 ChaBaD Jewish Calendar Monday, 14 Kislev, 5784 November 27, 2023 Torah Reading Vayishlach: Genesis 32:4-13 Jewish History Reuben Born (1568 BCE) Reuben, the eldest son of  Jacob  and  Leah , was born in Charan (Mesopotamia) on the 14th of Kislev of the year 2193 from creation (1568 BCE). As Jacob's firstborn, he was initially entitled to the leadership of Israel and to a double portion in the Holy Land, but these privileges were taken from him (and given respectively to Judah and Joseph) because he sinned by " violating the bed of his father ." Reuben unsuccessfully tried to prevent the persecution of  Joseph  by his brothers in 2216 (1545 BCE) and subsequently berated them for selling him into slavery (Genesis 37:21; 42:22). In 2238 he relocated to Egypt together with his father, brothers and their children, where he died on his 125th birthday in 2318 (1443 BCE).
