Torah Commentary

At the end of Genesis, the narrative lens widens. After a book shaped by ruptures and reconciliations, Jacob's final act in Parashat Vayechi is not to bless each son in isolation, but to summon them together.

The turning point of Parashat Vayigash is not Joseph's revelation but the interpretation he offers of his own suffering.

Mikeitz leaves us with a demanding invitation: to ask what we might see - in ourselves, in God, in our communities.

The Bible traces Joseph's descent from privilege to captivity. In Parashat Vayeishev, he first appears as a dreamer and a favourite son - confident, even boastful, in his father's love and in his own visions.

Jacob's legacy lives on in our continued struggle for faith, freedom, and renewal.
