 Yaakov’s Final Blessings.  Overview & Insights on the Parshat Vayechi with Rabbi Jonthan Feldman on Jewish Matters Podcast The parsha presents us with several family scenarios of Yaakov finishing his life by clarifying the legacy for the future generation.  We will discuss the implications of him promoting Yosef’s sons to full tribes and the blessing of Yosef’s son, the blessings to Yaakov’s own sons, and his insistence on being buried in Israel.  The parsha ends with unfinished business between Yosef and his brothers.
