Is my father still alive?” The Torah’s narration continues: “The brothers were unable to respond to him, because they were frightened in his presence.” (Bereshis 45:1-3) If Yehuda is merely repeating the same argument that he already advanced in Parshas Miketz, why was he successful this time, whereas he previously failed?
