Vayehi - 2025

Chevre, this week’s parsha is Vayehi (וַיְחִ֤י). This is the final parsha of Sefer Beresheit (Genesis) and we can really feel things coming to a conclusion. Yaakov blesses Menashe and Efraim and then gives blessings to all of his sons one by one. Yaakov dies and is buried in Hevron. There is a funeral procession from Egypt to Hevron and then everyone goes back to Egypt. The brothers are worried that Yosef was waiting for his father to die before taking retribution against them for selling him into slavery, but there is no retribution.
