Dear ,
This week, the weekly Torah reading Vayechi, discusses Jacob's final years. Shortly before his passing, Jacob blesses Joseph's children as well as his own. A massive funeral procession escorts Jacob's body to Canaan. The reading, and the Book of Genesis, concludes with Joseph's death.

Root Source Interviews Avi Lipkin on the eve of the official formation of his Bible Bloc Party, the Gush HaTanakhi on how it will happen that all Jews will return in our lifetimes.
Studio See 29. Besides Jerusalem and Peni-El discussed previously, I would have to say one of my other favorite places in Israel is Beth-El, (Bethel) the House of God. Few places in Israel are so well preserved as this one. Like Peni-El, Beth-El is also famous for a visit by Jacob when he slept and dreamed of a ladder with angels ascending and descending on it. The historical site is just outside the Jewish community of Beit-El, which is
about 10 miles north of Jerusalem.
