This continues the previous note. Contextually it made no sense to talk about this there, since it was more focused on Hanukkah. But since the previous note explored a few of Messiah’s aspects, it is worthy to go deeper in one of the most precious aspects shown in the Parasha.

Parashat Miketz-Vayigash (Part I) – The Messiah that Hannukah Concealed
Ben Yosef and the Evil Inclination In these days [2013], two Parashot that contain the mysteries of “Messiah ben Yosef” have not been so deeply studied, since the Hanukkah festivity took preference for most people I know, and somehow, Hanukkah conceals “Messiah ben Yosef” in the Parashot Mikets and Vayigash (Gn 41 to 47).

Many of the ideas are based on Ariel Cohen Alloro’s teachings. I hope the experts will forgive my simplicity within complexity. I’d like most people to be able to understand or at least follow the logic surrounding these commentaries, for this reason a few things will suffer over-simplicity. Chaos and Correction “Vayishlakh” is the portion Read More

Parashat Shemot – Names and Geulah
This week’s Parsha is Shemot. Shemot means “names”; since the portion starts with: ‘these are the names of the sons of Israel’ (Ex 1:1) Although Israel had fallen into Exile and slavery, The book starts enumerating the names of the children of Israel, to remind us that God didn’t abandon them [even though it seemed Read More
