In The Beginning

In The Beginning: "insight into the nature of crowds and their tendencies to complain as well as the importance of leaders and their role in handling issues as they arise.

Be Careful What You Ask For:

The lesson of Hashem’s providing meat for the masses to eat is so obvious as it almost requires no commentary.

However Moshe, our teacher seemed to have had gotten caught up in the mathematics of the matter and was questioning Hashem how it was possible to provide meat for the 600,000 with available supplies of sheep and cattle. Indeed Moshe had even considered a parve alternative, how about fish?"

In The Beginning: "Hashem then instructed Moshe to appoint seventy men from the elders of Israel. Hashem was going to increase Moshe’s spirit to place it on the seventy elders.

The Parasha had begun with Hashem telling Moshe to speak to Aharon regarding lighting the seven arm Menorah. Now Hashem was explaining to Moshe that he was going to use Moshe’s spirit and increase it and place it on seventy new leaders."

In The Beginning

In The Beginning: "not satisfied with our current status or lot in life, but are often clueless as to which way to turn to remedy the situation. By refusing too look at the big picture, we are simply cutting ourselves off from many of the potential remedies that are available to help us overcome the current obstacle. By having access to the wisdom of our holy Torah, we can attempt to grasp the situations that our ancestors were faced with and try to learn from the mistakes, or errors which they committed."
