Vayechi - Feeling the Pain of Another

In this shiur, delivered in Sharfmans, Rav Burg explains (based on a Torah from Rav Yaakov Kaminetsky zt"l) why Shimon and Levi were assigned to become the Rabbeim and the Sofrim of Klal Yisrael. True, they were criticized by Yaakov Avinu for being overly zealous in killing the inhabitants of Shechem, but they were motivated by the pain they felt for their sister. They needed to be separated to avoid future destruction but they had the makings of great Mechanchim and transmitters of Torah.
