Harav Hagaon Meir Tzvi Shpitzer Shlita
Brotherly Love
Parashas Vayechi
Harav Hagaon Meir Tzvi Shpitzer Shlita
Many of us bentch our children on Friday night, while others do so on Erev Yom Kippur, but we all use the immortal words of Yaakov Avinu in his wonderful brachah that our children should grow up to be like Ephraim and Menashe: ืึฐืฉืึดืึฐืึธ ืึฑืึนืงึดืื ืึผึฐืึถืคึฐืจึทืึดื ืึฐืึดืึฐื ึทืฉึผืึถื.
Before saying this brachah, Yaakov placed his hands on the heads of Ephraim and Menashe. When Yosef saw that Yaakovโs right hand was on Ephraimโs head, he tried to switch his fatherโs hands, but Yaakov insisted that his hands remain that way. โKnow that Iโve switched my hands intentionally,โ he said, โbecause even though Menashe is older, Ephraim is going to be greater.โ
The Agra dโKallah, by the author of the Bnei Yissaschar, explains that Ephraim and Menashe displayed incredible feelings of love and affection for each other. Menashe realized that his grandfather was giving the better brachah to his younger brother; had we been in that situation, we would surely have complained. Ephraim, whom Yaakov chose to receive the better brachah, saw his father getting involved and trying to take that brachah away from him; had we been in Ephraimโs position we would have told our father, โIf my grandfather decided to give me the better brachah, Iโm going to take it, and please donโt get involved.โ But neither Menashe nor Ephraim said a word โ and they knew the value of a brachah from Yaakov Avinu, who was the one who fought to get a brachah from his own father.
When Yaakov Avinu saw the wonderful middos of Ephraim and Menashe, who were happy if their brother received the better brachah, he bentched them โ and all of us โ to be like them. When we bentch our children with these words, we are asking that Hakadosh Baruch Hu help our children become like Ephraim and Menashe and possess brotherly love that will allow them to be happy for each other in every situation and encourage one another to succeed.
Later in the parashah Yaakov Avinu admonishes Shimon and Levi by saying: ืฉืึดืึฐืขืึนื ืึฐืึตืึดื ืึทืึดืื ืึผึฐืึตื ืึธืึธืก ืึฐืึตืจึนืชึตืืึถื. Why does the passuk here describe them as brothers?
The Midrash explains that the introductory words ืฉืึดืึฐืขืึนื ืึฐืึตืึดื ืึทืึดืื are actually part of Yaakovโs rebuke. Yaakov was telling Shimon and Levi, โWhen it came to the incident with Dina, you knew what it meant to be brothers, you risked your life for your sister.โ Indeed, Rashi says theyโre called โachei Dinaโ because they endangered their lives in order to save her. โWhy, then,โ Yaakov continued, โdid you not display those feelings of brotherhood toward Yosef, whom you sold?โ
Yosef, in contrast, did display those feelings of brotherliness. In last weekโs parashah, he told his brothers: ืึฒื ึดื ืืึนืกึตืฃ ืึฒืึดืืึถื ืึฒืฉืึถืจ ืึฐืึทืจึฐืชึผึถื ืึนืชึดื ืึดืฆึฐืจึธืึฐืึธื. We know that Yosef is the one the brothers sold to Mitzrayim, so why mention this again? The Ohr Hachaim explains that Yosef was emphasizing, โI am Yosef your brother โ I feel to you as a brother does, and I yearn to be kind to you.โ Furthermore, Yosef was telling them that even at the time that they sold him to Mitzrayim, he still felt like their brother. They were being unkind to him, but he nevertheless wanted to be kind to them. โThatโs why,โ Yosef continued, โnow that Iโm the ruler in Mitzrayim and youโre going through difficult times, I want to help you and take care of your families.โ
A Brother is Always Kind
The Torah commands us: ืึนื ืชึฐืชึทืขึตื ืึฒืึนืึดื ืึผึดื ืึธืึดืืึธ ืืึผื ย โ do not despise or hurt an Edomite, because he is your brother. The Malbim points out that Edom is very worthy of being despised and antagonized. But the Torah expects us to act kindly to a brother even if he acts unkindly to us, just as Yosef displayed love to his brothers even though they sold him.
The true definition of a brother is someone who will always be kind to his brother, even if his brother wasnโt kind to him.
In Shir Hashirim Shlomo Hamelech speaks to Hashem in the name of Klal Yisrael, which says to Hakadosh Baruch Hu: ืึดื ืึดืชึผึถื ึฐืึธ ืึผึฐืึธื ืึดื, we wish that Your relationship with us would be like that of a brother. The meforshim explain that a brother is expected to be kind and helpful even if his sibling wasnโt good to him. โItโs true that we might not have behaved properly,โ we say to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. โWe might have done aveiros. But we want You to repay our bad deeds with kindness, just as Yosef did.โ
The Yalkut in Shoftim teaches the principle that Eisavโs descendants fall only before the descendants of Rochel. Why do the children of Rochel have the power to prevail over Eisav?
All of the other shevatim were lacking in their feelings of brotherly love, and therefore, they cannot triumph over Eisav. But the children of Rochel, who did not participate in selling their brother, but on the contrary, displayed the incredible love of ืึฒื ึดื ืืึนืกึตืฃ ืึฒืึดืืึถื โ they will bring the geulah.
The navi Yirmiyahu says: ืึผึธืขึตืช ืึทืึดืื ื ึฐืึปื ื’ ืึถืึฐืึถื ืึตืืึนืงึดืื ืึฐืึนื ืึดืฉืึฐืคึผึฐืืึนืช ืึดืฉืึฐืจึธืึตื. โIn those days,โ says Hashem, referring to the time when Moshiach will come, โI will be the God of all the families of Klal Yisrael.โ The passuk specifically mentions the families of Klal Yisrael because the geulah will come not to those people who stand as individuals, but rather to those who stand together in families. Even if a family member wasnโt kind or helpful to us, being part of a family means being like Yosef and repaying evil with good. Therefore, even if somebody was unkind to me, I have to go out of my way to be kind to him. The willingness to sacrifice on behalf of our family members โ as we see in this parashah with Ephraim and Menashe โ is what creates a family, and it is the families of Klal Yisrael that will merit the geulah.
This is the brachah that we give to our children: that they should grow up to feel for one another and put themselves out for one another. May we be zocheh that our relationship with one another will be that of ืึดืฉืึฐืคึผึฐืืึนืช ืึดืฉืึฐืจึธืึตื, and that our relationship with Hakadosh Baruch Hu be that of ืึดื ืึดืชึผึถื ึฐืึธ ืึผึฐืึธื ืึดื, so that we merit to see the fulfillment of: ืึผึธืขึตืช ืึทืึดืื ื ึฐืึปื ื’ ืึถืึฐืึถื ืึตืืึนืงึดืื ืึฐืึนื ืึดืฉืึฐืคึผึฐืืึนืช ืึดืฉืึฐืจึธืึตื.
