Miketz Tallit
Miketz is the second parasha of four dealing with the story of Joseph. Joseph has made a name for himself interpreting dreams in prison in Egypt. None less than Pharaoh has a dream that troubles him, and Joseph is sought out to shed light on its meaning. Joseph interprets his dream, telling him of the coming famine. Pharaoh prepares himself and makes Joseph his right-hand man. Joseph's brothers come to him from Canaan, hoping for food rations, do not recognize him, and Joseph eventually tricks them into leaving Benjamin with him in Egypt.
Band I

Band II
