ОТРЫВКИ ИЗ БЕСЕД РЕБЕ Сокрушат руку и голову Читайте на стр.4 В начале главы «Дварим» звучит повеление воинам колена Реувена и Гада, «идти в бой впереди народа Израиля». Раши поясняет: «Они были богатырями, мужественными воинами, а потому были поставлены во главе войска, как сказано: «Сокрушат руку и голову». Сыны Реувена и Гада имели два боевых порядка: они шли впереди войска
отдельной боевой единицей (авангард) и в самом войске Израиля заполняли первые ряды атакующих. В терминах духовного служения мы тоже знаем два пути ведения боя. Первый из них, соответствующий готовности Гада и Реувена идти впереди войска, – самоотверженное служение (месирут нефеш), которое выше рассудка и коренится в самой сердцевине души.

Criticism: Constructive or Counter Productive? What’s the best way to influence people to modify their behavior? The Book of Deuteronomy begins: “These are words of reproof,” explains Rashi. The verse lists the places where the Israelites sinned, without specifying the details. Moses only alluded to their misdeeds, without elaborating on all the gory details, so as not to humiliate them. Rashi adds that Moses waited to rebuke the people
until shortly before his passing for two important reasons: Firstly, so he wouldn’t become a nudnik having to rebuke them repeatedly; and secondly, so that they wouldn’t keep seeing him and being embarrassed every time. Clearly, even if we must criticize someone, we should take care to do it delicately, in a way that maintains their dignity. Moses did not say, “You lousy idolaters! How could you do such a thing?! You saw G‑d at Sinai and now you prance in front of a Golden Calf?!”

No. Not at all. Moses said but two words, and even those two words were ever so subtle. Di zahav. It sounds like a place, but Rashi tells us it is actually a subtle reference to the Israelites’ sin of the Golden Calf. Di can be understood as dai (“ it is enough” - as in Dayeinu), and zahav means gold. Continues on a page 12
