Dear ,

Weekly Portion:
Vayigash – December 23 – 5 Tevet
 
In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Vayigash Genesis 44:18 – 47:27, Judah approaches Joseph to plead for the release of Benjamin, offering himself as a slave to the Egyptian ruler in Benjamin’s stead. Upon witnessing his brothers’ loyalty to one another, Joseph reveals his identity to them. “I am Joseph,” he declares. “Is my father still alive?”

In this week’s Haftara Prophets reading Ezekiel 37:15 – 37:28, mentions the fusion of the kingdoms of Judah and Joseph during the Messianic Era, echoing the beginning of this week’s Torah reading: “And Judah approached him [Joseph].”

Happy studying!

Guest Blog: D.C. David’s Capital
 
The following piece was sent to us by Sharon L. Hogeda, regarding the recent declaration on Jerusalem by President Trump, and we asked her permission to publish it.

“D.C. David’s Capital”

Pres. Trump recognizes reality, courageously declares Jerusalem Israel’s capital 12/06/2017. Trump declares “new approach to conflict between Israel and Palestinians.” That takes guts!

“We have enemies? Good. It means we’ve stood up for something,
sometime in our life.” (Churchill)

The enemy calls for “3 days of rage.”
To enemy, we say, GET LITERATE!:
 
Hi, My Name is Cornelius, the First Gentile Believer!
 
Bob O’Dell retells the story of the first Gentile Christian, Cornelius. While this talk is consistent with the text of Acts, Bob reasons from the text to fill in a few of the details to bring the story alive.

Then Bob reveals his own opinions about the story, and what we can learn from it today. He also reveals something new — that Cornelius might actually be a direct descendant of Esau.


This presentation was given at the 2017 Feast of Tabernacle Conference in Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives, put on by Peter and Christine Darg. We thank them for allowing us to post this video.
