dessler asked, when Yosef interpreted Pharaoh'sdreams, he then added his own advice on how Pharaoh should proceed. Seemingly,this was Yosef making a hishtadlut to show Pharaoh how wise he was, sohe would get appointed as an advisor. Didn't Yosef learn his lesson afterstaying in jail for two extra years? How could he make this hishtadlut right when he got out? Rabbi Dessler answered, based on the words of RabbenuBachya, who explains how bitachon works together with hishtadlut. The pasuk says in Mishleh , " בטחאל ה' בכל לבך ואל בינתך אל תשען ." We are commanded to rely on Hashem andnot our strengths. A person should not feel because he is smart he'll besuccessful. As the pasuk says, " משיב חכמים אחור,ודעתם יסכל ". Hashem can easily remove any good idea from a person'sthoughts. Hashem is in charge of success. A person should not thinkbecause he has money it is due to his skills, because Hashem is the one incharge of money. He should think I have money because Hashem gave it to me, andthe way I made it just happened to be one of the millions of ways that Hashemcould have given it to me. Although we have an obligation of hishtadlut, we'renot allowed to think that anything resulted because of the hishtadlut .That having been said, there was nothing wrong with Yosef asking the sarhamashkim to mention his name to Pharaoh. The problem was he was " תולה בטחונו בו ". He thought that would be the causeof him getting out. It made so much sense. He did this man a favor. He showedhim how talented he was. It seemed like it was sure to bring success, and Yosefbelieved that. During the next two years in jail Yosef corrected that. Herecognized causes don't matter, only Hashem does. Therefore, when he stood infront of Pharaoh and Pharaoh said, "I heard that you know how to interpretdreams," Yosef immediately corrected him saying, "I don't know how to doanything. Only Hashem does." Once that was clear there was no problem of him offeringadvice to Pharaoh. In fact, it's recommended to make a hishtadlut, aslong as a person realizes the hishtadlut will not be the cause ofsuccess. The lesson for us is obvious. The act of making an effortis necessary, but we always have to make sure to have our mindset in the rightplace. How much importance are we putting on the effort. If the effort is notthe real cause we should have just as much, if not more, focus on our prayersand especially on our bitachon in Hashem. Rabbi Mughrabi told a story that one time the Chazon Ishasked a student of his to travel to America to try and raise funds for animportant cause. The student went happily and he spent two full weeks theretrying to raise money, only to come up practically empty handed. He wasembarrassed to tell the Chazon Ish what happened. A week after he returned theChazon Ish called for him. The student came in with shame. The Chazon Ish toldhim, "Thank you so much. You helped me a lot. Baruch Hashem all the money camein. You really did me a favor." The student then asked, "Where did the moneycome from? I didn't really collect anything." The Chazon Ish said, "Ijust got a big check from a donor in France." "So what does that have to dowith me?" asked the student. The Rabbi explained, "We are commanded to make a hishtadlut to take care of our needs. Our hishtadlut doesn't tell Hashem how tohelp us. It just fulfills our responsibility. Once we did our part, Hashem willsend from where He sees fit. You spent two weeks traveling to doing your utmostto help. That was the hishtadlut . Hashem then decided to help us throughthis wealthy man in France. He gave him a large order from which he gave us the ma'aser." This is the emmet. Hishtadlut has nothing todo with results. It's a responsibility in action only, but our mindset shouldalways be only on Hashem. Shabbat Shalom

Plot twist Joseph marries Potifar's daughter? And more...

Send us a textIn this captivating lecture, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the profound lessons hidden in Pharaoh's dual dreams presented in Parshat Miketz. Through the lens of Joseph's interpretations, Rabbi Bernath addresses questions about the coexistence of abundance and famine, the wisdom behind Joseph's advice to Pharaoh, and the deeper psychological and spiritual truths reflected in the story. He emphasizes how these timeless narratives mirror our own cycles of plenty and scarcity, advocating for the integration of our inner paradoxes to cultivate clarity and resilience in our lives.Takeaways:Insight and Chutzpah: Joseph's courageous advice to Pharaoh, despite his status as a freed slave, teaches us the importance of inner strength and wisdom, regardless of our circumstances.Recognition of Paradox: The coexistence of abundance and scarcity is a fundamental aspect of human experience. Recognizing and integrating these dualities can lead to deeper understanding and personal growth.Proactive Preparation: Joseph's approach highlights the need to prepare not just for imminent challenges, but also to remain conscious of potential difficulties during times of prosperity.Transformative Vision: True wisdom recognizes that challenges often embody solutions.

