In Parashat Vayeishev, Joseph is asked by his father to go check on the shalomthe peace, or wholenessof his brothers. Those familiar with Josephs story know that he had differences with his brothers even though they had the familial connection. Were all part of something largerthe world, an age cohort, maybe the Jewish communityand at times, we have major differences with those in our communities. Should we always look for commonalities? Rabbi Jacobs gives his take in the episode of On the Other Hand.
