<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kedushas Levi says:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; FONT-STYLE: normal" align=left><B>And Yosef's
master took him and placed him in jail. . .And he remained there in
prison. (39:20)</B><BR></P>
<P style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; FONT-STYLE: normal"
align=left>This is seemingly superfluous. It seems to me that when the Holy One
sends someone an incident that is heaven forbidden, not good or not
positive, then he should desist from any physical reaction and rather he should
simply trust and have faith in Hashem, and surely it will be transformed into
something good and positive. This was the attribute practiced by Nachum Ish
Gamzu who would always say Gam Zu LeTovah This too is for the best, (Taanis
21a). This is what is hinted to by the verse he remained there in prison, even
though he could have done something about it so that he would not have remained
there in prison, he did not act, he trusted in Hashem that surely everything
would be for the best.</P></FONT></DIV>
