In this week’s Torah Portion ‘Chukas’ we are told of the passing of Miriam, through whose merits the well of water which brought sustenance to the Jewish people – hence the name ‘Miriams well’ – ended with her passing.
The Torah continues that Moshe (Moses) seeing that there was no much needed water, took it on himself to pursue that issue as the Jewish people needed water.
The Rabbis teach us, that although Moshe had his primary work cut out – as the leader of the Jewish people he had his work cut out – however, if there was a need not being met i.e. there was no water it was his responsibility.
At Aleph Institute we meet the needs of water and shelter daily for those re-entering society, three people this week were provided shelter for thru the efforts of our staff. One of them a family of four is out of living in a hotel and into a more stable environment.
Good Shabbos
