Why did Yosef refer to "my father" when asking his brothers if Yaakov was still alive? Shouldn't he have said "our father"?

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?

As Yaakov prepares to meet Esav, he sends messengers with a cryptic message: “I have lived with Lavan.” What does this mean? Why does Yaakov say he fears Esav will attack one camp but spare the other? And why does he tell Esav that despite living with Lavan, he kept all the Mitzvos - would Esav care?
This week, we gain insight into the two-front battle we must continuously be ready to fight. How can we ensure we have the right intentions when performing Mitzvos? How did living in Lavan’s house strengthen Yaakov’s commitment to Hashem’s path? And what is the deeper message behind the seemingly redundant plea "Save me from my brother, from Esav"?
Join us on this episode of the Prism of Torah as we explore how Yaakov’s dramatic confrontation with Esav teaches an incredibly relevant message for our own battles in life. The story reveals the true battle we all face and will give us the Siyata Dishmaya to face our enemies, external and internal, as Yaakov Avinu did so long ago.

What is a Melacha? Does our mindset and intention impact the Melacha? Fundamental questions arise around the philosophy of transgression.
Whether you're a beginner looking to develop your learning skills or eager to further your depth of knowledge in Gemora and Rishonim, this week's Shiur will challenge you to rethink conventional borders.
This week, Reb Asaf Aharon Prisman gave a Shiur at Kollel Beis Hillel on Maseches Shabbos, examining what defines a Melacha that is prohibited on Shabbos versus a mundane weekly act.
How integral is our Kavana (intention) to the definition of a prohibited Melacha? We try to define what a Melacha is and what makes the prohibitions unique - actually destroying something rather than creating (Mochek, Soser, Korea, etc'). Understanding these intricate details will help address an incredible question posed by Rabbi Akiva Eiger on the Tosfos.
All this is based on an innocent statement in Gemora Shabbos 73B where Rav Kahana mentions that a person cutting branches is liable for Planning and Zomer, but only if he actually wants the branches for firewood. Tosfos clarifies that this is even in Rav Yehuda's view that any time a person does a dry action resulting in a prohibition, it is always "over" the prohibition no matter the intention.
We will address Rabbi Akiva Eiger's question on the Tosfos, despite it remaining largely unresolved.

Yaakov’s marriage starts off with trickery, embarrassment, and confusion. Why does Hashem allow such a holy union to begin this way? In this week’s parsha, Rachel makes the noble choice to prevent her sister's (Leah) shame by giving over the simanim—and sacrificing marrying Yaakov. Yet later, Leah lashes out at Rachel for stealing Yaakov and now wanting her son’s dudaim. What audacity! After all, it is only thanks to Rachel that she was able to marry Yaakov (As chazal tell us she was destined to marry Eisav and hence she was constantly crying)? What is behind Leah’s harsh words? How are we to understand Leah and Rochel’s complex relationship?
What crucial lesson about the right motivations for doing chesed can we learn from this family drama? And how did one sage make a courageous choice for kiddush Hashem rather than clearing his name? Tune in as we dive into the prism of Torah and discover answers to these questions and more.

Whose prayers hold greater power and impact - the righteous child of a wicked parent or the righteous child of a righteous parent? At first glance, it may appear that the former would possess a stronger influence. Yet, in this week's parsha, it is Yitzchak's supplication that is resoundingly answered, rather than Rivka's. This revelation sparks intrigue: what hidden advantage did Yitzchak possess?
Delve into our latest podcast episode where we embark on a profound exploration of prayer and the perpetual challenges of life. We unravel captivating insights that defy conventional wisdom.

