Highlights of parashat Va-yehi



This parasha focuses on the last days and death of Yaakov.  We have six discussions on this parahsa:
We have two discussions on Yaakov's blessings to his grandsons, Menahse and Efrayim.  One discusses the structure of chapter 48, http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2010/12/bereshit-487-va-yehi-structure-of.html and one attempts to explain how Yaakov did not recognize his grandsons,  http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2009/12/bereshit-488-va-yehi-who-are-you.html
The fourth discussion examines whether the brothers and Yosef were truly reconciled in the end, http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2012/12/bereshit-5015-21-va-yehi-happy-ending.html
The fifth discussion argues that Yaakov knew that the brothers had caused Yosef to be sold to Egypt, http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2009/01/bereshit-501415-did-yaakov-find-out.html
The sixth discussion  explains that Yosef was the fourth generation referred to in the prophecy of Bereshit 15:16, http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2009/01/bereshit-502425-representative.html
