mchemtob; I like your piece. It’s good for introspection. It shows how far we’ve come. (really in an inverted way.)When there are other qualities in a person, Yichus is a good addition. But by itself it counts for nothing. In my book, a person who comes from a background that is not very strong in Torah and turns out to be a Ehrlicher Yid and Talmid Chacham, is much more noteworthy than someone who comes from a family of Rabbonim and Roshei Yeshivos and just continues in their tradition.
