This week's Torah portion focuses on the relationship of Joseph and his brothers. The last time Joseph met his brothers, they sold him into slavery and lied to their father. Now, decades later, Benjamin, Joseph's brother, has been taken into custody as well. He's about to become a slave which would break their father's heart. This time, Judah stands up and protects his brother.
This story about Joseph and his brothers is a human story that describes our understanding of Teshuvah, repentance. It reminds us that each of us are capable of growth and change.
