Message 11-27-10 VaYeshev-And He Settled Bereisheet (Genesis) 37:1-40:23 Amos 2:6-3:8 Introduction The story of Tamar and Judah seems out of place in the narrative of Joseph and his brothers. It comes immediately after the sale of Joseph to a passing caravan, is superficially a mystery to the reader. Seen purely from the standpoint of narrative structure, it is nothing more than an attempt to extend the suspense surrounding Joseph’s predicament, a cliff-hanger. But there are strong thematic links as well. The connection between our Torah and Haftarah portions is slightly more oblique than most. Except for a passage that angrily proclaims, “Father and son go to the same girl and thereby profane My holy name,” clearly an allusion to Judah and Tamar, there doesn’t appear to be a specific reference to the story of Joseph and his brothers. But in his denunciation of the exploitation of the poor by his contemporaries and their relentless avarice, Amos clearly offers a parallel to the chilling decision by the brothers to sell their sibling into slavery.   Shalom Chaverim!
