Rabbi Haber, Shlit'a,

Rabbi Haber shows us that when the Torah tells us in the sentence "These are the generations of Yaakov" in Parashat Vayeshev it means this is the story of "Yosef." And this story is not only the reason that we became slaves in Mitzrayim, but also it is the reason for the destruction of the 2nd Temple, and is the reason for our ultimate redemption. Yaakov saw in Rachel that he would have a child that would insure the future of the Jewish People. Yosef was "the plan!" Yosef was the image of Yaakov. The story of the life of Yaakov was the same story as the life of Yosef. Yaakov and Yosef were both hated and hunted by his sibling. There are 25 commonalities between the life of Yaakov and Yosef. The jealousy of the sibilings of Yaakov and Yosef was due to the greatness of Yaakov and Yosef.
