[Avodah] When NOT to Lie for Peace

[Meir Rabi]

Why are Yosef's brothers praised for not being able to speak to him
BeShalom,? Is it not a Mitzvah to even lie in order to make and promote
peace? They themselves lied to promote peace when they sent the messenger to
Yosef bearing the fictitious message from YaAkov that Yosef should forgive
his brothers and not bear a grudge and seek retribution.
