The final portion of the book of Bereishit is dominated by the fascinating and complicated narrative of Yosef and his brothers, highlighting the complex family dynamic among the children of Yaakov, and the consequences and ramifications of difficult choices made. Those choices bring Yosef to many unexpected crossroads, pushing him to learn, grow and reflect. In this course we will take an in-depth look at the path and trajectory of his journey from a young man, favored by his father and hated by his brothers, to the second-in-command to the Pharaoh in Egypt. We will conduct a literary study of the text to unpack the multilayered way in which the Torah recounts the story of Yosef and his brothers, exploring themes of deception and truth, loyalty and betrayal, and leadership. Over the course of our analysis of the narrative, we will consult the interpretations of commentators to deepen our understanding of what is being said between the lines of the text and underneath the surface. Finally, we will consider the role that dreams play in the unfolding of events over the many years of Yosef’s journey as he develops from a dreamer into an interpreter, and walks the difficult road towards his destiny and the healing of a fractured family
