Read Article 12) Posted Dec 17 2008 Man Serving Hashem ... The Center Of Creation By Rabbi Yakov Horowitz The brothers of Yosef referred to him as the "The Dreamer" (Bereishis 37:19). And, while the brothers seemed to have used the title in a disparaging manner, Yosef's life was, in fact, inextricably tied to dreams.
