Miketz – Genesis 41:1 – 44:17

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Hanukkah!

This week we arrive at Parsha Miketz, and an obvious question: Why didn’t Joseph’s brothers recognize him? His clothing disguised his identity, and the brothers were deceived by their own eyes. This thread of clothing and disguise is woven throughout the story of Jacob and his twelve sons.

Find out why the Shema is prayed with covered eyes and why we must listen with our ears and hearts. Join Shmuel for portion Miketz!