In this episode, we dive deeper into what it means to truly connect with Tisha B'Av and elevate ourselves. We discuss the importance of feeling emotion and connecting with our hearts. It is not enough to simply observe Tisha B'Av with sadness; we must approach it as a mitzvah. We explore the idea that feeling pain is a positive sign of being connected, drawing analogies to a dentist realizing the root is still alive when the patient experiences pain.
We address two important questions: why does it seem harder for our generation to connect with Tisha B'Av, and why did the leaders of the Jewish people in the past cry over seemingly trivial matters? We discuss the need to work on ourselves and get into the proper mindset to truly connect with Tisha B'Av. We share insights, highlighting the importance of going beyond just the words in the Torah and delving deeper into its wisdom and creation.
We also touch on the challenges faced by scholars in today's society and the disheartening disconnect between the younger and older generations. Many individuals are more focused on material gain rather than personal growth, leading to an absence of the Shechinah in our lives. We explore the importance of learning and a deeper connection to the Torah, emphasizing the significance of the Temple and its impact on our spiritual growth.
Throughout the episode, we reference various teachings and stories to illustrate our points. We discuss the need for pain to trigger teshuva, the connection between mourning and bringing Yerushalayim back, and the role of the shofar in awakening us. We also reflect on the unique times of Tisha B'Av, the three weeks leading up to it, and Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, all of which provide opportunities for teshuva and spiritual growth.
In conclusion, we believe that everything is connected to the concept of rebuilding the Beit Hamikdash, and it is our responsibility to strive for improvement and make a significant impact on multiple levels. We must recognize our own shortcomings and aspire to reach higher levels of spiritual connection.

In Parshas Behaaloscha, we encounter a recurring verse that states, "At the commandment of Hashem they journeyed, and at the commandment of Hashem they encamped." This repetition may raise questions in our minds: Why is it emphasized so frequently? Why is the wording extensive? Similarly, we wonder about the existence of ten sefirot instead of just one. Couldn't Hashem have created the world with a single attribute? Furthermore, Judaism seems to place great importance on the minutiae, from which shoe to put on first to the specific order of our actions. Does Hashem truly concern Himself with such details? Does He genuinely care about our every action?

The items have been brought to assist the Mishkan construction. Hashem says a חכם לב should build the Mishkan. What does the heart have to do with anything? In fact why is the brain, the power of thinking never mentioned in the Torah? Surely it should be the most important part of the person?
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad
We have to learn from this lesson how this message should be taken into real-life situations. A story that shows us how some are able to do it after the money jumps out from under the bed- yes it’s a true story

Reb Asaf Aharon Prisman on the Parsha
Common… really? Yitzchok, forefather of the Jewish nation, who Hashem spoke to, did not know the evils of his son, Esav? He thought Esav was the good one? In the reality, who is tricking who? What was the game he was really playing? Based on an amazing idea from the Zichron Meir, we can entirely change our perspective when we deal with people, especially those closest to us. Also, a beautiful story of a Yeshiva Bachur kicked out of Raden and his memories of the Chofetz Chaim.

Avraham, known for his generosity /Chessed and kindness, gets tested with an act of Gvura (Thus overcoming his MIdda of Chessed which was his essence).
Almost all Siddurim have Akeidat Yitzchak in the davening with a Yehi Ratzon at the end requesting Hashem to actually do the opposite and ensure His Mida of Chessed overcomes His MIda of Gvura. What is exactly this request of ours to Hashem? What do we learn from this? How can this affect our lives? What is the vital lesson we can learn from this? How can we know what we should be working on in our daily lives? A great story about a Rebbe that knew all of the above and used this crucial information to impact his Talmid. this and more...

Reb Asaf Aron Prisman on the Parsha – Shavous 2022
Available on prismanoftorah.com
As this week is Shavous we will be discussing a concept in relation to the Yom Tov.
Why do we read Rus on Shavous? Is there a connection?
What was Dovid Hamelech’s Role in this?
What has all this got to do with Torah?
The question we need to ask is, do we find anything important enough to sacrifice for it? Do we live for a bigger cause or only for ourselves?
Please share with family and friends, any feedback please send it to prismanoftorah@gmail.com . Visit our website prismanoftorah.com
