Connecting with the Older Generation

"Take advantage and connect with the older generation."

The Torah tells us of the death of Yosef, his brothers, and their entire generation. This world works as a wheel that turns. A new generation comes, and the old one goes. The generation that is on its way out is always on a higher level than the younger generation.

Therefore, the younger are supposed to ask their elders to be taught and advised, as the Pasuk in Ha’azinu states (Devarim 32:7): “Ask your parent, who will inform you.” Now we also have an extra reason to reach out to them because they must tell us the story of the Holocaust - the details of the biggest tragedy - and with it the biggest Kiddush Hashem.
