Parshas Vayigash (5 772)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

It is noteworthy that from the moment that Yosef revealed himself to his brothers (45:3) for the next pesukim we don’t hear a word from them “V’lo yachlu” — the brothers were not able to react verbally.

When exposed to the real truth; the real truth–one is shocked. In the event of Klal Yisroel and in our own personal lives things happen. The real absolute truth is so hidden, so far, that when it is finally revealed we are in absolute shock and in silence and awe. If we understand this we would be more objectively aggressive in our search for the real truth.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Parshas Mikaitz-Shabbos Chanukah (5772)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Yosef Hatzaddik was able to achieve all his awesome accomplishment in having insight into Paroh’s dreams and everything that followed by keeping and intensive focus on the presence of Hashem in the world beneath the apparent surface. This was the true key to success of the Chashmonaim’s victory over the Greeks and bringing a great light to Klal Yisroel.

We should all be worthy of this recognition. Have a wonderful Shabbos and Chanukah.

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.

Eisav has an awesome hatred for Yaakov and is coming towards him with an army set out for destruction– and kisses Yaakov with love. Yaakov has fulfilled the Will of Hashem and everything works out. His learning, his davening, his tznius, and guarding the tznius of his wives and daughter; the whole deal and Yaakov is a success.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Was Yaakov Avinu such a batlan that he couldn’t deal and outsmart Lavan’s devious wicked ways; such wickedness, setting up the wrong bride. Yaakov made his hishtadlus and left the rest for the Ribbono Shel Olam and because of this we have today a Klal Yisroel. Don’t be too smart, Hashem is with us.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and hatzlach for all of Klal Yisroel.

Parshas Toldos (5772)

A very deep thought…Yado ochezes b’aikev Eisav. Yaakov was named because he was grasping the heel of Eisav. Yaakov’s name is his essence, named after Eisav’s body and the lower most part of his body; a dependency on Eisav.

Yaakov successfully got the brachos from Yitzchok. V’yiten l’cha….and on it we life and exist. These brachos was in essence the brachos that were really meant for Eisav. We are living on the brachos of Eisav.

The significance of all this is very deep.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a wonderful Chodesh and we should be zocheh to receive the birchas Hashem and see Moshiach tzidkeinu.

(18:18 and the following pesukim) The pasuk gives significance to Avraham’s great mission. “KI yedativ lemaan asher yetzaveh es bonov etc. — the foundation of foundations- Avraham’s central purpose and then connects it so significantly which follows his awesome appeal for the salvation of the wicked Sedom. This is a revelation of the key of his greatness which was the love and concern for every human being.

On his last Shabbos Reb Nosson Tzvi Finkel, the Rosh Yeshiva of the biggest Yeshiva in the world said out of context – the tzavaa of the Mirrer Yeshiva is ish echad b’lev echad.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Being in the Succa is to crystalize the idea that the Shchina is above us. What is unique in this, this thought is the whole foundation of our emunah. In the Succah we are granted permission to point to the schach and declare– there– is ththe Shchina. The naaanuim of the daled minim is to declare that Hashem is all around, up, down, east, west etc. What is uniqe? This is the basis of our faith. Here again the awesomeness is that we are granted permissiom to point and declare– there is Hashem.

Have a simchas Yom Tov with all the brachos and a wonderful Shabbos.

With all the fanfare and fuss of the preparation of Yom Tov we must in focus the essence of the Chag that by transfering our complete dwelling to the Succah we are acknowledging and commemorating the love, concern and care that Hashem displayed to us in the life threatening surrounding of the desert for 40 years. The point of the lesson is that He continues to do so. To see it and realize it is the greatest source of simcha. V’samachta b’chagecha– with love to all and blessing for a joyous and meaningful Yom Tov.
