He felt that every human being created by Hashem deserved to be as happy as possible, and although he himself was suffering, he still wanted to be helpful. True, we can often find good reasons for why we’re exempt from offering a fellow Yid to put on tefillin, light Shabbos candles or the Chanukah menorah. The Torah could have just written that Yosef interpreted the dream of a minister who in turn brought Yosef to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams. The Rebbe talked 1 about this several months after the Yom Kippur war in 5734 (1973) and said that a Yid must take a lesson from Yosef. At this point in his life, Yosef had already experienced enough hardship, disappointment, and stress to make him angry at the world. Moreover, Yosef had all the reasons in the world to be focused only on his own sorry fate with no space for anyone else’s troubles. When Yosef came to serve them that fateful morning, he noticed a slight change in their faces; it wasn’t the usual look of worry.
