Parasha Miketz - Header 2

Parasha Miketz – At the end

After being sold into slavery, Joseph proved to be a faithful and competent servant. However, he faced several trials when he was accused of a crime he did not commit and was imprisoned. Despite this, Joseph demonstrated a unique gift for interpreting dreams. With this ability and with Yehovah’s help, he was appointed governor of Egypt, becoming second after Pharaoh. His story is a testimony to divine provision and God’s ability to transform adverse situations into instruments for good.

The Parashah Miketz leaves us a great teaching, revealing the change of attitude of Joseph’s brothers, especially Judah, who offers to stay as a slave instead of Benjamin, Jacob’s favorite son. This contrasts with what they had done with Joseph, when they sold him into slavery out of jealousy. Now Joseph’s brothers show remorse and repentance, as well as compassion for their father and for their younger brother. These are attitudes and values that we can well develop in our own lives.

Parasha Vayetze ENG 2

Parashah Vayetze – He went out

This parashah narrates significant events, including marriages, births and family tensions, all of which play a crucial role in the development of the history of the people of Israel. The parashah also highlights some spiritual and ethical lessons that emerge from the patriarch Jacob’s experiences, providing a source of reflection on life, faith and connection to Yehovah, God of Israel.

This portion of Scripture teaches us that through faithfulness and dedication, even in difficult situations, it is possible to achieve important goals and objectives. The importance of recognizing God’s presence in our lives and trusting in His plan, even though we may not fully understand the path we are on, becomes evident. Vayetze underscores the idea that faith and perseverance can lead to personal transformation and the realization of a greater purpose in life.
