CHEERING UP THE DEJECTED “And they told him, saying, "Yoseph is still alive," and that he ruled over the entire land of Egypt... and the spirit of their father Yaakov was revived” (45:26-27) Osher’s daughter Serach was rewarded by going straight to Gan Eden in her lifetime accompanied by 600,000 angels for telling the news to Yaakov, especially since she did so gently and gradually (Targum Yonoson on 46:17 and Bamidbor 26:46). In return for reviving Yaakov’s spirit, she merited eternal life for her own spirit. Similarly, anyone who cheers up the dejected, reviving their spirits, receives eternal rewards for their efforts.
