Welcome to Monday Torah, a weekly internet class with Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Jacobson, spiritual leader of Congregation Bais Shmuel in Crown Heights and a world renowned speaker and teacher.
This week’s class focuses on an amazing insight of the famed Gaon of Rogatchov, explaining the difference between Pharaoh’s dreams and how he repeated them to Yosef. What is superior-essence or projection? A subtle change of order in Pharaoh’s dreams teaches us about the timeless tension between glamour and content; between two phases in Joseph’s life, and between the Greeks and the Jews.
The brilliant insight also sheds new light on the conflict between the Hellenists and the Jews which created the Chanukah festival.
The Monday evening class is aired weekly on TheYeshiva.net and on COLlive.com.
