2. How can the experience of being in exile - as with Ephraim and Menashe - impact a family's cultural and religious identity over time?
3. How do you think blessing one's descendants influences family traditions and values across generations?

These questions come from this week’s Family Edition to Rabbi Sacks’ Covenant & Conversation. For an interactive, multi-generational study, check out the full edition at www.RabbiSacks.org/covenant-conversation-family-edition/vayechi/grandparents/
