In Beha’alotcha, we encounter one of the central themes of the book of Bamidbar: the Israelite people complaining. They are unsatisfied with the Divinely-provided manna, and long for what they remember as the bounty of Egypt. They then cry out in complaint.
Avigayil, excuse the cliche, but these divrei torah are always a breath of fresh air in my inbox and i so look forward to reading them each week. thank you!!!!!!!
I just want to say this one really hit home this week. My oldest child is being diagnosed with an obscure auto-immune disorder and a diet prohibiting the Top 6 allergens is recommended: No dairy (not just lactose) no wheat (not just gluten) no eggs no soy no tree nuts no peanuts no fish or shellfish. It is good to know that complaining about what we eat, a very human feeling, is worth including in the Torah, and that even the Rabbis acknowledge that cravings for what we want are valid and do not make us bad people, even if we and HaShem try and hold ourselves to a higher standard. Thank you
