What was it about wagons that convinced Jacob that Joseph was really alive?

There must be a reason why the story of Joseph and his brothers is in the weekly Torah portion read on Chanukah.

Joseph and his dreams are discussed in the Torah portion Vayeishev, which always either precedes Chanukah or falls during the holiday. 

Baseless hatred is a serious sin. Ensuring that we, personally, are at peace with our fellows does not suffice. We must also actively promote peace among others.

Sibling rivalry, the antagonism or hostility among siblings, may very well be one of humanity's oldest problems. I call it the "Am I my brother's keeper?" syndrome.

When we’re down, we have to have the “Joseph attitude.” We have to look for the good even in the midst of the bad!
