Ví dụ

We have two daughters and I bless them every week both to be like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah, and to be like Ephraim and Menashe.

One of the most beautiful customs in Jewish (người Do Thái) life is for parents to bless their children at the start of the Friday night Shabbat meal. Girls receive the blessing: "May God make you like the matriarchs (nữ chúa) Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah." Boys, meanwhile, are blessed "to be like Ephraim and Menashe."

Every step of his life demonstrated “Ani Yosef.” I remain Joseph. Whether one is at the pinnacle (đỉnh cao nhất) of greatness or at the nadir (đất đen, điểm thấp nhất) of persecution–Joseph embodied both extremes–one can always be a Joseph, faithful to the Torah and to the Jewish people. This is why we bless our children to be like Ephraim and Menashe, Joseph’s children, who grew up in an exile (lưu đày) with few, if any role models yet remained faithful to God.
