“I am HaShem your G-d.” The first of the Ten Commandments instructs us to seek out G-d in our world. One such seeker was Yitro, a former idolater who overcame his doubts and recognized the one G-d, earning him the privilege of being forever associated with the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai.

The crossing of the Sea of Reeds on dry land celebrated by the children of Israel in the Song of the Sea, was not just a passage from slavery to freedom, it was a passage from the past to an ever approaching future. It was a revelation shared by all the children of Israel, a premonition and prophecy and proof of the future resurrection of the dead.

The ten plagues that made G-d’s name known in all the world happened many years ago in the land of Egypt. The process they began of bringing the knowledge of G-d’s presence and power to all humankind for all generations continues till today. They resound and reverberate every time a Pharaoh arises and says “I do not know Hashem.”

From the moment of his birth until he came of age, Moshe was nurtured, kept alive and cared for by women of undaunted courage and unshakable fear of G-d.

Recognition and reconciliation. These two words are the key to parashat Vayigash and the key to the unity of Israel. We are all individuals and each one of us marches to a different drum, but it is the recognition of one another’s worth that is the glue that binds Israel together. Together as one, the future is bright.
Vayigash (Genesis 44:18-47:27)
