13a. ViDovid Avdi 5732 (Mugga) Class One. This (first of three) class includes the beginning and the end of the Ma’amar. The question is the same (as it is in Vayigash 5736, 5625) how is Yehuda superior even before Moshaich comes. In this Ma’amar he proves it from (the Haftora, and more elaborately from) the Torah Ohr, that speaks of the advantage of דומם (“the silent” which is an allusion to the mineral class), that is consistent with the advantage of Yehuda. The answer is predicated on the idea that all Yidden are one and therefore Yosef actually has within himself the advantage of Yehuda, it just takes Yehuda to reveal it by saying “כי כמוך כפרעה” that A. inspires Yosef to be mashpia to Yehuda, B. it articulates that Yosef also has the quality of Bittul in his hashpa’a and as such reaches Etzem HaKesser, even now.
