Rabbi Richman Weekly Torah Portion: Miketz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phfdho7VxlU (24 mins)

The story of the betrayal of Yosef by his brothers and their ultimate reconciliation is one filled with pathos and pain. While the sin of the brothers who sold Yosef into slavery has long term ramifications which have reverberated throughout Jewish history for 1000's of years, their crime, ironically, by leading to Yosef's ascent in Egypt, saved humanity from deadly famine.

Rabbi Isaac #10 - Torah Parashah Mikketz

Mikketz Genesis 41-44:17

Mi Ketz, means "from the end" or "completion". It was the end of two full years, from the time the butler and baker were released from prison till Pharoah dreamed and the wine bearer remembered his promise to Yosef (Joseph). His experience in prison must have been akin to what we feel when we have the call of God on our lives and have to wait, sometimes years, to carry it out. He demonstrates for us the best way to spend our time, serving our Master diligently as the scripture says "whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might" Eccl. 9:10 By doing this, Yosef's endured the situation in patient service to Yahweh and his character was strengthened and prepared for the calling on his life.

Learn the symbolism of Joseph and Benjamin as different aspects of Messiah and the correlation with Joseph being brought forth from the pit (on Rosh Hashana/Yom Teruah/Day of Trumpeting) and those who will be brought forth from the pit of Death when Messiah comes on a future Day of Trumpeting! Contemplate the lessons for us in needing to have discernment and wisdom like Joseph to prepare for the coming famine (both Spiritual and Physical) and be a blessing to not only our families but all that God brings to us!

#10 Haftarah Mikketz - Parallels of Wisdom from Yosef and Solomon for us Today!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLm-5Wh3KvI (60 mins)

This week's haftorah from I Kings 3:15-4:1 opens with the words "And Solomon awoke, and behold it was a dream," echoing this week's Torah portion which opens with Pharaoh's dreams. Though not included in the haftorah, in this dream God granted King Solomon his legendary wisdom. The haftorah then relates a famous episode that made all of Israel aware of their new monarch's keen intellect. Two harlots approach King Solomon to adjudicate their dispute. They lived together in the same house, and each had given birth to an infant three days apart. One night, one of the infants was accidentally crushed to death by her mother, and one woman accused the other of switching infants in order to have a live baby. Each woman claimed that the live child is theirs and the deceased child was the other's. King Solomon asks that a sword be brought and orders that the child be cut in half with each woman receiving one half. At this point, the mother of the living child exhorts the king to give the child to the other woman so that he may live, while the other woman says, "Let it be neither mine nor yours, divide!" The king ruled: "Give her the living child, and by no means slay him: she is his mother!"

We draw inferences in our D'var Torah prophetically between these two woman... one true woman, one false woman with end-time prophecy about the true pure woman keeping God's commandments versus the false woman called a harlot in Revelation... Watch and learn the deeper message for us today!
