Parshas Vayeishev: Humble Pride  Yosef's Temptation Scene The KEY To Thwarting Greeks' CUNNING Plot of Superficiality Over Spirituality What was Yosef hinting at when he refused the advances of Potiphar's wife, stating "There is no one greater than me here"? How did this relate to maintaining humility yet self-worth? We explore the balance between arrogance and humility, uncovering how even negative traits can serve a higher purpose. Is there such a thing as "unhealthy humility" or is that an oxymoron? Surprisingly, yes - misplaced humility can be spiritually dangerous. How did this reality save lives during an earthquake in Tzfat centuries ago? Via drush, we connect the above scene of Yosef to the famous scene of Moshe Rabbeinu and the Burning Bush. These passages contain more parallel messages than meet the eye - timely teachings for Chanukah on attaining clarity amidst chaos. As the war continues, what mindset should we nurture this Chanukah and beyond?
