There is a big difference between perceived yichus and just knowing where you came from.
I don�t come from anyone who was a well-known Rav. But I know that my grandparents were amazing people. They were Holocaust survivors who kept their emunah and bitachon. They came to America and built a family of frum, ehrlich people. I wish I�d have a quarter of the faith that they had. To me, that is good yichus.
My Rebbe, R� Bender, held my grandmother in such high esteem. He still sometimes speaks to me about her, and how amazing she was. I have pictures of him at some of my family�s simchas, where he made sure to go to the women�s side to wish her a Mazal tov. He�d sit at her table just to speak with her for a few minutes.
That�s yichus that is worth something.
