Highlights of parashat Va-yiggash

This week's parasha records Yehuda's great speech which moved Yosef to reveal himself to his brothers and then all the family moved to Egypt. We have three discussions on the parasha:

One, a discussion of Yehuda's great speech, http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2009/01/bereshit-4418-23-try-to-remember.html

Two, a discussion on why Yosef asked is my father alive after he revealed himself to his brothers, http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2009/01/bereshit-453-present-danger.html

Three, when the family goes to Egypt, the Torah records that the family consisted of seventy people, but this count is not obvious.  We offer a solution to this question, http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2009/12/bereshit-468-27-va-yiggash-who-is-to-be.html
