1st Aliya: Yehuda confronts Yoseph in the aftermath of the stolen chalice. Yehuda reviews the past events, starting from Yosephs suspicious interest in their family. 2nd Aliya: Yehudas final plea, that he would remain a slave instead of Binyamin, triggers Yoseph to reveal himself. Yoseph mitigates his brothers shock and obvious shame by explaining to them the hidden hand of Hashem in all that had occurred. 3rd Aliya: Yoseph instructs his brothers to bring Yakov and the rest of the family to Egypt. Pharaoh, having heard the news of the brothers arrival, confirms Yosephs offer. 4th Aliya: Yoseph sends provisions and transportation for Yakovs entire household. Yakov is told of Yoseph being, alive and well and ruling the land of Egypt. 5th Aliya: Yakov wishes to see Yoseph, but first asks Hashem for instructions. Hashem reassures Yakov that the time of slavery and nationhood has begun, and that he must go to Mitzrayim. The 70 direct descendants of Yakov are counted. 6th Aliya: Yakov and Yoseph

Parshat Vayigash 250 Haftorah pg. 1144

reunite after 22 years. Five of the brothers and Yakov are presented to Pharaoh. Yakov blesses Pharaoh. The year is 2238. 7th Aliya: The remainder of the Parsha is a flashback to the two years preceding Yakovs arrival. Yosephs master plan for reconfiguring Egyptian society is detailed. Yoseph follows the broad outline of his advice to Pharaoh regarding the administration of the 7 years of plenty. The famine must have been of enormous intensity for Yoseph to accomplish his plan in just two years. Although the people sell themselves to Pharaoh in order to get food, Yosephs plan maintains their sense of dignity and independence.

In the year 2964 - 797 b.c.e, following the death of Shlomo Hamelech, the nation was divided between Rechavam ben Shlomo and Yiravam ben Nivat. Rechavam ruled over Yehudah and Binyamin, and Yiravam ruled over the other 10 Tribes. Rechavam was a direct descendant of Dovid Hamelech, and Yiravam was a descendent of Ephrayim. In this weeks Haftorah,

In this weeks Haftorah, Yichezkel Hanavi prophesied the time when the divided kingdoms of Yehudah and Yisroel would unite beneath the single banner of the family of King David. The connection to our Parsha is obvious. Our Parsha begins with a confrontation between Yehuda and Yoseph. Both were destined to be Kings over the Jewish people.
