Presented By: Rav Mordechai Gershon
Written by: Ori Engelman
In Parashat Chukat, in the episode of Mei Meriva, Moshe hits the rock instead of speaking to the rock as God commanded.
Question
Why was Moshe's punishment not entering the Land of Israel?
Answer
Moshe is compared to the sun, while Yehoshua to the moon. Unlike the sun, which blocks the light of the stars, when the moon shines at night, the light of the stars is visible. Similarly, moderated leadership is needed in the Land.
