Summary: In the end of last week's Torah reading, Joseph demanded that
Benjamin remain behind in Egypt as his slave. This week's reading opens
with Judah approaching Joseph and appealed to him to allow Benjamin to
return to his father Jacob in Canaan. He spoke of Jacob's reluctance
to allow Benjamin – Rachel's only remaining child – to make the trip to
Egypt, and the great love Jacob harbored for his youngest son.
