At the conclusion of the book of Genesis, Joseph makes his brothers take an oath that their descendants will bring his bones back to the Land of Israel. This promise weaves its way through the Tanakh and Rabbinic literature. The saga of Joseph's bones can teach us about leadership and how to relate to the past while also providing a model for the ideal religious life to which we should aspire. Listen now to Rabbi Leon Morris on Vayehi.
