Why didn’t the brothers agologize to Yossef ? He gave them the opportunity to apologizes. And they were sorry. Why did they not apologize?

Yehuda Conversed with His Subconscious
Such a great shiur. I heard you say that the word "father" was said 14 times in Yehuda's monologue. And that when a word is used that many times there is a theme connected to it. I noticed that the word "servant" - my servant, your servant was said 13 times. Is there a thematic explanation for the use of that word so many times as well?

Amazing! Is there a Source Sheet for this one?
Great Shuir as always! (Even better this time).

Thank you so much!

H' should give you lots of Koach to continue this Shurim and spreading his loving name around the world.

Is there a Source Sheet for this one?

Your videos, your whole system is very uplifting and inspiring to me. You certainly are YHWH's People! I spent 2 months on study tour of Israel in 1973. I majored in Biblical Studies in college and took 5 yrs of Hebrew course in seminary. I am christian. I believe the Scriptures...they tell me you are God's People! ... Shalom! :)

  Ken, please do not take Anonymous's insensitive statements to heart. They are not representative of the whole. It is wonderful that you are able to explore and connect! Wishing you lots of luck!

    it's great that he wants to learn Torah.
    
    to pretend he's not involved in Avodah Zoroh is not helping him.

      Dear Anonymous.
      
      I want to bring up a little story i really like.
      
      Abraham gave shelter to a stranger, like he did so often. While they two had a conversation with eachother, it unfolded that the stranger was involved in Avodah Zarah. Abraham got very furious, and chased the stranger away. HaShem spoke to Abraham: -My good Abraham. Why did you chased him away? I already tolerated him several years on this earth, and you fail by tolerate him for a couple of hours?- Abraham searched for the stranger and brought him back to his warm hearted tent.
      
      And can you say what'll change in the heart from this stranger, when you bring him patience, tolerance and love? So he can do his very own journey through the desert and grow. Nothing will change in the good and sustainable when you bring inpatience and frustrated feelings to another person. To a precious creation of HaShem.
      
      Kol Tuv, my friend.

        it's telling that Ken chose to identify as "christian" he could have identified as "non-jew", then i wouldnt have replied.
        
        Rav Moshe Feinstein warns that christians have realised that converting Yidden through violence isn't acceptable anymore so they approach us with compliments, kindness and requests for dialogue, their intentions are the same: to tear us away from the Aibishter.
        
        i'm not "impatient" and "frustrated" i'm realistic. you should see the madness Rav Tovia Singer is dealing with in Eretz Yisoel:

        when Avrohom Avinu brought him back to his home he didn't indulge his Avodah Zoroh he explaned to him the true path.

        Do you think that Abraham only explained the good to the stranger through words? I believe that he also explained it to him with his actions, his whole energy... sure, also with words.
        
        But to go the first step, you need to invite. And invitation can be a welcoming smile. You can explain the right way to Ken, if you like. But what i see is that you maybe chasing him away and give strength to something not so good, than inviting him 'to your home' and 'explain the right way'.
        
        We need strength (call it realism if you want) for our goals, but also our heart to go on in the right direction while we are on this earth.
        
        Maybe you want to discuss or talk via mail? Because i see this space is limited to answer comments. And nothing is easier than get a anonym eMail to talk. Please let me know, i think it could be enriching for us both.
        
        all the best to you
