How
easy it is to criticize leaders when they stumble.
How
easy it is to say "I know he or she was not capable" after they fail.
Moses
was in a weak position. We read how the mission of the spies failed and,
as a result, the people of Israel will not enter into their land.
Now
he is questioned? Why didn't Korach question Moses during the 10 plagues? Why
didn't Korach question him when they crossed the sea or when they received the
Torah?
Korach
was not only rebelling against Moses; he was taking advantage of his
situation. That was probably his biggest mistake.
We
need to remember that leaders have a responsibility, and they deserve to
be trusted but also respected.
Respecting
the leaders for what they did, honoring their accomplishments, acknowledging
their performance.
So
when they fail, we do not forget all the good they did for us.
Shabbat Shalom
