Miketz 5779

ממעמקים: Why didn't Yosef reveal his identity to his brothers right away? Why did he cause his father so much anguish? Even according to the Ramban, that he was trying to actualize his dreams, wasn't there a better way?

The difference between Yosef's attitude towards his brothers on their first trip vs. the second trip (after he saw how they treated Binyamin).

Tzitz Eliezer: In the Al HaNisim for Chanukah it says that they established the holiday of Chanukah. The Al HaNisim for Purim makes no mention of the establishment of Purim. Why?
