Drash Cards for BaMidbar (5760)<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Marc Mangel<\/p>\n

\u2022 I have waited 3o years to give a drash with a capital Daled. I will orate in the tradition of the prophets, Heschel, or Baptist preachers<\/p>\n

\u2022 The whole picture: \u00a06 weeks ago we were told to behave “As if we all left Egypt”. \u00a0One week ahead we will be at Sinai<\/p>\n

\u2022 You just don’t cross the water and become free — change takes time (40 yrs in this case)<\/p>\n

\u2022 You can’t get into the promised land without going into the desert. What is your desert?<\/p>\n

\u2022 This book used to be called Chumash Ha-Pekudim (the book of inventories]. Mishna Yoma notes that this is the first citizen’s army<\/p>\n

\u2022 So I ask today, who is a hero? And want to compare Joni Netanayahu and Butch Williams<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hermann Wouk “When a man like Col. Netanyahu dies in a flaming deed of glory we feel agony and sadness, but there’s a sense of tragic catharsis in what the man achieved with his death. But what did Butch Williams achieve with his death?…I’ll tell you what he did. He served he was there”. Heroes are those who are there and who serve.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In Ch 51 we read that any outsider who encroaches shall be put to death (think of Nadav and Avihu). The Talmud says that this even applies to King David.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Rabbis teach us that community is based not on a hierarchy of importance but on a hierarchy of responsibility. Even David, who met his responsibility, could not take over those of the Levites<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
