Parashat Matot (heads of the tribes)
The Israelites are about to cross the Jordan River. 2.5
tribes ask Moses: Do you mind if we stay here? It may not be the promised land,
but it is good for our cattle.
Moses has two answers: 1) Your brothers and sisters will be
in war and you will sit comfortable here? 2) Your actions may motivate the rest
of the people not to want to enter the land of Israel too!!!
Moses' first answer made me think of my family in Israel,
myself and the famous phrase: "Any similarity with reality is pure
coincidence"...
Moses' second answer made me think of how much impact our
actions may affect others. Very much.
