parashah vaiygash


Judah approaches Joseph and begs him to free Benjamin. He even offers himself as a slave, yes he offers to stay in Egypt as Joseph's slave instead of Benjamin! As long as Benjamin is set free and allowed to return to his father's home in Canaan. At this point, when Joseph sees how much his brothers care about one another, he can no longer hold back his feelings. He sends all his servants and guards out of the room, and when he and his brothers are left alone he cries and says "I am Joseph, is my father still alive?"
ANI YOSEF, HAOD AVI' HAI?
A creative project for students to visualize the differences between the way Yosef
appeared to his brothers as the Egyptian viceroy and how he looked to them
once he revealed himself.
Tape the two faces of Yosef onto the Vayigash page so that the faces can be flipped up.
The bottom face should be the one of Yosef as the loving brother (with beard, smile, kippah)
The top face should be the one of Yosef as the Egyptian ruler ( with beard and angry look)



SERACH KINOR
Serach played on her kinor, Yosef is alive
Yaakov was so happy when the wagons did arrive
When Yaakov saw Yosef after so many years
They hugged one another and cried happy tears 
Children are delighted to use this harp, made out of a wooden
hanger that really "plays" music, just like Serach’s did in Parshas
Vayigash.













Both projects from Chinuch.org
