Speaker 1: Previously on the chosen people.
Speaker 2: He attacked me. This Hebrew slave lured me into sleep
Speaker 2: with me, but I screamed quick.
Speaker 3: He went that way.
Speaker 4: So this is how you repay my kindness.
Speaker 5: You are my master and my friend. Have I not
Speaker 5: earned your trust by now?
Speaker 3: I tell you I've done nothing wrong.
Speaker 5: It's a lie.
Speaker 3: Please, you must believe me.
Speaker 4: You will rot in prison for the rest of your
Speaker 4: Day's Hebrew take him away.
Speaker 1: In an instant, Joseph was taken up by the guards
Speaker 1: and thrown into the royal prison, where Pharaoh's prisoners were confide.
Speaker 4: I am your warden. You are my prisoner.
Speaker 6: You are nothing but the prisoner. Are we cleare.
Speaker 5: Fever?
Speaker 3: Would shall be favor as towards did.
Speaker 1: The other prisoners began to rely on Joseph to speak
Speaker 1: with the warden on their behalf. At night, underneath the moonlight,
Speaker 1: the prisoners would gather around Joseph to listen to his
Speaker 1: stories about the God of his ancestors.
Speaker 6: Joseph, I am putting you in charge of these men.
Speaker 6: I have other prisons in the city that I must
Speaker 6: get in too, so I leave these only your care.
Speaker 6: The warden slid two items across the desk, keys to
Speaker 6: the cells, and a whip with iron tipped phrase. Joseph
Speaker 6: took the keys, bowing his head in acknowledgment, but left
Speaker 6: the whip behind. As he returned to his cell, a
Speaker 6: sense of purpose welled within him. He might be a prisoner,
Speaker 6: but here in this dark place.
Speaker 1: He would shine a light.
Speaker 2: In the dead of night. Even in the depths of
Speaker 2: a prison, dreams with secrets only the.
Speaker 3: Chosen can decipher.
Speaker 2: Sdoh, my friends, from here in the Holy Land, I'm
Speaker 2: y l Extein with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
Speaker 2: and welcome to the Chosen people. What does it mean
Speaker 2: to dream? Images and visions dance through our minds? Often
Speaker 2: elusive and enigmatic? Are these dreams just whispers from our
Speaker 2: subconscious or they divine messages waiting for an interpreter. Now
Speaker 2: imagine a prison, not just any prison, but a place
Speaker 2: where the innocent are confined alongside the guilty. Yet even
Speaker 2: here in the shadowy corners, dreams stir and seek meaning. Joseph,
Speaker 2: the dreamer who once saw the stars and the sheaves,
Speaker 2: becomes Joseph the interpreter mysteries. It's a transformation. This story
Speaker 2: inspired by Genesis forty invites us to stopping consider I
Speaker 2: break through the darkest cells of our lives. Does God
Speaker 2: speak in dreams even when our waking world falls apart?
Speaker 2: And perhaps most crucially, do we have the courage to
Speaker 2: believe in His plan when all else seems lost?
Speaker 1: Two years past, Joseph, now twenty seven years old, had
Speaker 1: solidified himself as the benevolent leader over the other prisoners.
Speaker 1: His willingness to serve them and listen to their needs
Speaker 1: engendered loyalty from them. He created a system for sharing
Speaker 1: cells based on the background of the prisoners. He was
Speaker 1: able to rush food well enough so they could enjoy
Speaker 1: three meals a day. He would also care for the
Speaker 1: sick himself and use the warden's office as an infirmary
Speaker 1: for people who were sick. Even the guards were loyal
Speaker 1: to Joseph and did all that he asked of them.
Speaker 1: Joseph was often reminded of how his brothers would tend
Speaker 1: to the flocks. The sheep needed to know they were
Speaker 1: cared for. If they felt safe, secure, and loved, they listened.
Speaker 1: Her bitter, sweet smile curled on Joseph's lips as he
Speaker 1: recalled home. Not all memories of his brothers were tainted.
Speaker 1: There had been moments of bliss, pockets of what could
Speaker 1: have been before the coat and before the pit. Pleasant memories, however,
Speaker 1: quickly gave way to Judah's glaring face. Joseph shook himself
Speaker 1: free of the past and returned to the task at hand.