Welcome back! Today Aaron shares about the story of Joseph, highlighting themes of adversity, faith, and eventual redemption. Joseph's journey—ranging from betrayal to slavery, then to leadership in Egypt—illustrates how God uses difficult circumstances to refine and shape us. Similarly, the process of spiritual refinement involves enduring hardships that test and strengthen our character. Just as Joseph's trials prepared him for his purpose, our challenges can purify us, build resilience, and deepen our faith. Both stories emphasize that through suffering, God molds us into vessels for His greater plan, transforming difficulties into opportunities for growth and fulfillment.

You need to have the right dirt. As is well known, Joseph advised Pharoah to take food from the seven years of plenty and store it away for the years of famine. Pharaoh, in turn, appointed Joseph to oversee this process. As we shall see, in order to do this, Joseph determined that you need the right dirt. And so do we.

In this shiur, delivered in Ba'er Miriam, Rav Burg explores the difference between the dreams of Pharoah and the dreams of Yaakov Avinu. Pharaoh dreams that he is standing above the Nile River, Yaakov dreams that Hashem is standing above him. When we dream that we are above God we go back to sleep. When we dream that God is standing above us we are obligated to fulfill the mission for which we were created.

Miketz | Pharoah's Dreams | Chida veChalom, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom How are we to understand the amazement with which Pharaoh and his advisors reacted to Yoseph's solutions to the king's dreams?  Pharaoh's Dreams (the cows and the sheaves) reexamined, based on an observation of Dr. Moseh Zeidel z"l. The "Hidah" (riddle) and "Halom" (dream) are associated in Bamidbar 12 and therein begins our inquiry, including an analysis of Shimshon's famous riddle. Source sheet >>

*Special Edition: Parshat Miketz - Shabbat Chanukah!!!!!* How to make the Yetzer Hara depressed!?!

What pit are you still trapped in? This Parsha is full of questions to reflect upon as we continue to follow Joseph on his journey. Now he's high up in Egypt as a result of his God-given ability to interpret dreams correctly. His own brothers don't even recognize him when they come to get food during the famine. If you listen until the end, you'll get a special Chanukah song from us! May your light shine brightly this holiday. Amen.

Miketz 2024

The star of this week's Torah portion of Miketz is Joseph, who goes from being a prisoner in jail, to being the most powerful man in Egypt...on account of other people's dreams. Yosef's interpretation and advice is based on the wisdom of Divine inspiration, and his sterling character is synonymous with purity and righteousness. So why didn't his own brothers recognize him? And why did Joseph arrange such elaborate theatre, confusing and confounding his brothers? Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman focus on the enigmatic Joseph in this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, sharing more amazing insights from the sages as well as archeological/historic evidence that testifies to Joseph in history.

Hashem's Plan

Yosef's wisdom and discernment geared up Egypt for a devastating famine, the likes of which had never been known. To achieve the mobilization of an entire country requires a specific kind of success In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976).

Chelek 20, Miketz 2

This week, Dave will look into the question of why most Jewish people do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah.What is all this talk about "Appetizers, Entrées and Desserts"? If you read Hebrews 5 the author talks about how the fellow believers are like babies because they are ignorant of the "Oracles of God." The majority of the time that this word is used is in connection with the Torah given by God to His people. Here at The Whole Testament, we believe that we are also often times "Baby Believers" not knowing the meat of God's Oracles. We want to learn how to "eat" solid food. We are using this as a model for our podcasts. We want to eat meals, full big meals with an appetizer, entrées, and a dessert. The appetizers are shorter more devotion like episodes that are designed to get you thinking about something in a new way. The entrees are intended to get your really thinking deeply about the scriptures, and the desserts are about how we can apply what we have learned in our lives through conversations with people who are trying to do it in their lives. The Whole Testament is supported by people like you. To help us continue the conversation, head to thewholetestament.com and click on the donate tab.
