Yakov settles in Israel. Yosef incites his brothers by recounting dreams of being master over them. The brothers want to execute Yosef, but throw him in a pit instead. He is then sold to a caravan of passing Ishmaelites. The brothers dip Yosef's coat in goat's blood & show it to Yakov, who assumes Yosef has been killed by a wild beast. In Egypt, Yosef is sold to Potifar, Paro's Chamberlain.

In the sedra’s sub-plot, Yehuda's sons Er & Onan die as punishment for preventing their wife Tamar from becoming pregnant. When Yehuda's wife dies, Tamar resolves to have children with Yehuda. She poses as a prostitute, is impregnated by Yehuda, & Zerach & Peretz (ancestor of David) are born.

Yosef rises to power in Potifar's house. Potifar's wife seduces him. When rejected, she accuses him of rape & he is jailed. Yosef interprets the dream of Paro's wine steward, who is reinstated, and the dream of Paro's baker, who is hanged. Despite promising, the wine steward forgets Yosef, who stays in jail.

"WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?"- Iran & Purim

Modern anti-Semitism, and especially this year's miraculous bombing of Iran's Supreme Leader & almost all of his military heads has many parallels in G-d's miraculous salvation in the Megilla, but especially in the Midrashim on Esther. Iran and President Trump can help us understand Haman & Achashverosh, as well as the difference between Christians and Moslems today!

When Galut is Necessary & When Not?

Rav Kook differentiates between sins of manners, sins of the individual and those of an entire country or society. In the latter case, gentile nations leave the stage of history, but Israel (which cannot be wiped out) is sent to exile. The class deals with the severity of a country officially licensing or condoning sin (e.g. same-sex marriages) which is much more severe than what individuals may do as private citizens. Finally, the class deals with the question of how Israel, as a democracy, should address the issue.

Orchot Tzaddikim

Orchot Tzaddikim class 81, "Torah" part ii

The class deals with how G-d grants each generation to innovate and add to the eternal Torah. Even though today, we may not be as religious and spiritual as previous generations, G-d has granted us many "game-changers" to make Torah today that much more NEW, exciting and intellectually and emotionally appealing.

Rabbi Ari Shvat | Adar 5786

Quality Over Quantity- Countless Ramifications

As mankind matures (similar to the individual child), we all realize that it's generally a mistake to go after quantity, at the expense of quality. Children and primitve man thought that "bigger is better", but today's tiny computer chips and laser warfare teach man what Judaism always knew. Rav Kook explains this important idea with so many ramifications in life and Torah, via the letter Yud, which is the smallest letter, and rationally explains its Kabbalistic meanings and usage. The class is a great example of how Rav Kook harmonizes and combines rational philosophy and logical Kabbala.
