Summary of Today's Chumash In the third aliyah when Yakov blesses Yosef's sons Ephraim and Menashe, he places his right hand on Ephraim, the younger son, and his left hand on Menashe, the older son. Yosef is concerned about Yakov's right hand on Ephraim, so he tries to remove it, but Yakov affirmed his action and said the younger will be greater. Yakov blessed them: "By you Israel shall be blessed: G-d make you as Ephraim and Menashe", which is how we bless our children on erev Yom Kippur. Yakov said G-d would be with the Jewish People in exile. |
