Parshas MiKaitz — Shabbos Chanukah (5765)
By Mordechai Dolinsky
Imagine the anguish Yosef went through being falsely accused and subsequently imprisoned for something that he demonstrated and exercised the epitome of self-control not to indulge in and sin. Now, as a ruler, he was basking in the success that the false accusations caused and created. What a lesson!
Our fulfillment of the Torah and mitzvos ignite a light within and outside our homes which usually we cannot see. Perhaps with the mitzvah of the Chanukah lights we are taking a glimpse at this light.
Have a beautiful Shabbos and a happy Chanukah.
