<div>I spent some time looking for commentaries explaining the focus on the donkeys by Yoseif and his brothers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I realize it’s probably projection but I came up with two possibilities.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The first was that many places the donkey seems to be taking somebody to their destiny (Think avraham Moshe bilaam……)I was thinking when they might’ve been concerned that they would be unable to fulfill theirs</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My other thought was that they represented technological extensions Of human ability ( think vcivshuha) And they would be unable to fulfill their human capabilities and be no more than another animal</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Later heard R’ M Taragin mention that R’ Amital elsewhere looked at chamor and saw chomer(material world)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thoughts?</div>
