Answers
1. Yosef knew that he could bury his father in Israel with the consent of Pharaoh because he was the viceroy, his brothers, however, would not have been allowed to leave.
2. We learn that the bones of all of Yosef's brothers were also taken to Israel.
3. In order to make Pharaoh think they are lost in the desert.
4. Initially Pharaoh released Bney Israel to go worship G- d for three days, and he send messengers with them to make sure they returned. When It was obvious they were not returning these messengers carried the message back to Pharaoh.
5. He told them that unlike all kings he will lead the pursuit and share the spoils evenly with everyone.
6. So that they will not fear that in the same way they crossed the sea so did the Egyptians and they will be back to chase them.
7. The wicked ones were as straw rising and falling with the sea, the most righteous sank like led and the rest were as stone.
8. Thy got to be buried.
9. Because she received prophecy (about Moshe being born) when she was only Aharon's sister.

Re'e NEVER EXTREME EXCEPT ISRAEL
Parshat Re'eh
Judaism is against extremism, so how can we understand the seemingly extreme statements found in our sages in favor of living in the Land of Israel and against living in Chutz laAretz? The article deals with the seeming contradiction between the strength of Free-Will and the strength of being influenced by our surroundings.
Ekev DANCE FOR ISRAEL- FOR YOUR BENEFIT
Parshat Eikev
Description: The 7 Haftarot we read after Tisha B'Av ("Shiva D'Nichemta") surely get us excited that they're coming TRUE, and awaken us to yearn, dance & join the return to Zion! The short article also deals with the problems and solutions facing the American Jewish community as discussed at a recent panel, as well as the question why Jews come from America to Israel to help when we face problems, but Israelis don't come to aid Jews in America when they face anti-Semitism.

Re’eh
Giving is more than an act of generosity—it is an essential part of human dignity that belongs to everyone, rich and poor alike. The ultimate goal of help is to empower others to stand on their own.
