The Birth of Joseph the Dreamer

Today, June 13, 2010, is 1 Tammuz 5770 on the Hebrew calendar.

Joseph, the son of the patriarch Jacob, was born in Charan (Mesopotamia) on the 1st of Tammuz of the year 2199 from creation (1562 BCE), the first child of Jacob's most beloved wife, Rachel, born after 7 childless years of marriage. He passed away on the same date 110 years later, in Egypt.

At age 30, he interpreted a pair of mysterious dreams dreamt by Pharaoh, and was appointed viceroy of Egypt to oversee the gathering and storage of grain in preparation for the seven years of famine that Pharaoh's dreams had predicted.

Here is a selection of my own dream interpretations.

Like Joseph, my father's name was Jacob. My father was 47 years old when I was born, so I was the son of his old age.
