Parshas Vayeishev (5772)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
The wife of Potifar with her false accusations against Yosef HaTzaddik recognized in him true traits for his potential to reach heights of greatness and by having him imprisoned, a situation of the epitome of lowness, meant to sabotage any hope for the realization of his potential. As it turned out his imprisonment turned out to be the tool by which he reached the greatest level that a person could reach, second only to Paroah. Rabos machshavos b’lev ish…. The goyim through the generations attempt to destroy us and the Torah and it turns out to be the source of our greatest glory.
Have a wonderful Shabbos.
