Parashat Vayechi
The Gift of Teshuvah!
Genesis: A Book of Fraternal Feuds!
Israel Reunited in Egypt but Trapped in Exile!
We conclude the book of Genesis this week with the reading of Vayechi, which describes the final words of Yaakov before he dies and is buried in the Machpelah Cave in Israel. His children have at last reconciled and reunited, but at what a price, as the first chill of their approaching enslavement can already be felt.
