has the very very famous dream about the
seven fat cows and the Seven skinny cows
and he is so upset that in the morning
he calls all of his advisors and all of
his horses and all of his men the
necromancers and nobody can put paro's
dream together again then the saramash
game The Butler says oh I remember this
boy who was in prison with me he can
interpret your dream and they take you
safe they run him out of the prison they
shave him up put him on a nice Tom Ford
suit stand him in front of Paro and he
interprets his dream and he says it's
going to be seven years of plenty and
then seven years of famine and now you
should do this brilliant thing called
crop rotation and you should save some
of the food for the bad years
Paro is so impressed with Yosef that he
says wow I'm going to make you the
second in command of the whole country
I'm Gonna Make You the Viceroy of Egypt
and very simple question like perhaps
you should make him the chief dream
interpreter if you're gonna make him
anything make him the dream interpreter
and if you wanted to go even like
gangbusters past that making the
minister of Agriculture why would you
take him and say oh wow this guy's so
impressive I'm gonna make him second in
command of Egypt that just doesn't stand
to reason at all
the idea is as follows yosef's ability
to interpret dreams is not because he's
some kind of crystal ball you know Palm
Reader dream interpreter what Yosef
understands is psychology your dream
after all is your subconscious mind
speaking to you and speaking for you so
Paro knew that there was something
really really interesting and
deep-rooted troubling going on in his
psychology but he couldn't put his
finger on exactly what Yosef hears the
dream it says Paro I'll tell you exactly
what's happening you see your country
falling apart the problem with the seven
years of famine is that the famineers
will be so bad that no one will even
remember the good years we're going to
have to be communist we're going to have
to stand in breadlines for the better
part of a decade
the country's going to fall apart and
therefore Paro says there's no one
better than you Yosef the person who
understands the depth of the psychology
of the individual you're the guy that
has to run this because only through
some kind of concerted effort to get the
entirety of the nation to function as
one that's the only way we're ever going
to pull through this and sure enough
Yosef is able to Rally the country to
come together and it doesn't just save
the country but it catapults Egypt into
an even larger Regional power because
they have food where the others do not
and they're able to take all the money
from all the sides and grow the country
that's why Paro makes him the Viceroy of
the uh of the country of Egypt have an
unbelievable Shabbos
I want to say a brief word to you about
shinaimyomi learning Torah is incredible
learning gemara is amazing these words
the words of the Hamish are hashem's
words and he's talking to each and every
one of us he's talking to you and he's
talking to me setting aside just a
little bit of time two to three minutes
every single day to hear the words of
God I promise you will change your life
so Kola kavod for doing and may you
enjoy and may you continue to grow
thank you
