Baruch HaShem....
Thank you Rabbi Goldwag...Thank you for the shir from Vayigash... one little question...
You spoke of how Joseph cried and also how Joseph said he was sent ahead of his family to Egypt to be a provider for them and the world... well... thinking of how Rachel also cried.. and she also is not buried in Machpelah with her husband, but on the Road to Bethlehem to cry for her children... and the two/Rachel and Joseph being connected... what is the significance between the two and their roles? They seem similar... are they?
Thank you very much for your deep insights... we all appreciate your teaching very much so.
