Nothing by Chance In life, sometimes things happen that we like and sometimes things happen that we dont like. Is it all just up to chance? In this weeks Torah portion, Josephs brothers, who had sold him into slavery many years before, are shocked to find him as viceroy (a position like vice-president) in Egypt. They are afraid that he will now get even with them. But instead of being angry, Joseph reassures them: It wasnt you who sent me here, but God, he explains. Joseph goes on to say that God caused a chain of events so that he (Joseph) would become a ruler in Egypt to save his family from the great famine that had come into the world. The Torah wants us to learn the lesson that was so clear to Joseph -- that everything happens according to Gods plans and nothing is merely left to chance.
