Never Stop Growing

Parashas Vaโ€™eschanan

Harav Hagaon Elimelech Reznik

In this weekโ€™s parashah, Moshe Rabbeinu implored Hashem to be able to enter Eretz Yisrael, since Hashem had decreed that he could not enter because of the cheit of Mei Merivah. Regarding the words ื‘ึธึผืขึตืช ื”ึทื”ึดื•ื in the opening passuk, ื•ึธืึถืชึฐื—ึทื ึทึผืŸ ืึถืœ ื”’ ื‘ึธึผืขึตืช ื”ึทื”ึดื•ื ืœึตืืžึนืจ, Rashi comments that after Moshe Rabbeinu captured the lands of Sichon and Og, he thought that this gezeirah had been annulled.

Why did he think so?

The Kli Yakar gives the following explanation. The Rishonim and Acharonim discuss what exactly was the cheit of Mei Merivah, and the Kli Yakar cites the opinion of the Sefer Haโ€™ikarim, which contrasts starkly with the general theme of many of the other opinions. The common thread among many of the opinions of the Rishonim is that Hakadosh Baruch Hu told Moshe to speak to the rock, but Moshe hit it, losing the opportunity to make a proper kiddush Hashem, as the passuk says, ื™ึทืขึทืŸ ืœึนื ื”ึถืึฑืžึทื ึฐืชึถึผื ื‘ึดึผื™ ืœึฐื”ึทืงึฐื“ึดึผื™ืฉึตืื ึดื™. Because Klal Yisrael attributed the nes to Moshe Rabbeinu more than they should have, this diminished the kiddush Shem Shamayim. Had he spoken to the rock, it would have been a clear nes, entirely attributable to the Eibishter, but now, it looked as though some other force was involved.

Other Rishonim say that the problem was with the wording used by Moshe and Aharon โ€”ื”ึฒืžึดืŸ ื”ึทืกึถึผืœึทืข ื”ึทื–ึถึผื” ื ื•ึนืฆึดื™ื ืœึธื›ึถื ืžึธื™ึดื โ€” which made it sound as though they were the ones doing it. This, too, follows the same theme, that they caused the nes not to be fully attributed to Hakadosh Baruch Hu.

The Sefer Haโ€™ikarimโ€™s explanation is precisely the opposite. What happened when Klal Yisrael needed water? Moshe Rabbeinu went and he davened to Hashem โ€” but he shouldnโ€™t have done that. When Yiddishe kinder needed water, he should have gotten up on his own, gone to the rock, and commanded it to give water, without going to involve Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Had he done that, it would have been the greatest possible kiddush Hashem. The rule is that ืฆื“ื™ืง ื’ื•ื–ืจ ื•ื”ืงื‘”ื” ืžืงื™ื™ื, and since all of Creation is subordinate to tzaddikim, they donโ€™t have to go to the Eibishter to ask. If the kingโ€™s servant gives a command, and he has the power to bring that command to fruition, it shows how prestigious the kingโ€™s servants are. Therefore, had Moshe Rabbeinu decreed on his own that the rock give water, he would have caused a massive kiddush Hashem, and his cheit was failing to do so.

The Kli Yakar notes that during the war with Sichon and Og, Moshe caused the sun to stand still, in order to finish the war. We derive this from a gezeirah shavah: just as Yehoshua caused the sun to stand still during the conquest of Eretz Yisrael, Moshe Rabbeinu did the same thing. The Kli Yakar says that the comparison must be a total one: If Yehoshua did this of his own accord, then Moshe Rabbeinu must have done the same, so we can derive that he didnโ€™t daven to Hashem to stop the sun, but did so on his own. If so, this should have caused a tremendous kiddush Hashem and a chizuk in emunah, rectifying the cheit of Mei Merivah. Therefore, Moshe Rabbeinu thought that the decree was annulled, and he could now daven to enter Eretz Yisrael. Thatโ€™s how the Kli Yakar understands the words ื‘ึธึผืขึตืช ื”ึทื”ึดื•ื.

In the Middle of a Sugya

Chazal say that Moshe Rabbeinu davened many tefillos to be able to enter Eretz Yisrael, and the simple understanding of the passuk ืึทืชึธึผื” ื”ึทื—ึดืœึผื•ึนืชึธ ืœึฐื”ึทืจึฐืื•ึนืช ืึถืช ืขึทื‘ึฐื“ึฐึผืšึธ ืึถืช ื’ึธึผื“ึฐืœึฐืšึธ ื•ึฐืึถืช ื™ึธื“ึฐืšึธ ื”ึทื—ึฒื–ึธืงึธื” is that these words were the beginning of his prayer. But what was the tefillah expressed in these words?

Perhaps we can explain that Moshe Rabbeinu was conveying a powerful idea here. A person is sent into Olam Hazeh to accomplish, to shteig, to grow and reach the maximum level in avodas Hashem and perception of Hakadosh Baruch Hu. The Gemara says, in Niddah, that when a person is born, he is instructed to make a shevuah: ืชื”ื™ ืฆื“ื™ืง ื•ืืœ ืชื”ื™ ืจืฉืข ื•ืืคื™ืœื• ื›ืœ ื”ืขื•ืœื ื›ื•ืœื• ืื•ืžืจื™ื ืœืš ืฆื“ื™ืง ืืชื” ื”ื™ื” ื‘ืขื™ื ื™ืš ื›ืจืฉืข. Why is the person told to view himself as a rasha even if everyone tells him heโ€™s a tzaddik? Doesnโ€™t the Mishnah in Avos say the opposite: ื•ืืœ ืชื”ื™ ืจืฉืข ื‘ืคื ื™ ืขืฆืžืš?

