Soloveitchik (the Rav), one of the leading Rabbinic luminaries of the twentieth century, was known for his genius in lomdut (Talmudic/halakhic analysis), drush (homiletics) and philosophy. All three aspects of his thought are reflected in his approach to Chumash. However, until recently, gaining a complete perspective on the Rav's approach to Chumash required one to sift through dozens of books, hundreds of hours of lectures, and thousands of pages of notes. Now, for the first time, the Rav's teachings have been collected and organized in the form of a running commentary to the Torah and the Haftarot, accompanied by Rashi and Onkelos. This commentary, edited by Arnie Lustiger (the brother of Paul Lustiger), makes the Rav's teachings more accessible. Students of the Rav will welcome this monumental work with the same enthusiasm with which they have embraced the Mesoras HaRav machzorim. For a limited time only, Chumash Mesoras HaRav will be available at the discounted price of $29.95, with checks made out to Beth Aaron. Copies are available from the Beth Aaron office or by contacting Paul Lustiger, [email protected]. LOST AND FOUND Tortoise shell reading glasses Small silver necklace with heart-shaped chain Silver earring To claim these items, please contact the office, [email protected], 201-836-6210. https://ui.constantcontact.com/visualeditor/visual_editor_preview.jsp?agent.uid=1115591014898&format=html&print=true 3/8 11/8/13 Shabbat Shalom from Congregation Beth Aaron PAYMENTS TO BETH AARON In order to properly post payments made by check to Congregation Beth Aaron, please be sure to include a note or directions on the memo line of all checks that clearly indicates how the funds should be applied (i.e., membership, building fund, aliyah, yahrtzeit donation, etc.).

Rashi explains that after One of the reasons given for the mitzvah of seeing that his brothers were taken aback after he had "milah" is that it minimizes the desire for physical identified himself, Yosef asked them to come closer so relations. Adultery (and other forbidden relations) are that he could show them that he was circumcised. One included in the 7 categories of commandments that of the questions many of the commentators ask is what non-Jews are required to keep, and the Egyptians were purpose showing that he was circumcised would serve, said to be "awash in licentiousness" (see Rashi on since (as Rashi pointed out on 41:55) Yosef had forced 20:15).

  • Parshat Vayigash January 7, 2017 Rabbi Vernon Kurtz
    PARSHAT VAYIGASH JANUARY 7, 2017 RABBI VERNON KURTZ The custom to complete the weekly public readings of the Torah every year on the holiday of Simchat Torah finds its roots in Babylonia of the Talmudic Era. The Torah was divided into 54 sections or Parshiyot to allow for the completion of the yearly cycle with the reading of one Parshah every week. This week’s Torah portion, Vayigash, follows the story immediately told in last week’s Miketz. But, the Rabbis seem to be enamored with the old-time serial movies or the modern-day soap operas by leaving us last week with a cliff-hanger of a story and asking us to wait a week to complete it. Last week, towards the end of our Torah reading, the divining cup of the Viceroy of Egypt, Joseph, is found in the food sack of Benjamin. We know that it was a set-up by Joseph as he had instructed his servants to bring Benjamin back to Egypt and send the other brothers on their way to Canaan. The brothers refuse to leave the side of their young brother and are all brought back to stand before Joseph. At that point, the Torah reading last week ends and we are left on the edge of our seats to find out what happened. If this was a mystery novel many of us would not put it down until we knew what had occurred or we would look at the end of the book to find out what happened. Rabbi Zev Leff asks: “Why did the previous Parshah have to end with such a cliff- hanger? Why didn’t the Torah simply extend Parshat Miketz a few more verses and include the resolution of this story? Why do we have to wait a whole week

  • Parshat Hashavua Yeshivat Har Etzion PARASHAT HASHAVUA
    Parshat HaShavua Yeshivat Har Etzion PARASHAT HASHAVUA PARASHAT VAYIGASH By Rav Yaakov Meidan These are the Names of the Children of Israel – Names and Numbers Our parasha contains the list of the seventy members of Yaakov's house who came to Egypt. The list is rife with difficulties. I) Chetzron and Chamul These two sons of Peretz son of Yehuda are mentioned among those who descended to Egypt during the years of famine. The commentaries have already raised the difficulties concerning the closeness of events in Yehuda's life, which take place during the twenty two years that elapse between the sale of Yosef and the descent of Yaakov's family to Egypt. It will be recalled that Joseph was seventeen at the time that he was sold, thirty at the time of his appointment as viceroy, and that a further seven years of plenty and two years of famine passed before the descent to Egypt. During the course of those twenty-two years, Yehuda married the daughter of Shua, and begat Er and Onan. These two sons consecutively married Tamar and then died. 'Many days passed' before Tamar was deemed able to marry Shela. In the meantime, Yehuda married Tamar and begat Peretz. Peretz himself grew up, married, and begat Chetzron and Chamul who were among those who descended to Egypt. In other words, during the course of twenty two years, three generations were born to Yehuda and came of age, not to mention the 'many days' that Tamar waited in vain for the levirate marriage to take place.

