The Joseph Story
In this video, Rabbi Fohrman analyzes God's message to Jacob - in just two short verses - in which God seems to reaffirm the promise made to Jacob's fathers. Rabbi Fohrman highlights that which God does not say to Jacob, and suggests that there might be literary parallels, once again, to the Binding of Isaac story.