Speaker 1: It was late, and Joseph moved among the prisoners like
Speaker 1: a shepherd among his flock, offering words of comfort and
Speaker 1: acts of kindness. With each passing moment he deepened his
Speaker 1: understanding of God's heart. He handed a blanket to an
Speaker 1: older prisoner, his eyes warm with compassion.
Speaker 3: God, bless you beg.
Speaker 7: I heard you shivering last night and brought you another blanket.
Speaker 8: There, old blanket's despair.
Speaker 4: Where is this one come from?
Speaker 5: Just take it, old man.
Speaker 7: Your teeth chattering kept me up all night.
Speaker 8: Oh, oh, a warm heart, young Joseph, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Joseph wrapped the blanket around the old man and helped
Speaker 1: him lie on the wooden cot. He scanned the room
Speaker 1: once more, ensuring all was in order, before returning to
Speaker 1: his small, damp corner. He leaned his back against the
Speaker 1: jagged stone, no longer feeling its sharpness, His scars had
Speaker 1: left his body calloused near numb. Joseph would often lie
Speaker 1: awake at night, watching the moonbeams trickle through the ceiling.
Speaker 1: In those silent moments, he prayed, considering God's goodness, his
Speaker 1: favor upon him, and dreaming of the future. He chuckled
Speaker 1: to himself, realizing that this pit had become his palace.
Speaker 1: Joseph awoke to the shout. It was coming from the
Speaker 1: entrance of the prison. It was a familiar sound. Most
Speaker 1: men who came through the doors claimed innocence. Joseph had
Speaker 1: learned to treat all men the same, for Pharaoh's word
Speaker 1: was final. He rose, stretching his aching muscles. Pain was
Speaker 1: a constant companion in the prison, and Joseph had learned
Speaker 1: to coexist with it. Joseph was released from the communal
Speaker 1: cell to greet the new inmates. The palace guards had
Speaker 1: dragged two men in what were your crimes? Joseph had
Speaker 1: learned not to be too friendly. Immediately he would be
Speaker 1: perceived as weak and malleable. However, every prisoner would soon
Speaker 1: learn about Joseph's compassion and kindness. Nothing Joseph looked down
Speaker 1: at him. He was a portly man, balding and read
Speaker 1: with rage.
Speaker 4: I am faras royal baker, responsible for all the bake
Speaker 4: goods within the palace. Pharaoh's men got sick after the banquet,
Speaker 4: and he accused us of poisoning them.
Speaker 7: And what about you?
Speaker 1: Joseph turned to the slender, slight man beside him, whose
Speaker 1: mouse like face wore a frightened stare.
Speaker 3: I am, who was a Pharaoh's cup bearer. I was
Speaker 3: also held responsible for the incident, although I would never
Speaker 3: do anything to harm in the morning star. My family
Speaker 3: has served the great pharaohs for five generations.
Speaker 7: Every man here claims innocence, but we're here and live
Speaker 7: as guilty men. Nonetheless, I please, and petitions mean nothing.
Speaker 7: What matters is how you live out your days here. Contribute,
Speaker 7: don't cause harm to others, and live peaceably with the gods.
Speaker 7: If you do these things, you regain a sliver of joy. Understood.
Speaker 3: Huh, yes, sir, The guards will take you to our
Speaker 3: common area.
Speaker 1: As the men walked off, the palace, guard gave Joseph
Speaker 1: the details on both of them.
Speaker 3: The tall and quiet one is Pharaoh's cupbearer. He was
Speaker 3: a trusted confidante of Pharaoh.
Speaker 4: Until the feast.
Speaker 8: It's not clear what his motive.
Speaker 5: Would be to pause anyone.
Speaker 3: The loud and short one is the palace blaker.
Speaker 4: Many of the men believed that.
Speaker 1: He really did poison the food. Joseph nodded and noted them. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: he gave them both tasks to do within the prison.
Speaker 1: That night, Joseph knelt below the moonlight and prayed for
Speaker 1: continual favor. He prayed for patience, endurance, and strength. Despite
Speaker 1: his success in prison, the toll on his mind and
Speaker 1: soul was heavy. Fights broke out often, and caring for
Speaker 1: the sick was burdensome. Yet God's strength was upon him,
Speaker 1: preparing him for something greater, refining him in the depths
Speaker 1: of this dark grave. The skies shifted and the night
Speaker 1: drew on. Joseph heard a stirring in the back of
Speaker 1: the cell. The baker was tossing and turning, yelling in
Speaker 1: his sleep a nightmare. Joseph approached and knelt beside him,
Speaker 1: placing a hand on his shoulder and singing a lulla
Speaker 1: by his mother once sang to him. The melody echoed
Speaker 1: off the prison wars, a soothing balm. The baker calmed,
Speaker 1: opening his eyes with a gruff sigh.