  • VAYIGASH (And He Approached)
    VAYIGASH (And He Approached) GENESIS (B‟RESHIYT 44:18 – 47:27) INTRODUCTION: 1. Despite the fact that Judah‟s history is checkered with unwise decisions, he acts admirably. a. Consider his choice of wife; his dealings with Tamar; his betrayal of Joseph. b. He made himself surety for Benjamin and acts appropriately when needed. 2. As far as he was concerned, to act in such a way was putting his life on the line. a. He still understands this man to be an Egyptian lord with life and death in his hand. b. Offers himself as a slave not knowing the one he spoke to was his lost brother. c. To offer himself as a slave in Benjamin‟s place reminds of Moses who said: “Alas, this people has sinned a great sin. They have made for themselves gods of gold. But now, if you will forgive their sin - but if not, please blot me out of your book that you have written.” – Exodus 32:31-32 3. In both cases, the picture is the one is willing to sacrifice themselves on behalf of Israel. a. Reminiscent of something Paul, from tribe of Benjamin (Rom. 11:1), said: “I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Messiah for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh.” – Romans 9:2-3 4. Ultimate example of the one who willingly sacrifices himself for the sake of brother is Y‟shua. a. As tribe of Judah, He made Himself surety to the Father for all Israel (e.g.

  • Parshat Vayigash 5771 by Guy Izhak Austrian December 11, 2010
    Parshat Vayigash 5771 By Guy Izhak Austrian December 11, 2010 This week, we are pleased to welcome guest writer, Dvar Tzedek alumnus Guy Austrian. Rock by rock, stone by stone, each one passed hand to hand along a human chain of young Jews and indigenous Guatemalans: our energy was high on this beautiful day during our AJWS delegation to rural Guatemala. We cleared a riverbed beneath shady leaves near the local school and later sat side by side, resting on the grassy banks and contemplating the footbridge we would soon build there together. I chatted with a young woman who worked at the school, trying out my rusty Spanish. She was curious about our group, and I did my best to explain who we were. I was feeling good about the human common ground we were establishing through our work together, until she demanded: “So why don’t the Jews believe in Jesus?” Suddenly I felt all our commonality hit a wall, one that would always divide us. This irreducible core of identity that separates us from the other peoples of the world gets its fateful start in Parshat Vayigash, in which the Jewish people become a collective entity for the first time: “The total people of the household of Jacob who came to Egypt numbered seventy.”1 Just seventy people—and right away they are set apart for special treatment. While Joseph is busy appropriating the livestock, land and labor of the starving Egyptians, he provides choice land and bread to the House of Israel, which becomes a numerous and prosperous people in Goshen.2 Later, the Egyptians will subject Israel to suspicion, oppression and slavery—one of the founding paradigms of Jewish nationhood.

  • Vayigash Today's Parsha, Vayigash (Va-Ye-Gash)
    Vayigash Today’s parsha, Vayigash (Va-ye-gash), tells the dramatic story of Joseph’s reunion with his brothers. Many scholars believe it portrays the most emotional scene in all of Torah. On the surface, it’s a story of family reunion and the ever recurring theme of Jewish survival, but there is much below the surface. Events which take place in Vayagash impact Judaism from ancient days through the future Messianic Era. It will take a melding of history, religion and psychology to appreciate this parsha. So with the help of many excellent commentaries with titles that include Can Love Overcome Resentment, The Day Forgiveness Was Born, Path to Repentance, Judah’s Chutzpah and Love Among Brothers, I will try to provide some parsha enlightenment and a few messages for our day. Vayagash” the first word in today’s reading translates as “And he went up”. It refers to Judah’s physical approach toward Joseph (who the brothers still believe to be an Egyptian) to plea for Benjamin’s life. Initially Vayigash seems to be Joseph’s story, the 6th parsha in Bereishit in which he stars. But to a great extent it’s just as much the story of Judah, the fourth born of the 12 brothers, whose actions will have the greater impact on the future of our people. It’s noteworthy that the structure of today’s Torah reading is rather odd because it begins at exactly the same place last week’s parsha ended, actually mid-conversation. The silver goblet has been found among Benjamin’s possessions, he has been detained, the brothers have been told to return to their father without him, and they are pleading for his release.
