* Fun with the Parsha: Vayeshev

This parsha, Vayeshev, begins the story of Joseph. Joseph is a dreamer. Normally, we would say, what a great thing to be! Joseph has incredible visions in his head about how the world could be. In a way, Joseph’s dreams tell the future.

However, as a young boy, all of Joseph’s dreams are about how he is better than his brothers. When he tells his brothers about these dreams, they don’t like it very much!

Joseph dreams that he and his brothers each have a pile of wheat: Joseph’s wheat stands up very tall, and his brothers’ wheat piles bow down to his.

Not very nice!

Then, Joseph dreams that the sun, the moon, and eleven stars bow down to him. They are like his father, his mother, and his eleven brothers.
