RABBI MORTON F. YOLKUT

Special to The Jewish News

W

hat was it like on
the day the Israel-
ites forever left
Egypt? The rabbis of the
Midrash present a vivid
description! Kal Yisroel hayu
asukim b'chesef vezahav —
the entire people were busy
accepting the gold and silver
the Egyptians offered as
farewell presents. Their last
moments in Egypt were spent
stuffing their spoils into

Morton Yolkut is rabbi of
Congregation B'nai David.

trunks and suitcases.
And what was Moses doing
during those last hours of
slavery? The Midrash says
Moses was preoccupied with
far more noble spoils. He
went looking for the remains
of Joseph, remembering the
Israelites' sacred promise to
Joseph that when they were
liberated, they would take his
bones with them to the Pro-
mised Land. Indeed, through-
out the 40 years of wander-
ings, this precious burden ac-
companied our ancestors.

A number of questions can
be asked of this rabbinic com-
mentary. What connection is

there between Israel's newly
acquired riches and Joseph's
mortal remains? Moreover,
we are told elsewhere that the
remains of all of Joseph's
brothers were taken out of
Egypt. Why, then, is only
Joseph's name singled out?
Joseph's career was strik-
ingly different than that of
his brothers. Generally, his
siblings were always together
— in war, work, traveling to
Egypt, in Goshen — while
Joseph spent most of his life
alone. The brothers lived fair-
ly stable lives with few
radical ascents or descents in
their fame or fortunes. Joseph
