Below is a summary of the topics from the daily lesson as delivered by our teacher Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a – yesterday after the Maariv prayer on Sunday night, the 18th of Kislev, 5786, Parshat Vayeshev:

1. One must study the Rashi of all the parshiyot.
2. Rashi writes in the parsha "with him to him," and brings in the Sparks of Shimshon that Rabbi Shmuel bar Nachman knocked on Rashi's grave to know this secret, and Rashi revealed himself to him and explained that the dispute between the brothers and Yosef was the same as the dispute between the angels and the angel Metatron twenty-two years before the creation of the world, whether to create the world.
3. Hashem told Avraham to listen to Sarah. Hagar was the daughter of Pharaoh, the son of Nimrod. Sarah said to Avraham, "My wrong be upon you."
4. When Nimrod died, Eliezer came to claim the inheritance. They told him that it was written in the will that only one who follows in his father's ways. Avraham said Eliezer is the only one who follows in Nimrod's way, just as Nimrod rebelled against his father, so did Eliezer rebel against his father.
5. Yosef also disagreed with both Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai as brought in Eruvin, where it was concluded: "It is better for a person not to have been created than to have been created." However, Yosef said yes, to create the world. Because he is the tzaddik and he is responsible. Therefore, the brothers judged him as a rebellious elder who disputes a complete Sanhedrin.
