Birkat Hakohanim-Vayechi-D’var Torah-Rabbi Yakira
It is amazing that today we still connect to parashat Vayechi on a weekly basis. Every Friday night before we say the Kiddush and the Hamotzi blessing over the bread, it is within our tradition to give our children a blessing. We put our hands over our children’s heads and say “May G-d make you like Ephraim and Menasheh.” (for boys)
