Riddle Of The Bowing Stars: Joseph's Mysterious Dream
Joseph has some bizarre dreams through the story of Genesis. One of the oddest is a dream that really upsets his brothers and father, a dream about a sun, moon and some bowing stars, but what a mysterious dream. How would a star – a ball of light – bow?
Rabbi Fohrman points out that up to this point in the Torah, only two people have ever had dreams – Jacob and Joseph, father and son. Is that a coincidence? If not, is there a relationship between father's dreams and son's dreams? Could understanding the relationship between the dreams reveal what the dreams truly mean?
