teous hero who survived Egyptian influence. When a man amasses wealth and power, they do not become a part of him, making him inherently any greater. They simply make his ‘bundle’ more important, requiring people with less means to pay their respects to it. The first dream foretold the deference Yosef’s brothers would be forced to pay him as viceroy of Egypt, but this was a respect paid to Yosef’s bundle and not to his essential self. The second dream, with its heavenly bodies,

Our goal on Chanukah is to involve everybody in the celebration of the miraculous historical events, and to share the light of Torah with as many people as possible. Stories of good overcoming evil are even more necessary in today’s troubled world. In the giving of gifts we are limited by financial constraints, but in sharing light and love we are unlimited; an infinite number of candles can be lit from one flame. Let us strive to focus our families on the spiritual messages of Chanukah rather than the materialistic messages around us, and spread light in the darkness.
