Yosef's Motivation

A couple classes ago we discussed what Yosef's motivation was to not tell his brothers it was him from the moment he saw him. Our class had many ideas on what might actually be going on in his head. Like he could have been trying to get revenge on them or he could have been scared that his brothers were still angry at him and wanted to give them a chance to cool down or he could have been wanting to fulfill his dreams or he is making them go through the same thing that he went through to see if they had the same with the thoughts before he opens himself up he must see if they have changed or it could be that he hasn't yet matured and he couldn't treat them any different. As we went through the Pesukim and saw the whole story we see that the reason that he really did this was because as Rambam says: A second chance is the biggest Teshuva a person can do. They go through the same exact situation and they have to prove that they have changed and this time the results of the situation would be them doing the correct thing. This is exactly what Yosef did. He put his brothers through the exact same situations: favortism, one being left behind. This time Yehuda stood up for his siblings and his father and took all the blame on himself. When Yosef saw that Yehuda had done this he broke down crying and he realized they had trained and he revealed who he was.
