In a brave move at the beginning of Parshat Vayigash, Yaakov’s son Yehuda approaches and requests the release of his imprisoned younger brother Binyamin from his still-in-disguise brother Yosef (who just happens to be the second most powerful person in Egypt). After an impassioned plea where Yehuda offers to trade places with the enslaved Binyamin, with great emotion Yosef reveals himself to his brothers.
