Torah Portion of the Week

Vayigash ויגש

Genesis 44:18–47:27

Parshat Vayigash contains one of the Torah's most dramatic moments — Judah's impassioned plea before Joseph, followed by Joseph's tearful revelation to his brothers. Jacob learns that Joseph is alive, and the entire family of seventy souls descends to Egypt, settling in the land of Goshen under Pharaoh's protection.
