Parshat Vayeshev: Joseph and his Colorful Coat

 

Videos

Genesis: 7:1-40:23

Remember Joseph? Yeah, the many-colored-coat guy. Well, it seems to bring out the nasty in a bunch of Original Ganstas - Joseph's bros. Hip Hop artist Daniel Silverstein (aka Danny Raphael) lays down the story for us in rhyme.

Joseph's brothers often seem to act with questionable morality. How might we look at their acts and still understand their role as the ancestors of the Jewish people?


Each week, a different storyteller - some musical, some poetic, some just straight-up, tell the story of the current Torah portion...and then we animate it! For a source sheet and lesson guide for this animated short please visit http://www.g-dcast.com/weekly-parsha/
