In the merit of Yosef Midrash teaches that the Sea of Reeds split before the children of Israel when it beheld the bones of Yosef. What was it about Yosef hatzaddik - Joseph the righteous - that caused the very forces of nature to be undone? By gaining mastery over those very forces within his own being he was able to influence the natural forces around him. Vayeshev (Genesis 37:1-40:23) Parashat Vayeshev is read on Shabbat: Kislev 23, 5769/December 20, 2008 http://www.templeinstitute.org/
