Parsha Summary – Parshah Miketz
Yoseph has been in prison for 12 years. Pharaoh has two similar ‎dreams and demands their interpretation. The wine steward ‎remembers Yoseph and his gift for dream interpretation, and Yoseph ‎is rushed into Pharaoh's presence. ‎

Yoseph interprets Pharaoh' dream and suggests to him how to best ‎administrate the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine. ‎‎(The extent of Yoseph's brilliance will first be revealed in next week's ‎Parsha.) ‎

Yoseph is appointed viceroy over Egypt, and puts into effect the plan ‎that he had outlined to Pharaoh. He marries the daughter of Potiphar ‎‎(the daughter of Dina) and has two sons, Menashe and Ephrayim. ‎

The seven years of famine begin, and the only food available is in ‎Mitzrayim. Yoseph, unrecognized by his brothers, recognizes them ‎when they come to buy food. He accuses them of treachery and ‎imprisons them for three days. ‎

Yoseph demands that Binyamin be brought to Egypt and keeps ‎Shimon as a hostage. The brothers relate their adventure to Yakov ‎who refuses to send Binyamin. The increasing famine forces Yakov to ‎concede to Yehuda's guarantee that Binyamin will be safe, and the ‎brothers return to Egypt. ‎

The brothers are reunited with Shimon and invited to eat at the table ‎of Yoseph. All appears to be forgiven and Yoseph sees Binyamin for ‎the first time in 22 years. ‎

Yoseph hatches his final plot against his brothers. His famed chalice is ‎planted in the Binyamin's saddlebag forcing the brothers to return to ‎Mitzrayim and a confrontation with Yoseph. ‎

I will be off till Parshat Vayechi wishing you all a very illuminating ‎and spiritual Chanukah.‎
