Rabbi Marc’s A Dash of Drash – Encounter – Episode 83

Rabbi Marc Soloway December 13, 2018 Jewish Life Comments Off on Rabbi Marc’s A Dash of Drash – Encounter – Episode 83

Encounter is Episode 83 of A Dash of Drash

And Judah approached Joseph – vayifgash alav. These are the opening words of Parshat Vayigash (Genesis 44:18-47:27) The words describe a profound encounter between two brothers that leads to a breaking of a mask and a reconciliation, but it is not just about the intensity of that moment, but about any deep and authentic encounter that we have in our lives.