Speaker 5: That's better.
Speaker 4: What a h you a warden or some sort of
Speaker 4: prison your.
Speaker 3: Nick ah neither.
Speaker 7: I'm a fellow prisoner, but I oversee the prison for the.
Speaker 4: Warden hough a king of wretches and wrats.
Speaker 7: Yes, I suppose you're right.
Speaker 4: What were you before all of this?
Speaker 5: Many things?
Speaker 7: A favorite son, a slave, a keeper of Partipher's house.
Speaker 7: Now well, here I am ruling this kingdom of stone
Speaker 7: and mass.
Speaker 4: Many lives. What someone saw you?
Speaker 5: It certainly feels that way.
Speaker 1: The baker rolled over and groaned. His large body weighed
Speaker 1: heavily down on the jagged stone beneath him. He winced
Speaker 1: with every move, then grumpily sighed.
Speaker 4: Good good night. I hate your majesty.
Speaker 1: The next morning, Joseph overheard the baker and the cupbearer
Speaker 1: exchanging dreams over their meal. Joseph had done his best
Speaker 1: to avoid such babbling, since the last time he spoke
Speaker 1: of his dreams it got him sold into slavery. However,
Speaker 1: he could not quite shake a feeling of longing to engage.
Speaker 1: Joseph pretended not to listen and poured water into a basin.
Speaker 1: He heard the baker recount his nightmare.
Speaker 4: It was horrifying and painful. I can still see it
Speaker 4: in my mind's eye, in the baskets, all of you.
Speaker 3: It all sounded dreadful. I never thought I would sleep
Speaker 3: in this place, but then I had the most magnificent dream.
Speaker 3: I can't get it out of my head.
Speaker 1: Joseph felt a tug on his heart to approach them.
Speaker 1: Although he said nothing at first, it was clear that
Speaker 1: their dreams, although different, were nagging at them. Each wore
Speaker 1: a long face of agitated confusion. Joseph knew the torture
Speaker 1: that came with a dream. He still woke from his
Speaker 1: sleep suspended in stars or risen above wheat bushels, as
Speaker 1: if compelled by a force other than him.
Speaker 7: Joseph spoke, are you well, Baker, You were tossing all
Speaker 7: night even after we.
Speaker 4: Spoke, Yes, and embarrassing as it was to be sung
Speaker 4: that to sleep like a suckling child. They must admit
Speaker 4: your presence helped. I mean, I had a dreadful nightmare
Speaker 4: and know it's important, but I don't know what it means.
Speaker 3: I also had to dream. It's been nagging me all morning.
Speaker 5: Tell me your dreams.
Speaker 7: Perhaps I can interpret it for you.
Speaker 4: Ha, So now you are a sorcerer and master of divination.
Speaker 4: And tell me, your majesty, what haven't you've done in
Speaker 4: your humorously short life.
Speaker 7: No, no, however, I have lived long enough to meet
Speaker 7: the God of my forefathers.
Speaker 1: All dreams belong to him. Perhaps he will interpret for you.
Speaker 1: The cupbearer cleared his throat. He began his tail, stammering
Speaker 1: at first, but gaining momentum with his words. Joseph was
Speaker 1: stricken by the way he used his hands to add
Speaker 1: to his tail.
Speaker 3: I was in a desolate place. The ground beneath me
Speaker 3: was cracked and barren, and darkness pressed him from every side.
Speaker 3: But as I walked, something miraculous happened. A vine sprang
Speaker 3: forth out of nowhere. It was green and shimmering and
Speaker 3: vibrant against the earth, alive, hoole sing, moving towards me.
Speaker 3: Three branches grew from the vine. They assis stretched out
Speaker 3: as if reaching for me, wrapping themselves around me like
Speaker 3: a gentle engrace. Their movements were very delicate, almost wolba, weightless,
Speaker 3: like butterflies flitting in the air.
