They Didn't Know

I learned something new in our study of Joseph -- a little gem I had never noticed before -- something that was implied but not said outright.  Here's what our commentary led us to notice: Pharoah was excited to learn that Joseph's brothers had come.  He was happy for Joseph. I had always thought this spoke well of Pharoah and Joseph's relationship.  That the Pharoah would be happy for him.  That Pharoah would want to meet Joseph's family.

  This year, the three Biblical Fall Feasts will all come in September.   As we prepare to celebrate them together, you may be asking “What are these Feasts?”   So let’s take a look at them, starting with the first one, Yom T’Ruah. YOM T’RUAH   - A Day of Blowing (Shofar) – ROSH HASHANAH When : Begins at sundown on 9/6/21 and ends at sundown on 9/7/21.   Tradition has added a 2 nd day for Jews both in Israel and in the diaspora.   This begins at sundown on 9/7/21 and ends at sundown on 9/8/21.
