The presidential inauguration

Last night's post included the following words.

A friend pointed out that Donald Trump will be sworn into office on Friday, January 20th 2017, Parshat Shemos. Shemos Perek 1, posuk 8, begins with the words 'Vayokom Melech Chodosh Al Mitzrayim'--A new king arose over Egypt.

On January 14, 2009 Rabbi N. Daniel Korobkin waxed lyrical about the upcoming inaugauration of President Obama.

We are at the eve of our new president’s inauguration, a time of new beginnings. How appropriate it is to begin a new book of the Torah, the book of Exodus, with its story of freedom and emancipation from the shackles of the past.

As rabbis are wont to do, I find the ancient biblical words shouting the headlines: “A new king arose over Egypt” (Exodus 1:8). And yet, the end of that verse states that the new king “did not know Joseph,” whereas President-elect Barack Obama surely does know and has great affection for the Josephs, Cohens and Bernsteins of the world. http://www.jewishjournal.com/torah_portion/article/inauguration_anticipation_20090114/
