The Lesson from Yosef's Actions

Ben Chamesh L'Mikra | December 31, 2025

The lesson

Yosef’s actions can serve as a lesson for us as well. Although there are times when a person needs to employ measures of strictness and punishment, he must make sure to use these methods with care, and not use severity more than is necessary.

At the moment that the time of punishment has been fulfilled, one must immediately act with kindness, and do so quickly, as did Yosef.

May we see only revealed kindness from the Almighty, and experience the ultimate revelation of Moshiach, speedily!