Speaker 9: And then there were ber blossoms, tiny fragile, breath taking blossoms.
Speaker 9: Every bloom gave way to clusters of grapes full and
Speaker 9: ripe and seemed ready to burst, each one heavy with juice,
Speaker 9: shivering like liquid juice in my hand. Suddenly Pharaoh's cup appeared,
Speaker 9: not just any cock cup, but his cup. It felt
Speaker 9: very familiar, like it had always belonged to me, like
Speaker 9: it was a part of me. Without thinking, I reached
Speaker 9: for the grapes, I plucked a cluster.
Speaker 3: And I squeezed, and the juice it came out. It
Speaker 3: just kept coming and coming, filling the chalice, overflowing wine.
Speaker 9: It sparkled with a sort of brilliance I can't even descry.
Speaker 3: And then I saw, I saw him, Pharaoh, seated on
Speaker 3: his throne high above me, and the sun blazed behind
Speaker 3: him like a halo of light. I bowed low, to trembling,
Speaker 3: and I offered him the cup, and he took it
Speaker 3: and he drank it, and then he smiled. There was
Speaker 3: this moment of pure joy, so vivid, so full, and
Speaker 3: then I woke up.
Speaker 1: Joseph's heart came alive in that moment. As the cup
Speaker 1: bearer shared his dream, he could feel the spirit of
Speaker 1: God moving within his heart and mind.
Speaker 7: I can see on your face that you love Pharaoh, Yes, sir,
Speaker 7: here is what your dream means. The three branches of
Speaker 7: the vine represent three days. In three days time, Pharaoh
Speaker 7: will realize that you have been falsely accused.
Speaker 5: He will lift up his head and restore you to
Speaker 5: your position. You will be filling his cup once again.
Speaker 3: What a beautiful sentiment, if only it were to true.
Speaker 1: Joseph placed his hand on the cupbearer's shoulder and looked
Speaker 1: intently into his eyes.
Speaker 5: My friend, these things will come to pass. God has
Speaker 5: declared it. When you're free, I ask, will you please
Speaker 5: remember me, remember what you've seen here and mention it
Speaker 5: to Pharaoh. Recall my kindness towards you, and tell him
Speaker 5: of my gift.
Speaker 3: What have you done to be here? Are you innocent?
Speaker 3: Are you who this is supposed to be here?
Speaker 1: Joseph leaned back and looked up at the sun rays
Speaker 1: peeking through the ceiling.
Speaker 7: I am a Hebrew sold into slavery by my brothers.
Speaker 7: Yet even as a slave I thrived. I'm not here
Speaker 7: for my own sins, but because of the sins of others.
Speaker 7: Although I am in this world, I do not belong
Speaker 7: to this world.
Speaker 3: If what you say is to the true Hebrew, I
Speaker 3: will remember you when I am restored to Pharaoh.
Speaker 1: The baker pushed the farah aside and.
Speaker 4: Laughed, Ah, so you're a bearer of good news. Well,
Speaker 4: then let me tell you my dread, and hopefully you
Speaker 4: will have news of my freedom as well.
Speaker 5: Come on, this is my dream.
Speaker 4: I was on my way to Phero with three baskets
Speaker 4: of bread on my head. It was hot, and the
Speaker 4: wind was even hotter. I made a wonderful cakes, sweet breads,
Speaker 4: and all kinds of big goods. However, the birds swooped
Speaker 4: down upon me. They began pecking at the bread on top.
Speaker 3: Soon an entire flock.
Speaker 4: Was surrounding me. They petted the baskets, my clothes, and
Speaker 4: my eyes. I dropped the baskets and watched the birds
Speaker 4: devour the bread. What does this dream mean?
Speaker 1: Joseph's eyes betrayed his true feelings. He was overwhelmed with
Speaker 1: grief for the baker and unable to speak. The baker
Speaker 1: sent Joseph's clent and became uneasy.
Speaker 4: Do not hold back from me, he What does my
Speaker 4: dream mean?
Speaker 1: Joseph fiddled with a stone in his hand and looked
Speaker 1: up at the baker.
Speaker 7: Three baskets represent three days. Three day should pass you
Speaker 7: two would be taken out of the prison.
Speaker 1: The baker smiled, thinking this was good news. However, Joseph
Speaker 1: continued with a tear streaming down his face, phara, well, punish.
Speaker 5: You for what you've done.
