The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Ariel Mizrahi’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Okay, good morning everyone. Huzzah. Thank you for joining us on this beautiful Tuesday morning as we are studying together. In our paras, we read about this um this uh ultimate reunion, the uh the climax of the story where Yseph uh finally reunites with his father. He reveals himself to his brothers and he says the very famous line after um many many weeks of him line after um many many weeks of him knowing it's them and they don't know it's him. Yseph says to his brothers, "Is my father still alive? talking and uh his brothers could not answer him because they were uh ashamed [snorts] I am Joseph is my father still alive the I am Joseph is my father still alive the famous song that the kids going to come home singing from this week's parasa and the brothers could not respond they were so ashamed of this rebuke um on this puk our rabbi say oi lanu Woe to us on the day of judgment. Woe to us on the day of rebuke. If the brothers could not answer the rebuke of Joseph could not answer the rebuke of Joseph and the Midrash brings another example. Anyone know who it is? Who else could not answer the rebuke given to them? If the brothers could not answer Ysef and if B could not answer his donkey, then what will we answer on [clears throat] the day of rebuke on the day of judgment? This is the famous.
