Reasoning behind אותו ואת בנו

ב''ה The reason that an אונן who lost their mother or father is not obligated in מצות until they are buried is that the child has a little of the the soul of their parents in them.

Eliyahu Hanavi fled to Har Sinai in escape from Queen Izevel. Truthfully, his encounter there is paralleled in the parts of a storm, every time it rains. The wind, then the noise of the thunder, then the fire of the lightning and then, the main hamshacha -divine gift, which is the rain - a soft still voice. -Mittler Rebbe Every time you hear rain it is like Hashem softly speaking to you from Har Sinai. ~~~   יא  וַיֹּאמֶר, צֵא וְעָמַדְתָּ בָהָר לִפְנֵי יְהוָה, וְהִנֵּה יְהוָה עֹבֵר וְרוּחַ גְּדוֹלָה וְחָזָק מְפָרֵק הָרִים וּמְשַׁבֵּר סְלָעִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָה, לֹא בָרוּחַ יְהוָה; וְאַחַר הָרוּחַ רַעַשׁ, לֹא בָרַעַשׁ יְהוָה.   יב  וְאַחַר הָרַעַשׁ אֵשׁ, לֹא בָאֵשׁ יְהוָה; וְאַחַר הָאֵשׁ, קוֹל דְּמָמָה דַקָּה. מלכים א פרק יט "And he said, "go out and stand on the mountain in front of Hashem, here Hashem passes by and a great strong wind that breaks apart mountain and smashes rocks infront of Hashem, Hashem is not in the wind; after the wind ...
