The story of Yosef and his brothers is one of the first great dramas in recorded history. An innocent familial rivalry that blossomed into heartbreaking jealousy, bitter betrayal and a string of miscalculations that became a tale of repentance, reunion and redemption. Join us as we navigate, unpack and learn from the Torah’s longest story with the guidance of the Talmud, the Midrash and great Jewish mystics.

They were given together because one can not be understood or interpreted without the other.
