A caravan of Ish. maelites is seen in the background. "And it came to pass, when Joseph was cm* unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat" (Gen. 37.23). Vayeshev — Jacob and his sons dwelt in the land of Canaan as shepherds. Of all his sons, Jacob loved Joseph best. His obvious favoritism produced hatred and jealousy among the brothers. Joseph's brothers sold the hated favorite to some Ishmaelite merchants, who took Joseph to Egypt with them. There, Potiphar, an officer of the Pharaoh and captain of his guard, bought Joseph as a slave. The Hebrew lad quickly rose to a position of responsibility in his master's household. However, Joseph rejected the advances of Potiphar's wife; she slandered him, and he was imprisoned. But in prison, too, God was with Joseph, and he won the confidence of the jailers. He became known as an interpreter of dreams by correctly reading the significance of the dreams of Pharaoh's butler and baker when they were his prison-mates. VAYISHLAH 11 127'+1 Rachel's tomb. "And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath — the same ;s Bethlehem. And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave" (Gen. 35.19-20). Vayishlah — Approaching the boundary of the land of Seir where his brother Esau dwelt, Jacob prudently sent messengers ahead to inform Esau of his coming and of his wealth. The messengers returned with the news that Esau was advancing toward Jacob with 400 men. Terrified, Jacob divided his camp into two sections, so as not to lose all in the event of an attack. He sent gifts to Esau and prayed God to save him from his brother. Jacob crossed the stream of Jabbok with his camp. There, as he stood alone, an angel approached and wrestled with him. At the end of the struggle, the angel declared: "Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed" (Genesis 32.29). Thus encouraged, Jacob met Esau, whom he treated with the utmost deference. Embracing, the two brothers kissed, wept, and were reconciled. Jacob jour- neyed on to Shechem. There the rape of Jacob's only daughter, Dinah, by the prince of that city, led to the vengeful destruction of Shechem by two of Dinah's brothers. Proceeding to Beth-el, Jacob kept the vow he had made to return thither. On the way, Rachel gave birth to Jacob's last and youngest son, Benjamin. But Rachel died in childbirth, and Jacob buried her on the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem. Beth El to Co-Host Religious Parley Philadelphia Rabbis Split on State Bill for Busing of All Students PHILADELPHIA (JTA) — A State Senate bill to provide busing, for children attending public, pri- vate and religiously sponsored schools continued to evoke con- flicting stands from Jewish spokes- men. A group of 50 Philadelphia rabbis issued a statement support- ing the measure, a move which has not been endorsed by the Board of Rabbis of Greater Phila- delphia. The board has announced publicly it is not taking any stand on the matter. At the same time, the Jewish Labor Committee announced its opposition to the bill. Previously, the local Community Relations Committee had testified against the bill in Harrisburg. The rabbis' statement urged the State Senate "to act promptly to move for enactment of a school bus law that will provide safe transportation and protection for all the school children of the state in public, private and parochial schools." Fifteen of the signers are Ortho- dox rabbis; 17 serve Conservative congregations but are considered to be personally Orthodox; 14 are full-time teachers and four are retired. The Jewish Labor Committee, in a letter to State Senator Preston Davis, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, said ap- proval of the bill would "impair the constitutional principle of separation of church and state."
