Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, z’l: Vayigash

Rabbi Sacks summarizes an essay by Rabbi Saul Berman on the meaning of the 3 times the verb Vayigash is used in the Tanakh: when Abraham hears of God’s intention to destroy Sodom and Gemorrah, when Joseph claims Benjamin as his personal slave, and when Elijah confronts the 450 prophets of Baal.
