Parsha:

Vayeitzei,  Vayishlach 

Description

Reading Tanakh stories in strict chronological order can sometimes lead to somewhat implausible scenarios: twelve births in six years, tweens capable of decimating a city, and successive generations of eight year old fathers. Watch this Torahcast brought to you by ALHATORAH.ORG, featuring Neima Novetsky exploring the births of Yaakov's first twelve children ( http://alhatorah.org/The_Births_and_R... ) and how three different approaches to the unfolding of these events shape our understanding of stories in both Parashat Vayetze itself as well as the continuation of Sefer Bereshit.
