PORTION COMMENTARY - VAYELECH

MOSES AND GETHSEMANE

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:

Death is offensive to the human soul, for God has set an immortal longing in our hearts, as it is written, “He has also set eternity in their heart.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

COMMENTARY:

In the Jewish legends about his death, Moses does not go passively or willingly. Instead, he argues vociferously for life. In anguish of soul, he implores God to spare him the indignity of death.
