  • Vayeshev 5777 Torah and Football Rabbi Barry Leff This Week's Torah
    Vayeshev 5777 Torah and Football Rabbi Barry Leff This week’s Torah portion, Vayeshev, starts with Joseph having a dream. In that regard, it’s similar to football season, which also starts with a dream. Most teams only dream of having the kind of season Alabama’s having this year. In Joseph’s dream his eleven brothers are gathered around him, bowing down to him. Football is similar – you’ve got eleven brothers bowing down to a coach. In the Torah, of course, it’s God who makes dreams come true. In football, it’s Nick Saban who makes dreams come true. Of course, there are those who have compared Nick Saban to God, and certainly at least here in Alabama, football is right up there as a religion. Judaism is full of arcane rules about how the game of life is played. Football is full of arcane rules about how the sport is played. The rules in both have a great deal of precision. Candle lighting time for Shabbat candles is 18 minutes before sundown. Not just “before sundown.” Not 17 minutes and not 19 minutes. Eighteen minutes. A football field is 53 yards wide. Not 52, not 54, but 53 yards. Football has an offense and a defense. In Judaism too, we have an offense and a defense. The offense is called Satan, the accuser. The defense, your protection, is all the good stuff you’ve done in your life. When you do a mitzvah you create an angel which strengthens your defense. A football game starts with a ceremony: the coin toss, which leads to the kickoff.

  • Parshat Vayetze
    Favorite Son Parshat Vayeshev, Genesis 37:1-40:23 Haftarah: Amos 2:6-3:8 Rabbi Steven Carr Reuben, Ph.D Kehillat Israel Reconstructionist Congregation Past President, Board of Rabbis of Southern California There are moments when I suddenly glimpse the frightened, fragile child beneath the false bravado of an adult who has come to me for counseling, and my heart breaks with their pain and sadness. Indeed, there have been many moments when it seemed that the only response possible was to cry. This past week was one such moment. A young woman named Kelly whom I had never met came to see me at the suggestion of a close friend who is a member of my congregation. She was troubled about something personal having to do with her family, and she wanted to speak with a rabbi. When she came into the room, she seemed hard and tight, controlled and protected. She chose a strait-backed chair to sit in (eschewing the soft and comfortable couch which I had offered), and without introduction began to state her "problem," as if she were a clinician of some kind talking about someone else. The issue at hand was her father’s upcoming sixtieth birthday, and the strong negative feelings she had about flying to Chicago (her home town), showing up at the family gathering and participating in the celebration. At first she only told me that she had a long history of “emotional distance” from her parents, that she and her father had really never gotten along, that she had an important business event she would rather attend, and that she just didn’t feel any desire to be there “pretending” that she cared when she didn’t.

  • Parshat Vaveshev 5770 Lisa Port-White December 12, 2009 I
    Parshat Vayeshev 5770 Parshat Vaveshev 5770 Lisa Port-White December 12, 2009 I began thinking of this Torah portion two years ago, or so, when we decided that this would be the date of my daughter Nellie’s bat mitzvah. The date for her birthday weekend was taken, so we thought, why not pick a cool portion and, heck, get a Hallel service to boot? And the cake possibilities for Vayeshev were just too good to pass up. Until about three months ago, I was thinking of this portion as the mother of the bat mitzvah, not as the giver of the d’var. I had wondered whether she would talk about the famous dreams and coat, or perhaps family discord, the fantasy of selling a sibling into slavery. A few weeks ago I was re-reading the English translation in preparation for the Torah reading, and I was struck by a few things that I hadn’t remembered from my own Sunday school lessons, in verses 12-17: Genesis 37, translation by Everett Fox 12 Now his brothers went to tend their father’s sheep in Shekhem. 13 Yisrael said to Yosef: Are not your brothers tending sheep in Shekhem? Come, I will send you to them! He said to him: Here I am. 14 And he said to him: Come, pray, look into the well-being of your brothers and into the well-being of the sheep, and bring me back word. So he sent him out from the valley of Hevron, and he came to Shekhem. 15 And a man came upon him—here, he was roaming in the field; the man asked him, saying: What do you seek? 16 He said: I seek my brothers, pray tell me where they are tending-sheep.

  • Vayeshev 5777 the Outside and the Inside
    [email protected] 1 Vayeshev 5777 The Outside And The Inside Let me begin with a question. What has the Joseph story to do with Hannukah? And since rabbis, like attorneys, never ask a question without having an answer prepared, let me offer you one version of an answer. Many of you met my sister Judith the musician when she visted last week, and quite a few years ago now, she wrote a song. It’s called ‘Judging the Book by the Cover’ and in the middle she sings: It would be so easy If the outside matched the inside If the words went with the actions If the beautiful were truly good If the surface were a mirror for our hearts… I think about that song a lot when I look at Joseph. Because, really, what are we supposed to do with the narcissistic, egotistical, spoilt young man with whom the story begins? Joseph at the beginning of the story is, frankly, not nice. This is the young man who tells tales on his brothers, who can’t resist saying – not once, but twice! – that he has dreams of his whole family bowing down to him. I have always felt that his brothers had some justification for being mad. But let’s take a closer look at him. There’s a tension between the outside Joseph and the inside Joseph. At the start of the story, Joseph has a gorgeous outside – the multicolored coat – but he’s entirely dominated by his inside. How else do we explain his total lack of tact and derekh eretz - basic courtesy? He has no editing mechanism, he can’t empathize with how others might feel.
