Shabbat Vayigash 5772   Friday 4 Tevet 5772 - Dec. 30, 2011 Dear,    Weekly video   The weekly video was added on Tuesday to our youtube channel. If you are not subscribed yet, I highly recommend doing so. You will get instant updates when new videos are added, and not have to wait for the weekly newsletter to watch Harav Ginsburgh's class.          This week's video is titled, "Our father is still alive." (Click on the link to watch). When Joseph finally reveals himself to his brothers, he asked them, "Is our father still alive?" The sages explain they could not answer because they were frightened by his rebuke. Where is the rebuke in these words? Why is Joseph's rebuke compared to God's rebuke to each and every one of us?

(xliv, 14). Rashi explains "that Yehudah spoke harshly to Yosef. He said to him, if you anger me I will kill you along with your master. Immediately following this talk, "And Yosef could not refrain himself before all those standing before him, and he called: Remove every person from me. And no-one stood with him when Yosef made himself known to his brothers" (xlv, 1).

"I am Yosef" (Genesis 45:3) Tevet 3, 5772/December 29, 2011 The French poet, Arthur Rimbaud, (1854-1891), said the following: "Je est un autre" - "I is an other." This observation, "I is an other," artfully encapsulates the message and moral of our current Torah reading, Vayigash. It is in this Torah reading that Yosef and his brothers nearly come to a confrontation concerning the well-being of the youngest brother, Binyamin. Yosef, of course, knows that he is dealing with his brothers. This was first established in their earlier meeting, "And Yosef saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but he made himself a stranger to them... " (ibid 42:7) As of the opening moments of parashat Vayigash, then, the brothers do not know that they are dealing with Yosef. They do not yet recognize him, but they have long recognized the fact that they did a terrible deed when they sold their brother into slavery.
