As with most Bible "stories," the seduction of Yosef by Potiphar's wife — the original Desperate Housewife — leaves the reader with many puzzling questions and gaps in the story. Fortunately, the Midrash and Meforshim (commentators and exegetes) come to the rescue and make the story complete. Somewhat surprisingly, the end result is quite different that what one would have thought from the Torah passages. Come, learn and enjoy a tale with plot twists, great lessons and a surprise ending!
