Description

What are three ways to fight the yetzer hara? How did Yaakov Avinu follow this Gemara exactly? Why did Yosef seemingly make the same mistake as his father did? Why did he specifically give them clothing? Why is the Gemara's answer of Yosef hinting to Binyamin about Mordechai calm down the jealousy of his brothers? How does this connect to the 10th of Teves? Ideas included from the Oznayim LaTorah, Chizkuni, Vilna Gaon, Chossom Sofer and Bobover Rebbe.
