| Lecture Details: |
When Yaakov gives a bracha to Efraim and Menashe, he tells Yosef that he never hoped that he would be able to see him again. The language of the passuk used for "hoped", philalti, is similar to tefilah, prayer. Tefilah is an expression of one's greatest hopes and desires. Yaakov had stopped hoping to see Yosef, because he thought that Yosef had been torn up. Through our Avos, we see that we were born from despair-from Avraham and Sarah having Yitzchok when it was not physically possible, to Yitzchok being childless for 20 years. As Jews, we should never give up hope; rather, we must recognize that at the point of greatest despair our tefilah, our expression of hope, is very effective and should be expressed to Hashem. |
