  1. "There Is None So Wise and Knowing As You"

    Rabbi Amnon Bazak

    All the dreams associated with Joseph come in pairs; Joseph dreamed two dreams, the butler and the baker's dreams complement each other, and Pharaoh dreams two dreams. The development of the dreams lies in the contrast of each pair, and the three pairs can be viewed as one system. The two initial pairs prepare Joseph for his meetings with Pharaoh, and provided him with the ability to interpret Pharaoh's dreams.

  2. The Good Figs and the Bad Figs

    Rabbi David Sabato

    The prevalent mood among those who remained in the Land of Israel after the exile of Yehoyakhin was that their brothers had been exiled from the land and they viewed themselves as heirs to the land. Yirmiyahu struggled against this perception, arguing that it is precisely the exiles, who are likened here to good figs, who will return to the land and inherit it, while those who remained in the land, who are likened to bad figs, will become diminished in numbers and disappear.

    There are several lines of similarity between the vision concerning the figs in Yirmiyahu's prophecy and the dreams of Pharaoh that were interpreted by Yosef. Yosef interprets Pharaoh's dream and reveals to him that a great calamity is about to fall upon Egypt. However, Yosef, who was sold as a slave to Egypt, succeeds in saving his family in the years of famine and sustaining them in the exile of Egypt. 

    In the same way, Yirmiyahu, the prophet of destruction and exile, stands before a great calamity that is threatening to befall the people. In this vision, Yirmiyahu reveals that it is precisely in the depths of the calamity that we find a bright spot in the form of the good figs, the exile of Yehoyakhin, who were "picked" at an earlier stage, before they became ruined, in order to constitute a base for the renewal of the people after the destruction and after the exile in Babylon.

  6. The Interpretation of Pharaoh's Dream

    Prof. Jonathan Grossman

    Why was it Yosef's interpretation which Pharaoh was prepared to accept despite the fact that presumably there were people in Egypt officially recognized as professionals in this field? Through a close examination of the story we can see that Yosef recognizes a crucial detail in Pharaoh's dreams which his other advisors missed, and audaciously suggests a solution to the problem that the dreams raise. 

  7. Yosef: Dreamer and Interpreter

    Rabbi Dr. Tamir Granot

    How did Yosef succeed in interpreting Pharaoh's dreams? What is the key to their interpretation? By noticing the discrepancies between Pharaoh's original dreams and the versions he recounts to Yosef, we understand the way in which Yosef utilizes these differences to prove his great wisdom to Pharaoh. We also notice that Pharaoh's dreams resulted in a transformative process for Yosef by shedding light on his own dreams.

  16. Parshat Miketz - A Crisis of Dreams

    Rabbi Chanoch Waxman | 33 דקות

    We will be discussing the beginning of Mikketz. Pharaoh’s dreams and their lack of solution is the key to the story. This parasha is the story of the initial lack of solution and the eventual resolution of that crisis. Phaaoh ultimately cedes control to Yosef the Hebrew.

    It is not just Yosef who recognizes God, but Pharaoh who recognizes God- which conjures up the idea of Shemot in the reader's mind. This story foreshadows who is really in charge in Egypt - and it is appropriate that it appears here, at the very beginning of the Exodus story.
