[Avodah] Name of this week's Parsha

[kennethgmiller at juno.com]

In the thread "Seeing G'zeiros Everywhere", R' Rich Wolpoe pointed out that:

> for 50+ years I pronounced vayhi with a sh'va na, but as
> hazal note it's VAY HEE no sh'va na

It is the perfect time of year to point out that this is also true of the name of this week's parsha:

The all-too-ubiquitous "Vayechi", with a sheva nach and three syllables, is an error. Rather, it has a sheva na and only two syllables: "Vaychi" or "Vaichi".
