Parshas Vayechi (5768)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Many of us are under the false impression that humans are endowed by Hashem with the power to exert their power to harm others.  The truth is clearly expressed at the end of our sedra when the brothers of Yosef feared his revenge.   (50:19) Yosef unequivocally expresses “Hasachas Elokim anochi” as Rashi clearly explains that even if I would have wanted to harm you it would have been impossible if it had not been willed by Hashem.

How important it is for us to understand and implant this vital and critical outlook and integrate it into the practicalities of our way of life.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
