Not “Under The Influence”

"Assemble and hearken, O sons of Jacob; Hearken to Israel your father."

"...וַיִּפֹּל (יוֹסֵף) עַל־צַוָּארָיו וַיֵּבְךְּ עַל־צַוָּארָיו עוֹד" (בראשית מו:כט) אֲבָל יַעֲקֹב לֹא נָפַל עַל צַוְּארֵי יוֹסֵף וְלֹא נְשָׁקוֹ, וְאָמְרוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ, שֶׁהָיָה קוֹרֵא אֶת שְׁמַע: (רש"י שם) כששואלים אדם כמה מעצמו הוא מוכן לתת לעבודת ה', לאנשים שונים יהיו תשובות שונות. לדעתי מה שאנו אומרים בשמע  מלמד אותנו את התשובה הנכונה, "ובכל נפשך" – להיות מוכנים אפילו [...]

“…(Yosef) fell on his (Yaakov’s) neck, he wept on his neck a good while.” (Bereishis 46:29) RASHI: “Yaakcov, however, did not fall upon Joseph’s neck nor did he kiss him. Our Rabbis say: the reason was that he was reciting the Shema.” When a person is asked how much of himself he is willing to [...]

And Joseph said to Pharaoh, “…Pharaoh has been told what God is about to do…Pharaoh has been shown what God is about to do.” (41:25 & 41:28) Rabbi Shlomo Kluger (1785–June 9, 1869) points out that it is human nature to always want to be the first to tell over good news, but to shy [...]

תתמודד עם זה

"... אֵת אֲשֶׁר הָאֱלֹקִים עֹשֶׂה הִגִּיד לְפַרְעֹה...אֲשֶׁר הָאֱלֹקִים עֹשֶׂה הֶרְאָה אֶת־פַּרְעֹה" (בראשית מא:כה, מא:כח) הרב שלמה קלוגר מציין שבאופן טבעי אנשים רוצים להיות הראשונים לספר על חדשות טובות, אבל פחות כשהחדשות רעות - גם אם יש צורך להעביר את המידע. אנו רואים מושג זה בפרשת השבוע כאשר יוסף פותר את חלומות פרעה, ומודיע לו שיהיה [...]
