One should note that Joseph often cried. In fact there are no less than eight references in the Torah to him doing so. One who has suffered greatly in bad times will cry easily even in good times. The brothers, on the other hand, who had not suffered in their lives, did not even cry when the situation demanded that they should. And as Joseph even cried at the distress of others, he was worthy of attaining his high rank.
-- Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin (1881-1966)


Oh, and I saw Antony and the Johnsons last night at the Keswick. It was mighty perdy.
(Heh, these two look silly together on the same post)
