- Q. See question above. Is it also true that parents have more pain when their children suffer, than the children have when their parents suffer?
A. We find in last week's Parsha, that Yehudah was pleading to Yosef to allow Binyomin to return to his father, otherwise his father (Yakov) would die.
Why not plead about the suffering of Binyomin's ten sons?
The Kotzker Rebbe answers "From here we see that parents are in more pain when their children are suffering than the pain children have when their parents are suffering".
