Saying Thank You

If someone did you 10 favors , would it suffice to only thank them for 1 or 2 of them.
On Chanuka we need to wake up & see the lights to thank Hashem & appreciate the countless favors He is always performing for us.

Why are you sad today ?

This question is what eventually led to Yoseifs release from prison.
This teaches us that
Kindness leads to Greatness !

Why was Yosef successful in everything that he did ( 39:3 ) ?

Rashi explains - Hashems name was always fluent in his mouth !

Cost of Words

Yosef brought bad reports to Father.
The Medrash says we learn to avoid Loshon Hora.
What were the costs of those words ?
Yosef was in prison for 12 years.
His father who had listened suffered for 22 yrs.
Words can be very costly !

Another Reason

The Angel did not divulge his name is because we must always realize that Hashem is running the entire world. Don't focus on the agents & miss the big picture.
See the Source.

Secret of No Name

Why did the Angel say to Yaakov - Why do you ask for my name ? 32:28

What is the point ?

This is explained that to protect ourselves from the Evil Inclination we need to know that he always has new disguises. The name will just confuse us. We need to focus on Torah study to learn how to deal with & overcome all of the ongoing challenges.

Answer

One who converted is considered as a newborn.

One who is in a position of authority is held responsible for those he represents.

Marriage is a formation of a new complete person.

But why does Rashi seem to omit one who forgives others who is also forgiven ( Rosh Hashana 17a ) ?

3 people are forgiven for their sins

The Hair Connection

Why does the Torah inform us that Eisov had lots of hair , but Yaakov was smooth skinned ?

Rav Wolbe ztl explains that
Hair is like wool , Rashi , in which things get tangled. All types of temptations were entangled in Esovs personality.
We learn to emulate the ways of Yaakov.
