"I Want to Want" As a young teenager, Shmuel was not particularly keen on studying Talmud. But that’s what he was raised to do, and so off he went to an advanced yeshivah in Far Rockaway. When he entered the office of the rosh yeshivah, Rabbi Shlomo Freifeld, for his admission interview, the rabbi asked him, “Do you want to learn?” Shmuel candidly replied, “No. But I want to want to learn.” To which Rabbi Freifeld replied, “OK, you’re in.” A Disgrace, or Not?

Parshat
Behaalotecha,
G‑d appears to Moses and instructs him to inform the Jewish people that they are to offer the Paschal Lamb once again in the desert, as they did previously on the eve of their redemption in Egypt: G‑d spoke to Moses in the Sinai Desert . . . “The children of Israel shall make the Passover sacrifice in its appointed time.” Rashi points out that this verse is not in the proper chronological place, as the chapters that precede it described events that happened afterward.While this isn’t necessarily a problem, for it is well known that the Torah doesn’t read in chronological order, there must be a reason for this deviation.

Rashi explains that it’s to avoid disgracing the people. You see, the Paschal Lamb described in these verses is the only one the Jewish people offered their entire time in the desert. Though they wandered about for 40 years, through all that time they offered no other Paschal sacrifice. Continues on a page 4
