    On this week’s parsha, the Torah raises one of its most difficult questions: How could Jacob’s righteous sons, the forefathers of us all, treat their brother Joseph so harshly?

How can we become closer and create unity in the Jewish world? Tune in to find out. Sivan Rahav-Meir is a leading Israeli journalist, media personality and Torah scholar.
