so the posix says in tehillim joseph yoshivac psalms chapter 80. the shepherd of israel please listen the one who led joseph joseph as flock the one who dwells among the cherubs please appear and rashi explains what does it mean the and rashi explains what does it mean the one who led yosef like flock the one who leads leads joseph like flock all the jewish people have the name of joseph because he sustained us during the days of hunger and therefore we assume the name of joseph so when it says hashem leads his flock and the name of his flock is joseph katzen yosef he leads joseph like his father like it's like it would say he leads the jewish people like flock like a shepherd jewish people like flock like a shepherd leads flock our name is joseph because since joseph sustained there's the literal interpretation of since he sustained this our very existence was dependent on him so therefore our very identity our very name is so much connected to joseph because he is the one who guaranteed our being our very name our very existence the fact that we can be that we can endure the question is however number one the question is however number one does it really make sense to say because of a very short period thousands of years ago when he sustained us during the times of hunger because of that itself for eternity we assume his name joseph seems a little difficult to comprehend and number two furthermore this verse these this chapter and psalm is trying to bring out special unique virtues of the jewish people
