“\u2026 And Joseph said to his brothers, ‘I am Joseph; is my father still alive?’\u2026”<\/em> (Genesis 45:3)<\/span><\/p>\n

Our father Jacob made a coat of many colors for Joseph,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who handed it down, mended, to all of Jacob\u2019s grandchildren.<\/span><\/p>\n

One color in this coat of many colors is the Torah,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Whose threads are all the hues of red:<\/span><\/p>\n

From scarlet to magenta to maroon to ruby, \u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>The threads of Torah and its secrets weave.<\/span><\/p>\n

One color in this coat of many colors is Israel,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Whose threads are all the shades of blue:<\/span><\/p>\n

From indigo to azure to aquamarine to sapphire,<\/span>
\n<\/span>The threads of Israel and its mystery weave.<\/span><\/p>\n

One color in this coat of many colors is the soul,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Whose threads are all the tones of yellow:<\/span><\/p>\n

From saffron to gold to lemon to topaz,<\/span>
\n<\/span>The threads of the soul, ascending and descending, weave.<\/span><\/p>\n

The threads intertwine to create purples and oranges and greens,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Fusing soft lavender with dull copper and brilliant emerald.<\/span><\/p>\n

The threads weave stripes that widen and narrow, twist and coil,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Forming a fabric of intricate patterns and complex design:<\/span><\/p>\n

When viewed from the side, these stripes are an abstract painting;<\/span>
\n<\/span>When viewed from above, these stripes are a score of music;<\/span><\/p>\n

When viewed from close-up, these stripes sketch a road-map<\/span>
\n<\/span>For pilgrims seeking a path to the sanctuary.<\/span><\/p>\n

And in merit of this coat of many, many colors,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Which is still as good as new,<\/span><\/p>\n

Our father, Jacob, lives.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":103763,"id":103763,"title":"-624c763624788--624c763624789gen45-coat many
