RabbiJonathan2011

Numbers 31:10 And all their towns, among their settlements, and all their tent-villages, they burned with fire.

 

This verse from Mattot-Masei, our Torah reading this week, reminds us of the devastation that our ancestors brought to Midian as an act of vengeance.

 

The People of Israel did this. This was no act of God.

 

We have the power to destroy, and we have the power to make change. Read more.
