Portion VaYayShev - Dreams and Dislocation
So whose dreams are discussed intros portion?
Joseph and the Butler and the Baker - but
Why was Joseph dreaming about wheat and about stars?
That's easy - he FED the world, and he became a superstar!
Butler - okay wine, Baker - okay bread.
But what's the connection between the three mean for us?
So think about this: Joseph gets stuck still - in jail - after he interprets the dreams of the other guys.
The commentators say it was because he asked the butler for help and didn't trust the Almightyenough.
I say - from a perspective of today 3000 years later - maybe it was PARTLY because -
(not a criticism - but a learning for today)
WE needed to learn from JOSEPH some more tricks for TODAY!
He didn't SAVE the Baker?
He didn't stay FRIENDS with the butler?
He didn't involve the Prison Warden who trusted him implicitly?
WE CAN LEARN SO SO MUCH from JOSEPH's story.
But after the years of holocaust and the new threats against Israel -
WE NEED TO LEARN THE JOSEPH STORY IN A WAY TO BRING US TO WHAT RABBI CARLEBACH SANG
Peace in every home
Peace in Yerushalayim
Peace in the Holy Land
Peace - TRUE PEACE- among the peoples who
like the BDS-liars the terrorists'-apologists - and the anti-semites who allow others to hurt our people
like we read in a few weeks - of those "who don't remember Joseph"-
Who forget all the GREAT things the Jewish People do for the world!
Let's wake up the world with stories of Joseph and getting the brothers to a higher spiritual place!
Shabbat Shalom
