After learning the details about the plot of Yusuf's brothers and their attempts to get permission from their father Ya'qub to take Yusuf out with them, this episode explores the suspicions of Ya'qub and seeks to answer the question: If he was suspicious of their motives, why did he permit them to take Yusuf out with them? This session also examines why they came back at night, their attempted cover up of the crime, and why Ya'qub responded to the news the way he did, and what that teaches us about responding to tragedy.
