Parsha Vayechi 5768: The End of Corruption and Etrogization Begins With Us
.
This author recalls a commentary by the K’li Yekar (Judiaca Press Chumash, page 600) on the first posuk of Parsha Vayechi which is leyned this Shabbos.
The K’li Yekar explains the lack of a space between the end of the previous sedra Vayigash and our parsha as meaning that the two poskim are understood together. The final verse of Vayigash reads;
And Yisrael dwelt in the land of Mitzriyim in the land of Goshen, and they acquired property in it and… multiplied greatly.
