I Don't Want to Put Meself With You
By Rabbi Michael Skobac
“Josef said to the wife of Potiphar who was trying to seduce him: How can I do this great evil and sin against G-d?” (Genesis 39:9).
Since she'd be cheating on her husband and committing the sin of adultery, Josef should have said: How could we do this great evil and sin against G-d?
Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peshischa answered that Josef didn't want to put himself together with her at all - even in mere speech.
