Shattered Assumptions פרשת ויגש

When tragedy strikes, our lives are in shambles and our spirits disheartened. Jacob felt this way many times and it changed his worldview.

כשהטרגדיה מתרחשת, חיינו מבולבלים ורוחנו מדוכאת. יעקב הרגיש כך פעמים רבות וזה שינה את תפיסת עולמו.

Vayigash – Hard knocks life
פרשת ויגש
