Vayigash - 2018

Chevrah, this week’s parsha is Vayigash. In this week’s parsha it’s mentioned that Yosef receives the news that his father’s health is getting worse. The midrash asks why did they have to tell him? After being away from his family for so long, didn’t Yosef see his father on a regular basis? The midrash answers that Yosef was afraid to spend time alone with his father because he was scared of the question coming up about what happened to him (Yosef).
