This Too Is for the Good
The life of Joseph demonstrates God's sovereign hand in human lives. Though the world seems to follow a completely random course around us, God is actually working out His purposes in the midst of it. From Joseph's point of view, there was no reason to suspect that God had his best interests in mind.

Parashat Vayetzei - The Lonely Place of Connection by Rabbi Russ Resnik Genesis 28:10-32:2; Hosea 11:7-14:9; 1 Peter 2:13-25
It’s a paradox: To find community, I have to find my individual self. Or turn that around: As I find myself in God, I find that I’m part of something much bigger than myself.

Parashat Chayei Sarah Genesis 23:1-25:18; 1 Kings 1:1-31; Matthew 2:1-23 Falling in love is not a good criteria upon which to base a marriage. It would have been easy for Isaac to fall in love with any number of Canaanite girls. Why didn’t he? Because Abraham would not allow it. Abraham placed clear and specific limits around Isaac’s potential mates.
