In the sedra’s sub-plot, Yehuda's sons Er & Onan die as punishment for preventing their wife Tamar from becoming pregnant. When Yehuda's wife dies, Tamar resolves to have children with Yehuda. She poses as a prostitute, is impregnated by Yehuda, & Zerach & Peretz (ancestor of David) are born.
Yosef rises to power in Potifar's house. Potifar's wife seduces him. When rejected, she accuses him of rape & he is jailed. Yosef interprets the dream of Paro's wine steward, who is reinstated, and the dream of Paro's baker, who is hanged. Despite promising, the wine steward forgets Yosef, who stays in jail.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
