Yosef marries Osnat, Potifar’s daughter, and has 2 sons, Menashe and Efraim.
Yakov sends his sons to Egypt to buy food. The brothers don’t recognize Yosef and come before him and bow to him. Yosef plays the part of an Egyptian, acts harshly and accuses them of being spies. He sells them food but keeps Shimon hostage until they bring Binyamin to him. They return to Yaakov and retell everything. Yakov at first refuses to let Binyamin go to Egypt, but when the famine grows, he accedes.
Yosef welcomes the brothers lavishly as honored guests. When he sees Binyamin he rushes from the room and weeps. Yosef instructs his servants to put his goblet in Binyamin's sack. When the goblet is discovered, Yosef demands Binyamin become his slave. Yehuda offers himself, but Yosef refuses.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