When the Gemara says that a person should view himself as a rasha, it does not mean that you should consider yourself evil and a baal aveirah, but rather that you should think that you havenโ€™t yet achieved your maximum potential. A person comes to this world to grow and improve, not to be mistapek bโ€™muat and feel that youโ€™ve done enough. If you feel accomplished, that means you have achieved your tachlis, so then itโ€™s time to die. Thereโ€™s absolutely no reason to remain in Olam Hazeh if youโ€™ve fulfilled your potential. The shevuah the person makes at birth, then, is that even if people tell him that heโ€™s a tzaddik โ€” meaning a finished product that has already reached its highest possible madreigah โ€” he should not accept that.

The Mishnah in Avos is expressing a different idea: that a person shouldnโ€™t consider himself a rasha and therefore despair.

The concept of being sameiach bโ€™chelko is said regarding matters of gashmiyus, as R’ Baruch Ber explains. Regarding spiritual matters, a person should not be content with his lot! He should be happy with what he has but should always want more and strive to grow. Such a person belongs in Olam Hazeh, which is the place of growth.

Returning to Moshe Rabbeinuโ€™s tefillah, with the words ืึทืชึธึผื” ื”ึทื—ึดืœึผื•ึนืชึธ ืœึฐื”ึทืจึฐืื•ึนืช ืึถืช ืขึทื‘ึฐื“ึฐึผืšึธ ืึถืช ื’ึธึผื“ึฐืœึฐืšึธ ื•ึฐืึถืช ื™ึธื“ึฐืšึธ ื”ึทื—ึฒื–ึธืงึธื” he was conveying, โ€œEibishter, I started seeing Your greatness in the war with Sichon and Og โ€” but You have just started showing it to me! Iโ€™m at the beginning of the sugya, Iโ€™m in middle of shteiging.โ€

Even Moshe Rabbeinu โ€” the greatest navi, who ascended Har Sinai and met the Eibishter face to face โ€” felt that he had more to shteig, greater levels of perceiving Hashemโ€™s greatness that he wanted to attain. Basically, he was saying to Hashem, โ€œIโ€™m in middle of the Tosafos! Iโ€™m by the ื•ืื ืชืืžืจ. Iโ€™m holding at the beginning of the sugya of Your greatness, so please let me finish.โ€

There is a profound eitzah in Moshe Rabbeinuโ€™s tefillah. He was coming not only to rebuke Klal Yisrael, but also to teach us this secret of tefillah that can prolong a personโ€™s life: โ€œIโ€™m just starting; I have more to accomplish here in Olam Hazeh.โ€

But Hashem did not accept his tefillah, responding, ืจึทื‘ ืœึธืšึฐ, ืึทืœ ืชึผื•ึนืกึถืฃ ื“ึทึผื‘ึตึผืจ ืึตืœึทื™. Why was this tefillah not accepted?

Itโ€™s Never Enough

Chazal say that Hashemโ€™s response was middah kโ€™neged middah for the words Moshe Rabbeinu said to Korach: ืจึทื‘ ืœึธื›ึถื ื‘ึฐึผื ึตื™ ืœึตื•ึดื™. He used the phrase ืจึทื‘ ืœึธื›ึถื, so Hashem told him, ืจึทื‘ ืœึธืšึฐ.

How are we to understand this? Korach and his followers were reshaโ€™im, and Moshe told them to stop their rebellion; they were asking to be kohanim, and that was too much. So why did he deserve to be punished for saying that?

Rโ€™ Shlomo Kluger answers with a mashal. A rich man and a poor man were once brought before a judge for stealing, and the judge punished both of them, but addressed the two very differently. To the poor man, the judge said, โ€œI understand why you took someone elseโ€™s things โ€” you donโ€™t have money, and you needed them โ€” but stealing is forbidden.โ€ To the rich man, he said, โ€œYou, I donโ€™t understand. You have everything in the world, and you want more?โ€

These represent two ways a person can give tochachah. When Moshe Rabbeinu rebuked Korach and his followers, he gave them the rich manโ€™s reproach: โ€œRav lachem โ€” you have so much! Why do you want more? I donโ€™t understand you.โ€

The issue with this, says Rโ€™ Shlomo Kluger, is that to Yiddishe kinder you donโ€™t say โ€œrav lach.โ€ A Yid always wants more โ€” heโ€™s here to shteig and to grow. Moshe Rabbeinu should have given them the other tochachah, the tochachah of the poor man. He should have told Korach, โ€œI understand you want kehunah, I understand you want the avodah, but Hashem said no. There are boundaries in the world, and youโ€™re a Levi, not a Kohen.โ€ Instead, Moshe Rabbeinu gave the rich manโ€™s tochachah: โ€œYou have enough, you donโ€™t need more.โ€

Middah kโ€™neged middah, the Eibishter turned down Moshe Rabbeinuโ€™s tefillah of ืึทืชึธึผื” ื”ึทื—ึดืœึผื•ึนืชึธ by telling him,ืจึทื‘ ืœึธืšึฐ . Hakadosh Baruch Hu is ืžื“ืงื“ืง ืขื ืฆื“ื™ืงื™ื ื›ื—ื•ื˜ ื”ืฉืขืจื”, and just as Moshe Rabbeinu told Yiddishe kinder, โ€œDonโ€™t ask for more, you donโ€™t need more,โ€ Hakadosh Baruch Hu punished him by rebuffing his tefillah and saying, ืจึทื‘ ืœึธืšึฐ ืึทืœ ืชึผื•ึนืกึถืฃ ื“ึทึผื‘ึตึผืจ ืึตืœึทื™.

A person should always be looking to shteig and grow. Tomorrow has to be better than today, and we should never be mistapek bโ€™muat, but should always look for more and for better.

Gut Shabbos.
