CHASSIDISHE STORY ON THE PARSHA
פרשת ויגש
Parshas Vayigash
ויפל על צוארי בנימין ויבך ובנימן בכה על צואריו (ויגש מה:יד)
Then he fell upon his brother Binyamin’s neck and wept: and Binyamin wept upon his neck.When the Imrei Emes of Ger zt’’l met with Maran Reb Aharon of Belz zt’l upon his escape and arrival to Eretz Yisroel, the Imrei Emes told Maran, “Chazal say that when the brothers met, they each cried on each other’s neck, Yosef cried because of the Churban – the destruction of the two Beis Hamikdash in Binyamin’s property. And Binyanim cried because of Churban Shilo – the destruction that will take place in Yosef’s property.”
The Imrei Emes asked,” Why didn’t each cry over his Churban-devastation?” He answered that we learn a powerful lesson: ‘A person has to build anew following his Churban – devastation, not cry, but build from scratch! And if one wants to cry, they should cry over the other’s devastation – a cry of Chesed!’
