Last week we examined the parsha and how Yaakov Avinu is the archetype of emunah. In our discussion, a difficulty was raised regarding Yaakov. When Yaakov encounters Paro, Paro asks about his age. Yaakov tells him the years of his life were few and difficult. The simple reading of the text leads us to the…
Let’s explore the idea of suffering and what the parsha can teach us on it.
Let’s chat about the parsha, emunah, and tefillah.
When discussing Emunah, Tefillah, and the Parsha, really this week is one of the best times to do it. In the sidra, Vayechi, we see the shevatim are given their brachos from Yaakov Avinu. Every Friday night a father recalls the brachos given to Menashe and Efraim. There’s so much here to cover.
