| "I appeared to Avraham, to Yitzchak, and to Yaacov as Kel Shakai..." (Veira 6:3).
Rashi explains that when Hashem appeared to the Avot, He revealed Himself as Kel Shakai when promising them that their descendants would inherit the Land of Israel. However, even though Hashem made this promise, when Avraham needed to bury Sara, he had to pay a high price for the land. Yitzchak faced troubles with the wells he dug in the Land of Israel, and Yaacov had to purchase land there at a steep cost. Yet, none of them complained to Hashem! In contrast, Moshe Rabenu questioned Hashem when the slavery intensified after he requested Pharaoh to release Klal Yisrael from bondage, asking, "Why did You do bad to this people?"
The difference lies in the nature of their challenges. The Avot were tested personally, while Moshe was concerned for the entire people of Israel. His complaint was not personal; it was a plea for Hashem to alleviate the suffering of Klal Yisrael. So why did Hashem admonish Moshe?
The answer is that Moshe questioned Hashem's justice, while the Avot never doubted it. They believed that everything Hashem does is just and ultimately for the good.
Today: Let us strengthen our faith and trust in Hashem. Know that everything Hashem does for Klal Yisrael and for you personally is just, and even if we cannot see the good now, it will ultimately emerge as good.
Note: This week, we learned that Klal Yisrael suffered under Egyptian bondage as a result of speaking Lashon Hara. In today’s world, we are constantly exposed to social media and news broadcasts, where Lashon Hara is widespread. We would love to hear from our subscribers: What practical steps can we take to address and rectify this issue in our own lives and communities? Thank you for your valuable insights and support! |
