Vayigash: Joseph – Economic Genius or Tyrannical Leader?

In this week’s Pardes from Jerusalem podcast on parshat Vayigash, Neima Novetsky looks at the question of why the Torah elaborates about Joseph’s economic policies in Egypt.  What do these policies have to do with the history of Am Yisrael? And finally, do they portray Joseph in a positive or negative light?

Please let us know your comments and thoughts about the podcast, write to us at elmad@pardes.org.il.
