Vayechi - 2023

Chevre, this week’s parsha is Vayechi (וַיְחִי). We have the final days of Yaakov, his death and burial. He goes to give a bracha to Yosef’s sons, Ephraim and Menashe. On a personal note, my town buried a fallen soldier named Ephraim z”l this week. The war has hit close to home. When Yaakov goes to give the boys his blessing, Yosef places the boys so that Menashe will be on Yaakov’s right side and Ephraim on his left.
