Yud Tes Kislev Fabrengen / Vayeshev - Yosef HaTzaddik: Loyal Shepherd of a Wandering Flock

Nitzotzos: Thoughts to keep your spark alive

In this Yud Tes Kislev Fabrengen at Yeshivat Shaarei Mevaseret Tzion Rav Burg shares a Torah from the Ruzhiner Rebbe regarding Yosef HaTzaddik sharing evil reports about his brothers to their father Yaakov . Why would this cause Yaakov to love Yosef? What type of father loves his son who tells evil tales about his children? The Ruzhiner explains that in truth Yosef HaTzaddik was being Melamed Zechus on his brothers and seeing them through the lens of positivity is what brings Hashem the ultimate Nachas. Only when we find the Zechus in each and every Jew (and in ourselves) will we merit the Kesones Pasim.
