The eleventh portion of Torah reveals to us much of what Torah has in mind when it comes to how we approach the solution to, and resolution of, conflicts. While we may expect that in the case of Genesis G-d might be in the driving seat when the narrative draws itself towards a better place, in fact G-d is cuiously absent, instead these issues are left to humans to solve, notwithstanding their pre-existing connection to the divine. As Joseph, Jacob, Judah and the rest of the family discover, what we need is often within reach, but it relies on us to take action. Joseph reveals himself, Judah crafts a way forward, and the idea of a family bonded together is once again on the cards, ready for the final episode of Genesis next week.
