MY DAILY LIFE TORAH COACH:
Parshat Miketz n.10

In parshat Miketz, we recount Joseph’s ascent from the depths of imprisonment to the pinnacle of power in Egypt, as he interprets Pharaoh’s dreams of seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine.

Joseph’s wisdom and faith may have rescued Egypt from catastrophe, though it also offers a profound reminder for us today: in the face of adversity, Joseph never gave up his unwavering resilience, humility and trust in God. Betrayed, enslaved, and imprisoned, he never succumbs to despair but instead trusts in God’s plan, using his talents to serve others.

By attributing his success to divine providence, Joseph exemplifies the beauty of humility and the responsibility to use our gifts for the greater good. Miketz inspires us to face challenges with courage and faith, transforming trials into opportunities for growth and leadership.
