Part 2 of the discussion regarding Parsha Vayigash. This episode talks about the possible  significance behind the number of descendents from each of Yaakov's four wives as they enter Egypt. Around the 3:30 mark, in talking about the number 8, I accidentally referred to its form as a Roman number with symmetry, when I had meant to say its form as an Arabic number. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Musings and remarks about Judaism, Chassidus, philosophy, and modern life from Benjamin Walters, a self-proclaimed "non-denominational Jew" living in the Great Basin desert in the High Sierras. Although not well-versed in the Talmudic texts or in rabbinical wisdom, Benjamin attempts to provide a unique and perspective and blend of American, Orthodox, Secular, and worldly beliefs to his view and interpretation of the Torah, and to help others in the journey and understand of their lives as Benjamin learns and navigates through his own.
