The older we get, the more frail we grow, which would’ve been especially true for someone like Moses, who had spent decades <strong>carrying the heavy burden of leadership</strong> and who had guided his people through <strong>some of the most stressful moments in their history.</strong> How could he have remained so youthful and virile?</p> 7<br><br> 8<p>“I used to think,” explained the late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, “that ‘his eyes were undimmed’ and ‘his natural force unabated’ were simply two descriptions, until it dawned on me that the first was an explanation of the second. Why was his energy unabated? Because his eyes were undimmed. <strong>He never lost the vision and high ideals of his youth.</strong> He was as passionate at the end as he was at the beginning. His commitment to justice, compassion, liberty and responsibility was unyielding, despite the many disappointments of his forty years as a leader. Theâ¯moral is clear: <em>If you want to stay young, never compromise your ideals.</em>”</p> 9<br><br> 10<p>So often, as we go through life, we’re met with those who, disguising their cynicism as the wisdom that c
10omes from experience, tell us that idealism is only for the young and foolish, and that growing older means learning to compromise the things you hold most dear. Moses’s last lesson is that the opposite is true. It is, as Rabbi Sacks put it, this: “Never compromise your ideals. Never give in to defeat or despair. Never stop journeying merely because the way is long and hard.” Amen to that.</p></div></article></div></section></section><section id="partner-wisdom-section"><section

This am spends the entirety of Shemot trying to grapple with the consequences of this transformation. Becoming a nation means developing an understanding of their shared destiny and of their common source of renewable spiritual energy, God\u0026rsquo;s commandments. It also means shedding off the mental yoke imposed by centuries of slavery, and embarking on an exodus not only of body but also of mind. It\u0026rsquo;s a daunting challenge, which is why the great medieval commentator Rashi explained that only a small portion of the Israelites chose to take the risk and hurry into the wilderness\u0026mdash;the rest preferred the familiarity of the house of bondage over the unknown challenges of breaking free. Shemot, then, poses a question we each wrestle with at one point or another in life, namely the meaning of being truly free, and the price we must pay for that privilege.\u003c/p\u003e19:T4cd,\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe best-selling author Herman Wouk once quipped that if the Torah was turned into a movie, Vayikra would remain on the cutting room floor. Take a cursory glimpse, and the sentiment resonates: The book is chock-full of archaic-sounding commandments, many of them pertaining to the priestly class and the work they did way back when in the Mishkan, or God\u0026rsquo;s temporary dwelling place on earth. What does any of it have to do with modern life? As it turns out, everything. Because Vayikra is a book about purity, holiness, righteousness, and goodness. Once Judaism\u0026rsquo;s First Family\u0026mdash;the one that began with Adam and continued with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob\u0026mdash;learned to understand its covenant with God, and once this family grew to become a nation, it was time to educate this nation about its main goal here on earth, namely living out God\u0026rsquo;s laws in ways that elevate this imperfect world and fill it with light.

Its English name, Numbers, sort of tells it all: At its heart, it\u0026rsquo;s a book of lists. Lists of the Israelite tribes and their princes. List of the gifts each tribe offered the Mishkan, or God\u0026rsquo;s temporary dwelling place on earth. Lists of the different families that made up the priestly class. Why should we, living millennia after these lists were compiled, care? Because these lists, of course, are not just lists; they\u0026rsquo;re deep and beautiful guides to life. Pay close attention to their small details, and they\u0026rsquo;ll tell you stories about humility and righteousness, deliver instructions on how to govern and how to compromise, and sketch out, after Vayikra\u0026rsquo;s long treaty about holiness, a firm vision of how to go about and set up a concrete society right here on earth. The late, great Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks captured the essence of Bamidbar perfectly. \u0026ldquo;Most religions,\u0026rdquo; he wrote, \u0026ldquo;are about accepting the world the way it is. Judaism is a protest against the world that is in the name of the world that ought to be.
