GENESIS | 44:18 [me] — GEN1547 [Accusations should Fit the Person] Rabbi...

GEN1547 [Accusations should Fit the Person] Rabbi Bunam learned that he had been accused of a misdeed.  He turned to his Hasidim and said, “Usually accusations fit the person accused.   A lowly person is accused of a low crime, a distinguished man of a higher offense.   When Joseph’s brothers were accused of stealing the goblet, Judah exclaimed; “A person like me you accuse of stealing? [this verse begins Judah’s speech in Hebrew with the words bi, “me.”] I may say the same: of all possible accusations, they accuse me of a crime entirely unsuited to my character!”   Sayings of the Hasidic Rebbes   GOODSOC 74