Speaker 1: You separate your head from your body.
Speaker 7: Poppodoor pulled the birds to eat away flesh.
Speaker 1: The baker looked at him silently for a long while, then,
Speaker 1: in an outburst of rage, the baker tackled Joseph to
Speaker 1: the ground and began pumbling in with his fists.
Speaker 4: Your fool, and the nightment sad, a day sad. Take
Speaker 4: it back, Tell them you're lying.
Speaker 1: The other prisoners ran to Joseph and pulled the baker
Speaker 1: off him. He thrashed and tugged away. Joseph looked up
Speaker 1: at him, panting with a bruised and bloody face. The
Speaker 1: Baker's shifted from fury to guilt. Joseph knew the truth,
Speaker 1: as did he. The baker returned to a spiteful stare,
Speaker 1: spat at Joseph, then scalped off. After three days, it
Speaker 1: was Pharaoh's birthday. He held a great banquet for his officials.
Speaker 1: He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and
Speaker 1: the chief baker in the presence of his officials. He
Speaker 1: restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he
Speaker 1: once again put the cup into Pharaoh's hand. However, the
Speaker 1: baker was taken outside the palace. The harbish eastern wind blew,
Speaker 1: and the birds flew in circles above. The baker was
Speaker 1: given to the guards and beheaded, and his head was
Speaker 1: put on a pike as a feast for the birds. However,
Speaker 1: Joseph remained in the prison for years. He waited in
Speaker 1: his stone tomb to rise up. He suffered a great deal,
Speaker 1: but his present sufferings were not comparable to the future
Speaker 1: glory awaiting him.
Speaker 2: Dreams, those ethereal whispers of the night drift in and
Speaker 2: out of Joseph's story. It was a dream that first
Speaker 2: led him into the abyss, the vision of sheaves and
Speaker 2: stars that stirred the envy of his brothers, casting him
Speaker 2: into the depths of betrayal and slavery in the shadowy
Speaker 2: corridors of an Egyptian prison. It seems those dreams had
Speaker 2: turned to dust. But then the dreams that once seemed
Speaker 2: like the cruel catalyst of Joseph's downfall are revealed to
Speaker 2: actually be the blueprint for his ascent to royalty. The
Speaker 2: very gift of interpreting dreams that once brought Joseph to
Speaker 2: the lowest places is exactly what would be what helped
Speaker 2: him rise. But this time the dreams weren't Joseph's own,
Speaker 2: like they were when he told his brothers. No, it
Speaker 2: was Joseph interpreting the dreams of others, the cup bearer,
Speaker 2: the baker, and ultimately Pharaoh himself. In interpreting the dreams
Speaker 2: of others, Joseph begins to see the arc of his
Speaker 2: own life more clearly, the hand of God moving behind
Speaker 2: the scenes, orchestrating events for a purpose beyond his understanding.
Speaker 2: And in Joseph's journey we see the fulfillment of God's
Speaker 2: convenant with our forefathers, a promise that no pit or
Speaker 2: prison can thwart. We are reminded that our struggles are
Speaker 2: not the end, but the beginning of God's greater narrative.
Speaker 2: My Abba, my father, Abbe Riel Eckstein, was an extraordinary man,
Speaker 2: a man whose heart reached out to hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 2: As his daughter, I saw up close the depth of
Speaker 2: his compassion. Whenever we passed a homeless person, on the street,
Speaker 2: he would stop. He would pause, even as the world hurried,
Speaker 2: by offering not just money but his ear. He sought
Speaker 2: to know the person's name, this person's story, this person's pain.
Speaker 2: And in those moments, time after time again, I witnessed transformation.
Speaker 2: Dejection turned to joy, and hearts were lifted by his
Speaker 2: genuine compassion. In today's episode of The Chosen People, we
Speaker 2: see the same spirit in Joseph's story. In that dark prison,
Speaker 2: Joseph noticed the sorrow of his fellow inmates. Why do
Speaker 2: you look so sad today, you would ask them, And
Speaker 2: then he listened. He wasn't so engulfed with his own
Speaker 2: pain and hardships that he didn't have space for anyone else. Rather,
Speaker 2: he used his hardships to be more empathetic towards the
Speaker 2: others who were suffering. He cared, He really cared. We
Speaker 2: often moved through life preoccupied with our own troubles, deaf
Speaker 2: to the silent cries of those around us. But Joseph's
Speaker 2: story teaches us a profound truth to live by. No
Speaker 2: matter our own struggles, we must see and respond to
Speaker 2: the pain of others. Never underestimate the power of a
Speaker 2: simple question, how are you, what's your name?
