Sometimes All We Can Give Is Empathy 🤗

Yseph and Benyam understood that it would have been wonderful if this reunification was the end of their familial pain. But they also understood on a deeper national level that this was not the end of our pain. This was not the end of our suffering. So Yoseph cries over the suffering of Binyammen so to speak and Binyammen cries over the suffering of Yoseph. The Reb says something absolutely amazing. Sometimes in life you encounter another person and another person is in pain. And as much as I want to help, I can't do anything. And therefore, the Reb says, "Sometimes the only thing you could give to another person is empathy. I'll cry with you. I'm going to be there with you. I'm going to give you a shoulder to cry and you can cry on mine or I'll cry at yours. I just want you to know I am with you in your pain. I am with you in your difficulty.
