Arno's Commentary
Israel’s intellectual might is well-known, but being named in the top 50 universities in the world that produce entrepreneurs, is surprising. One must consider that this is a relatively new country, mostly surrounded by enemies who have declared their intent to destroy the Jewish State—but to this day have been unsuccessful.
Right in the beginning in Genesis 50, when Joseph made himself known to his brethren who sold him into slavery, he had this to say: “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive” (verse 20).
