In parashas Mikeitz, Judah responds to his father's concern forBenjamin's safety by saying: "Send the lad with me, and we will ariseand go, that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also ourlittle ones." Many commentators explain this to mean that Judah wasconceding the danger that the trip posed to Benjamin but arguing thatthe danger to the whole family of not going was greater. Our class thisweek will explore this idea from the halachic perspective.Archive.org link, including handout: link
In this class we discuss Judah's proposal to his brothers to sell Joseph rather than kill him. Our discussion involves two of our favorite themes:  the question of the legitimacy of moral compromise when moral absolutism seems infeasible, and the moral ambiguity frequently present in Biblical narrative.Archive.org version, including handout: link
