--- Quote from: muman613 on December 12, 2013, 01:51:01 AM ---Shalom JTF Readers,
This week has been going very fast for me, I've been up to my eyeballs with work and stress related to two projects requiring my support (both of which are high priority). We are bringing up a new chip (in silicon) at our office, while simultaneously supporting a bring-up of a newer chip design in emulation in Shanghai, China... Needless to say everyone on our team is stressed, and the snapping point is coming soon.
But it is time to forget about work and concentrate on learning the Torah portion of this week. We are reading Parsha Vayechi, the final portion of the book of Bereshit/Genesis. I also cannot believe we are at this portion as I remember from 2010 when I had to go to LA for my final visit with my father before he passed away on Jan 8, 2010. If I remember I was studying the portion of Shemot, the first chapter of the book of 'Exodus'.
It is in this portion that Yaakov passes away, and at the end of the portion Yosef passes away. I always find it interesting that I was called to my fathers bedside to receive his blessings before his passing at the same time in the Torah cycle that Yosef blessed his sons. I recall my father saying that he had dreams that I would be fighting for Israel...
This portion sets up the events which will transpire in the first portion of shemot...
This time I will start with a 'Kahanist' Rabbi, Rabbi Levi Chazan:

I hope everything goes good for you in your life, and remember, we who don't have the opportunity to be busy and stressed are "jealous" of you. We is me anyway.
Also, I said he might be a Kahanist Rabbi, thanks for posting though!

Some longer videos... I can't watch them tonight... Got a busy day tomorrow.. But there is no better way to unwind than to learn Torah. To me, at least, it is a salve for the soul.
Rabbi Shlomo Katz just uploaded his latest talk on our portion.
Rabbi Zacharia Wallerstein, on Yosef HaTzadik...
