Parashat Vayehi | Rabbi Roly Matalon | January 3, 2026

We live in a moment that mirrors Yosef’s contradiction: a time in which we are both vulnerable and powerful, both threatened and influential, both capable of grace and capable of harm. We know about pits, betrayal, exile, suffering, and survival. We know that antisemitism is alive and on the rise. And we also know what Jewish power and rage can do. We know what it means to be part of systems that determine who lives and who suffers.
