The hidden love in each Jew ((כסף, is drawn down uniquely to each Jew by Yosef, the Nasi of the generation
Yosef managed (not just distributed) the food supply for the entire, needed period of the famine
Purpose of exile is to “grab” the sparks in the foreign land, and afterwards go out with wealth
The Jews settled comfortably in Goshen, yet they ultimately remained strangers in a foreign land that was “grasping” them away
When Jewish children are subject to bad influences one must step forward to speak out for them
Not just hear the words, but that the words are directed to Yosef’s heart to change his decision and free Binyomin
The three mitzvos specifically geared to women transform the three basic human activities into uniquely Jewish activities
The 70th (unlisted) soul completed the count and contributed to the Jews’ ability to cope with the darkness, and to accomplish the purpose of this exile (birur & bitul) in preparation to Matan Torah
All Jews are in essence removed from the world, but also have the ability to do their service in the world while remaining unified with HaShem
As Yosef supported his family during the physical famine, so too in spirituality Yosef was involved with the world, yet remained completely united with HaShem; Jews inherited this ability for all time
In essence the doing of Mitzvos results from the bitul that is higher from intellect
The joining of Yehudah, the King, & Yosef (deeds and learning) during the time of Moshiach indicates the primacy of deed yet incorporating Talmud
כל ישראל ערבין זה בזה
The unity of all Jews is as if one unit, no head, and all one source
Yehudah’s status of guarantor was to stand in Binyomin’s place; due to the central connection of one Jew to another
