This week we are in the Torah portion of Vayechi. Vayechi is the last Torah portion of the book of Genesis and the last story of Joseph. In this week's Torah portion, Jacob, the family's patriarch, dies. Joseph's brothers are worried that Joseph may still hold a grudge for the pain they caused him (like maybe he's still angry about being sold into slavery). So, his brothers go to him, fling themselves before him, and say, "We are prepared to be your slaves." But Joseph says to them, "Have no fear! Although you intended me harm, God intended it for good to bring about the present result—the survival of many people."
Love this note. Needed this today as I prepare to let go of family resentment in 2022!
Thank you
