Chevra, this week’s parsha is מַטּוֹת - מַסְעֵי (Matot - Masei). This week we finish reading Sefer Bamidbar. Last week I mentioned that 2.5 tribes requested to stay on the East Side of the Jordan River. When they made that request they said they would build pens for their animals, cities for their families and then come and fight. When Moshe approved their request, he re-ordered that list to fighting with the rest of Am Yisrael, making cities for their families and making pens for their animals. At Amazon we have our priorities from the Leadership Principles. As is stated, until we come up with better ones and they are occasionally modified. In the Torah, the ethics and ideas are sometimes brought down from “on high”, literally, but sometimes, like here are being worked out by the people in the stories. The greatness of Moshe was that he was a Leader who was Always Right, but he also knew how to Disagree and Commit. Shabbat Shalom
