Parashat Vayechi 5785 / פָּרָשַׁת וַיְחִי
11 January 2025 / 11 Tevet 5785
Parashat Vayechi is the 12th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading.
Torah Portion: Genesis 47:28-50:26
Vayechi (“He Lived”) is the final Torah portion in the Book of Genesis. It opens as Jacob prepares for his death, making his son Joseph swear to bury him in the Cave of Machpelah. Jacob blesses Joseph’s two sons and his own 12 sons and then dies. Jacob’s sons bury him. The portion ends with Joseph’s death. [1]

January 9, as agreed, we will be reading the first chapter of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ Argument for the Sake of Heaven. If you want to get a head start for next week, I attach this chapter as a 12-page PDF file. I think we’ll have a better discussion if we all read it ahead of time.
