Chanukah, Dreams, & Depth: What Yosef Teaches Us About Real Wisdom | Rabbi Dovid Rosman

Описание: What does Chanukah have to do with Yosef, dreams, and the way we define wisdom?

In this Chanukah Mesiba talk, Rabbi Rosman explores a fascinating moment in Parshat Miketz: why Yosef is described as a na’ar, an ivri, and an eved; and most puzzling of all, why he is portrayed as a shoteh (a fool), even moments before proving himself wiser than all of Egypt.

Through Rashi, Chazal, and a deeper hashkafic lens, Rabbi Rosman uncovers two powerful ideas:
How even false narratives can leave lasting impressions and quietly shape our confidence and worldview
Why attributing wisdom to Hashem, rather than to oneself, was seen as a weakness in Egypt and later by the Greeks

This message connects directly to the essence of Chanukah: the Greek attempt to flatten Torah into “just another body of knowledge,” stripped of depth, holiness, and connection to God. Chanukah reminds us that Torah, mitzvot, and Jewish life are not rituals for their own sake, but opportunities for tzafta, deep connection to Hashem.

This talk challenges us not just to be inspired but to become greater, to pause, recognize the miracles around us, and allow them to transform how we live, learn, and grow.
