[Avodah] Tamar Not Embarrassing Yehuda

[Yisrael Herczeg]

That's a very interesting take you have on Yehuda and Tamar, but if Yehuda
never divulged his sin, he did not do teshuvah optimally according to the
Rambam, Hilchos Teshuvah 2:5, who says that someone who sins bein adam
lechavero should confess publicly. So according to the Rambam, it would be
easier to say that Tamar did send the message to Yehuda privately, as you
suggest, but Yehuda confessed publicly. Tamar is not held accountable for
the embarrassment that Yehuda chose to bring upon himself with his viddui.
