Parashat Shoftim / Elul 5785 / Aug 29
Rabbi Noa Kushner
Remembering What We Have Forgotten
As if torah wants us to know everyone forgets
You can be a moral paragon, God can lovingly respond to every single one of your texts,
You can be the first patriarch of the entire jewish project and still it does not matter
We all forget sometimes
We forget who we are and how needed we are by God
The question is what we do once we realize we have forgotten
Parashat Pinchas / July 18 / Rabbi Noa Kushner / צְאִי־לָךְ בְּעִקְבֵי הַצֹּאן / "Follow the tracks of the flock”: Moses, Fear and Death
Parashat Pinchas / July 18
Rabbi Noa Kushner
צְאִי־לָךְ בְּעִקְבֵי הַצֹּאן / "Follow the tracks of the flock”: Moses, Fear and Death
Moses' central question is no longer
"מִי אָנֹכִי?” / “Who am I?” Or, How can all these things ever be accomplished through me?
But rather, “What about them?”
"Who will take care of them?”
"What will happen to them after I am gone?
