it's time for rabbi Minko its weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight rabbi Mingo 'it's welcome to
this week's Torah lesson this week's
Torah portion is partially Kate's the
question of the week is how can we be
inspired to make an impact on the world
so in this week's Torah portion parshas
me cates we learn about the fulfillment
of the interpretation of the dreams that
Joseph interpreted pyros dreams that
there was going to be a famine and sure
enough as he predicted this week's Torah
portion tells us the way the years of
plentiful were finished and now the year
of the years of famine started to begin
so the Torah tells us the Mithraeum now
needs food today come running to pottery
we need food so Perry says what you go
to yo safe so the commentaries tell us
that they did go to yosef all along but
you also said you want food no problem
you have to be circumcised and they
didn't want to they refuse they came to
power we we don't want to listen to him
so pires says he have no choice because
the fact is he is a holy man he's the
one that predicted the famine he's the
one that taught us how to put away food
so we'll have for the years of the
famine so we have no choice other than
to listen to a godly man as Joseph so
Larry brings out a phenomenal idea and
that is as follows amongst Jacob's sons
you had the all the tribes the 11 tribes
angad jokes the 11 tribes they were not
involved in the world they were taking
care of the sheep they were out there
doing their own thing meditating all day
and being busy with themselves in their
family Joseph on the other hand realizes
the world and there are people and their
communities and it's time to make an
impact in the world Joseph de was not
afraid to the world he didn't run away
from the world he went then he got
involved in politics and government than
he was here to help people not only that
he helped them physically from got a bit
of being a famine and they wouldn't have
what to eat but more importantly
spiritually he was a spiritual leader
for them and inspire them to do godly
and holy things up
still inspiring them to circumcise
strobing says here you see a powerful
lesson or life from Joseph how you don't
have to be afraid for the world on the
contrary be a godly person be a
spiritual person and you'll be able to
have a true impact on the world to
answer the question how can we be
inspired to make an impact in the world
just me about Joseph Joseph was sold as
a slave but he was committed he was
passionate and he lived a godly life he
remained loyal to God and he was able to
have a tremendous impact on power and
all the Egyptians this week's Torah
lesson is dedicated to the memory of
baroque Benari liebe and ben
Yosef may their souls be elevated for
the Torah we're studying in their memory
