PARSHAT VAYIGASH - פרשת ויגש
BAT MITZVAH ~ AYA TABAK
SHALOM AND WELCOME … to Jerusalem's premier egalitarian Masorti (Conservative) synagogue. Beit Knesset Moreshet
Yisrael is made up of English speaking olim and native Israelis. Locals and tourists attend our shul on
weekdays, shabbatot, and chagim. Our worldwide Friends Of Moreshet network gives the opportunity
for Jews in all countries to have membership in a captivating Israeli Beit Knesset.
Conservative Judaism is intended to be the nexus between Jewish tradition and the modern world…
Beit Knesset Moreshet Yisrael is that meeting place.
PARSHAT VAYIGASH - פרשת ויגש התודע יוסף אל אחיוולא יכל יוסף להתאפק לכל הנצבים עליו ויקרא הוציאו כל איש מעלי ולא עמד איש אתו ב : – And
Joseph could no longer restrain himself before all of his attendants and he called out “All leave me!”,
so there was no one else present when he made himself known to his brothers. (Genesis 45:1) Rashi
comments here that Joseph could not tolerate his Egyptian attendants witnessing the shame of his
brothers when he reveals himself to them, so he sends them away. But a more sensible explanation for
Joseph’s actions would be that he sends away his attendants because he does not want them to witness
his crying, lest he disgrace himself as Viceroy among the Egyptian kingdom. However, from where
does Rashi learn otherwise? The very next verse reads: עו מצרים וישמע בית ויתן את קלו בבכי וישמ
And he gave aloud his cries and all of Egypt and the House of Pharoh heard. Obviously, Joseph :פרעה
felt no fear of knowledge of his crying, so it is equally obvious that his concern was for his brother's
honor. Rabbi Adam Frank
