Parshat Miketz: Joseph interprets dreams

Parshat Miketz is positively dreamy. From cows to corn, this story is full of enigmatic clues to what's up in Egypt. Sociologist Tobin Belzer brings us inside the brain of the great dream interpreter: Joseph.

This is Episode 10 of the weekly Torah cartoon from G-dcast.com. 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!

i too like ur stuff. its unique . thumbs up

nevertheless the Torah is not another mythology telling us stories and tales. you really expect Judaism to last so many years with that kind of meaning?

its ok (in my opinion) to bring the human story but please take in account that in these stories we have the secrets of the universe embedded. something like the DNA but made of 22 letters instead of 4.

@zvinaiman Thanks for your comment...we actually agree with you but this project, G-dcast: The Torah, has a very simple aim, to simply invite people into literacy of the stories. We created these mainly for teachers and rabbis to use as a jumping off point for discussions like you're talking about. (In fact we have a whole curriculum that contains more of the drash/remez/sod type of learning.)

And I love the way you talk about the DNA of the universe! Chag urim sameach...

I don't get it. Why was he crying unless he was sad for making his brothers go through this necessary trial. Ditto on this video guys. Joseph was not some bipolar mentally-ill client. He was a righteous man with righteous endeavors. Nevertheless, I love your animations.

the text and narration is just a bit off in my book.
