Shnayim Yomi - Miketz - Shlishi - #3 - R Mordechai Kalatzsky - Self-Mastery Comes Before Leadership

So shishi parro says you know after after hashem showed you all this you obviously should run the country. The puzz says that parro removed his ring and he put it on the hand of y and he dressed him in silk clothing and he gave him a gold necklace. So the message just bothered like the the Tyra is here to tell me about my life in 2024. Why does it matter to me what what Yseph was wearing a ring clothing like what is the lesson that can enhance my life? So says no no no it's not simple. means that the hand in the times of Asia's botifar right earlier when he was tempted by his master's wife and he said no the hands that didn't grab her was given a ring and the body that didn't embrace her was given the silk clothes and the neck that didn't connect to her was given the gold necklace everything was he literally was given so much reward for overcoming such a difficult such a test of turning her away you know what They ask, "Okay, therefore what?" My friends, listen to this. You know what the Torah is telling you? In order for you to be a ruler of the masses, a ruler. Do you know what you need to do first? You need to be a ruler over yourself. When you're a ruler over yourself, then you could rule objectively and help all the people. But if you don't have the private victories, you can't have the public victories. The Torah says, you know why Yoseph was worthy of having the ring and having the necklace and having the clothes and having this position? Cuz he overcame Potifa. You know why that's important? Cuz he literally had the private victories that built up the integrity and the clarity and the connecting to Hashem and the MS to make the right decisions. Really have to think about that.
