Where is Goshen? Jewish History in the Torah Miketz
Jewish History Lectures
The region of Goshen, integral to the biblical narrative in parashat Miketz, is explored in terms of its geographical, historical, and cultural significance. Goshen is depicted as the area in Egypt where Joseph settled his family, providing a fertile setting for the nascent Israelite nation to grow and thrive. This region's importance lies not only in its physical location but also in its representation of a period of prosperity and divine providence for the Israelites during their initial years in Egypt.
