Question

During the Days of Awe, when the Kohanim sing the Priestly Blessing, it is customary to say a prayer that includes: "Just as You gave Joseph, Your righteous one, when his father dressed him in a coat of many colors." This is difficult because it became a curse, as all the strife with his brothers began with the coat, and therefore it seems somewhat contrary to a blessing??

Answer

Shalom Rav

It should be said that the intention is towards the good things that eventually came out of it.
