Sfas Emes YESHIVAT HAR ETZION He Parsha Begins: "Vayigash Eilav Yehuda"
Vayigash 5765 Volume XII Number 14 Toras Aish Thoughts From Across the Torah Spectrum which would not apply to those who didn't live and own RABBI DOV KRAMER land in Egypt), it would be consistent with the notion that Taking a Closer Look Yosef was trying to help others do the right thing. And we would expect that, put in a position of power and nd Yosef said to his brothers, 'please come authority, Yosef would make every effort to reshape closer to me,' and they came closer, and he Egyptian society, and those living in it, to better follow “Asaid, 'I am Yosef your brother, whom you sold G-d's commandments. to Egypt" (Beraishis 45:4). 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). The Yefas To'ar therefore suggests that the all of the Egyptians to become circumcised before he Egyptians weren't required (by Yosef) to physically was would sell them food.

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 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

Parshah Miketz – D'var Torah by Joel M. Bernstein December 28Th 2019
Parshah Miketz – d’var Torah by Joel M. Bernstein December 28th 2019 … for … this week’s Parshah, Miketz, a continuation of the story of Joseph and his brothers… I have reviewed the following scholarly material. UNDERSTANDING GENESIS, a thorough review by one of the most brilliant experts on this part of Torah, Nahum Sarna; TORAH TODAY, a renewed encounter with scripture by Pinchas Peli; review of multiple commentaries from faculty of the Jewish Theological Seminary; Professor Robert Alter, and of course, my favorite source, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. The titles of my D’var Torah are Remaining Jewish and Appearance and Reality. Except for Chapter 38 of Genesis which is to me a most important chapter demonstrating the process of the beginning of repentance of Judah and his affair with his daughter in law Tamar, the story of Joseph and his brothers from Chapters 37 to 50 is a profound analysis of how a son of Jacob, who literally becomes Egyptian because of his God-given gift of interpreting the dreams of Pharaoh, maintains his identity as a Jew. This idea is as important today as we see assimilation of Jews into secular cultures, intermarriage where the children do not maintain their contact with Judaism, and 3000 years of maintaining Jewish existence as we celebrate the defeat of the Greek-Syrians by the Maccabees slightly over 2000 thousand years ago and today celebrate the Holiday of Chanukah. As the Book of Genesis approaches its conclusion, we realize the significance of names and naming—especially at the heart of the Joseph story.

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.

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.

Parashat Miketz: When Reality Invites You to Play Rabbi Elisha Wolfin
Parashat Miketz: When Reality Invites You to Play Rabbi Elisha Wolfin Dear Friends, Years have passed since Yoseph was thrown into jail. He is a leader of prisoners, he is an interpreter of dreams, but he is certain that the world has forgotten about him. If nothing changes, he will rot there for the rest of his life. And then Pharaoh dreams his two famous dreams, and everything changes. History is about to unfold! Pharaoh is bewildered by his dreams and none of his sorcerers and magicians are able to comfort him. Finally the chief baker, who had previously been imprisoned with Yoseph, and had witnessed Yoseph’s dream interpretation first- hand, remembers him. Yoseph's life is about to change completely. From a prisoner wrongly accused, he becomes Pharaoh's second-in-command. He will marry and have two children, and in nine years (still in Parashat Miketz) he will be reunited with his brothers, who will bow down to him exactly as he had dreamed so many years previously. It is very surprising to me that Pharaoh and his sorcerers are unable to interpret Pharaoh's dreams. The dreams are simple enough and the sorcerers are indeed very skilled (they will one day prove that they too can turn a staff into a serpent!). As a child, I loved daydreaming. These dreams were a source of sanity and hope when reality around me was less pleasant. Years have passed and I no longer daydream. I don't have time for it. I am too busy with concrete reality.

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.
