Biha’alosecha 10-11 Rejoicing at leaving the holy Mountain (Yeshiva Achei Temimim 5782/ 2022)
There are four tragedies in our Parsha:
1) Rejoicing at leaving Har Sinai
2) Complaining at the rate of travel (מתאוננים)
3) Protesting Divine Food, for the most absurd reasons (קברות התאוה)
4) Miriam’s Lashon HaRa and subsequent Tzara’as.
Pehaps the strangest of all is the first one: why be happy that you’re distanced further from God?
A suggestion: they struggled with the balance of spirituality and orthodoxy (so many details); but they were (of course) wrong, as the Rebbe once explained in a Yechidus: ‘the details are for US’.
