Joseph and His Brothers
After many difficult events and years apart, Joseph meets his brothers again. At first, they do not know who he is. When Joseph finally tells them, the moment is full of strong feelings.
Joseph speaks with his brothers and invites the family to come closer. The story turns toward reunion and caring for the people who need food and a home.
Rabbi Moose says that repairing a relationship takes more than pretending nothing happened. We can name a hurt, listen carefully, and ask a trusted grown-up for help. Forgiveness is personal; nobody has to rush it. A real new beginning makes room for care, honesty, and safer ways to treat one another.