Speaker 3: What have you been through?
Speaker 2: It can save a life, and as we learn from
Speaker 2: the story of Joseph, it can change the world. Let's
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about the man whose life, Ja
Speaker 2: Joseph saved, Pharaoh's imprisoned cupbearer. Joseph asked the cup bearer
Speaker 2: to please remember him to Pharaoh and help him get
Speaker 2: out of jail. But the very last verse of this
Speaker 2: chapter tells us that this didn't happen. This is what
Speaker 2: it reads. Quote The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph.
Speaker 2: He forgot him. End quote. We've seen this in previous episodes,
Speaker 2: and we'll see it again. The Bible repeating itself for
Speaker 2: a reason. So why did the Bible repeat itself here?
Speaker 2: It says he did not remember Joseph, he forgot him.
Speaker 2: The Bible doesn't include any extra word, So we have
Speaker 2: to ask, why is the Bible telling us this twice?
Speaker 2: If the cup bear didn't remember Joseph, then of course
Speaker 2: he forgot him. Why does the Bible tell us the
Speaker 2: same thing twice. There's a beautiful teaching here from Jewish
Speaker 2: tradition that the Bible verse wishes to remind us that, yes,
Speaker 2: the cup bearer forgot Joseph, but God remembered him. We
Speaker 2: all depend on other people, and sometimes they come through
Speaker 2: for us, and sometimes they don't.
Speaker 8: But even when.
Speaker 2: Others forget us, God always remembers. God is not silent.
Speaker 2: He speaks in dreams, in whispers, in that still small voice.
Speaker 2: And that's what all of us must remember. That everything
Speaker 2: in our lives, even our dreams, our aspirations, our hopes,
Speaker 2: it comes from God. Joseph was a very self confident person,
Speaker 2: a gift that sometimes also proved to be a burden.
Speaker 2: But Joseph somehow tempered his self confidence with his deep
Speaker 2: trust in God. So when the cupbearer and the baker
Speaker 2: asked him to interpret their dreams, Joseph answered immediately quote
Speaker 2: do not interpretations belong to God?
Speaker 8: End quote.
Speaker 2: Joseph didn't claim the talent of dream interpretation as his own. Rather,
Speaker 2: he immediately mentioned God. He realized that his skill, his gift,
Speaker 2: was directly from God, and also it showed that he
Speaker 2: was faithful that God would inspire him to interpret the
Speaker 2: dreams correctly. He was saying, Lord, I can't do this
Speaker 2: on my own. You interpret the dreams and give me
Speaker 2: the words. Isn't it a wonderful aspiration for all of us,
Speaker 2: on the one hand, to have confidence in ourselves, to
Speaker 2: believe we can do anything, that we can rise to greatness,
Speaker 2: but on the other hand, to always remember to turn
Speaker 2: to God for guidance. My abba, my father, Rabbi Riel
Speaker 2: Ekstein of Blessed Memory, was an extraordinary man. He would
Speaker 2: find out what native language the homeless person spoke. My
Speaker 2: father learned a few words in every language, so he
Speaker 2: would be able to connect personally to the homeless people
Speaker 2: and the people in need. I watched as he would
Speaker 2: speak a few words in their language. He would give
Speaker 2: them a big smile. Sometimes he'd give them a hug,
Speaker 2: and in that instant, their dejection turned to joy, and
Speaker 2: their hearts were lifted by my father's genuine love and
Speaker 2: care and compassion. In today's episode of the Chosen People,
Speaker 2: that is the spirit that we see and we learn
Speaker 2: from in Joseph's story. In that dark prison, Joseph noticed
Speaker 2: the sorrow of his fellow inmates. He cared, he spoke
Speaker 2: to them, he offered to help in whatever way he could.
Speaker 2: And just like Joseph, we have to learn not to
Speaker 2: be silent, not to be deaf, to those cries around us.
Speaker 2: We have to remember from Joseph, no matter how hard
Speaker 2: our struggles are, we still have to hold the space
Speaker 2: to see and respond to the pain of others.
