Portion Shabbat Va Yee Gosh - the wars continue
Do they really?
Well - in this portion Judah is ABOUT TO strike Joseph - who he thinks is an Egyptian
Anyone remember the Moses incident? Another fight - with the Pharaohs … until WE GOT OUT.
In today's TALMUD CYCLE COMPLETION celebration
in my Kolel of Retired Geniuses - and policemen and bureaucrats ...
One of our teachers at the Great Synagogue of Jerusalem reminded us that
Joseph was a King
And Judah's descendants were kings (from David on down …)
so there were ALWAYS some differences .. over who rules (EVEN CONFLICTS)
OIY - and then Chanuka came in - where the priests of the Tribe of Levi took over!
They ticked off the Davidic dynasty - BUT EVENTUALLY
Because they had wisdom and dedication -
THE TALMUD (MISHNA parts) -
WAS STARTED UNDER THEIR RULE
and was COMPLETED - 300 ears later - By Rabbi Judah the Prince
who was descended from DAVID - and a TRUE PRINCE (and genius).
So remember the rule -
Joseph and Judah and Levi may have their quarrels -
but in the end
they ALL BRING HOLY WISDOM TO THE TABLE - for ALL OF US TO LEARN
