Reply To: Yichus – Its Importance and its Value

We are all descended from Odom Harishon and the reason that Hashem only created one Odom, was specifically to ensure that we would NOT be hung up on Yichus. No one could say, “I am descended from a more distinguished Odom than you are.” (My Odom is better than yours…) So if Hashem created us that way in order to circumvent such a possibility, why on earth are we even discussing Yichus now? It certainly is not in line with the intent of Hakodosh Boruch Hu.
