How does Yosef’s ability to interpret dreams reflect his growth as a leader?

In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Dr. Meesh Hammer-Kossoy delve into Parshat Miketz, exploring Yosef’s extraordinary journey from the prison to Pharaoh’s court. They discuss the transformative power of trust (bitachon) and effort (hishtadlus), how Yosef’s interpretations highlight his personal growth, and the profound interplay of divine providence and human initiative. They also draw connections between Parshat Miketz and the themes of light, darkness, and renewal that align with Hanukkah.

Featuring:
