Shabbat

Portion Vayechi

Portion Vayechi
 
Death of Jealousy!
 
So in the TelAviv airport I helped a guy find a way to charge his cell phone before flying to Brussels
 
Of course Talking Torah was an ice breaker
Like
 
In short ... we saw the portions of the last few weeks revolving around
 
The brothers jealous of Joseph
 
Jacob overprotective of young man Benjamin
 
Judah overcome with despair
 
So Jacob blesses the family before leaving the world
 
Each according to their personal qualities
 
With the blessing and reliance that in the Future
 
All shortcomings will be resolved!
 
In Vayechi we see in  this weekly portion brotherly solidarity
 
Joseph did accomplish that temporarily
 
But we still need to implement that -
 
in the airports and in the world
 
Watching two sisters play this week AND
 
Meeting people in the airport in Rome AND
 
Making a Minyan there for Kaddish with Jewish people speaking many languuages
 
Going different places
 
I became certain that we can help bring upon the world
 
The many blesings and prophecies of our
Great Fatbers and Mohers
 
Shabbat Shalom
