A note on the Torah portion this week, Vayechi, in which Jacob blesses Joseph's sons, Menashe and Ephraim. that they should join Jacob's sons and become progenitors of the nation of Israel. Let's take a moment to bless our children, whether lost to abortion or with us here on Earth, that through HaShem's mystery and power, each one will ultimately fulfill their honorable and noble destiny.
"God, before Whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, walked, God Who sustained me as long as I am alive, until this day, may the angel who redeemed me from all harm bless the youths, and may they be called by my name and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, and may they multiply abundantly like fish, in the midst of the land."
Genesis 48:15-16.
