Leaving No One Behind - Rabbi Zvi Sobolofsky

foreign so we sometimes think that perhaps the message didn't get across who knows whether the student or the child really understood and really appreciated and really were put into into practice some of the lessons that we're trying to implicate in them so we should perhaps get some inspiration from the story of Joseph the very end of the third tells us that the osei transmitted a misora to his children his grandchildren's great-grandchildren gambite the third describes that Joseph raised these young children young babies Generations on his knees so it's not just the image of physically having them literally sitting and playing on his lap rather as we know like a grandfather a great grandfather who tells stories who tries to share the traditions of old with the next Generations and no doubt that Joseph was trying to transmit to this young young little babies things that were important to him and one of the things that we know that was of utmost importance to you know safe as it appears the very end of Saint abracious is its intense desire to be reconnected Eric Israel Yosef did not have this horse for the of our majority of his life to be actually living in Heritage Israel but yet he had such a hebazarus that you love such a desire to be connected there to Israel that he begged that he pleaded with his brothers that they should make sure that in years to come that his bones accompany the Cloudy so when they returned back there to throw it was that intense desire or that closeness that keep us or it's no doubt that Joseph tried to share with those young young generations of golus the children the grandchildren the great grandchildren by Menasha and who knows whether at the time the name actually internalized the lessons oh you know safe but yet history teaches us that in fact the lessons well learned the lessons were so internalized and it went even to further generations and we read about and say from a midbar about the below who they actually the descendants of those the great great plus granddaughters of Jose for the ones who had learned the lesson through the generations transmitted from generation to generation from parent to child from grandparent to grandchild about the love the cheapest who Generations centuries later were the ones who requested give us a land give us the inheritance give us part of Earth is wrong we should never despair but the lessons that we share with our students with our children their descendants that the lessons I listened to they're heard the lessons go from Generation generation and sometimes it takes many many years for us to see the fruit of our labor
