6. His father Rabbi Shimon said to him: When the people of Yisrael were righteous men of truth and gave charity, they were not afraid, save Jacob alone, WHO, THE VERSE TELLS US, WAS AFRAID, SAYING, "FOR I FEAR HIM" (BERESHEET 32:12), WHILE YISRAEL IS A NAME OF GREATNESS, WITHOUT FEAR. IT IS due to the good deeds YISRAEL did, and the kindness amongst them THAT THEY HAD NO FEAR.
