Thank You, Todah Rabbah to our Breakfast sponsors for December 28 - January 3: Ruth Ellis, Ashley Waltman, Judy Noyek

Parashat MiketzThis parashah is almost always read during the week of Hanukkah. Although that is only a coincidence of the calendar, we can find thematic connections. Just as Hanukkah celebrates the victory of the weak over the powerful, the parashah begins with Pharaoh's dream of the lean cows conquering the well-fed ones. As the parashah begins with Joseph in prison and ends with Joseph as ruler, the story of Hanukkah begins with Israel oppressed and ends with Israel triumphant and independant. Taken from Etz Hayim Torah and Commentary
