The Portion
"The Portion" is a podcast where Aaron Roller, a curious Orthodox Jew, sits down with his brother-in-law, Rabbi Jonathan Bienenfeld, to discuss the portion of the Torah that is read each week by Jews around the world. The conversation is informal and friendly, but not afraid to delve into the wealth of Jewish wisdom and interpretation. Guests may join to offer their takes on the portion as well.

Welcome to our conversation about Parshat Miketz. This week, we discuss:
- Connections between the Joseph narrative and Chanukah.
- Joseph's job qualifications.
- Judah's road to leadership.
- Why does Joseph set his brothers up?
- What is the best parsha cliffhanger?
Also, Rabbi Bienenfeld apologizes for disparaging amateur theater and we consider different Chanukah greetings.
