Description

Yosef's brothers did not recognize him with a beard. The way of the tzaddik is to change from day to day. The 13 Attributes of Mercy and the 13 ways of learning Torah are connected to the beard. In the powerful light of the Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple), the sins of the Jewish people were magnified. The generations are becoming greater while the world becomes darker, as Jews are now digging deeper to access our inner light. Rebbi Shimon Bar Yochai's light came after the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash through working on himself. On Shabbos, a Jew looks different than during the six days of the week. We should recognize ourselves and other Jews the way Hashem does.
