Vayigash – Genesis 44:18-47:27

Shabbat Shalom 

In Parsha Vayigash, Joseph utters a life-changing statement: “It was not you who sent me here, but God.” So many different missions and path crossed to bring young Joseph down to Egypt, raise him up and bring his brother to him. Joseph’s wisdom is a powerful reminder that setbacks, pits and trials will not overcome God’s plan- they are all part of the journey.
