Why Did Moses Hit the Rock?
|
Moses hitting the rock is one of the most mystifying episodes recounted in the Torah.
The well that supplied the Israelites with water dried up. G‑d instructed Moses to go to Mount Horeb and extract water from a rock. Moses did so successfully, but in the course of executing G‑d's command, he commits a grave error. As a result, it is decreed that Moses must die in the desert, and Joshua will be the one who will lead the Israelites in to the Promised Land.

The Coin Toss Was Not Random
By Rabbi Shalom Avtzon - in honor of 12-13 Tammuz, the anniversary of The previous Lubavitcher Rebbe's release from Communist imprisonment (1927).

At the age of fifteen, the sixth Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, took the position of personal assistant to his father, Rabbi Sholom DovBer, the Rebbe Rashab.
This meant that anyone—even veteran rabbis and prestigious leaders—who came to discuss communal matters with the Rebbe Rashab, would discuss them with his son as well.

Millennial Dinner
As cool and as exciting as it sounds
For the first time since the Corona Craziness started, we hosted a mini dinner. My three children and a dear nephew. 4 total.
Hmmm, most interesting and odd Corona-imposed Millennial Dinner Seating Arrangement, but it worked beautifully: two in the North Pole separated by 6+ feet, two in the South Pole separated by 6+ feet, and me and hubs hovering over the brood from somewhere in the Equidistant Equator Zone.
