This parashah, Joseph sees more dreams, but not his. The ruler of the land has two dreams which Joseph is wise enough to both interpret and plan for, long term. His long term plans prevent a major famine, at least in Egypt, and thus also prevent the knock-on health menaces often associated with famines. Need I add that long term planning and access to full health care for everyone is essential?
Last year, we looked at engineering,

While there are many ways to help increasing empathy, Language Learning as a Fourth Tool for Empathy Building is both fascinating and practical.

I found this quote on blogger Sonsnow’s site:
“It can sometimes seem as if one person will not be very effective. However, change in the world always begins with an individual who shares what he or she has learned and passes it on to others.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
I think he is right, and it confirms for me that all what we are doing here to promote empathy, has a result somewhere, even if we don’t see it right away.
