Yehuda taking a stance, in a state of crisis, we use our strongest, best approach.

Yosef has the power to see his story for what it really is- the will of G-d, he's not at the whims of flesh and blood, and with that he can repay bad with real good.

It's hard for Yaakov to go down to Egypt, Hashem tells him not to fear..lessons on how to approach hard stuff, how to deal with ourselves, our outlook, our parents, our close ones....

We have so much to learn from Yoisef, who had "the Name of Hashem" constantly on his lips, and also expressed emotion- faith doesn't turn one into a robot, faith just enables them to function within the pain.

Yoseph's name, his journey, his outlook. So many lessons

Yitzchak favors Eisav. How? Why?

The power of showing up, even if its hypocritical. Seeking out the good and the desire to bring it out. With many wonderful stories to illustrate.

The power of prayer. A goosebumps worthy story of a grave dug in Jeruselum.

The power of digging deep- as yitzchak does to uncover the wells of his father, what that means on a spiritual level and how it applies to me today.
