Welcome to today's podcast.
In the Torah portion by Egash, we find Yehuda standing up as the leader among his brothers, offering a stirring plea before Yosef. Yehuda's heartfelt speech reflects the passionate struggle and dedication that mark the Jewish service to God. This moment captures the essence of an eternal debate on how to serve the Divine, highlighting the balance between fear and love, between humility and assertiveness.
The question Joseph poses to his brothers, "Is our father still alive?" can be seen as more than mere curiosity. It is a poignant reminder of their shared history and the enduring bonds of family. By revealing his true identity as the one who introduced the practice of circumcision to Egypt, Joseph is emphasizing a deeper connection to his family's traditions and values. The sudden inquiry about his father's well-being serves to reconnect with his roots and confront his brothers with the reality of their past actions.
