<div dir="ltr">Just finished watching MiBreishit with Avi Ratt and Rav Beni Elon<div>a few things Rav Beni said:</div><div><br></div><div>- the brothers were in Shechem as their way of "resolving" their conflict with Yosef - stay apart</div>
<div><br></div><div>- in sending Yosef to check on the brothers, Yaacov said to Yosef, "you are to be leader, so you cannot be detached. You must take your chances and check on your brothers". Yosef took his chances, things got realyl bad for a while, but then we learn that Hashem make sit all work out properly in the end....</div>
<div><br></div><div>- in the haftara, Yehezkel says that even if the tree of Am Yisrael did not grow from a single root, we can take the trees that have grown from Yos\ef and Yehuda and graft them together to breed the New Am Yisrael.</div>
<div><br></div><div>BEH b'karov b'yameinu, we wil put together all that is good from each "tribe" to make together one unit that a serves Hashem in honesty, fairness, kindness and humility</div><div><br>
</div><div>Higid adam ma tov, u'ma Hashem doresh mimcha, ki im asot mishpat v'ahavat hessed, v'hatzne'a lechet im Elokecha</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
