Maybe you should not have done it, but it was all part of the Ribono shel Olam’s calculations.” The Ramban writes in this week’s parsha HaGezeira Emes v’ha’Charitzus Sheker (loosely translated, what G-d wants to happen is going to happen and all the machinations of human beings is not going to matter a whit). The encounter however triggered a series of unimaginable events: He is thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, separated from his family for 22 years, reuniting with them only after becoming a powerful ruler, the one who saved them during the years of famine. Lesson #3 I saw an interesting observation in the sefer Milchamos Yehudah: Even if the reason why the Ribono shel Olam allowed the brothers 5 to sell Yosef was so that Yosef would go down to Mitzrayim, why did the Ribono shel Olam want Yosef to be put through the test of Potiphar’s wife?

Ramban combines both approaches and in doing so sheds important light on our reality: "To inform us that the decree is true and that industry is naught. It has been said that the mizbeyach being built with a slope as opposed to steps hints to this too; if one puts a ball on a slope (unlike a step), it will not stay in the same position; either it’s pushed up the ramp or rolls down – effort is needed even to jus
