Episode Synopsis

On this week’s parsha, the Torah raises one of its most difficult questions: How could Jacob’s righteous sons, the forefathers of us all, treat their brother Joseph so harshly? How could they plot to kill him, and why did they eventually sell him off to slavery? The question resonates with us today, as we continue to fight among ourselves, but the Torah, thankfully, gives us a powerful prescription for ending this strife. How can we become closer and create unity in the Jewish world? Tune in to find out.
