VaYehi – Seamless Transition

Introduction

Parashat VaYehi is the only weekly parasha that does not begin with a new paragraph in the Torah scroll but instead continues seamlessly from the end of last week’s Parashat VaYigash. In this podcast, Rabbi Michael Hattin considers the Midrashic interpretation of this singularity.
