Why Didn't Yosef Phone Home?
Throughout the time Yosef is in Egypt he doesn't contact his father. Why not - especially after he becomes viceroy!
When Yosef sees his brothers for the first time, the first thing he remembers is his dreams - not the fact that they threw him in the pit! Why?
The approaches of the Ramban, Rav Shimshon Raphael Hirsch, and Rav Yoel bin Nun.
What might Yosef not know that we know?
Is it possible that it's dangerous for Yosef to communicate with his father when he becomes viceroy and is now under a microscope? Is he afraid of being suspected of dual loyalty?
