Sender, we see the Rav and we recognize him immediately, he is but one. He sees us and he sees many, many people he loves and admires but he doesn’t immediately place the name and the face, the face and the family, etc. Sometimes, unless we have a serious and personal ongoing relationship with our Rav, it is difficult for them to connect the dots on the spot and needs to be reminded who we are and what we are going through. A teacher who teaches 5 periods a day will recognize a student, one out of a possible 150, but might not know his name unless he is sitting in the classroom and the student is sitting in his seat. Out of place and context, it is difficult for a teacher to remember everyone unless he is reminded and might say “I believe you are a student of mine, remind me who you are and what class of mine you are in”.
