This week’s parsha, Miketz (Genesis 41:1-44:17) features the second part of the story of Joseph and his brothers. The parasha begins with Joseph interpreting the Pharaoh’s dream and continues to tell us about Joseph’s rise to power, about the seven years of famine, and about Joseph’s first re-encounter with his brothers who come to Egypt to purchase grain. Our discussion focuses on Joseph’s rise.
