Parshas Vaychi (5764)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

A pasuk in our parsha together with the explanation of Rashi declare clearly an important principle that many are not sure of.  (50:19) Yosef  said to his brothers not to fear “Ki sachas Elokim oni”—and Rashi explains that even if I wanted to harm you I have no power to do it.  Many are under the false impression that a human, since he is a baal bechira has the power to harm another human and here we see clearly that this principle is incorrect.

We should merit to witness the realization of the brachos of Yaakov Avinu and the coming of Mashiach speedily.  Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Parshas Vayigash (5764)

In our sedra we find one of the most dramatic episodes in history—Yosef’s revelation to his brothers.  We must understand what aspect of Yehuda’s speech signaled Yosef to make this revelation.  There doesn’t seem anything significant in Yehuda’s address that should prompt this.

In his speech Yehuda went through the epitome of simplicity step by step of what had occurred.  As simple as this sounds, it reflects a clarity of the mind and true intellectual control.  This was Yosef’s signal that the time was ripe and right.  The brothers were free at last from the perversion of the mind that prevented them from seeing the truth of the greatness of Yosef and its implications.

Hashem should bless us all with clarity of mind to see the truth.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
