Families look out! We have a lot in store this year! Take a peek at some of the highlights coming your way!
In this week's Torah portion we might not notice what seems to be an insignificant detail. Several of the Jewish tribes request permission to settle on the eastern bank of the Jordan River, where there was abundant pasture for their cattle, instead of continuing on into Israel.
They assure Moshe, “We will build barns for our cattle and cities for our children here and then we will lead our brothers in conquering Israel." Moshe agrees and instructs them to "build cities for your children and barns for your cattle".
In their request, they prefaced the needs of their cattle (barns) before the needs of their families (cities), suggesting their possessions were of primary importance to them. In Moshe's response he changed the order, prefacing the needs of their families and children (cities) before that of their cattle (barns).
We must never forget what our focal point needs to be. Wealth is not gold, silver or any other physical possessions. Our families and children are our greatest treasures and they should always be our primary focus.
Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Zalman
